I appreciate the response. Someone already swapped a j-shifter into mine, something I didn't realize wasn't stock until after I bought it. I knew the 99 manual and 97 auto ecus were different but I didn't know if it would mainly be plug n play save for a a couple connectors since I was taking...

Sadly my 97 Limited has developed a head gasket leak and my overall history with the vehicle has led me to lean more towards swapping engines instead of fixing the leak. I have the opportunity to buy a beat up 99 4runner with the v6 and a 5 speed manual and would really like to go ahead and swap...

Man those rims really did change the look! I've always been a fan of a darker overall style and "less flashy" rims like the ones you got. 4Runner already looks great with such little work, very nice! I'm sure it will only get better. :biggrin1: Edit: Was typing that when you posted the picture...

I know this an old thread but I'm really interested in the results as I was getting ready to do the upgrade myself. I have a 97 with stock brakes and this past winter my front end did lock up and send me into a curb on an ice sheet of a road. Honestly just chalked it down to my crappy tires...

I've got a third gen and had these control arms for about a year now and decided to completely rebuild them. So far I have FK Rod Ends 1 inch uniball bearings product code WSSX16T (Ruff Stuff sells their version of the same uniball for about $10 cheaper but didn't have many reviews) and I found...

I assume this is for a 4th gen? From a quick search it looks like the rear shocks are mounted in the same manner as my 3rd gen. Should be some washers sandwiching some bushings up top and on the bottom a bolt runs through a bushing with washers on either side. Their should be a washer in the...

You could drill a hole in the tube then have someone tack a nut in place of the hole or you could drill through both tubes and use one long bolt, only things I can think of that doesn't involve some ugly --- jerry rigging. I guess you could try self-threading screws depending on how thick the...

Thanks for the info, I would've cleaned it vigorously of course but the LPD yall are talking about makes sense and sounds like it would be worth the extra $$.

Given the title I figured this was the best thread to ask this question. A buddy of mine recently totaled his 94 GMC sierra and he said I could have the trans cooler if I wanted it. My question is simply would this work? Is there anything "special" per say about the B&M trans coolers other...

Grabbed a set of matte gun metal sr8s earlier today feeling anxious and excited at the same time after I realized how much I spent but I'm sure I wont be disappointed!

well... Finished putting my lift and these upper control arms today then on the maiden voyage around the block my brother and I noticed a clunk as the wheel flexed pulling into my driveway which is a relatively steep hill. I'm PRETTY sure this is the suspect but who knows I could be...

Thanks for the reply probably gonna install them tomorrow, I put some 3 in 1 oil on them and let it soak then I was able to move them with a little leverage. I know you are supposed to use dry lube on these but I didn't want to purchase it for uniballs that might be seized.

I bought some of these today for $100 off a guy who never got the chance to install them. When I got home I noticed that the metal sleeve is actually a tad longer than the poly bushings and that the uniballs do not swivel in the housing. I assume the sleeve will be alright since its longer than...
