This post as well as this recent video post on youtube helped with the install of the new assembly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCbXOUcRBLs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkiSgype2Qk Took me about 6 hours as the stud that holds the plastic cover on the timing belt threaded off instead...

Ride is amazing versus the 100k mile old stock xreas. When I get the armor after a few paychecks I'll probably make sure it's a little more level than it is now. Otherwise I'm very happy with it. Start to a long project.

2007 se ome bp-51 Slee Offroad OME BP-51 install. Appx 2.5-3 in the rear and about 2.5 in the front. Toyota TRD Pro Matte Black Wheels with BFG 275-70/17 tires. Minor rubbing on full lock with the mudflaps. Will remove them soon.

Great writeup. Especially warthogs post #39 on page three. Exactly what I needed to get parts wise on my fluid flush and pan cleaning. I had a 2007 sport AWD with just over 101k miles. From what I can tell the one owner in denver before me gave it an easy commuter life so no towing. Clearly had...

Kliv great product. Just bought an 07 v8 AWD sport edition and wanted to try and get a unit before the holiday in Russia. I’ll be awaiting a pm. Much thanks!

Gents... the day has finally come, I am ditching my 2014 tundra crewmax 4wd and going back to the best vehicle I ever owned...4gen t4r. Except this time I'm wanting an upgrade to a V8! ZOOM ZOOM oh wait that's some other brand PM me. southern rigs preferably (no rust) low miles preferably under...

Shimmy gotcha So does the 4runner make any weird noises or shift really hard when speeding up or slowing down at any rate? so far it sounds like a out of balance tire maybe in the rear or could be from a bent rear rim I guess. you'll have to check and see. How about hesitation in shifting? or...

highway shimmy I just put a post on this, but I assure you you can usually fix the probelm with either tires, balancing, alignment, brake rotors or all of the above, sometimes it can even be loose tire rod ends, or ball joints.. How may miles are on your 4runner? also did it just show up out of...

!!!new tires!!! Well... luckily my $1,216.53 investment earlier today paid off... new shoes for the T4R and no more pull and tire shimmy... thank god! I put on a 5 new Falken rocky mountain ATS 2's 10 plys. I think they look pretty nice, definitely ride better then the last set of shoes that...

Exhaust manifold... Oljedi, Thanks to this post I thought I would never get these for less then 500 bucks each... I tried amazon and looked up pacesetter... well I was able to go ahead and buy the driver side now passenger side will have to wait... for some reason they were on sale for 182$...

New Buy Scirocco84, If I'm not mistaken... the 3rd gen is the 4runner with the bad frames from Dana Corp. so if it has been in the rust belt states or above that line for more then a year or two of its life then walk away and never look back. I made that very mistake and bought a rust...

well if they find that the wheels arent bent then I will definitely be willing to pay that if it might fix the annoying shimmy. I hear it from a lot of people that the machine really is a nice useful piece of equipment.... Ill let yall know what happens. Thanks for the info...

damn well ill ask them to check for bent rims... I feel like that is very unlikely considering this 4runner I bought was very well taken care.. but you never know, does it cost extra to road force balance at discount? I thought that was their standard procedure for balancing....????

ditto cdrew... it could give me a little inspiration for my 4runner

yea im gunna take them to discount, I've had somewhat acceptable experiences over the years... Im gunna ask them if I can watch as you did.. that way I can narrow that out of the loop....
