I had a set of larger Warden AT tires, with the KedgeGrip, on a Jeep Cherokee. I liked them and Treadwright was great to deal with. You can't beat the price. My Jeep wasn't a daily driver. It was more of an old beater/hunting rig. I put on about 10 to 15K on them and while they may have...

Hi Michael, That information helps a lot! t gives me more information of what could be the problem. Sorry to hear you had to go through all that to get it fixed. It seems like it is one of those problems you can throw a bunch of electrical components at and hope it fixes it. I am hoping to...

Well, it isn't the battery. The "0" must mean 2010 not 2000. battery and charging system did fine on the load test. When I get the chance I am going to go over the back door harness real good and maybe try to take the one wire out of the adapter and try replacing/repairing it's connector.

Bob J, I never considered the battery as being a possibility. This is a new to me 4Runner and I am embarrassed to say I never looked at the age of the battery. I assumed too much when I purchased it from my Toyota dealer. The "0" and "March" are rubbed off on the batter, so would that mean it...

Did you ever get this issue resolved? Sorry to dig up an old thread, but this is THE exact problem I am having with my 2004 4runner and I was wondering if you replaced the entire back door harness. I finally must face my problem and fix it because it drained my battery. I had taken out the...

I see NAPA has greasable joints (NCP 2601746) for $38 each and limited life time warranty. I checked out Rock Auto and ACDELCO Part # 45D2426 and RAYBESTOS Part # 5051435 look to be the same exact part as NAPA or they all use the same stock image. Anyway, their professional grade has a 24...

Thanks for the information. I am leaning toward just replacing the dust covers for now, but I will take a closer look at the condition of the joints. I hate to get it together only to have to do the joints within 10K miles. As much as I would love to upgrade the LCA's I just don't have the...

I am in the process of doing a Bilstein 5100, FJ Cruiser Coils all around with a Toytec 1/2" spacer in front on a 2004 T4R 4WD V8 that has 134K miles. This is a new to me vehicle that I just bought and while it is in good clean shape, I am finding out that general maintenance/replacement was...

ktom3001, I am definitely interested. I'll send you a PM. Mike

I have been shopping for 5100's for a week or two and down south motor sports were the best price hands down. I finally purchased a set this afternoon thinking the price may go up at any time. Now all I need to order are a pair of the Toytec 1/2" spacers and my FJ coils/5100's lift will be...

May be a stupid question, but before I place an order I was wondering. I have an '04 T4R V8 and in the process of ordering all the parts for a timing belt, water pump, etc... replacement. I would hate to order the gaskets seperately and then have them be included in the purchase of a water...

Okay, thanks for the reply. Even with a ½" spacer up front, I was starting to doubt I would get the lift I want on a V8.

Are these available still? I am interested in the whole package. Just wondering if these can be used on a V8 4wd and get close to a 3/2 lift. Mike

Thank you. Nice to know a fellow Northlander is on this forum. I never thought of contacting the PO., but it makes sense. It would be worth the peice of mind and easy on wallet. I wonder if the dealership would divulge that info?

Thank you. The Toyota dealership looked over the engine for signs, but no luck. The second owner had it for the majority of miles but had work done at a private shop, so the carfax shows nothing but yearly license renewal.
