    Sorry I’m out...stock truck is likely not ideal to hang this time. Looking forward to the pics!

    DIY dashboard accessory mount

    I don’t have a bunch of gear to hang but would still be interested in a finished product! Are there similar products you benchmarked? Planning to take orders? Thanks.

    Bay Area / South Tahoe Snow Camping & Winter Wheeling Mar 16-18

    Cool. Thanks for posting. I camp with my kid so the snow might make it a tad rough. Will see if I can get the boss’ approval.

    Any late 3rd Gen'ers reading tranny temps with EngineLink AND an Iphone?

    Cool. Thanks. Is this considered the best setup for real time measurements via iPhone?

    3rd Gen TR4 Backup cam?

    Reviving this thread to see if anyone else has installed a rear view mirror mount backup camera? Some are well reviewed and only $40! Thinking to avoid the wire fishing in the hatch and just place high up in the cargo area pointing down. My main goal is to see my real bumper when backing up.

    Brake shudder at low speeds help

    Good call on caliper. I’ll take a look the best time I service the brakes. They do make a tiny squeek when coming to a final stop. Steering wheel also pulls slightly to the left when braking.

    Brake shudder at low speeds help

    That would be a nice simple solution...did yours only shudder at low speeds when coming off the pedal quickly? Otherwise my brakes are smooth, even at high speed + hard braking which is when warped rotors usually show their symptoms.

    Brake shudder at low speeds help

    I experience a shudder in the car, not the pedal when pumping the brake at low speed. Common situation is pulling up to a stop and pushing the pedal firmly at low speed but then lift off quickly, this is when I feel the shudder. Pads are 80%. No other abnormal shakes or vibrations.

    Wheel'n Sat. Mar. 3rd 2018; who's in?

    Newb finally found my way to this thread..subbed as well depending on location. Closer to south or east bay more likely to make. Is there a location set yet? Im also stock, but still interested in checking out other rigs and doing some light stuff. If still open to locations, anything close to a...

    Alignment issue help. Pulling to right but alignment OK

    I did ask about lifted/modified trucks, and he said no problem, he works on them a lot. Im no expert, but the Hunter Hawkeye Elite setup impressed me. The wheel adapters dont even touch your wheels with metal (No scratching), takes real time tire psi and can adjust as well. Pretty cool.

    Alignment issue help. Pulling to right but alignment OK

    Yup, it's Michael from Fremont Alignment...just a stand up professional guy. He mentioned that he put a little more (.1) caster on the right to address the crown. Seemed OK driving back home :thumb3: Thanks everyone for the guidance!

    Alignment issue help. Pulling to right but alignment OK

    im a happy camper now. Fremont Alignment did a wonderful job. Michael was awesome and fixed the other shops screw up in 10 minutes before dialing other things in. It's obvious now, but the other shop only touched the lower control arm bolts. Here's the print out and the truck is tracking just...

    Alignment issue help. Pulling to right but alignment OK

    Will do. Will post up the print out tomorrow. I suspect the baseline numbers will look nothing like the one the first shop gave me...don’t think they did anything right now.

    Alignment issue help. Pulling to right but alignment OK

    Completely stock SR5. Found a highly rated shop in Fremont. Guy sounded knowledgable and said the eccentric adjustments can be a tad tricky to get in spec for 4runners, but shouldnt be a problem unless something is bent. Looking forward to reporting back good results tomorrow!
