    4th Gen specific for sale thread

    I completed a 5th gen brake upgrade on my 4th gen and they preform great. I went to do this to my dad's 2nd gen Tacoma, and being the complete idiot that I am realized he had 16 inch wheels after the fact. That being said, if anyone is interested in OEM brake rotors, calipers, and pads all...

    Cooper Discoverer AT3 vs Highway A/S?

    Hmmm. Totally different experience. I'm on my second set of AT3's. They are the best tire I've ever had. Been through Michelins, K02's (horrible) and had Nitto Terras (not great). The AT3's are great in all conditions. They're a little louder than michelins but not really that much. The AT3's...

    Shift actuator and transfer case timing

    Super old, but maybe one of you can help me. I need to activate my center diff lock. I don't care about the buttons or the lights working, I honestly have already unplugged the 4wd ecu. My goal is to manually activate the center diff lock by moving the shifter/shaft, and then putting the...

    A-Ha's Build.

    Just now seeing this. Have most of the parts in my garage, just waiting for some time off of work and good weather. Good to know that you don't need to cut the oil pan with the 1-inch diff drop. Is the clearance tight with the 1 inch diff drop still? I assume you went with a Tacoma...

    P1782 Truck Thinks It's In 4LO, but it's in 4HI

    Well I haven't had much time to work on the 4runner with clean up efforts from Hurricane Dorian and work. For anyone else that ever experiences this issue, I've discovered that disconnecting the two harnesses for the 4wd computer located under the glovebox, will let your truck drive using...

    P1782 Truck Thinks It's In 4LO, but it's in 4HI

    The actuator and wiring didn't have any damage, as that was one thing I did check as i slammed down on some rocks. The RCI skids did a good job there. I didn't unplug the 12 wire connector, but I will give that a try, and thank you for the suggestion and for the diagram! It might be a day or...

    A-Ha's Build.

    I know you've sold your truck, but I had a question about your FJ cruiser transfer case swap. On RockSolidToys I saw that they highly recommend purchasing and using a front differential out of a FJ or Tacoma, that has the ADD. I didn't see anywhere in your build that you purchased this or...

    P1782 Truck Thinks It's In 4LO, but it's in 4HI

    Hi folks, I've read threads of people having the P1782 issue, but I think my issue is a little different. I took a labor day trip and we hit some off road trails, went through some mud, rocks, ect. Nothing out of the usual for this truck. I ran all of this while in 4LO. After the trail turned...

    Re-doing most of front end - anything I'm missing?

    You can order wheel bearing assemblies for 155 from Marion bumper 2 bumper auto. Just got some about 3 months ago and he offers OEM hub/bearing assemblies. Sometimes the shipping takes a while from him, but it's a very good quality product.

    Synthetic oil: how long do you go between changes?

    Synthetic oil: how long do you go between changes?

    I'm really not telling anyone to follow my oil change regiment at all. Everyone is unique. This thread stated to post your oil change interval...exactly what I did. Oil has gotten superiorly better over the years. Using full synthetic and doing oil changes every 5k is overkill to me. When Toyota...
