Battery Drain I've been having similar issues. I did the test to find what fuse its on and looks like my MPX-B fuse is higher than should be. Not by much, but still higher. Looking this up, I see it controls a lot of the ancillary items, like door locks and what not. I've had the issue with...

Savage Offroad no longer makes 3rd gen rear bumpers. Was looking forward to getting one from them since they had a good price on the swing arm, but no more.

I have a 99 SR5.

4 Lo definitely works, as I was driving on the beach that way for a few days. No problems. They said it was front diff. Picked it up today. I read in this forum that it could be electrical. Coincidently, I had it at another shop around the same time and noticed my ditch lights didn't work...

Thanks. I took it initially because the clutch, and since it was under warranty was hoping they would fix the issue. I plan on taking it to another shop. Not many I feel I can trust though. I had one, but they brutalized the runner the last Timemail I brought it to them. Thinking about the...

So a while back I went to Aamco to have my clutch replaced. A little while afterwards, I noticed a slight leak, however at the time I knew that I had a bad bushing on my steering rack and figured it was from that. Later, after the steering rack was fixed, the leak eventually got worse. Ends up I...

So I did some investigating today as I plan on doing it this weekend and wanted to see what I'm working with and if I need to hit the store ahead of time. I looked under the steering column, and didn't see any loose connectors. Everything plugged in. I saw on someone's pre-wired toyota...

So the connections at the bumper are easy, since they are exposed. For the other end, I've read that they are in the steering column and there is a connector 13 that I'm supposed to tap two cables, which then runs to my switch in the knock outs. I was hoping I just disconnected both ends and...

I have a 99 SR5 and have the pre-wire for the fog lights. I swapped out the bumper and don't intend on using fog lights, so I picked up a set of 7" FCKLightBars round off road lights. I was thinking that I could just use the pre-wiring for the fogs and connect them to the FCKs instead. I've...

Im heavily considering the Tundra TRD for my front and the LC8 in the rear with Tundra Bilstein 5100s for both for my 99 SR5. Do 35s fit? Im assuming 33s fit no problem, but was wondering what max was. Do i need to upgrade my upper and lower control arms? Wasnt sure how much travel was...

I have a vise and multiple clamps. However, loosening it all the way and replacing it seemed to work just fine. The issue was getting to the loosening part, haha.

1) We tried the 2x4 and bolts, ended up bending a bunch of metal and indenting the wood. Used some other metal that we had as well instead of the 2x4. Not sure what it was last set at, but it was a major pain in the rear. Lost some other tools trying to improvise. 2) I'll keep an eye out for...

I just updated my blog with a post about my timing belt experience. It took me 5 days, mainly because of a few minor sticking points. I didn't do a step by step, as plenty of people already have that covered in videos and posts on this forum. I did add in some notes about hardships and tips...

Trying to resurrect an old thread. I have a 3rd gen and am in DC. Was about to try and do this on my own. I like the ghost raptor with the new Toyota font. Are you still trying to dive into the 4runner world?

I ordered the Moog kit: MOOG-K200769 - Front Rack and Pinion Mounting Bushings made by MOOG For some reason, it looks smaller. But Moog and AutoPartsWarehouse both have this listed for the 99 4runner. So I'm a bit confused. I got under the truck today and was going to start this process...
