So how much would this run me?

I just bought this truck not sure if/when the clutch was last done. I definitely made some mistakes when buying this and should’ve dig deeper into the transmission.

I was driving today and heading up a hill (already doin like 35/40) I added some throttle to get it up the hill in 4th but I was still slowing down so I downshifted figuring I guess I need a bit more. Get into third up to about 3k it pulls and then nothing… revs climb but no acceleration. I...

Any recommendations for getting the rear shocks out from the top mount. It’s nearly impossible to get at. Is there an interior access panel or something I don’t know about???

Bought a brand new cat cause mine sheared off but I bought the special emissions one on accident. Certain vehicles I believe sold in CA, NY and a few other states had a cat with a different flange. See in the picture. I’ll pay shipping as long as it’s not too far or will meet within reasonable...

this is probably what I'll end up doing. I have a buddy that can weld really well it's just a matter of how far we gotta go to find good steel to weld to. I definitely should've checked the whole frame before buying. It's great up until the rear suspension... ya live and you learn.

I figured they bolted in where the original bumper bolted in which is a little further up on the frame. I guess I'm stuck working with what I've got.

I'm looking for a rear bumper with a trailer hitch. I'm tight on budget so affordability is key. I'm not towing anything heavy just a little U-Haul trailer but the rear part of my frame where a trailer hitch would go isn't in ideal shape for towing so I'm looking for a bumper kit. I know...

I know this has been asked a million times but I can’t find an answer right now and my car needs to pass inspection soon. How do you get LED blinkers not to hyper flash. I’m assuming it’s a resistance thing does anyone know if you can just put a resistor in the circuit to trick it what Ohm?

I ended up sticking with the singles I ordered. I can’t imagine that with modern Iridium plugs compared to the old 90s plugs the mileage is gonna be dramatically lessens by single grounds.

Toyota recommends double grounded but is it really that important? I already ordered NGK Iridium 5464 spark plugs (single ground), is it worth returning and getting double grounded ones?

Where did you find OEM springs that cheap, I'm looking at $625 for all four springs from my nearest dealership? And where did you buy the Bilstiens from I found 4600s on shock surplus @ $333 for all four.

Honestly, right now I'm keeping it mostly stock. I just need a reliable truck to get me to college and back and haul my stuff and friends around.

I just posted a near-identical thread asking basically the same thing. I found this full kit for cheap from TRQ 1996-02 Toyota 4Runner 16 Piece Steering & Suspension Kit TRQ PSA59936 but it almost seems too cheap to be reliable. Do you have a link to where I could find the OEM parts?

So I just bought a 1999 4Runner and it needs some suspension work. I found a 16 Piece kit on 1AAuto. It's from TRQ. I'm just concerned because it's $358.95 and that seems really cheap. Is that just because it's an OE replacement and not a lift? Here's the link to the kit: 1996-02 Toyota 4Runner...
