It's not the mounts on the axle that are ruined, it's the mounts that are on the frame. Unfortunately, replacing the entire axle wouldn't really do anything. I'll do this. In the meantime, I'm located out of Fresno, CA and drive a 97 4Runner Limited with locking axle. I got a quote from my...

I've been experiencing some clicking noises coming from the rear end of my 4runner upon stopping, starting and going over rough terrain. Upon further inspection I've noticed that the (what I believe are) control arm bushings that attach to the frame are shot and that the mounts themselves are...

Oh sweet, I am going to be buying an ARB front bumper for my 4runner pretty soon as I have a 20% coupon I won at a wheeling event. I went onto their website but I couldn't find anything for the 3rd gen 4Runner on their website. Where did you get yours?

I recently replaced the factory stock battery on my 96 4runner with an Optima Blue Top. The new battery is a lot smaller than the one it was replacing and I've noticed that there is a TON of play in the OEM battery tie-down system. Even with the nut screwed down all the way it doesn't even...

Cool, I'll check this out. Thanks!

Sry, 96 4Runner. Located in Fresno, CA.

Are there any manufactures out there that make OEM front cup holders? I found one online for 50 bucks+shipping from a private party but these seems a bit steep for a hunk of plastic.

I have a 96 4Runner with the factory locker, a 1.5 inch lift, and am running 32 inch Mickey Thompson ATZ's on a stock rim size. I recently went on a Jeep run down on Borego Springs with Terra del Sol and two bud's; One had a 2002 Jeep Rubicon with a 3 inch suspension lift and a 2 inch body...

Hmmmmmm.....I was at Sears today and there was a 4Runner getting new tires. The guy was installing 285 R16's on his car, and they fit, barely. He said he was going to have to cut some off the running boards in order for it to be rub free, but other then the tires looked like they fit. I'm...

Re: Re: Question about tire/wheel combo It says that he is on stock suspension. The only things that may cause that truck to look lifted are 1) No running boards and, 2) 2nd Gen (Not too sure about this one) The rims I am looking at buying are 15 inch, whereas the stock rims are 16's. What's...

Its come time to purchase new tires for my 4Runner and I've also been thinking about buying new rims to replace the stock ones. The rims I have in mind are Outlaw II's but I'm not sure what size rim I should buy. They offer 3 different sizes, ranging from 15x7 through 15x10. I'm driving a 1997...

I love mud. There, I said it. Its not a sexual attraction (well, maybe a little...mmmmmm mud wrestling) but I do love myself a little wet dirt to go have some fun in. Today it started raining....a lot...and nearby where I work, there is an empty field that will someday be home to many a white...

*BUMP* Price drop to $8,350

I am gauging interest to sell my 1997 Toyota 4Runner. I think this car has all of the options that were available for that model year, includes power door locks, power steering, power windows, pretty much power everything. It currently has around 153,000 miles on it and runs great. The truck...

Are the tires balanced?
