Thanks, sounds like a 3rd member replacement.

This is on a 4runner I am looking at for a side project. I can take the driveshaft and shake it. Something is clearly broken at the rear differential. Any ideas? The circled area is where all the play is. Truck just grinds when you try to move it. Seller said it came to a stop when this...

Exactly what I was looking for! Appreciate the help!

I'm looking at purchasing a 3rd gen that needs some work. Currently, there is an issue with the Ujoint on the rear driveshaft. Instead of having it towed, I would like to just remove the driveshaft and drive it home .... about 30miles. It seems like this is do able, but just wanted to...

Just to follow back up on this, I've got the window back in and everything works. There was no way I was getting the bolts out of the glass tabs with a socket as they were just too corroded. I cut the tips off with a dremel, then cut the heads in a cross shape. After that they pulled out. 1...

Glad to hear that. I was able to just cut the bolt heads off of all of them. I did break one additional tab. So... I now have 1 broken tab on each side, and just 1 good one each. I'm currently trying to epoxy washers on the broken ones to see if that works.

Looks like I'm most likely cutting these out. I have them soaking in PB blaster for the night to see if that helps. I did break one of the window tabs pulling the glass out. Just the bottom part broke off. I'm thinking I can jb weld it back on.

Thanks! It's looking like the glass will probably have to come out so it's easier to work on. What's the easiest way to get it out? Straight up near the spoiler?

If you've replaced your rear hatch window regulator, do you remember what size head the 4 bolts that go into the glass are? Mine are caked in rust, just trying to figure out how much. So far, a 10mm still is loose around the bolt heads. Any tips for removing severely rusted bolts? Thank you!

My rear window is binding and not rolling up all the way. I took apart the rear area and notice a loose cable that goes to the motor. Should this be held somewhere? Is it supposed to be loose?

Thanks! Ya, I have a feeling it's a very niche market and not for your average car buyer.

So I'm looking at selling my 4runner as I am going to get a Tundra. Problem is, it needs a few things. I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to fix them, or just sell as is.... Mods are all in my sig. It's a very clean truck, runs great. Only negatives are below; 250k miles Hatch is...

This is sold

Mine did the same thing, mainly when it was cold outside. Replacing the belt solved the issue.

You're welcome, sounds good!
