4.88

Would love to sell the set, but will separate. Gear setup done by East Coast Gear Supply. Front diff has ARB locker and solid spacer. $1700 I can include brand new factory front mounts for additional $100 Rear had new wheel bearings and seals done at install. Double drilled flange. The shocks...

So my 4Runner got totaled. wondering if anyone near Denver knows of a place I could put it for a while to part it out. Not sure how much of the suspension will be usable, but the 4.88s and lockers are hopefully fine.

I love driving with the sunroof open. But at 6' 1" I am always brushing my head on the headliner covering the track. It's the single most annoying thing about my truck.

I only had to cut one out when I replaced the bushings in my LCA's. It wasn't too bad. If all four of them are frozen it may take a while to get the job done. I'm curious if anyone has any experience with this tool: https://www.amazon.com/Specialty-Products-40915-Camber-Extractor/dp/B00BURHGOU...

I had a similar sound before adding a second anti rattle spring to my front brake pads.

I got my 13wl calipers from Napa. One had the small metric bleeder. The other had a SAE sized repair insert installed in it. Autozone had an assortment pack of regular bleeders that I bought to figure it out with. Anybody need a pile of random sized bleeders?

I'd take a drivers side mount.

I've run about 7k since my upgrade. Napa Eclipse calipers/black G2 paint Seems like a good bet. I wish I ordered the toyota hardware kit though. The springs needed rebent to fit and don't seem all that secure. The bleed valves were different sizes on the calipers. One was 8x1.00 and the other...

I recently put 255/75/17 Cooper S/T Maxx on. Was previously on 265/70/16 Cooper M+S. I immediately noticed less stability and tracking at speeds over 50 mph. Rear end waggle over big bumps and expansion joints definitely increased. I haven't chalked the new tires yet, so inflation may be part of...

The rear shoes self adjust when you pull the parking brake handle. If the linkages and adjusters are moving freely just actuate the handle 15-20 times and they are set. It's a matter of getting the star adjuster to rotate to the point where the shoes won't move out another full tooth on the...

I am thinking of using the "frames" from collapsible windshield screens. They seem to bend to about a three inch degree radius pretty easily. I've not decided between cutting the sun reflecting parts out and replacing with screen, or just using the rods and making the whole thing. Then they...

I've heard these are available in two different back spacing options. Any idea which one you got? They look great.

Does anyone have a preferred brand for nicer quality ties? Ones with rounded corners on the latching block, that maintain some flexibility (don't get brittle and snap in 6 months)? I'm looking for both 6-8 inch general purpose and higher strength 18-24 inch styles.

Getting the heads checked for cracks if you go the valve job route is a good idea in my opinion. However magnaflux won't work because they are aluminum. Dye penetrant is the NDT method you're after. If it were my truck, I'd probably just get a used head off of car-parts.com for $150 and slap...
