    Rear brake overheating on one side

    Hey yall, For some reason the threads holding on my driver's side parking brake bellcrank blew out and the bellcrank bolts fell into the drum when I was on a road trip recently. The loose hardware in the drum locked the wheel solid. To get us back on the road, I replaced the shoes and left the...

    FS (3rd gen): Running boards, rear spoiler, driver's side spindle and hub, etc – MA

    I have some misc spare parts from my 3rd gen that I'm looking to clear out. In no particular order: Running boards – $200: Top looks great, the bottom has some very mild rust. They could use a good wash, otherwise they're in great shape. Rear spoiler – $75: Minor chip on the inside top...

    The 3rd Gen All Questions Allowed Thread

    Thanks for the guidance, much appreciated. I don't have access to the tools to check the wear properly, so I think I'm going to play it safe to avoid needing to replace this bearing AGAIN down the line. I can definitely feel some of the grooves with a fingernail. Pretty sure the reason the ABS...

    The 3rd Gen All Questions Allowed Thread

    I just had a near catastrophic wheel bearing failure -- I thought I had wheel vibration due to bad alignment, and when I brought it in they told me the bearing was about to fall out of the wheel. They were right it was so loose that there was 1/2" of play in it. I pressed it out and it came out...

    Identifying coil spring color codes (non LC)

    I replaced the suspension in my '00 4wd 5-speed, and I'm trying to identify the coil springs I removed so that I can sell them. I don't think they're stock, but I'm not sure. Here are the front springs, which are white/yellow and white/pink: And the rears (both blue/green): Are these...

    Throttle Position Sensor.....?

    Great, thanks to both of you -- I think I'll just buy a new one, because as you both said, they're not crazy expensive but they are hard to test.

    Throttle Position Sensor.....?

    Sorry to revive an old thread, but I don't have enough posts to create a new one. In the manual, the diagnostic procedure indicates that you need to check the resistance between the top and bottom pins of the 4-pin sensor. I got P0120 yesterday, and tried to check my TPS this morning, but...

    If you have the passenger side cargo area panel in tan (the one with the cigarette lighter and small storage compartment), I'm definitely interested!

    3rd Gen 4Runner Lift Information and FAQ's

    I appreciate that perspective! I decided on this faster than I decide on most big purchases, because after doing a lot of reading around the forum, it felt like the number of people I saw satisfied with their OME lifts far outnumbered the people who were satisfied with any other type of lift...

    3rd Gen 4Runner Lift Information and FAQ's

    Thanks for the suggestion -- just talked to them. Now I'm extra confused, because they said their 881 springs are a 1.5" in lift, when I've seen everywhere else that they're 2.5-3". If anyone knows people who've installed these springs themselves, I'd be very interested to hear what the actual...

    3rd Gen 4Runner Lift Information and FAQ's

    Hey yall! Thanks for all the great information here. I'm seeing some discrepencies between the information on the first page of this thread, and Toytec's website. For the front coils: this thread says the 882 coils are for 150+ lbs of extra front weight, and the 883s are for 100lbs extra. On...
