This ^^ Do you have a washer on either side of the banjo fitting? Refer to pic #3 here: Rear brakes - I don't recommend aftermarket banjo bolts.

I wrote my above post without seeing your comment - check it out, you should be able to find what you need between the two setups. (seems reddit post was updated after your post here, with measurements and parts)

Looks fantastic! Really similar to mine here: https://www.toyota-4runner.org/3901312-post1279.html, though you've got nicer wheels and the fancier struts. If anyone wants to see results that maintain some of the stock rake, they can compare my setup to yours. Your front axle to fender was 22...

A bicycle brake cable was my approach: thin, bendy, but firm enough to push out any debris, and plenty long. Just work it in from the top at the sunroof drains like you'd work a drain auger to clean out plumbing. Flush it with water, go at it again. Fixed my passenger clog, and did the...

This happened on V8 - my mechanic taped off the valve train and drilled out all 4 (maybe 5?) lower bolts on both sides. Had to remove the motor mounts and lift the engine in order to get the proper angle to drill, using a right angle drill to deal with lack of space... All the creative ways to...

I assume you're looking to drop in a sub and utilize the existing amp, touching nothing else. In which case the below info isn't helpful, but since I typed it up before realizing what you're trying to do, I'll post because maybe it helps someone else. EDIT: Just confirmed I did a JL Audio...

Yes, if I remember right it just worked, nothing special to do

Had mine over 8 years now, and as I'll likely have to replace the battery soon, your post spurred me to spend 10 minutes poking and prodding with a couple small screwdrivers. Haven't figured out how to pop this apart without completely destroying it. Anyone know the secret here? I...

I replaced the headers on my V8 with Doug Thorleys and had the issue. Turned out that where the driver's side SAIS tube on the header bolts to the upstream system had a leak. This connection is always under exhaust pressure, as it's downstream of the valve that opens and closes. Seems that...

For what it's worth I installed 2nd gen links on the rear after my mild lift. MEVOTECH MS86809

No spacers. First pic was under 500 miles. 2nd pic around 3000.

For what it's worth, here's a couple pics of my V8 with the following Front Springs: C59-302 - V8 - Stock front end load, 2" lift. Front Shocks: GS59-221 Rear Springs: C59-505 - Stock rear end load, 1.5" lift. Rear Shocks: GS59-705 - Twin Tube, suits 0-2.5" lift Also put Freedom Offroad UCAs...

I think a build writeup on a 4th gen frame to 5th gen frame swap has the makings of a legendary thread. We're at the point in the life of the 4th gens that some of these are going to junkyards just for frame rot.... even if the mechanics/body are fine EDIT: Are you telling me that in this...

EDIT: Below applies to the V8, where the end of the valve cover bolts are exposed from the underside, where corrosion happens. Not sure if the V6 is the same design (I hope not) Hate to say that I just went through this 2 months back and it was not a smooth job, with a truck that's spent the...

Stick with the lead acid battery, not the AGM. Unless you're willing to do a diode mod
