Thanks for the info, I will look into those. However, the reason I want to use the anchors is because the seats will sit in closer to the center of the vehicle. My wife and i feel that this is safer because it is further from the door. Right now she drives the Xterra with the kids because it has...

I have an '01 that does not have the built-in child seat anchors in the back seat, so I have to use the seat belts. So, I have 2 questions. Does the rear seat in an '02 have the built-in anchors, and is it a direct swap? Thanks.

Thanks for the input guys. When I say I'm on a budget, I'm talking like bottle return budget. I agree that it's better and cheaper in the long run to do it right the first time, but it simply is not in the cards right now. What about swapping in rear springs from something else like an older...

I recently swapped vehicles with my wife, and I'm now driving an '01 sr5 4x4. I just put a set of 31s on it and I'd like to do something about the suspension. I know that the newer 3rd gens sit lower from the factory, but this thing is ridiculous. The ass-end is about 1" lower than the front and...

I posted here a while ago because my wife has owned an '01 sr5 4x4 for 4 years now, which just rolled over 96k miles today. Well, she recently decided that the kid's car seats fit more safely in my Xterra so she took that and I'm now rockin' the 'Runner. I don't have the budget to really do much...

Did you buy from a stealership or private?

Multi-mode T-case if you don't already have one.

The Falken Wild Peak/Rocky Mountain A/T is supposed to be a fantastic A/T tire at a very reasonable price. It is supposed to excel at just about everything but deep mud. Rated higher than the BFG A/T, and much cheaper. I will likely be putting these on my 4Runner.

Impact gun.

What size are those tires? I have an '01 SR5 that needs new treads and I am torn between 30x9.5 and 31x10.5. Stock are 235/75r15.

I puchased a kit from Amazon for my Xterra. It's the same distributor that sells this kit. The company is called "Timing Belt Kit" and they have a website with more info if you'd like to take a look. Antway, all the parts that I received for the X seemed to be of OEM quality and I had no issues...

You're better off getting wheels with less back spacing than using spacers. I believe spacers usually don't exceed 1", and I wouldn't use any that did. Regardless of which method you use to get a wider stance, the further out you go from your ball joints drawing a center line through your tire...

I'd count myself lucky if I were you. I can't stand that traction control crap. I know how to drive in low-traction situations and don't need the vehicle fighting me. It has almost caused numerous accidents when I have purposely put the vehicle sideways or spun the tires, only to lose power and...

My brother bought his '99 Jeep TJ in '06 or '07 with 7k miles on it. The Jeep belonged to a CEO or something who went out for groceries one day and came home with a Jeep. lol. It had been driven to Canada and back a couple times by the guy's assistant, and around town occasionally. It had been...

Soak repeatedly with PB Blaster for a few days. If that doesn't work, cut/drill.
