I dont doubt this but arent both the front differential and transfer case relatively in the middle of the car? therefore weight with or without should still be fairly even on both sides. correct me if im wrong but a full inch just doesnt seem right. I trust my shop did everything right too... i...

Do you know whats different between 4wd and 2wd when it comes to suspension? can anyone else chime in on this. Ill probably throw some trim packers on the back left and pray that the front end figures it out by itself. And 881 coils are definately not side specific because i checked when i got...

Hey guys I just picked up my truck from the shop and got a lot done to it.. light racing uca's ome 881 coils sonoran steel panhard bar and 265/75/16 Duratracs in load range c I already had 890 coils in the back Everything looks great and all but when I did a quick measurement from ground to...

ill try and post a picture tonight. I did watch the shop weld it on and noticed they welded it while the entire back end was jacked up. are you supposed to weld it with the wheels on the ground maybe? and i have 3inch ome coils in the back with 5100 bilstiens

I already did that and now its actually hitting the tank. Its actually dented it and scratched it up pretty good but no punctures yet...

I recently got the panhard drop bracket and ever since my driveshaft has been hitting my gas tank a LOT. It happens with very little flex in the back which doesnt seem normal from what i have seen on here. I had a shop look at it and said the only way to fix it was getting the adjustable panhard...

I have a 98 base model 3rz and planning on getting 33" tires soon. I know most of you did not re-gear for 33" tires but as far as i know the base model has a lower gearing than other models. whats the ideal gearing for my truck?

any other opinions? i havent seen too many people on here with limiting straps? correct me if im wrong and other people are flexing much more than me on here (yeah im jealous)

i can vouch for general grabbers at2. work great and they have pleasantly suprised me plenty of times. made my 2wd twice as capable so hopefully thats the case for you to

like the title says... my driveshaft has been hitting the skid plate but recently while in anza borrego going up the calcite mine trail i realized at full lock it actually hits the gas tank and made a nice little dent in it. also there is a piece of metal attached to the driveshaft (maybe a...

im against putting my boards up there unless i absolutely have too. my 9'4 log fits in easy if you just put the back right seat down. and i can lock it up in there too just by throwing it over the passenger seat. good luck and im in sd too. surf swamis all the time

located in san diego i guess i didnt realize how undriveable these are on the freeway but i believe everyone... ill look into older 4runners with the 22re and maybe even an old toy pickup. other than avoiding the carb is there anything else to look out for? ideally i could trade my 4runner for...

4runner is 2 wheel drive and no matter what i do its not gonna be able to run 4wd trails... financially i probably cant afford to sell this one and get a 4wd 4runner just to spend more money to lift it and tires. so this leaves me with getting a cheaper, older, smaller 4wd with less expensive...

how do i get to the top bolt for the shock?

i vote montero haha
