bump for a fresh detail and updated photos.

Thanks for the bumps. I'll gladly cut anyone a deal that I get through the forum or toyota people. Asking is just asking price. I'm stubborn on my possible trades. Wish I could budge but for now I I'm gonna stick to my Subaru past.

Mid day bump for zero rust and low miles

This has been sold on this forum before. I need to move on. I thought I was going to have more time to use this amazing vehicle, but I haven't had enough. https://austin.craigslist.org/cto/6119876647.html The link to the build thread is in there as well. I have put a lot of money into it in...

I wanna lower my front struts an inch or so after downsizing tires. Is it possible for me to simply hook up a regulator and let out the same psi in either side until my height is where I want?

https://youtu.be/MLnWR1dL7Ew I tried adjusting my adjuster screw and couldn't get it any tighter than this. Is my box to worm to take out the slack? It translates to about a 1/6-1/4 turn on my steering wheel before I can tell the pitman starts to turn. Just been getting more and more floaty...

Well, I went to tighten one of my sway bar points where it mounts to the axle and snapped the bolt off. So that being loose could be a part of it. I'm not seeing any leakage in my rear seal but I did notice what sounds to me like a brake pad dragging after letting it sit overnight and driving it...

Thanks guys! Will check back asap to confirm if I find anything.

I recently did my 3rd member. I could have gotten gear oil on my brake shoes and or torn a seal. I will pull off the drum and inspect today. Could be as easy and pulling the drum and brake cleaning everything down super well. Thanks!

hey guys, 01 SAS Dana 44 4runner. I have been getting this weird diving and pulling while driving recently. It only happens when I am rolling, clearly above 40mph. I cant get it to pull or dive while pulling away from a light or smashing the brakes going slow. What will happen is: Whil driving...

I air down super heavy on the trail with beadlocks. Sideall strength is a big plus as well. We don't have crazy sharp rocks but limestone will split a sideall quick.

Snagging new tires soon and am torn. I currently run BFG ko2s. I spend 75% of my time on the road. I have a very minimal commute of less than 10 miles. The other 25% is off road. Weekend wheeling and afterwork fishing missions on and around the rivers in Texas. I like the BFGs but am open to...

This does sound similar to mine, but mine was a whine up and down the rpm range. My issue now is, I wish I could have fixed my 3rd member prior to swapping the transmission. The pinion whine was so loud it was overpowering any noises I could hear from my trans. Previous owner swore up and down...

Update: Broke 500 miles and drained and re filled. Had a fair amount of super fine metal as I would expect. Fluid looked great otherwise. Everything is smooth as butter. Threw 90-140 in it and called it a day. Looking forward to wheelin this thing again!

Update: I am 433 miles in after just over a week after install. I good weekend spent fishing and putted all around the Texas hill country then back up to Austin. I havent had any noise or issues what so ever. I am going to drain and fill here end of the week. Zuk did a great write up of the...
