I bought the walker cats and they bolted right up on my rig. Walker 53616 & 52399. Amazon’s part finder says they don’t fit so you have to use Walker’s part finder. I installed the whole Walker system plus Denso sensors back in 2017 and they’re still going. Be sure to spay the walker parts with...

Took The family on a trip through the Ozark National Forest in NW Arkansas.

I’ve only driven it twice to work so far (24 miles one way), it doesn’t seem to want to roll as much in the corners and on/off ramps at speed. A few of the OEM mounts were cracked pretty good and weren’t doing their job anymore. The new mounts also brought the left rear up about an 1/8’’ and...

Capped off the week with new tires after installing Energy Suspension body mounts, rear sway bar bushings, and an OME 10mm coil spring trim packer in the left rear. Overall with all the work the side to side is within 1/2’’ of each other now with just under 1/2’’ rake rear to front. That and...

I hear ya. Don’t think he went to that extent. It’s definitely cleaner than it was, there’s still some loose pieces. My frame/undercarriage is due for another good inspection, wire brush and reseal anyways. Starting to see a lot of surface rust pop back up in the rear.

They aren’t the best pics but I’ve seen worse. I’d get some pictures of the frame around the rear control arm mounts and next to the muffler, and a good shot of the rear to make a better determination. If you do a quick search of the forum you’ll see some of the rust restoration projects others...

It was a local all around repair/maintenance shop here in central Arkansas, but they also specialize in 4x4s and custom crawlers by the looks of the yard. Was recommended by an off road tire/parts shop in the area. When I talked with them initially the service guy brought up that they build and...

Just got my ride back from the shop, guys did an outstanding job fixing up my frame. Just breathed new life into this baby!

Out with the old and in with the new!

The more I dig into old threads the more problems I find to fix on my T4R! Ha. Here I’ve been driving around for 4 years just thinking my VSC was a little sensitive, kicking on taking tight turns, hard accelerations into traffic (which is kind of scary when you lose power to your wheels and...

Sorry to revive this thread, happened to stumble upon it and couldn’t resist. I ran into same issue over the winter, passenger side OEM valve cover cracked from over tightening the back corner and started leaking on the exhaust manifold. Was in a hurry to fix so I ordered the Dorman cover. Got...

I got turned onto Corroseal doing a ‘72 Chevy truck resto back in high school and was my first choice when I did my underbody. Love the stuff!

I have a can or rustoleum semi-gloss on hand to touch up spots that start to show through. It might stand out at first but once you get road spray and mud on it it all looks the same. I actually liked the look of the semi-gloss when I did the whole underside a couple years back to slow the rust...

I have an ‘02 with close to 190k on it now that started to throw a code a couple years back, I switched out to Maxlife Synthetic ATF and did a sequence of 2-3 drain/fills over a month and replaced the filter and it cleared it up. Been changing the filter on it once a year since then and it’s...

Finally got those lower ball joints replaced with the help of two toddlers and my trumpbucks impact wrench. That and a 16lb sledge hammer. Man there was a lot of rust on those things. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
