They're on amazon and ebay. But they're about $125. I'm pretty close to pulling the trigger on this method instead: Torque OBD 2 engine diagnostics — Torque Here's a video: Torque on Android / HTC EVO 4G + OBDII/ELM327 Bluetooth Dongle - YouTube You need one of these for $15: OBD bluetooth |...

Na, its just close to my last name.

Next weekend = this weekend coming. Look what just showed up! I think I'll start tackling that job tomorrow along with the CV boots. It seems like my leaking diff is actually a leak further upwind. So I still need to hunt that down too. Hopefully its something easy!

Wow, excellent link. Thanks! I didn't realize the construction of the axle housing. You're right, I definitely hope its just a leaking crush washer! Looks like I better get started on this job ASAP, I have a wheeling trip coming up next weekend.

Yes, the inner CV is torn on at least one side. Apparently this is a pretty common problem with 2-3" lift. I think the PO installed a 3" lift, no body lift. I don't know if it has a diff drop installed or not. (Truck has been so damn reliable I haven't been under it for almost a year!) I was...

Good eye!

Yeah, I love the 'goose. The drop seatpost and Hammerschmidt up front are the coolest parts, feels like I'm riding a bike from the future. The rides are much more enjoyable than on my old one. So the Aussie Locker should be here early next week. I'm hoping that I'll remedy the wet/slow drip...

Blowing the dust off this one! I mounted a set of 285s on the stock rims after I scuffed, repainted, and baked them. They definitely look better than what was on, I'm pretty happy with them. (hard parking, hehe) I replaced the broken swaybar endlinks at the same time. I've used the truck...

I'm in Costa Mesa. I'd definitely up for meets or trail days. Very generous offer Pikeman, I may have to take you up on that!

Definitely hit up Expedition Portal as they have a sub forum dedicated solely to our flavor of trucks. They also have some AWESOME build up and modification threads over there. Plenty of info on setting up a fridge, drawer systems, sleeping platforms... CYi5's '99 4Runner Buildup (none of...

See, this is why I knew I should start posting up here, you guys know your stuff! I'll investigate the suspension further when I have daylight again. I don't think I have a diff drop, the CVs and arms are at equal angles downward. Unless a diff drop moves the arm points down too. I just looked...

The tires are the stock 265/70R16 size. I've drooling over some FJ TRD type wheels. Preferably in anthracite like these: But they're a little more spendy than I was hoping. So I'll probably just find some other stock/option Toyota wheels to put on. I can get a company discount on BFG's so...

Yeah it does look like it's been lifted. I spied some OME parts underneath:

Hi everyone. New to this forum and to 4Runners, but previously owned a '95 Tacoma SR5 4x4 that I loved to death. I've been searching for a '99 LTD 4x4 for a few months now and finally found the right one last night. 140k miles, leather, decent shape inside and out, great price. It spent the...
