OP Here - did a complete drain and refill with max life (13 or so quarts). Been around 70K miles since I did it. transmission is working fine and I have pulled 5,000 pounds over 1,100 miles multiple times over 70K miles. Actually, I am about to do another complete drain and refill just for...

2018 Bump. How are these holding up? About the purchase some moog ball joints and want to know if they have gotten better from a quality perspective from past problems. Joe

You don't need to lift any. 265 70 17 fit fine in the rear. Front might rub little without the lift.

One year update with the Mevotech LCA- Boots are ripped and bushings have a lot of play in them after 15K of normal road driving with some offload mixed in. Would not buy again. Going to rebuild my OEM lower arms with Moog bushings and ball joints. As i get older, i realize that you get what...

Someone got too close to my vehicle on the side of the street and busted my mirror. Can I buy an OEM painted replacement from Toyota still?

4600 are what came on the tacomas. Plenty of us on the forum use the tacoma suspension swap (me included). They will be fine for a level.

I disagree with using the SPC cam bolts. Just wire wheel/clean up the OEM bolts and use generous amount of anti seize. People have had good luck with SPC and then their are people who haven't.

something is right there. That caliper looks suspect.

You definitely have something wrong with your calipers/hubs/rotors or you have an aftermarket caliper. Those 17s are the sport model and they came with the 13wh calipers. You shouldn't have a problem..

I guess I’m not surprised by all this. In the end - you get what you pay for. I found some 13wh junk yard calipers that I’m going to r &r herbsoon. There are detailed write ups on the process already on here but one more couldn’t hurt.

Back in 2014 I had two frozen front brake calipers and got remans from Autozone. Those lasted 3 years and then suffered from the same corrosion that did in my original OEM front calipers. Fast forward to this weekend - went to autozone and used the life time warranty. Before I put the...

What is wrong with you? Just use the sawzall and get some quality blades. Those bolts are hardened steel and tough to cut through.

thanks dude!

I was in the process of changing calipers when my brake line that connects to the caliper started to strip. This is the hard line BEFORE the flex hose. Been looking at Toyota online parts but can’t seem to find the hard line. Anyone have a part number? Much appreciated.

All, I recently lifted and level my 4 runner and now Im going to be replacing the ATF fluid in via the lines near the radiator. Anything I should note when Im doing to fluid level check at the end? Will the leveling of my 4runner mess anything up?
