it's really not hard, make sure you have 2 people though, makes it a lot easier. Putting the T4R on jack stands makes it easier too. Drop the spare, remove the factory tie downs Put the bar up to the frame, put the capsulated nuts in closer to the engine where there's a hole, should be 3 bolts...

K, painted and put the center caps back on, jingle is ever so faint now, that I won't worry about it. Thanks! now onto fix little gremlins in it, such as the clogged filters and perhaps an injector cleaning... and I think I'm gonna build a grill guard.

So how do I pop those dust caps off on the hubs? How do I do it without mangling the cap? 1 more reason I don't like IFS... I'm a SFA guy... But, it's not with my head out the window, I always drive with the windows down and the AC off. Just windows up in the AM and by lunch time it's windows...

About that, maybe a little worse. You have to have your head out the window or be really listening to hear it. it started when I pulled the center caps and left them off to paint it, so I think maybe the dust cap is jingling lose? I'm putting the center caps back on later today. It sounds very...

Wouldn't his tire have gone flat?

I called my mechanic whose also my neighbor, he stopped on the way home and looked at it, he kicked the tire a few times and got it to happen. It's coming from the front hub, the dust cap is lose. It does it on both sides on mine, and the roads in Abq NM are rough so it jingles no matter what...

Alright I'll back them off. The shop installed them with what I believe to be a 3/4" impact... They were well into the 200's.

1996 SR5 4runner base, new wheel spacers (3/16") and cragar soft 8's with stock 265/70R16 It had no odd sounds, no nothing when I had the new cragar swapped on, but I pulled off the fronts to remove the center caps that the shop put on (paint them black and put it back on later) I bent my...

They fit just fine, no rubbing, no rubbing the calipers, nothing, just good working and looking Cragar soft 8's Here's pitures

You posted? Lemme see Oh dangit! I honestly didn't see that... So now I have summit wheels that'll be mounted in the AM so I can't return them... Uh oh!!

Crap..... http://www.toyota-4runner.org/showthread.php?threadid=42230 I guess I was advised wrong? I wish I could go back to stockers but can't find them anywhere.

Thanks guys, I'm just throwing around some plans for now, I got the new Cragar soft 8's with 5" back space in 16x8, and, they rub the front calipers so I'll need to do some wheel spacers :bash: I'll wait till the 265/70's it has wears out, their LTX MS and tho not too grippy, I guess they'll do...

Could I fit 265/75?

I have a 1996 4runner SR5 with the 3.4L, not a limited, no sun roof, just plain jane in 4wd. 95k miles on it too. What coils did I end up with? Bad ones? What was stock tiresize? The spare is like a lot smaller than the 265,70,R16 Michelin LTX it came with. I'd also like to sell off the almost...

Plastic skirt thing under the front bumper, I know them as air dam, could be a valence or skirt or something?
