I just did the manual hub conversion about two months ago. You could do what Dezert4Runner and buy piece by piece and cobble it together. I think you would want the 1st gen tacoma spindle put into the 3rd gen 4runner steer knuckle to keep the ABS. It could be priced out one way or the other. I...

Bump

I bought this Morimoto projector kit last year and I have decide to go another direction. It's a complete kit. I opened the box to look inside, but never touched the contents otherwise. Everything in the kit is listed in the picture. $250 shipped, firm.

I would like to know more about those front lower control arms on that 4runner pictured. I can't find them on your website. Are the lower control arms in production?

I would say it depends. If the 4runner's rear alignment is out of square then steps are needed to re-square the rear axle. The only way to square the axle is with the adjustable lower control arms and adjustable pan hard. First, adjust the pan hard so the axle is centered. Second, adjust the...

I had them rebuild my toyota cv axles and I also bought a spare cv axle from them. I am going to purchase a steer rack from them when I have a place to install the rack. CVJ Axles in renown around Denver for there work and I have randomly heard their name from out of state people.

I had all the same issues you described with my 4runner after the lift. This has been my experience: All the rear control arms and tolerances are set for factory height. When a 4runner is lifted the angle of the control arms change, rear axle moves forward, and the tolerances are exaggerated...

I have the Toyo Open Country MT 255/86r16. They have been a great tire and incredibly tough.

I say do it! Get yourself a good welder, use the gas and not the flux core. I bought a 4runner and a few months later ended buying a welder. Make/buy yourself a good table. Place the bumper on the table and start piecing it together. I recommend welding the bumper on the table and not on the...

I would be interested.

My opinion would be 5.29 with your current 4runner. Check-out Expeditions West Tacoma. That truck is running 255/85/16 tires, an automatic and 5.29 gears. I would also go with he local shop for the re-gearing. Setting up a differential is not difficult and the local guy would be more than...

I had those same symptoms from milage 145,000 to 155,000 or so. I thought it was a TO bearing. (I am not a mechanic) Actually, I am pretty sure the TO bear makes noise when the clutch is pressed in. Anyways, I bought the Marlin HD clutch and took out the transmission. I felt the input shaft...

Check all the vacuum hose. The vacuum hose get old, brittle, and can leak/break. Next, check the vsv vacuum switching valve on the driver side wheel well under the hood. Lastly, if the 4x4 light is not illuminating in the dash, it is not getting an electrical signal from the front differential...

Thanks for the help. It looks like I did not have the TDC aligned between the camshafts and crank. I had the camshafts at TDC but not the crank. I have inconsistent lighting where I am working and my crank didn't have the paint mark to help identify TDC, so I had gone off another mark thinking...
