I just did this tundra brake upgrade with these rims. Yes, they do not fit but no grinding was necessary as I went to auto zone and picked up a set of universal wheel spacers for under $20. All came together well without having to grind the rims.

Great help! thanks

So I bought my 4r last year to convert as a hunting ride, I instantly new I needed new brakes due to the shaking. I would like to do the Tundra swap in the front but my rear brakes do not work as they stay engaged until they wear down. What should I do about replacing rear brakes?

well, u joints for advanced auto wont fit. will call high angle in the morning

well just ordered center bearing ball from Rockford drive line. Comes in two sizes so ordered both for around $60 and will return the wrong one once I get it sized up. Guy at Rockford said to much play if eliminated the center bearing ball. Hope this works.

called them both, cruiser outfitters doesn't have it and high angle wants to rebuild. Going to keep looking. Any experience with eliminating the center bearing and just using u joints?

Thats it. great post, thanks for the help. Now to find parts and rebuild uuuggghhh

found it, it is the center bearing.

I have a 2000 sr5 4x4 that has developed a vibration around 45mph. Started looking around and notice my drive shaft u joint nearest the transmission was the culprit. As I dug deeper I now believe its some type of bearing in the drive shaft. Need to replace if possible but don't know what it is...

your driver side lock is just worn down from usage compared to your passenger side which hardly ever gets used. That is why a worn key should work on drivers lock and ignition. The new key will eventually work just needs to be worn down a bit, try sanding it a bit and keep trying, worked for me.

Its the other insurance companies job to screw you, don't take the settlement! I would refuse and ask for mediation. You could also put a claim in with your insurance and they will go after the other insurance company. Again dont settle especially if you did nothing wrong

I leave it on the dash as I ran several antennas which went bad and a pita to replace.

not my style but great work. Wish I had skills like that.

you guys are the sh!t. Thanks
