It was quick and easy. Drop the skid plate, undo the bolts and nuts holding the old steering stabilizer in place, assemble new hardware as instructions suggest, and bolt new one up. No alignment needed!

I just replaced mine with a KYB steering stabilizer. The stock one still had life left in it, but the new one does a lot more! Went offroading the other day and usually the steering wheel jerks around as I go through stream beds and over rocky areas, but this time it stayed smooth and required...

I have the cluch start cancel switch and a clutch switch bypass toggle. Installed a remote starter and wanted to start it any time. Not just when I can push the button. It is fine to use it whenever, but if you leave it in gear it will wear out the starter and possibly the ring gear. I also...

I got a pic and I can write up a description. The steering stops are located on the lower control arms on either side of the lower ball joints. You can either grease the bolt like things on the steering knuckles or the stops on the control arm, or both. Both is a bit excessive as it wears and...

I don't know how to say where they are, but since they have been rubbing they will be shiny. Look at your running gear and everything that turns with the steering wheel. There will be a bolt on the front and rear of the steering hub/knuckle that will hit a piece of metal at full lock. I might be...

You could always do exhaust, intake, gearing, etc. The only problem is that the 3vze doesn't see much of an improvement from any of these. The K&N fuel injection performance kit gives you a 3 horsepower gain at 4500 RPM or something like that. I have it and don't notice anything other than the...

If you put grease on your steering stops (2 per front wheel) the popping will go away. Mine used to do that too.

I've got the standard truck and SUV twist link chains right now. The guys over at Yotatech don't seem to care about the use of front chains except when it comes to turning, which is where I'd expect to find a problem. I've considered the cables and they would work for street driving, but they'd...

With the storms finally moving into western Nevada, I'm thinking about getting a second set of tire chains for my 92 with 31X10.5X15LT tires. The owners manual says that chains shouldn't be installed on the front wheels. I figure that is due to clearance issues while turning. I think the...

Also check to see if the heater control valve is opening when you move the temp slider. It should be located under the hood on the firewall near the center. Black valve in line with a black rubber hose with a cable attached to the top. The outlet heater hose is also located next to the inlet hose.

Just make sure that your t4r doesn't have the clutch switch bypass button. My 92 has it on the far left side of the dash near the dash light dimmer. Pushing it allows the truck to be started while in gear whether the clutch is in or not. You might be able to wire the kill switch into the starter...

Before I got my T4R I drove a station wagon everywhere. On road, off road, in snow deeper than the bumper, you get the picture. Only got stuck twice and was able to use a shovel to get back out in 10 min or less. Granted, they were 4x4 Subarus. Drove my first one for 4 years and my second one...

I might be taking my 4runner from Nevada to Montana and back around Christmas time, so I want to get the easy stuff taken care of like spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor, etc. This is for a 92 with the 3.0 V6 3VZ-E. 1. What's the best brand/type of spark plugs to use? 2. Plug wires? 3. Cap'n...

They're probably spraying different colors because fluid going to the rear has a long way to travel and the reservoir was probably just refilled with the blue stuff, so the other color will eventually get all used up. The front washer pump is dead on mine, so I'm just replacing them both since...

Just after posting this one of my low beams burned out so I went ahead and did the swap today. Was very easy to do once you get access to the headlights. No cutting or splicing required and everything still looks stock. The lights will have to be adjusted down quite a bit, but thats not a bid...
