Joints are lubed every oil change at 2500-3000 miles. I’m hoping it’s just a joint going bad.

Hey, thanks for the reply. It’s not a typical belt squeal sound. And it changes “pitch” when I shift into neutral and drive. It’s definitely coming from the driveline.

Hey all, 2001 w/213k, 3.4L/auto, 4x4. When the underside gets wet (i.e. rain, car wash) I get a squeal that sounds like a bad bearing or u-joint. Once it dries off, it goes away. Any ideas or things to check? Thanks in advance!

Bump. Any thoughts on how much body lift I can add without having to modify anything else? Or just stick with stock height? If I’m going through the trouble to do it, might as well benefit from a little more height? Also, where to buy? Stock rubber or upgrade to poly? This is a daily...

Exactly the same set up but mine is an 01 with stock rims. Just replaced shocks/coils all the way around too. Body mounts are shot though. Going to replace them, but thought I might add an inch or two if I am going through all that anyway. Just don’t want to have to modify anything else.

Thanks for the advice! 1. How much “body lift” can I add without changing anything? Or should I just stick with stock? A few of mine are SHOT! But, if I’m going to replace them, I’d like to add a little lift, but don’t want to have to modify anything else. 2. Where would you guys...

Thanks everyone. Not actually trying to lift for bigger tires, but the ones I have are “slightly” bigger than stock and are rubbing on the mud flaps just a touch. Just hoping to raise it up enough so that stops. Probably only need an inch or two. Just hoping the spacers would be an easy...

Hey all, 01 SR5 here. Wanted to add a “little” lift to keep tired from rubbing. It’s a daily so I just need an inch or two. Probably just going with coil spacers. How much can I safely add without changing anything else? Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know where to pick up stock OEM parts for a 'reasonable' price? My local dealer's quote was outrageous! I don't mind spending a little money on a good, quality set up that will give me back a factory ride, but I don't need to be bent over the hood in the process. Or, if someone...

First, thank you to all that responded with recommendations and personal experiences. Much appreciated! Second, I fully understand if I ask 100 people for their personal opinions on a subject I will usually receive 100 different responses. Lastly, I know all terrain tires are not better than...

Yeah......probably not. I spent many years building that thing to get it to where it sits now. And yes, it is SUPER fun! Thanks for the advice on the tires.

Hey all, I have a stock 2001 4Runner SR5 4x4 3.4L with the TRD package. There is no lift and it's a daily driver. I am looking for recommendations for a good all terrain tire that's not too expensive but it's really important that they work well in wet/snow conditions. I live in Northern...

Sorry to revive an old thread..... I have a 2001 Toyota 4Runner SR5 4x4 with the 3.4L and TRD package. It currently has 175k on it and the stock suspension is getting pretty rough in town and on the highway. I have been searching and see a lot of conflicting info, so I just wanted to clarify...

I am looking for the adjustable factory cross bars from a roof rack on a 2001 Toyota 4Runner SR5. Willing to send payment via PayPal and pay for shipping for a good deal. I would like to find these ASAP, so let me know! PM me with info. Thanks, Dave

Yes, that's all I need. My tach overlay is bubbled up for some reason. I'll take a look when I get in there. But, it hasn't changed and isn't getting any worse. Either way, I'm not sure if I need to change the entire tach face or if I can simply find a stock tach overlay and replace that...
