I finally got my 4Runner back at home, and out $150. I will give that a shoot tomorrow. Also got some grinding tools, hopefully something will work. Thank you

Hi there, I have finally run into first major problem with my 4Runner after 290k km and this one has really made me sweat:redbrick:. Hopefully somebody can help me here :p Looks like the tumblers have completely worn out and I cant even put my key into ACC, to take out the cylinder and take it...

Hi there, I unfortunatelly never had a chance to try those out or had any of my friends using them. Its been just over 3 years since original post and I can tell you the experience that I had with both Nittos on my 4Runner and BFG KO on my dads Landcruiser. We put them on our trucks at the same...

Hi everybody, I own a 2000 SR5 V6, and last winter there was a very loud ticking noise coming out my engine. It was as an diesel engine is under my hood, especially at warm up, it was like somebody had hammer against sheet of metal. Now that its warmer outside i dont hear the same noise, but...

I just got Nitto Terra Grap. put on my 4Runner. As i was getting a deal i ended up with 10 ply tire vs 4 ply which i originally wanted. 10 ply will just be little havier and harder(stiffer) tire producing stiffer ride or other things will be affected? Thanks for responding!!!!

Hi there, I had my rear axle lifted so i can check the noise thats coming from undercarige. I turned on the car, put it in drive. Now, as i was slowly aplaying brake( never fully locking the brake) i noticed that one wheel is spinning the oposite way :confused: . i am just wandering is this...

Ok thanks for info. Now i just got to confirm its them that are cousing that sound and i belive it is as i had my head right there and sounds is deffinitly coming from u joints. Ill go under car and check for movement as soon as i get home from work.

I got 218 000 km on it. And i lifted it up on the rear differential. is it easy to replace u-joints. And is it safe to drive like that for a bit?

Hi everybody, I own 2000 4runner sr5 Last night as i was coming to a stop in front of the house i heard sort of rotating clunking noice coming from underneath the car. Sound is kind of hard to describe it was more like squeling clunking noice. I lifted rear wheels off the ground and went...

This is awsome info. I really enjoyed your debate and both of you have solid points. As I said before I got REVOS on my truck and they are worn out both from on/off road. I had them on my truck for 3 years now (120k km) It is a really good tire but from my experience it is definettly not...

That is true Thai. I guess I just found REVOs little to hard as all season A/T tire with not agressive enough grip for snow and offroad ! Other then that it was money well spent on as you said high quality rubber

I found REVO's to be awsome for road and rain, for snow and ice they were little to hard, and for off road not agressive enough. Another thing is that after 1-2 year after u had them on your rig tire tends to get even harder. I did get almost 120k KM on it and still got 15 % left but tire is...

I have REVO`s on it right now and yes it is awsome tire for highway and city driving. My decision is going to be between Nittos and BFG. I think i might go with BFG as i wanna someting more agressive and belive BFG would be better in snow, and i wanna best tire for off road. Another nice thing...

Hi everybody, Just got 2" OME kit installed and love it, but now its time to replace my tires 265/70 R16. \My question is what would be best size up from this as i do some off roading? \Does anybody has any feedback on Nitto Terra tires? Or what tire you would recomend? Thanks all!!

Hi Everybody! I have my 2000 4 Runner SR5 in the garage and ready to replace front shocks with Bilstein hd2450 and OME 880. Also i am putting bilsteins in the rear. Is this good combination and should i also be looking into replacing rear leaf springs as well? Thank you:confused:
