    Brake bleeding w/ABS w/o the SST tool? ...

    I wonder if it is possible to just change out the complete master cylinder assembly and go to a vacuum based assembly. Sure you wouldn't have abs anymore but what are the other problems one might encounter.

    2003 4runner v8 brakes/MC issue

    Does anyone know of a scan tool you can buy that will do the brake bleeding procedure that is not the full blown TIS?

    Stuck Brake Piston

    I have to agree that the calipers are the weak link in our vehicles. It is well documented on here already. I replaced all my calipers and rotors at 103,000. At least they are under life time warranties so its just my labor that I'm out if I have any problems. The passenger rear caliper I've...

    Back Woods WV

    I have updated a few things since my last post. I installed a full set of RCI skids and tinted the front windows. Below are some pics from a recent drive along the New River from Bull Falls WV to Glen Lynn VA. Bull Falls: Along the way to VA:

    Moog fj spring issue?

    The Moog rear FJ springs I tried to pout on this past week would not fit. The bottom coil is wound too tight. They sit just as shown in the picture above. I cleaned the bottom pad of all crud and even ground some away. I applied grease to the pad and ground off all the paint and as much metal...

    Vibration Noises after RCI Install

    I had to space my front skid down 1/4" Front and rear to keep it from touching the front diff. You may need to do the same but at the rear. There are slight variations in each vehicle so just find your interfearance and add some space. I just used some stainless washers and taped them together...

    2004 Limited timing belt question

    I did my 2003 belt and pump last November with 102,000 miles on it. The timing belt was still in good shape as far as the rubber with no cracking or other signs of problems. It was slightly stretched. I think you would be fine running it for a few more years or until you get to around 100k...

    Frozen Calipers - How many others had this problem?

    Did both front rotors/calipers due to stuck calipers last week. Both rears were done 3weeks ago due to just a burning smell. No stuck calipers on the rear and now the burning smell is back. It seems like the rears are doing too much of the work. The fronts barely get warm and the rear rotors...

    Lift and Tire Central (pics)... Post 'em Up!

    That is what I was hoping. I have 2" front and no rear lift and would like to run this tire size on stock rims. I like the lift I have now nice and level but would like to gain a little ground clearance. Thanks !
