Alright, diffs in, links in, all sorts of EimKeith stuff added. Picture coming. In the meantime, question… I bought a rear axle service kit many years ago (8ish) from Addicted Off-road for my 86 IFS 4R. Can anyone tell me if these parts will work on my 98 4WD LTD? I searched the part number from...

Thanks for the info, no wonder I couldn’t find a diagram that showed what it connected to. Next up… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Swear jar filled up fast today. Welding in the new cam tabs tomorrow…beer trumped motivation before I got any further. BTW, screw that front diff removal, what a pain Most of that is mud not rust. Don’t know what the hell I was thinking not going to the car wash before all this. Also, can...

I would like to replace front and rear diff drain and fill plugs with the lexus 14mm hex plugs (apparently much harder to round these off than the stock ones). Ive seen conflicting part numbers for these, some of which are difficult to procure. Has anyone done this and have confirmation on the...

I ended up ordering some beefed up rear lower control arms with rubber bushings since I live in CO and the amount of dust really makes me worry about tons of noise coming from poly or teflon bushings. Squeaks drive me nuts. I ordered some OEM stock uppers for the same reason. I'm going to do...

I ended up filling with FG, then sand and paint. Worked fairly well. Next step is rear control arms while I wait for my ECGS diffs. Reading all sorts of conflicting information about adjustable/non-adjustable and joints vs bushings. I want to do moderate trails but I also drive long distances...

So no one is going to talk me out of Great Stuff? I count on you all to keep my jackassery in check. Fine, this is your collective fault as much as it is mine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Been a while since I posted here. Given the insane market for these right now, I considered selling the truck…for about a day. Then I felt immense guilt and dumped a bunch of money into it. Regearing, front locker, new stereo, etc. In any case, I’m installing some Sonoran Steel rear body mounts...

Pretty sure you can get a rebuilt a340f from Toyota for around $2.5k. Not sure about r/r though, plus you have to deal with the core charge

I tried diagnosing the same issue for quite a while, light never stayed on solid and I assumed the diff wasn't engaging...only to discover it absolutely was engaging and the light just wouldn't stay solid. May be worth throwing it up on jack stands and giving it a try. Could save you a lot of...

I have spent an unreasonable amount of time searching for the correct clips, and have ordered three different types that I thought may be a replacement for the originals. Nothing worked. I attached a picture of the original two piece clips (obviously broken but you get the idea). 98 limited 4wd...

Had the motor swap done, it’s running amazing. I will make a post on that shortly. In the meantime, does anyone know what a drop from this area is? It was dropping pretty quickly. I’m guessing it’s AC evaporator collecting water but not certain. Thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great points and advice, thank you. I was not throwing any codes and frankly the engine ran great, albeit underpowered because of stock gearing on 285s and lots of armor. Next winter I will correct that issue and spend way too much $ at ECGS. Does the wiring harness that goes to the injectors...

The motor is currently out and all the accessories and many of the engine peripherals are being swapped over as we speak. I have a very important question for you all though... As I mentioned, my theory as to why all three cylinders on the driver side were low compression is because some sort...

Yep the oil pan will be resealed, thanks for the tip Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
