    Front Truetrac / Yukon 4.88 / Driveshaft ftment issue!

    This had become quite an issue for me when I installed the TruTrac I purchased from Randys Ring and Pinion. Not that it was Randys fault but the Trutrac is not really designed for our 4runners. I did quite a bit of research after I couldn't get mine to work. I was not doing the install myself...

    drum to disc brake conversion

    Everything was stock...I would have to go in what seemed like every year and a half for a break job and every other time at least needed new rotors...they would bring out the old ones just to thin to turn them. Ever since I have done the Tundra mod...same rotors same brake pads for the last 3...

    drum to disc brake conversion

    I blew through my front rotors like crazy untilI finally wised up and did the Tundra upgrade.

    Vibrating heat shield driving me nuts!

    Exactly same issue with mine...the top shield lifted right off once I found it. No more annoying tinny rattle.

    A suspension question for engineers

    I have replaced every single component of my front end and still suffer from the same jumping/bouncing/horizontal effect when I hit any kind of bump while driving. Tires rotated and balanced and alignment within the last month and still there. I just assumed its a minor flaw in the design that I...

    Would you mod at 200K miles?

    I don't mean to jack the thread so I apologize up front. I did not know there was a heater in the rear? Is this on every 4-runner or just specific models? I am assuming the models that have heat/ac coming out the back of the center counsel. As a side note to the OP I had about 250,000 on mine...

    Randys Ring and Pinion

    All, I was and am still quite disappointed with Randys Ring and Pinion. I have not tried to call and contact the head guy as I spent enough time and energy tracking down what the issue was already to no avail with customer support or technical guys there. As a full time graduate student taking...

    Randys Ring and Pinion

    Kid, Randy's did not ship the diffs pre-built. I ordered the front and rear LSD's from them when I was having my truck re-geared. As I have found from a few sources the front LSD can be installed easily enough however those who have more expertise with toyota diff installs such as the shop I...

    Randys Ring and Pinion

    Nevada, Thank you for your opinion, I just read through your build thread and it seems like you have had good luck with Randys. As I said in another reply on here I had a a good experience with their customer service guy however that did not extend to their technical guy. I am happy you had a...

I should be studying for my gross anatomy midterm but your build thread was just to tempting....besides endless hrs of dissection videos of...

    Randys Ring and Pinion

    I called the main number off of their website. To be fair the customer service guy I spoke with was very helpful. It wasn't until I spoke with their tech department that things went awry. They INSISTED it was the correct application as they read on the forums two threads where they were...

    Sonoran Steel 1.2 vs. Toytec Ultimate Lift Kit

    I had the Toytec Ultimate kit and loved it...however the rear end never rode high enough...always seemed like it was dragging below the front. It rode great on the road and decent offered but the rear wheels would always jam up in the wheel wells. I switched to the SS1.2 rear end about 10 months...

    Randys Ring and Pinion

    My apologies, Guys sorry for the lack of paragraphs....just about to wrap up grueling 2 weeks of midterms tomorrow in graduate school and my brain is a bit fried. What you read was a quick dump of words on the screen.

    Randys Ring and Pinion

    I am confused, what do you mean by that statement? Thanks

    Randys Ring and Pinion

    Nevada I get what your saying but ultimately they sold me the wrong part not made for our vehicle....it would have NEVER been installed improper or not had they not erroneously sold me the wrong part.
