    Western/ North Western region overland trip

    For what it’s worth..... I have been planning on taking a 8-9 day trip at the end of August. I live in Napa ca so I’m thinking of heading out through Nevada, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, then back through Oregon to California. Make a big loop. I’ve got several friends along the way in Oregon and...

    Front Wheel Bearing Hub Assembly

    If you have any mechanical know how do it yourself! I couldn’t believe how easy and smooth mine went. I bought the whole hub/bearing assembly online for around 100-150 dollars and roughly a couple hours of my time and it was taken care of. If anything I’m sure you could buy the assembly and pay...

    What did you do with your 4runner today?

    Nothing picture worthy here, but after running a few thousand miles without a sway bar, I re installed it. God I was missing out. I thought it drove fine without, but I found myself driving home on 121/128 from lake berryessa and god damnit those winding roads were killing me. I'm just going to...

    What did you do with your 4runner today?

    Yeah I have an alpine head unit. Mids and highs are focal component speakers front and rear. I run those off a 50x4 alpine amp. For bass I have a single kicker comp 12 powered by the kicker 300watt mono amp. I actually bought the bass setup dirt cheap off Craigslist, and when I went to get cable...

    What did you do with your 4runner today?

    Had the pleasure of replacing my wheel bearing this past weekend. I have been trying to track down an issue that arose after I did my new suspension and cv shafts. Switched my diff bearing to the ECGS bushing, kept getting leaks from various seals I put in the diff, and then one day I was...

    Weather tech floor mats warning

    Love my weather tech mats! Got them directly after getting my 4Runner. And they've served their purpose. From mud, to snow, to dirty dogs in the back. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I'm hoping to get a tow hitch soon so I can put a bike carrier on it. [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Frozen Calipers - How many others had this problem?

    Plan on checking mine tomorrow when I install my new wheel bearing. Last time I checked(5k miles ago) all looked okay. I just pulled it apart to grease and then put back together. (Damn squeaking in reverse) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Convoy Down the Coast

    ECGS clamshell bushing headcount?

    I did suspension UCA and cv shafts on my runner a few months ago. I immediately got the vibration. The bushing solved that issue. And if you have the tools. It really is a pretty easy process if you take your time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How many guys are still on original transmission fluid? Come on in!

    115k on my 07 v6. I was getting parts from the dealer the other day and asked about the tranny flush. He said if I had them do it I'd be paying more for WS fluid than labor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
