trying to keep the ride as original as possible.

I've decided not to proceed with the Tundra brake upgrade, so my loss is your gain. Full front set, all-new genuine Toyota: 04945-35120, Disc Brake Shim Kit 04465-35290, Disc Brake Pad 43512-0C011, Disc Brake Selling at same price I bought it for - $240 FIRM Located in San Jose, CA. Local...

I drove my IS350 for the last 5 years before I traded cars with my dad. I needed something with beefier tires since my fiance and I have been doing a lot of camping trips.

After several attempts of finding the root cause, I've pinpointed it to the rear spider bearing on the driveshaft. Turns out, the bearing was cracked which caused my vibration problem. Went to O'reillys and picked up a universal bearing and the issue is gone!

Just wanted to say thanks to Tim and Crew for putting out these videos!! Finally tackled my transmission drain and fill last weekend. Followed the video to a tee down to the bucket. All in all, one of the most satisfying jobs I've done on the Runner since inheriting it from my dad...

I just did my rear diff a few weeks ago. I'll update this post when I get home. Edit: Rear diff fill plug: 90341-18006 Rear diff drain plug: 90341-18057 Rear diff crush washer: 12157-10010 (you'll want 2x for both filler and drain plugs)

So I finally got around to doing a drain/fill of my ATF and only 2 quarts came out. I was under the impression that at least 4 quarts were supposed to come out based on other threads I've read here and DIY videos on youtube. On the bright side, the hard shift from 1st gear to 2nd disappeared...

I'm going through something similar myself. I just got my rear diff drain plug out. First time being change in 15 years. My dad never had it done. aftermath So glad I did this today. Rides a lot smoother. Vibration has nearly disappeared. Next up are my front diff, transfer case, ATF, and...

Used PB plaster for both nuts and the fill plug came right off. Piece of cake. Drain plug, on the other hand... not so much. I soaked it with more PB and will try again this weekend. This was at the Pit Row in Santa Clara, CA. It's DIY garage where you can rent their lifts and tools at an...

tried working on draining the motor oil and rear diff tonight. failed miserably. couldn't even get started on the rear. nearly stripped the bolt due to using a 12 point socket. almost seemed like it was made of soft metal. anyways, lesson learned. just gonna chalk it up to experience. i'm going...

oh dang. that sucks. good luck with your search! i'm still trying to hunt mine. it's hard because it comes and goes. makes me think it's not even worth fixing.

Another member PM'd me last night and said this: "I have owned my truck since 2003 (30k) and had the same vibration that you did as those speeds. Didn't bother me too much cause I didn't drive it on the highway too often at that speed range. This past May when I got new tires, I remembered to...

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but I also have the same issue as OP and yours. 2002 2WD, bone stock. Vibration starts right around 65mph then goes away past 72mph. I'll be draining and filling my diff fluids as well as ATF and power steering this weekend... hoping it all goes away. If not...

based on my initial reading, it may not even be worth it. but here's the post that made me put it on my list. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/106636-rear-disk-brake-conversion-pt-1-a.html https://www.yotatech.com/f116/rear-disc-brake-conversion-writeup-121582/

i've got a 2002 2wd with 202k miles on it and my brother-in-law just taught me how to do my front rotors and pads yesterday. i'm considering doing the tundra upgrade now. i'm also looking into doing the following myself, but if you'd like to make vids out of any of them i'm willing to...
