Sweet, thanks Von. This gets me in the right direction. I’m mostly in an area that rains with occasional flooding, especially after long drought periods or heavy rainfall. Do any of the brands at a particular size such as 275/70 run smaller than others? I’ll check out the lift and tire...

Hey guys, it has been awhile since I have been on, just busy with work and life. Anyways, I’ve done a few things to my 08’ SR5, rebuilt the front suspension put a 3” lift and replaced the radio and front speakers so far, along with a few little odds and ends here and there. Since everything I...

I hear ya. I’m kinda in that same boat. I’m very skeptical on wheel spacers. It was a definite no no in the ford crowd due to possible breakage and losing your wheel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice 4Runner, your son must be really excited. Very interested in seeing how the wheels work out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well here is what I had before the 4runner 81 Datsun pickup 86 Volvo 740 86 Ford Mustang 5.0 87 Volvo 240 94 Toyota Previa 03 Lexus RX300 The Datsun was alright but was rusting from the inside out. The Volvo 740 was what I finished high school in, which had a decent system. The Mustang I...

That is a good point, didn’t think about the lower bushings and probably ball joints. They are probably gonna need replacing, wouldn’t hurt if I’m going that far into it. I keep the pan hard bar in the back of my mind. Not sure if I’ll need it right now. For right now, I’m just lifting...

Most off-roading it would see is either driving on the beach, or heading up to the hill country hitting some scenic trails or visiting relatives on a ranch. Bumpy dirt roads. I’m still relatively new to the 4Runner game, the most I have done with this truck besides headlights has been oil...

Ok. I’ll take a look at dirt king. For the most part the aftermarket UCA is just to help with camber, like you said. I know I can just freshen up my original ones or just straight out use what I have, however I don’t want to be at my limits with stock parts when aligning with a lift, spacers...

Ok, I think I have racked my brain on researching this. I’m planning on lifting my truck this summer, already got my spacers purchased though Burtman Industries. Going for a 3” lift. Looking for recommendations for the supporting parts. UCA, seems to have a bunch of manufacturers, JBA...

Man, been away for a bit, looks like everything I thought of on this has been done. Including the tow harness ( no exposed wires or female connections touching) and plunger adjustment. Looks like you checked the wires, volt tested and ohm checked them with no luck. My only last thing I...

Hey guys and gals, Since it looks like there is a good amount of members here all round Houston, what shops do you recommend? I’m looking for a shop mainly as a backup plan. I can do all my work, however in more recent times medical issues and work seem to get in my way. Thanks...

I would just go buy a new one. That is what I have done in the past with fan clutches. I wasn’t aware of them being disassembled to drain the oil out of. 20k cst is pretty thick material. Now it makes me want to find a fan clutch in one of my parts bins to see if it is possible, it’s...

My 08’ SR5 V6 was purchase on Aug. of 08’ and was end of year special. 23miles on the odometer as we drove it off the lot. It was a replacement for my wife’s dying Saturn. One accident , several road trips, one college move in and some minor weathered out parts 14yrs later. It is at...

It will be interesting to see if this fixes it. I have seen them fail, not too often, but has happened. If this doesn’t work, I would trace what all is tied into the brake switch connection. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I may have missed that. Look at the wire diagram, check the relay and fuses. Possible relay is stuck in power instead of switching Might be a little late as I was typing and troubleshooting Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
