I have a 2014 TE 4runner with a little over 165k miles. I've done every oil change myself at 5k mile intervals. Still using the original plastic housing without any issues but I use my torque wrench every time. Same procedure for my 2017 Tundra with over 65k miles on that one. Never any...

I think your driveline angles are off. I would read up here and go from there: Driveline Geometry 101 – Tom Wood's Custom Drive Shafts Since you mentioned you extended the driveshaft, I have also seen on some builds where the driveshaft was extended too far and the slip yoke was bottoming out...

Love that size of tire for these and it's what I plan on getting next. Looks great!

Good to hear. I’ve driven a few cars/trucks with the PTS system and maybe I’m old school or whatever but I prefer a real key. It’s like the self drive technology, I don’t want any part of it. I like the entire experience of driving.

Beautiful! Definitely on my bucket list!

I did something similar with my Tundra. I went from a 295/70/18 Ridge Grappler to a 275/70/18 KO2. Basically a 34/12.00 tire to a 33/11.00, 10 lbs less a tire, and about $100 less a tire. The Ridge Grapplers were pretty good, super stout tires but they are heavy. The butt dyno registered a...

In my opinion, the A750 is a pretty good transmission. Just gauging by the posts on here, very few issues ever but they do happen time to time. Owning a 4th gen and a 5th gen, I'm satisfied with the transmission but I do prefer the transmission tuning in the 4th gen better. I also own a 2017...

I really like the look (and the weight savings over a plate bumper) of these! Thanks for posting!

My 2008 started this a while back. I think I read every thread on the internet about it. Some had luck replacing the o-ring and accumulator, some had luck rebuilding the motor, some had no luck with those fixes and ended up replacing the entire MC and booster assembly. After my research, I...

I agree, don't double gasket anything unless it calls for it. If it still leaks, either the gasket is compromised/installed wrong, the manifold is warped, or the head is eroded where it was previously leaking. I would also recommend to leave the battery disconnected at least 4 hours so you can...

After having built a full plate Coastal Offroad rear bumper for my 4th gen, I realized that I don't want a super heavy bumper back there so I haven't installed it yet, don't know that I will. All the plate was cut just about right, it's super stout, probably bullet proof and the entry price was...

Looks great! I'm definitely leaning towards something like this.

Drain the radiator and the engine block and it will help minimize the mess when changing the T-stat and WP out. If you start out with clean buckets/drain pans you could filter the anti-freeze to re-use it but I would rather just start out with new coolant.

Kind of the same here. The off camber wheeling doesn't bother me (to a point) but I still like my 4runners too much to knowingly inflict body damage. Hopefully someday I can build a beater for some unleashed wheeling.

Read about this accident as well. Very sad for all involved. Still not clear if it was driver error or a medical issue. This is just a gravel road where this occurred but goes to show that accidents can happen anywhere. Definitely need to keep your eyes on the road at all times!
