    Tow shackles universal?

    There is a buddy who makes mounts that replace the front tow hook mounts for use with 3/4" shackles. For the rear you could pick up a tow bar with a mount for a 3/4 shackle, its not as ideal as having two different pull points but its the simplest way to have a sturdy recovery point without...

    Anyone use cheap valve cover gaskets from e-Bay?

    Look at the shipping price to Canada, you'll change your mind quickly. :lol: I suggest doing a Rock Auto order and picking up some other maintenance goodies at the same time. Belts, aisin water pump, oil seals/filters, etc etc.

    Do 4runners just pull to the right?

    All highways are naturally sloped slightly to the right so that there's is more of a tendency for the vehicle to go into the ditch rather than oncoming traffic if someone falls asleep or stops paying attention. This might be what you're feeling.

    10 mpg

    I hope you mean 245/75R16. Also your more recent low mileage is likely a result of how rich the engine runs coming upto temperature combined with short stop and start distances. However even with that your mileage figures are absolutely absurd, something is wrong or out of place.

    Help 35's on 15.5" rims rub on Calipers

    Thats not something we can really just tell you based on that. Does it rub on the spokes? Then yes spacers should work Does it rub on the inside circumference of the rim? Depends on how the rim is shaped on the inside and how far it needs to move.

    Anyone here know how to do a deck plate mod

    There's a youtube walk through as the 3rd result. Your counter argument is invalid.

    Built my own "Artic Truck" fender flares

    Something needs to be done about that trailer hitch. Totally kills the vibe. I've heard of people flipping the brackets or something along that line as yours looks to be the OEM. Perhaps something with the tail pipe as well, though I'm not sure what.

    99 turbo runner

    Beautiful craftsmanship. I hope you have a blanket on that and have the pipes wrapped with it being so close to the intake piping.

    Built my own "Artic Truck" fender flares

    Very nice fab skills on the rear bumper as well. Is that wrinkle black paint? I'm surprised you didn't weld on anything for shackle points. I don't have a problem with the way the hood looks, it just bugs me that its just a non functional stick on deal.

    Alternator charging post snapped(hopefully that is the right name.)

    I ghetto rig option would be taking the end off the wire, worm clamping it to the broken post. Its not pretty or long term but it could do until you can replace it properly.

    Rolling Rub

    Check your brake dust/backing plates. I've seen them rust off before and drag on the rotors/drums intermittently. Other than that check the drive shaft areas to see if there is a heat shield hanging loose and possibly making contact. Does the sound seem to decrease or increase when turning one...
