We wheel in the kentucky area quite a bit. There are some other harder trails I want to get on as well as some over landing and road trips out west to Moab are ideal. Along with this is the rust issue as well as lockers and other add on's that I would be needing to accomplish these goals.

I know about the angle of the car's with the 3" (give or take) loft and the diff drop, but the 5" had me curious. That's some serious weight to haul around. If not that, then I suppose SAS the front and potentially run those sam springs on all 4 corners? I've contemplated an SAS already, but...

Sorry about that, I was multitasking, but yes you are correct and I swapped the fronts and rears in my head when typing. So let's swap it around and now ask the question of what is used to level the front for 5" of lift if the 9 wraps are used in the rear? Again, sorry about the mix up.

Currently running OME 891(?) Springs on Bilstein 5100's. Wanting to get a lil more aggressive on the trails though. My questions are if you are running 9 wraps up front, are you really getting 5" of lift? What is your front setup? What are you running in the rear to level out? I'm running FJ...

Sounds like you didnt take all the bolts out first and by doing this one last it is wedge in?

Well, took her out for a drive today. About 2-3 miles in, had to stop at UPS. Came out of the store and noticed something dripping on the passenger side... antifreeze. A good amount too for as little as I drove. Maybe 6 ounces? Anyway. Drove straight back home and took a look underneath and saw...

Found a great deal on the bumper but no hardware for the install on my 99 t4r. Called ARB and that's a no go. Called s local dealer, no help either. Honestly could just use the brackets, but not trying to pay $400 for a kit I'll only use bits and pieces of. Anyone have a lead?

Sorry for the delay in responding, lots of people leaving at work, so we are a little thin. Not seeing any white smoke on start up. What it turned out to be was little to no antifreeze. Bought this from a guy who said it just had the head gaskets replaced. Not sure I buy that now. No...

I haven't checked with it just sitting yet, but not under load and was at highway speed around 60 and was watching the stock temp gauge. I'll check tonight and see if it overheats while at idle. I did notice that at one point, I let off the throttle and the temp went down, so take that for it's...

'99 SR5 here... 245k on the clock. Swapped out the auto trans solenoids the other week and now the truck is overheating. I find it strange that right after I swap these it starts to overheat when it never has before. The plan, since it is new to me, is that I'm going to end up swapping the...

On my 4th 'runner now (92, 98, 02) and picked up a '99 automatic with 263k for $2500. It's an SR5 with the J hook 4x4, but it's the blue color that is so hard to find. I looked at a blue Sport Edition, but it was scratched up pretty bad and already starting to rust. They wanted $4500 for it, so...

This is what was explained to me at the shop that did the original work. I had the rear gasket and the output shaft seal replaced prior. Drove it to the GF's house, but every gear was shifting hard (never had this issue before the shop had it). The next day when I go to return the rental, 5...

So the other week, the seal on my 3rd member went out as well as the trans case output shaft seal. Talk about the suck. Anyway... after that $900 (I was out of town), 20 miles later, I notice smoke under the hood an pulled over. I was 5 miles into this drive and had fluid POURING on the ground...

Update.... reseated the ABS speed sensor and this fixed the issue. Appreciate the ideas and help guys. Love this board for the tech help.

This sounds logical... I seated the sensor in as best as I could and then started the screw and finished it that way. I guess I'll back that screw out and reset that sensor all the way in as best I can before setting the screw. I'll check the sensor and make sure it isn't dirty either (unlikely...
