    Shrockworks Sliders on 4th gen with XREAS

    Maybe the X-REAS wasn't working on my 20k mile Sport when I ripped it off, but I think it handles way better with the OME suspension and SpiderTrax giving it a wider track. This info doesn't help you but just thought I'd throw it out there. I'm not running the front sway bar either and It...

    CV joint housing

    MMMMMMMM bigger pry bar. :biggrin2: I'll be doing this job very soon, I will make sure my 4 footer is within reach. The "popping" suggestion seems to work more of the time than the constant pressure approach, think impact gun versus wrench on nut. I usually start with lighter persuasion...

    265 or 285 with cornfed 3/2 lift ... looking for pics

    Alex, that looks really nice. I now know I'm going to replace my 265/70 Cooper stt's with a 285. I've been looking at a lot of tires but keep coming back to those, my wife's vote is for the Coopers as well. Regardless, I'm going 285.

    $46 CV Axles from RockAuto?

    Cool, thanks for the replies. Sounds like I'll be ordering these tomorrow. It just seem like $46 was low, but that is low enough to give em a try.

    $46 CV Axles from RockAuto?

    I'm gonna give em a whirl and put different clamps on before install. $46 buck each ain't bad.

    Is the 285 really worth the hit in mpgs, opposed to the 275?

    I have 265/70-17 Cooper STT on mine right now, and 285/65-16 my Suburban, and have nothing but good things to say about them. I lost 2 maybe 3 mpg with these tires but I never worry about road conditions and they just don't seem to slice up when in the rocks out in Colorado. I have neglected...

    Anything about your 4R that just drives you crazy?????

    No decent interior light switch and non-roll up window from remote is irritating. Our windshield has been cracked along the bottom since just after we took ownership and promptly drove it to Colorado to visit friends but now it is really hard to get clean so it's going in for a new windshield...

    $46 CV Axles from RockAuto?

    Yeah, no cracks that I can see in the boots. I'm just not sure how long this has been going on, concerned with amount/contamination of remaining grease in there. At $95-$100 a piece it's not that expensive and I'd feel good knowing there are new ones in there on our road trips. This is my...

    $46 CV Axles from RockAuto?

    Just like the title says I see that RockAuto has the Cardone axles new, not reman, for $46 no core but the EMPI's are $92 and the reman Cardone's are $97. What am I missing, this looks wrong. Why only $46? Has any one used the Cardone axles? Any good or junk? I have OME lift with front diff...

    Tire deal for Wisconsin area folks.

    Right on Alex, this is my second set on the 4Runner and I run some 285/65-16's on my old 3/4 ton Suburban as well. The next tire size for the Burb is going to be either 35 or 37's after a whopping 3" to no more than 4" of lift. Shackle flip in the rear with new springs up front.

    Tire deal for Wisconsin area folks.

    Left Farm N Fleet earlier today to wait till Thursday to get some new tires levered on when they will have the Cooper Discoverer STT's buy 3 get one free. I'm replacing my first pair after 50k miles of neglect and carelessness. These tires took me through a lot of deep snow and over some slick...
