Oh man, that's a kick in the balls to have to pull the alternator and A/C after digging that deep! Whew I managed to get it apart after pulling the alternator and A/C compressor (just lifted it a bit and supported it with wire). I gave up for the night, beer time now. Getting that steering...

Help, how to get bolt out? I'm in the middle of pulling my rack. I can't get the bolt on the driver's side of the rack (the one that holds the rack in place). It bumps up against the A/C compressor and I can't pull far enough to get it out to move the rack. Did you remove the A/C? Did you...

replacement racks? Anyone know or recommend replacement racks?

Anyone find replacement bushings for a 2007 4th gen?

Pulled the spacers last night. That seems to have helped. I still probably need to cut some, like an inch off the bumper. I think these wheels had a very different offset that are basically doing the same thing the spacers were doing. I"ll cut bumper tonight but at least it is driveable.

I have bilstein 5100 and FJ coils for a lift. I have spider wheel spacers Previously I had factory wheels running 265/70R17 wheels. I had some slight rubbing, but moving the inner fenders a bit got rid of it. I just bought a tire/wheel package. KMC XD series 798 Addict...

I’m in the market for tires. The Revo 3 tires look good. Anyone have them on and have feedback? Pretty much this is more of a daily driver than off road use. p265/70/17

Yeah, in fairness, I got three. One with new tires, one when I did the strut/ springs and now this one. I’ve noticed at NTB appointments mean nothing, and alignment only is last to be served. I’ll just pay my good local guy from now on. My time has a value to it.

Got it Whew, that was some work. Tried sway bar bushings first. Improved the cornering a bit, but didn’t fix my issue. Went ahead and replaced both LCAs which included the ball joint. Since it was apart, I also did the inner and outer tie rods on both sides. After alignment she drives...

Some late night reading last night found a thread that talked about greasing the steering stops. Mine is happening only in turns so I”m going to hit them with some grease today and see if that helps. I’m not getting a.clunk otherwise driving down the road. Are skid plates good and tight...

I may have the same issue. Any answers yet?

I’ve been trying to chase down this ‘clunk’ that happens when going over a concrete drain curb, or turning while backing. When I back up and do almost full turn of the wheel ( when backing from my driveway out of the garage to run and then exit my drive) I hear this significant ‘clunk’ and can...

Thanks. Looks like 2008 model is another $100 more. https://www.amazon.com/Evan-Fischer-EVA17872050677-BUMPER-2006-2009-4Runner/dp/B009DJWGD8/ref=sr_1_3?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1526831359&vehicle=2008-76-1005-968--9-6-8-8087--1-1--116-3-0&sr=1-3&ymm=2008%3Atoyota%3A4runner

Wow! I’ll have to look into that! Can you PM me an Amazon link? I have 5100 struts giving me lift with FJ springs around.

About 4 months ago I hit a deer (it ran away so no dinner for me little bugger). Anyway. Driver’s side of the bumper cover is dented/scratched and plastic around fog light is missing. Insurance isn’t worth claiming. By the time I get a new bumper cover and paint it I’ll be well into $1k...
