Snowbound shock skids are “cheap” insurance for sure (about $120 a pair). I have scuffed up my lower shocks a bit and had to replace the washers too. Hoping the snowbound skids will help. Not gunna lie, rear panel body armor is for sure tankesque. Literally looks like tank armor! Never seen...

I made the mistake of over torquing the LBJ bolts in my 2002 to 59 ft-lbs and after posting to the forum, folks suggested buying new bolts and torquing them to the correct 37 ft-lbf. I went this route since the bolts are designed to be "on-and-done", basically they were over stretched at 59...

Over the last year I have been installing body armor on my 3rd gen 4runner. Currently, I have the following: - Bud Built Front Skid Plate - Bud Built Belly Pan - Bud Built Rear Diff Skid - Lil' Skips Gas Tank Skid - RCI Lower Control Arm Skids - All Pro Rock Sliders - Lotus Rear Control Arm...

Just giving my input here. I don’t know about bolt slider so I’ll tell you about the sliders I had installed. I bought the All Pro sliders for $310. I had them welded on by a mobile welder for $300. I probably paid “too much” for the welder, but I’m happy with the results. Strong, sturdy, and...

Didn't think to bring the washer to ACE. What about the OEM Toyota washer vs Grade 8 washer from Ace? There are about $6.00 each from Toyota. I'm certain they are a few dollars at Ace. I'm guessing Grade 8 and OEM will be similar quality? Thanks in advance. EDIT: Found grade 8 washers at ACE...

I'm replacing the rear lower shock washer, it's in rough shape. I ordered PN: 90948-03011 but the inner diameter is too big, the bolt falls right through. I am looking for the correct part number. I'll post some pictures below. Does anyone know the correct part number for this washer? Planning...

They won’t mount directly to the roof basket, I had to modify mine with 1x1in aluminum square tubing. Basically drilled holes through to tubing of the basket rack and the square aluminum. Secured them with bolts and nuts for secure fit. That’s the only way I could get J-hooks mounted, was...

I currently have a cheap roof "basket" off Amazon and I bolted two 1x1in aluminum bars that I use to mount my J-hooks to. Here is a picture of my setup.

Thanks mtbtim for your help and replying to this thread. Your videos (and Shawn’s) have been a major tool I’ve used for almost every maintenance job I’ve done on my 4Runner’s. Lower ball joints, new suspension for lift, ARB bumper install, timing belt water pump job, JBA UCA...

The breather is able to move and is NOT stuck. I didn't take it off, just moved it around with my hand, and it's freely spins and moves. This "leaking" issue has made me start to think about the possibility of getting new seals, bearings, and drum brakes. Not sure when the last time it was...

I am not 100% sure it's gear oil (I was making an assumption based on visual evidence). It's not sprayed radially like other leaking seals, so I'm wondering if it started leaking after driving and parking it. I only drive it on the weekends, sometimes every-other-weekend. I checked the master...

I am pretty certain it was not low when draining it. I just drained out all the fluid, at least 2.5-3 quarts. Which is what my Rear diff 4WD w/ locker FSM states for capacity (2.9 quarts). The axel DID NOT hiss when I opened up the rear diff fill or drain plug. So rear diff was not under any...

I recently drained and refilled my rear diff in my 2002 3rd gen. I do not have the greatest area to work from, so when refilling the rear diff, the vehicle was facing uphill (the rear diff was downhill). I filled it up until gear oil started flowing out of the fill hole, but squeeze a bit more...

Thanks for the info, yeah I didn't think about a dash swap. I am trying to get her to send more pictures. I will probably just go have a look at it, see if it has front differential and other 4wd parts. Thanks for the help!

These pictures are from a SR5 2000 4Runner. These lights do not look on, but just illuminated by the sun. Basically I’m asking if the 2WD 4Runners have the placeholder for the RR Diff Lock light and 4WD lights (even though the lady selling claims it’s 2WD) Shared album - brock tubre - Google...
