I have a 1987 4Runner that I'm planning on doing a SAS using an 80 series axle. I have the entire axle and frame which means coils and shocks are available. Has anyone attempted doing a swap and kept the coils rather than going with a leaf spring IFS eliminator kit? I've tried searching and I...

I've been trying to find a new or used driver's side knuckle assembly for my '87 SR5. That wheel currently has a significant amount of camber and the alignment shop I took it to speculated that the knuckle may be bent as they didn't think any amount of adjusting would bring it into spec. I'm...

Very interested. Been a couple years since my last Moab trip. With my work schedule I could be there from Friday night through Monday.

I have a 2003 V8, bought at 198k miles and currently at 220k miles. Since owning it I've done multiple 3+ hour trips to Moab and southern Utah, sometimes towing my side by side without any issues. I also drove it 10 hours to southern California in June. AC blasting while it was over 100 degrees...

Well, it looks like I have an extra clock spring. I bought one from a guy who pulled it from a GX, then he sent an eBay message saying he changed his mind and a PayPal refund was pending. So I went ahead and bought a Chinese unit and installed it. Mail shows up today and the GX clock spring...

I'm in the same situation. 220k miles and I'm not sure if the trans fluid has ever been changed. I just got 12 quarts of Toyota type IV and I'm planning on doing several drain and fills. The trans dipstick says there's no need to change the fluid but I do a lot of towing. After that will be the...

I did my spiral cable install today, surprisingly straight forward. I also noticed today that my auto window function started working again without having to re-sync them. I'm wondering if it recalibrates automatically if you drive around enough with everything closed so it can relearn where the...

I'll be replacing mine on Saturday with an eBay unit. It controls the airbag, volume controls, horn, and cruise control.

Didn’t touch the center console. I’m pretty sure it’s the spiral cable.

Yeah, planning on it today. The weird thing is that I had my battery disconnected a bunch when I was wiring my lights and this is the first time I’ve had the auto function stop working.

I'm pretty sure I damaged my spiral cable doing my lift which would explain the airbag light.

I got it from fat Pat's, I think he's a T4R member. The worst part was doing the steering extension.

1.5" body lift and a new battery installed. After I got the battery done my airbag light came on and none of my auto up or down window controls are working. Anyone have any ideas?

Killer deal. I paid $6k for mine with 40k more miles and I feel like I got an awesome deal.
