    How many miles on your 4runner?

    Good for you! Knocking on your back door with 392,000. Original owner with just 12 back in October 2000, so all those miles are mine!

    Rock Rat's Imperial Jade Mica "Next Adventure" Build

    Steering Rack Install Hey everyone, so I just had to replace my steering rack after almost 400K miles. OEM of course! I've had it out before to replace the bushings with poly's. I also rebuilt it with new inner and outer TR ends at the time. The removal and install is pretty straight forward...

    Oregon Backcountry Discovery Route 2017 Planning

    Been a while since I've been on here. I poke my head in and out once in a great while. Good to hear from you. The OBDR is a "maybe" for me this year. After I hung up my boots from coaching soccer for so many years, I've been spending most of my time with my first love - hiking and...

    Got some old Sequoia wheels, should I do anything to them?

    I'm running 3/4" BORA wheel adapters in the front only with blue (medium strength) Loctite. A small bit of trimming on the wheel well liner. It very slightly rubs on the lower part of the frame when off-roading. 285/70R/17's Nitto's on a 2" body lift - Perfect fit. No spacers (adapters) in...

    Replace Axles with OEM Boots or Extended Boots

    Late response I know. been on a short hiatus for a while. Yes, you're correct. I bought a set of OEM axles from the salvage yard and I just keep them rebuilt ready to go as needed. For the record, the OEM boots have been OK so far without stretching or anything else. Going on a few years...

    I think a brake caliper is seizing

    As simple as this may sound, start with the easy stuff first. 1 - Bring your rig in for a tire rotation and a balance. If anything the guy may come to you and say "Hey did you know that you need...so and so?" Free diagnostics! If it's a stuck piston, they're easy to replace and fairly...

    Power Stop Brake Calipers Hey guys, figured I'd poke my head in here and say hey. Hey! Yea it's been a while. I've been busy with life and I found out that I spent far too much time on here so decided to take a break for a bit. I do have some important info to post regarding the Power...

    Awning recommendations?

    Not sure if you have a rack or not. If you do then take a look at my review here - ARB 2500 I also have the room addition and use it as my tent. If you don't have a rack I always thought Hungwin had the best and affordable awning. Here's his link Hungwin's Awning setup. Give him credit if...
