4th gen 4unner, V8. I have a broken rear diff. I haven't opened and removed the 3rd yet to see the specifics. I can move it around in the lot, under front wheel drive power the rear clunks, and clicks, clangs, bangs. This is what I'm thinking, I think I can, need some confirmation or if I...

Thanks. Link on first post fixed. Yes people on there should be able to guide you to some interesting places. A full calander is already setup to members if you decide to sign up.

Is this the part 51021B linked below? Frame. Fits: 2003 Toyota 4Runner | Toyota Parts Direct I know 2 persons who bought that section from Toyota and then had the old frame section cut off and new piece welded back in. It wasn't easy, and the whole ordeal wasn't cheap either. But that's an...

You may need to look into this a little more to make sure, but I recall the originals being half Denso and half NGK. Weird I know.

Before anyone spends money on new cats, which also means replacing the exhaust manifold.......for 700$ or more each..!!! Try this. At the end of the cat converter pipe is a flange that joins to another pipe. This joint has a gasket. If there is a leak it can cause the P0430, you might not even...

Yup. That's the best way to do it, remove, solid pinion spacer and reset.

The ARB locker in my 1st gen and my 4th Gen V8 is an RD132. Are going to get just the locker or the 3rd already fit with the locker? -The older trucks are most likely 4:10 or 4:88 diff gear ratios, and the 4th gen is 3:73 -I think the 3rd could bolt up right onto a 4th gen, but not 100%...

Having 2 dual locked trucks...my winches have been more valuable. Stuckage does not only occur on hardcore trails. Sometimes it's just on a simple grassy or a dirt road after a rain and maybe covered in autum leaves where there is lack of traction. Exact situation I experienced this past...

Everyone's view off "offroading" is different. So offroad capable is subjective. At first I want to tell you get rock sliders, skid plates, winch, big tires...but that's for my version of offroading. My 4th gen has been pretty reliable. and the guys I know with a 5th gen have been pretty...

That's correct, it did. But it's a discontinued vehicle. :flipoff: LOL.... :cheers:

I'm not sure the FJ is that much more capable than a TE. I think what was novel about the FJ was that it had the option of a rear elocker where a 4th gen 4runner did not until the TE of 2009 and the 5th gen TE. But this is another debate. Before you settle on a suspension think about if you...

If you don't need snow/ice traction and stopping performance on cold icy conditions and like Goodyear the MTR are made in the 275/70/18 size. Many of my buddies swear by the Duratrac even in the winter. I have not needed the BMC with 285/70/17, 33/12.5/17 or 255/80/17. If anything you may rub...

I've used a Jack-Mate from Hi-Lift jacks very successfully. The rubber coating does not scratch the wheels, but the offroading does so.....moot point really. I like the jack mate because it lifts the entire wheel so you can stuff some rocks or wood under to get the clearance needed for the...

Why not get a rear bumper: My options like yours were pretty limited. Shipping to Montreal is outrageous. It also adds more weight and I'd need to upgrade my springs again. Why get a rear bumper: My biggest reason for wanting to get a rear bumper is a place to keep the spare. I keep mine in...

After all these years I'm hating my front plastic bumper. This one might even be nicer than the demello. But 3-6 month lead time!?
