    Specific Vibration: V6 4H Only > 55MPH, Butter Smooth in 2H

    No stipulation in owners manual about max speed in 4H. Lots of feedback on this forum also about the 4H in V6 and V8 models being same. Hoping someone may have similar experience to me or also might have insight on what components in front end are under load in 4H that are not under load in 2H.

    Specific Vibration: V6 4H Only > 55MPH, Butter Smooth in 2H

    I just bought an '07 V6 Sport 4WD ~115K miles on it. It recently passed MD inspection. It rides butter smooth in 2H on the highway as fast as I could ever want it to go 80+. However, when I use 4H (can shift into 4H <62MPH), I pickup vibration in the front end/steering wheel above 55MPH. I need...

    231mm or 199mm Tundra upgrade

    199mm for Daily Driving I pondered this for a whole year and went with the 199mm for the fact that a few members had issues with ABS with the 231mm's (not everyone has issues). Wouldn't even make cutting dust shield a consideration as it is kind of pointless. I sort of daily drive my 02 and...

    Official Lower Ball Joint Write Up Thread

    Just finished doing LBJ replacement on my 02' with 210k. Problems I ran into were obviously fused metal from rust and age. Just remember heat is your friend. Also, save yourself a headache and buy a couple different size pickle forks. Have a giant breaker bar on hand as well. I used a 4ft...

    Umm..did I receive the correct LBJ bolts?

    So I am installing the bolt/washers in my 02' currently. Is there definite answer whether I should go with the 37 ft/lbs or 59 ft/lbs?

    OEM Part Numbers for 3rd Gen 4Runner: Tie Rods, Ball Joints, and Wheel Bearings

    So I went with the bolt/washer ones. My 02' has 210k on it and it had the recall done at 50k miles. The bolts that went in during the recall service were the bolt and washer ones so I picked up some new bolt and washer ones again. You commented on the torque setting... I did not know it changed...

    OEM Part Numbers for 3rd Gen 4Runner: Tie Rods, Ball Joints, and Wheel Bearings

    There is a decent bit of unclarity due to these bolts. I will most likely just go with the washers.

    OEM Part Numbers for 3rd Gen 4Runner: Tie Rods, Ball Joints, and Wheel Bearings

    Which LBJ Bolt for 02 4WD I need to order 8 new bolts as well but for my 2002 4wd. Which one of these parts is correct? I want to use the post recall part or most up to date one.

    Rearmost ujoint Writeup

    Yup. My drive shaft has a pretty decent dent in it. U-joint was most likely fine. It's proving difficult finding someone that can repair the shaft. Might end up picking up a used one.

    2-3" Comfort Rear Lift Options

    trailbike and rallypoint mind putting your results up on here with ur 906/5100 setup whenever you install them? My back up plan is to just put 3rd gen specific 5100s on with my 906s (no packer or spacer) and hope it dampens out the ride a bit.
