The snap rings will need to be replaced as they are usually destroyed while your trying to pull the hub to get to them. I pulled both mine off and pressed the entire assembly out from the back side, I didn't have the toyota specific jig to hold the knuckle straight while pressing in the new...

The first thing I would ask if there aren't any obvious signs of damage or abnormal contact from the brakes is are you sure its suspension? Did you notice if the sound was speed sensitive, (change pitch or amplitude) did the noise change with engine rpm ? I can tell you with a fair amount of...

If your ball joint is already jacked you could also try some heat directly on the bolt itself followed by tapping the nut down.

I assume you mean the A arm from the steering knuckle? If so you need to remove the castle nut and make a few sharp raps with a hammer on the side of the A arm itself. If that doesnt fall out you will need to thread the nut on until its almost flush with the top of the bolt, a few whacks down...

I finally got around to installing the 3" toytec lift and diff drop. What started with "just" a lift ended up being a little more than "just" a lift, here is the short list of what actually got taken care of at the same time. I started with the front end of the truck, there I found two loose...

Sold, thanks !

I just had a check engine light come one almost exactly at 125K, i still haven't had a chance to check the light but I thought it was rather close to be such a coincidence.

Most if not all fluid recomendations are based or at least biased by EPA evaluations, this means that the fluid recommended is often not the best performing fluid you can use for that particular application.

One garage for parking, one garage for actually working on the toys. It makes it a lot cleaner during the winter. As for the clearance, 9 foot door openings rock.

The wheels went on after the 4runner was purchased, I wanted a bit more wheel width and a wider stance without going the spacer route.

Bashing ??? not quite, I just said I had a bad experience with them. They (all terrain T/A's) just don't do well on nearly everything I typically drive on when 4wd is needed. As far as the KM2's go I love the traction, but I can't afford to keep any rubber under my dodge if I'm buying tires...

I know you won't be able to tell by just looking at the pic, but the wheels are 17's. Getting a 16 on there would be a LITTLE bit tight:biggrin2:

I actually thought about it, but the only tire I can find in that size is a BFG and I haven't had great experiences with them.

I plan on using their (toytec) ultimate lift, coil overs up front and OME springs in the rear. The garage gets a lot of time spent in there so I try to keep it tidy.

Well, a month ago I bought a good mechanical condition 4runner to play with off road, last week I finally finished with the exterior and interior detailing. 1" body lift has already been done, but I'm going to be installing a 3" toytec this week and going up to a 33" tire. Should I have any...
