I installed an AAE last year and it has been great! It looks and feels well made. The install is miserable. Don't forget to get new rack bushings when you do it. You may also want to consider grabbing new front sway bar bushings while you have it all apart. Im assuming you have rust too, so I...

I used scrap 3/16 just because thats what I had too. Wear a bandana or you will be ripping your mask off in limited space while you try to dig a big drop of molten steel out of your scalp. Just cut out the rusty steel, lap weld in the patch, grind, clean, paint, and recoat with FF again! Sent...

Im just going to repeat what everyone else has said. Stop Leak for a temp fix and keep an eye on the fluid level. ATF DEXRON3 only. General concensus is that the A1 Cardone rack works great, but replacement can be a pain. OEM ITREs are best because they allow a full range of articulation which...

If I remember correctly, 4.10 is somewhat common in Tacos and much rarer in 4runners. If its in a 4runner, my understanding is that you'll only find it in 3rz, 4wd, 5 speed. You'll have a much easier time finding a 4.30 in either 4R/Taco and doing a retrofit of the rear axle housing while also...

Yeah man, don't drive this on public roads until it's fixed. Take it to a competent mechanic who can weld or a welder who is willing to do the work. They will very likely say you need to replace the rear axle housing. This is common rust damage, and since your LCA is hanging by a thread, you...

I installed the 3273N this past June. It's been A-okay. I haven't put it through too much stress yet, but everything looks good and leak free. I have 3" Eibach coils up front. Visual inspection says that the included ITR ends don't have as large of a range of motion as OEM, but I've been fully...

I believe its an m8x1.25 bolt but not totally sure of the length. You can either go to the dealer for it or Ace. Ace generally has a better selection of bolts that are fully threaded rather than partially threaded like other hardware stores. Thats what I did when I sheared my alternator...

If you're looking right where the lines enter the rack, the upper line is low pressure return. The line about an inch below that is the high pressure line and must be bought as a complete line all the way to the pump/reservoir, unless you could find a transmission/hydraulic line build who could...

Motivated to sell. Final price drop to $700. Still willing to ship at the buyers expense. Ive been asked if I'm the original owner. I am not I purchased this from a serviceman who had owned it for 5 years and never got around to installing the locker before he sold his runner. I bought it one...

I'm updating for a price drop to $800. Brand new in box.

This is an ARB air locker I purchased but never installed. The box has been opened, but everything is brand new. Everything is there as it was when purchased new. Check the ARB website for fitment and more details. Pictures below are of the actual item. I'm willing to ship at buyer's expense...

I see no mention here of the automatic adjustment. If the adjusters are moving nicely then repeatedly pulling the parking brake lever should bring it all into adjustment. If you listen carefully you can hear it ratcheting (if it works). I also had the same problems you did. For me, it was...

Congrats on the new lift! I think the only weak point you'll see is the Monroe's from Napa. I went through a few of them. They blow easily if you work them hard offroad. But its still a decent shock. Its very apparent when they're blown.

I've seen a couple like this where they use plate behind the exposed square tubing. I like the way it looks. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/107707-gerdos-rig-build-thread.html

Springs for LHD 4runners are made to account for having the driver, fuel tank and battery all on the left hand side. So I guess in your case, you'll need to figure out if your weight is well balanced left to right. However you decide to do it, the springs are interchangeable between left and...
