Not a 4Runner, but I covered this completely with Monstaliner in my garage with a roller. I've been thinking about coating the cladding on my 03 but I haven't decided yet. I researched lots of liners before I went with this stuff. It has UV protection throughout the entire liner, not just a...

Lift the wheel off the ground. Then, grab the wheel at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock. Try wobbling the wheel (pushing then pulling at 12 o'clock and pulling then pushing at 6 o'clock). If the wheel bearings are bad you should be able to feel it. It'll have play in it. A good wheel bearing will be...

I don't remember where I saw it, but if you have the all wheel drive V8 transfer case, when you pull the actuator motor out there is a third hole in the case. On the V6 cases/actuators there is a third shaft that goes through that hole. Another forum member pressed/hammered a small freeze plug...

So I just pulled off a wheel and started measuring everything. I have 13wg calipers and 28mm thick, 319mm diameter rotors. So you're right, I apparently already have the "TBU". I do think I have a stuck piston though. On light braking there is a slight shimmy in the steering. I guess I'll just...

Anyone?

So I have an 03 V8 SR5 with what I believe are tundra 16" wheels, the factory brake calipers and an unknown brand of slotted rotors. I need more stopping power. Last week the girlfriend and I drove the Piute mountain trail and during the downhill drive I could feel the brakes fading bad, they...

No real input on the prinsu rack, but I remember people on the Ih8mud cruiser forum complaining about wind noise on their racks. Some people were wrapping paracord around the front bars on their racks. They'd wrap it tight but spaced out, like screw threads. It would create turbulence, enough to...

I think Aisin are OEM suppliers. I'd have no problem putting their parts on my vehicles. The water pump I put on my v8 during the timing belt change was Aisin, as was all the idlers and the belt tensioner.

If they are the original o-rings they are probably getting hard and slightly flattened. When it's hot they can swell up and seal better, but when cold can contract and lose their seal. I'd just replace the o-rings first and see if that fixes the leak. Do the cheapest and easiest fix first...

28034301 This is the item # for the Falkens I bought. I didn't want an LT tire, these are listed as SL rating (not sure what that is). I wanted the tires with the silica compound and the LT's do not have it. For me, my decision was based on the fact that I don't tow anything, or haul a ton of...

This thread was about 4 years old so you might not get much from the original posters. This link below is an awesome tutorial for how to fix the leak the proper way. It may seem overwhelming but I swear it isn't. For about $15 you can seal the actuator back up with new o-rings and replacing...

If you are able to do the work yourself there is a product that I think is a bit better and you can roll it on yourself. Monstaliner. The biggest pain in the but is masking stuff you don't want coated. It's completely UV resistant, comes in tons of colors and doesn't have any fillers like sand...

I've been searching for a while and haven't found a definite answer. I have these 16" wheels. Does anyone know if these wheels will clear the 231 caliper? A few of the pics on the first page won't load and I haven't seen these mentioned.

Valve-train/cam shaft tapping/clicking noise will be at half the rate as the bottom end ticking would be. You can try using some hose as a makeshift stethoscope to try to narrow down the location of the noise you're hearing. Just hold the hose to your ear and with the engine running run the...
