    Transfer case leaking from FIPG

    Has anybody dealt with this before? Looks like the very bottom of my TC has a leak where the two sides meet and the red FIPG sticks out. It's torn off in a few places and i believe that's where I'm leaking from. I cleaned everything down good to make sure it isn't the output... What's the best...

    Best clear corners

    Sorry to revive an old thread-- is the life time warranty still a thing, because I ordered a pair of clear corners/turn signals from you last year and one of my turn signals is clearly letting moisture in every time it rains.

    Stud broke off frame-- steering rack bolt

    Done Updating this with our methodology for any future readers -- Flemster, looks like you broke off both the top and bottom nuts? In this case the top one was fine. So we took some inspiration from yours but didn't form a U bracket. There's a flimsy metal plate covering the area needed to...

    Stud broke off frame-- steering rack bolt

    Update As far as root cause -- I definitely did install that bracket upside down. I torqued to spec, but yep-- the taller part that should have been there went up top and the 1" shorter side went on the bottom. While I did torque to spec I'm sure this is part of the problem.. coupled with the...

    Stud broke off frame-- steering rack bolt

    So the PO Has clearly either replaced the rack or bushings before. I noticed when removing that the nut was totally threaded. So I ordered a new one before reattaching. Was using a deep socket and CDI torque wrench, wasn't even halfway to the bracket when it snapped. I think despite the new nut...

    Stud broke off frame-- steering rack bolt

    Never a dull moment ... Final steps of replacing steering rack and bushings. D-bushing bracket has two bolts, top one bolts in to the frame, bottom is a stud that you thread a nut onto. Well while torquing said nut to spec.... Snap. The bolt breaks loose. Can't find any threads with this...

    02 sensor replacement???

    Question -- is yours an auto or a manual transmission? the 234-9003 is for the 5spd, correct? Are the plugs different at all between the auto/5spd or just the wire length? Mine is an auto to 5spd swap, now that the O2 sensors are bad I'm curious if i need to stick with auto plugs or go with...

    Rhino Rack pioneer platform

    Check this out --- Rhino Rack Installed on 3rd Gen 4runner | Rising Sun 4WD Club of Colorado Finally found someone who did it! I'm not sold if I want to go this route. Love the lopro, but it almost seems a tad wider than the roof itself?
