Good stuff. The platform and roll bar look great.

Awesome, looks like you are running the same size. Good to know I wont be the only one running them on a 3rd gen and that they work well. If Discount cant get them dialed in, I found a shop that looks worth trying. They do road force and even have a setup to balance them on the vehicle.

UPDATE I am exchanging the Yokohama MT's for Baja boss AT E load. The Baja boss AT may be a better choice anyway, assuming they have much better pavement traction. We will see If they solve the problem. I'm In Washington state and will be doing a lot of exploring in the mountains. Abandoned...

Everyone I've talked to confirms what you are saying. In this size, range E is what's most available and seems to be what most people are running. The manager is being cool. He Tried rebalancing them himself and my problem persists. He has offered to let me exchange. At this point I'm...

I have a situation Id like to get some thoughts on. 2000 4runner sr5 5speed. I purchased a set of Yokohama Geolander MT's, 265/75R16 E load. I have a bad pulsing vibration at different speeds starting around 50mph. 4th or 5th gear, doesn't matter. I swapped on my Dads BFG AT's E load and the...

Is it toast or does it just need fresh grease and the contacts cleaned? I don't have much hands on experience with Elocker issues but I know there is alot of info out there about rebuilding the actuators.

I thought some of you guys might be interested in this 5VZ rear main seal tool.5VZ FE engine rear main seal installer – MK1 Motorsport I've got my transmission out for rebuild and wanted to replace the rear main seal. I like having the right tools for the job and a rear main seal is not...

Did those come out in one piece? How long did it take to swap them out?

I wondered about doing this with the taller spring that isnt currently available. What did your hub to fender measurements end up at?

This sucks

I recently did an OEM rack and ignored the poly bushing suggestions. Everything seems good.. so far. My steering wheel seems off, just a little to the right but I assume that is just my alignment guy not centering the wheel perfectly and only cosmetic. Hopefully if poly bushings are needed they...

Id solid axle swap the 4runner. Not interested in running 35"+ tires on IFS. Solid axle will perform better and have the strength/reliability for the bigger tires.

My rockers are rusting from the inside. I assume from the sunroof drains (I hate sunroofs). I'm doing a ton of maintenance work on it right now. This summer I plan to enjoy it and In the fall I'll probably cut out the rockers and weld in some clean ones from the junk yard. So mines not really...

No takers on my post above? Can anyone Confirm That a j shift transfer case from a v6 automatic will work fine on my r150F manual? A little research looks like it might be the same other than needing to swap my shifter to the auto case. Anyone done this?

Can anyone tell me if it's normal for the rear output flange on the Tcase to have a little in/out play? It takes a little muscle but I can get a 1/16" or so in/out movement. If I push/pull hard I can get a little clunk. The flange isn't loose, the shaft moves in and out with it. The staked nut...
