Yep. All you need the the large one in the center. Just get the castle nut off and then fenegle that thing around it with the bolt square on the top of the (ball bolt (?) and tighten.. Works like a charm. Here is what i used when changing mine a week ago. 1) That puller 2) Pack of different...

Welp after the change the noise has gone away so i guess it was 100% the LBJ! Interesting as it had plenty of grease still and the boot wasn't 'torn'. The ring locking the upper part of the boot to the top of the joint had come off and allowed the boot to slide down. Got OEM from amazon for...

Yea i did that, its all 'groaning'. What's funny is that when i bought my 4runner i got on here and heard the horror stories of the LBJ failures so i did some preventative maintenance by changing them out... only have to one fail in 3k miles. Whoooooops. :whistle: I'll be going OEM this time...

Yea i didn't quite know where the nozzle to the mesh was. It was actually not hard to dislodge it. I just put the tip against the mesh and it just kinda just kept going. Couldn't see what i was doing so i didn't even think i had hit the mesh. At one point it was shaking around in there like a...

After a hard ride out in the desert with some water, mud, dust, and dirt my vehicle has started giving this absolutely horrendous creaking sound anytime i turn the wheels and anytime the suspension flexes on the right hand side. I've been trying to figure out what it is for a while now and i'm...

Wow, My "filter" was nearly 100% blocked. Hot damn a lot of stuff came out. Also, that video should make note that the screen is not stuck in there with any force. I managed to poke it hard enough to turn the damn thing sideways. It took quite a while to get it re-seated properly. Flush...

Yep, thats the one. Awesome, I will be doing this then. I bought it with 200k on it a couple years ago (now at 210k). I bet the fluid has never been changed! Your right, the belts may be a bit to blame here. I honestly have no idea the last time any of them have been changed or even if the...

Ever since i did the Tundra/LC lift and put on 17'' and 275s my power steering pump has been struggling to cope with moving the wheels when i am wheeling. For instance if i'm up on a rock and need to turn to re-position how i will come off it the power steering pump just makes a lot of noise...

About how much was it for them to repair the seat? I currently have duct tape holding my seat together.

Where are you located, is the rack still available?

Got it back home. Guy at the auto store said if the tack instantly dies and you get some lights means the alternator is kaput. Gave it a run on the tester though. Postmortem says the impact killed the alternator and the battery gave its life getting me back to camp. Replaced both. Good as...

Everything checks out good with battery terminals. If I start with a jumper pack and remove the positive from the battery and keep it connected to the fuse box while truck is running it dies. Seems to indicate alternator. Is the alternator always charging or does it need to be told to charge...

So I’m out in the desert currently in so cal and the truck is dead. I was up in the dunes and took a good hit to the front. As soon as I did the tack died. The battery light and the abs light came on. The truck was still running properly though. I got off the dune and my buddie said to try and...

Thanks for the heads up guys. Ended up picking up a skid and sliders from Savage. I ended up shipping them because shipping was $34 lol...

The 3rd gen needs some armor. Would you all suggest buying kits and installing/welding them or using a local fab shop to piece something together? I'm located in SD and i've been looking at a few kits (sliders & skid plates) but the shipping on them is outrageous.
