Why lock up a street rig? Well even if its driven on the street most of the time we still have bad weather in snow plus it seems some mud not rocks where it is driven. Nothing like driving to your cabin and encountering a sandy mud hole with stand water thats 50 foot long. Better safe than...

Think about this. 1 foot of mud, four wheels on SUV. only two pulling at anyone time. this means these two tires are having to pull or push the two non powered tires through everything the pulling tires are through. This accounts to a lot of extra static friction due to the mud or snow. Having a...

I use it for everyday driving. Have ARB's in my Jeep and love them. But the 4runner will be used to drive. Not any crawling. Want selectable like ARB for rear and poss front. Would be used in snow and mud only so not a lot of lock to lock turning going on under power. Front has selectable hubs...

Have 89 SR5 and is only spins one rear tire. Thought that these came with limited slip or rear locker. No switch found. Thinking of ARB and wondering what front selectable lockers people are running in the front IRS?

Just replaced head gaskets on my 89 3VZ 4Runner. Had extra cyl heads reworked before tear down of engine to shorten time. Heads are in very good shape. Valve clearances are great and in specs. Heads are not clean. Deck surfaces shows no damage. Using straight edge shows no warpage. Compression...

The new to me 89 runs and runs great. After head gaskets, valve job, and other basic maintenance repairs it runs great. I do think my 84 pick up with 22R may be a bit faster. Did take some people advise and left everything stock. No parts left over but a set of cyl head that are being sold to...

What are the head gaskets most people are using when replacing on my 3.o? OEM Toyota seems to have the history of failing. Thought I would try Felpro. What experience have you people had. Block is good and heads are flat.

have a good brand in mind. headers and exhaust sounds best to me anyway. Have noticed a lot of people like the 3.4 or the LS swap.

didnt know if it had any bearings or bushing that could be replaced before they went out. engine has 341000 on it.

Anybody have the repairs that can be made for the dist on high milage 3vZ as far as bearings or bushing?

Anybody have any stories about aftermarket cams. Have seen something about oversize valves for same engine. Manufactures of parts would be nice. Would like to change cam and going to have valves replaced so might have well have larger ones installed if available. Exhaust and throttle body too.

Just bought a 89. Has engine miss and back pass side has appox 140 psi during cranking. All others are 155 to 160. New this when I bought it and it has had the recall done. Getting ready to R&R cyl head to replace head gaskets and have valves done. Sure clearance is gone. No coolant cleaning on...
