    Roof Rack advice

    If you are not opposed to drilling some holes I did this http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/222700-diy-oem-style-full-length-roof-rack.html and it actually clears my sunroof. The whole purpose was to make it easier to secure a longer roof basket with out breaking the bank on an expensive...

    Rattling from parking brake area???

    Had same issue, Did not have to remove center console. Just use a 1/4 inch ratchet, 6 inch extension and I believe it was a 10 mm or 12 mm deep socket. reach through the rubber "flap" above the ebrake handle. If you push it aside with your finger you will see what I mean, there is a nut on the...

    LED light rocker switch - can I put it here?

    No joke, that looks great, you could sell those if you wanted, not sure how much cost to offset labor. But that looks OEM, good job.

    Please help before I drive thing into the lake

    Odd question, do you leave the blue tooth obd2 scanner plugged in all the time? I had an issue with one doing this same thing, test complete and incomplete, over and over again. I cleared the data, and removed the scanner. Drove it to work for a week, no issues, no CEL, and borrowed a Autel...

    Got Peeling Paint?? Look No Further!!

    Good to know. Also I can't seem to find any info on spraying it, does it have to be thinned or does the undercoating gun spray it the same mix as you would roll it?

    Got Peeling Paint?? Look No Further!!

    Maybe I missed it but, how much did you use to put 2 coats on, a gallon or 2? And I have seen several colors of monstaliner out there, does it just tint like paint?? I am kinda partial to my old emerald green color and that would prevent having to jamb everything... edit: so... I should have...

    Carquest??

    true, the wearever stuff has never been great. Its funny tho, they carry more carquest stuff in the advance store now than carquest carries.

    Carquest??

    Honestly, chassis/suspension, and ball joints, don't cheap out on that, I work for advance but I buy all that from toyota only.

    Carquest??

    I completely agree, I've worked for advance for 4 years, I see a lot better quality than they used to have, far better than Orielly and Autozone, plus the reason we were all told for the carquest buy out was to pick up some of their product lines that were proprietary to carquest. And if you...

    Feels Good To Be Back

    So, my best looking upgrade so far finally happened! I got my lift, spacers, and a new set of 285/70R17 Nitto Terra Grappler G2's (that was painfully expensive, only my second set of brand new tires ever, I have bought many cars for less than these cost) 3 in spacer lift(I know, hate all you...

    Vibration after lift???

    I'll be switching wheels and checking ujoints today or tomorrow and I'll have to let you know how it goes. And sorry the pics are pre- alignment. It had a lot of camber, caster, and toe issues. It's much better now. Tires are 285/70r17. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk

    Vibration after lift???

    Ya I made sure when I ordered them and before installing. I think the tires are good. The problem was there with the old dueler revos and with the new nittos. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk

    Vibration after lift???

    I wish it was, but now the tires are too big to clear without them. Maybe I can borrow the wheels off my father's 4runner and give it a shot tho. Recently greased everything, but I'll give it a go again. I'm figuring something is being exaggerated because of new angles. The slip is possibly an...

    Vibration after lift???

    As a little back story, a few months ago the rear end was rebuilt(was making loud growling before), just did a tundra brake swap and oem front lower ball joints a couple weeks ago. All along I have had a light vibration at hwy speed 65-70 mph. Assumed tires or usual for wear(225k miles) changed...
