Thanks for clarifying. I assumed that was the case. I'm going to move forward with Marlin this time. Luckily, we recently purchased an Odyssey so the 4Runner is now a spare vehicle. It gives me the ability to do the work on my own time and not have to take to a shop. Sent from my iPad...

I killed my clutch towing an oversized trailer when moving from one house to another. There's was a ton of small movements to position it properly and all of that was on a slight uphill grade. In retrospect I should have done that maneuvering in low range for better control. I can't blame the...

Rockdawg84 - Is this clutch replacement on your 3rd Gen. Did you go with it because of the supercharger and 35s? I'm without the supercharger and only run 275/75/16 so I'm not sure that I need nearly the clutch grab that you do while wheeling. My understanding of the ceramic clutches is that...

Clutch replacement Round II Well I'm back to replacing the clutch again 4 years later. I moved this past fall and towed a far too heavy trailer with lots of maneuvering that had me feathering the clutch. End result is that is on the way out and I'm going to use an heavier duty one than stock...

Pics would help us help you....

Just so you know the 96-98 bumpers have different mounting brackets than the 99-02 bumpers. There are plenty of people on here who have made the mistake of buying bumpers intended for 99-02 and realized that it won't work. It is probably possible but you'd be looking at making an adapter...

That's a really common modification that many have done. You're best bet is to do some simple searching on this site to see how it has turned out. for others.

I applaud your forum etiquette.

I came across this quote and had to comment even though I resurrected a months old dead thread. Hat's off to Singtoe for bold comments backed up by amazing mechanic skills.

Stubbs HD-SKO. I've never found a better vendor for anything I've ever done for my 4Runner. Can't recommend him enough. The guy makes his living just building sliders and has owned every type of 4Runner. His welds were beautiful. I paid $3XX shipped to Ohio from NorCal. Can remember exactly...

I spoke to the POR-15 tech support last week prior to ordering my starter pack (the Marine Clean degreaser, Prep & Ready, and the POR-15). I have rust in a few different places on the frame or underside of the body but nothing abnormal. The tech support person said they could only guarantee...

I'm really surprised that I'm the first to reply here... I'm not an expert but I've never heard of anyone replacing the LCA with anything other than OEM. People often use aftermarket UCA like Light Racing to be able to handle additional camber for alignment after a lift. However, you likely...

Do you have the brackets that holds the battery down? I'm pretty sure there's two parts to it. Shipped to 43065.

That makes sense if your vehicle came with the factory e-locker. I believe that option almost always came with a 4.30 ratio.

I did this in August so it's relatively fresh in my memory. I went with an OEM Aisin clutch from WabFab, along with a new clutch shift boot and shifter bushings from Marlin. In retrospect, I wish I had gotten everything from Marlin and also went with a HD clutch. Marlin was easier to deal...
