    Front Diff (3rd member) question

    Well, I got the replacement 3rd and it's a 4.10 this time thankfully. But I have another problem. The legs are not interchangeable as I was told they would be. You can see in the pics that both the input shaft on the diff and the legs are very different. So, my question is this. Can I just pull...

    Front Diff (3rd member) question

    I have a follow up question. The front diff I ordered from a shop off ebay arrived. I opened the top to double check it and replace the gasket. Well, it is not a 4:10 like they said it was. It is a 3:90. I triple checked, it has 39 teeth, not 41. Am I correct in assuming that I can't use this...

    Thank you. Which gaskets did you need to replace when you did that?

    Front Diff (3rd member) question

    I have a 1st gen '89 SR5 V6 5spd 4Runner. I need to swap out the 4:10 front diff with a used one. I have found conflicting info regarding if it matters if it came with auto hubs or not. One fitment guide I found showed that it matters on 4runners 1990 and after and Pickups 1989 and after, but...

    3VZE 3.0L V6 4-hole upgrade fuel injectors. BS?

    I know this is an older thread, but I have info I bought a set of cheap 4-hole upgraded injectors that required adapters (provided) from ebay for my 1st gen '89 with the 3.0. It ran like total crap right off. These supposed upgrades were trash. I am petty sure that they are the same ones you...

    Sanity Check about broken 4x4

    I had a similar situation I had a similar situation. After I had replaced the front bearings on my 1st gen '89 I took it out for some fun without any issues. On the way down the hill to head home I heard a dragging sound and then a snapping sound. Couldn't tell what it was and the sound didn't...

    Can't check timing, please help

    I have a 1st gen '89 4runner with the 3.0. I had just remembered that my mechanic told me after smogged it last time that the timing was retarded. I am sure I just didn't get the timing spot on after I changed the timing belt a few years back and I never remembered to barrow a gun to check that...

    Nokian Rotivas vs Cooper AT3?

    I dont have both. In fact I dont remember reading of Nokians in my many hours of research. But I don't think it matters really. I have the AT3s and could not be happier!!! I will first say that I spent hours and ended up with a list of about 9, then narrowed it down to about 4. I then waited...

    Cooper Discoverer AT3 tire review

    I wished I found this thread before I spent forever researching I will first say that I spent hours and ended up with a list of about 9, then narrowed it down to about 4. I then waited and over a couple weeks I tried to find people in person who had the tires on my list, looking everywhere I...

    Cooper Discoverer A/T3, Nitto Terra Grappler or Grappler G2's

    I know this thread is old but is likely to still be viewed a lot. I have to say that I did A LOT of research myself before my big and oh so important purchase and I could not be happier with my choice.

    Post up your Flex shots

    That 2000 "showrunner" is just about perfect. It is what I am hoping to trade up to when I get the body of my 1st gen good enough to sell. Man, it looks so good, I'd be nervous taking out on that trail. Do you have the e-lockers on that?

    First let me say that bumper/guard/winch you have up front is awesome!!! I really wish we had some place to go like that here is Santa Barbara county. Almost everything has been blocked off and made illegal with very few and not exciting exceptions. The one last legal access to the riverbed was...
