I have a Sherpa Equipment Co, Matterhorn roof rack for sale for a 3rd gen. It includes all the provisions to mount it that came with it when I purchased it new. The front fairing is the "half height" that is designed to fit a single row LED light bar above it. The rack is in very nice condition...

It uses tundra axles.

Are those grooves worn in the new brake shoes or just streaks? The hardware looks to be set up properly from what I can see. The way I usually adjust the rear brakes is to turn the adjuster with a flat head screwdriver through the backing plate until there is just the slightest amount of drag on...

The parking brake and the hydraulic braking system are completely separate systems all the way up to the point of the actual brake shoe engagement inside the drums. So the fact that you say that parking brake use effects the situation leads me to believe that the brake shoes inside the drum are...

It does it if the car is sitting in park and someone is revving it?

What exactly do you mean by "hard brake pedal?" Is it hard to depress the brake pedal all the way from the top of it's travel? Are you feeling a hard pedal but not getting much braking force? If I was trouble shooting my braking system, the proportioning valve definitely wouldn't be in the top...

Definitely an incorrect axle. I'm kind of curious what they are meant for. Where did you get them?

Have you tried adjusting the kick down cable on your current transmission?

You barely missed passing. Did it sit and cool down for a bit right before the test? Did you have a long drive to get to the test center? Catalytic converters perform better the hotter they are. If it was me, I'd retest and see if you can get the truck up to temp and hot lap around the block a...

You don't need an adjustable panhard bar if you're installing a panhard drop bracket. You actually don't "need" either if you're okay with your axle being shifted 1/4" to the right.

I too replaced my original, Japanese built denso radiator around 200k miles and had no issues. The old Japanese built unit inspired more confidence than the brand new Taiwan built denso radiator FWIW.

Yes. I'd count the gear teeth to verify ratio prior to install. Also, they need to either both be locking or non locking. I.e. Can't just bolt a locking diff into a non locking diff housing.

From what I've experienced, the front and rear are independent systems so it really won't matter if you bleed front or rear first. However, I have found that the best bleed is achieved using tech stream to activate the booster/accumulators. Also, replacing the master cylinder assy pretty much...

FSM specifies the amount of lateral play (inward and outward movement of the axle shaft as measured at the flange of the axle shaft with a dial indicator) that is allowable with the axle assembly installed in the axle housing. It states .7 mm or .027" is allowable.

Yes. What part number is your bearing? Should be 90363-40068 right? As long as the bearing is pressed all the way into the bearing pocket/housing and the retainer is pressed snugly against the inner race of the bearing, it should be done right. How are you setting everything up in the press? Do...
