Installed a new shift boot cover and center console lid. This 1993 only has 164K on it....so nice. This rig runs like new and is in such great shape all over. I got some 32" BFG KO2's on it now...nice with those 2019 take off wheels. It needs a new shift knob and a rear side...

Got the winter rims and tires on. Tundra split spoke 17" rims with brand new BFG K02's in a 255 75/R17 size. 32x10 or so. I like them better than the new 2019 4runner snowflake take offs. Have a great day all!

Posted a couple days ago about many wires being broke in rear hatch interchange area. Had 6 broken wires and 4 that were bare...:banana: Rear defrost, plate lights, 3rd brake light and wiper were non functional yo. Glad to say after today we are back to fri-kin-mint. I soldered all 6 breaks then...

I have 17" "snowflakes" from the 2020 5th gens on this 1996. I did the Tundra brake mod so these fit those calipers well. Tire size is 255 75R 17.

Loving seeing all these cool mods we are all doing. I replaced the non functioning motorized antenna with a solid one today. I am doing the sound system as I post this so I needed to get it working. Pretty easy, just have to remove a bit of stuff to route the new cable. Once I had the old one...

So while working on a place to install the XM satellite radio antenna today, I found this.....no wonder the rear 3rd brake light and plate lights are not working. In fact it is a wonder that anything is working back there. 5 complete severed wires and at least 3 with exposed wires. Well another...

Taking advantage of a nice weather day to get on that new sound system install. Ripping out all the old to get ready for the new...Should be here later today. Great time to replace some instrument lights, work on that shifter bushing and detail up behind all the dash stuff. New Sony all digital...

Check the interior color code on the vin sticker in the drivers door well.

Headlight upgrade to 1999 model lights. Much nicer looking and clear as a bell. Very bright as well, kicks butt over my old worn stock '96 lights. They are a direct bolt in and wire connect as well!! I also put in my order for a super nice sound system today...cannot wait to install that. The...

A angle grinder, 1/2 impact driver and a big breaker bar have been my best friends lately working on all this suspension stuff.:whipping2

I used a c clamp type pusher. I got in off Amazon for about $39.00 it was the 4wd model and it worked great. I did end up cutting off a couple inches of the stem of the ball joint to allow the c clamp to fit over all the adapters and cups. Took a bit of effort with a 1/2" breaker bar put was...

I have them on my 1996 runner. SAWEET! Better clearance with my skinny 32" tires and they give the 1" added down travel. Look great and install was easy.They have a new bushing design that is made by them now. It has groves in the outside face to help with bushing "push out" I use a HP moly...

Hi there. Any particular reason you are dreading the install? I just did JBA UCA's a couple days a go and the install went great. The only part that was even hard was the ball joint removal and that just took some force with the puller to get out. Hope you have good luck.

Finished up my front end today!! Tundra brake mod with the big 13wl and 231mm rotors. Have 17" snowflakes to clear all that no problem. New bilstein 5100 shocks inside OME 2880 coils on the 2nd perch. JBA UCA's to hold it all together. Also did new mounts and urethane bushings in the sway bar as...

Kept on going with the rust control up front. I don't just shoot it with a spray. I have a process. Wire wheel on a angle grinder to get the big stuff. Cordless drill with a wire wheel to get into a bit smaller areas. Dremel with a little wire wheel. Hand brush with a very stiff wire brush...
