Thanks! It's not as much that the rears are that difficult, it's just that I do drum brakes so seldom that I have to remember how to do it each time. Sure I'll forget all the tricks by the next time I have to do a set.....

Replaced the door switch on my rear passenger door. Seemed like that was invariably the door I needed to get something out of if it was really dark. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Finally got the rear brakes finished on my '01! Started because I had a cylinder that had burped fluid a couple of times under hard braking. After replacing the cylinder and shoes, I noticed the drums were a little over dimension, so I replaced them as well. After putting it together I thought I...

sounds a lot like the one I picked up. Have any photos?

Just one quick addition today.... Sent from my moto x4 using Tapatalk

Changed the oil, front diff, and transfer case fluids. Rear diff bolt will have to soak awhile before it will come loose.....

Thanks so much for taking the time to write this up! I just finished the repair on my 2001 and it works perfectly, and was quite simple with your guide. Purchased this part off of ebay...

I used this thread http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/84402-my-2003-4runner-intermittent-wiper-switch-repair.html and this part https://www.ebay.com/itm/1pcs-ORIGINAL-CQ1-12V-Power-Relay-Automative-Relay-20A-12VDC-5-Pins-NEW-/253270040968?hash=item3af8122188 to fix the interval wipers on...
