Looks like you did not get any response. What did you end up going with? I just had a CV fail on my today for the first time while wheeling.

My experience FWIW. I run with about 200lbs extra, constant. I originally went with the OME 890's packaged with the Toytec 3" lift. I was happy for about 8k miles. They eventually softened up and the rear sag that the 3rd gens are known for came on. I swapped them out for the 891's and they...

Jordons being modest. His 4Runner gets stares on every highway it's running on.

I tip my hat to you for diving in and doing it. I really need to do mine but so far I've been a big chicken. I'm getting closer to convincing myself to pull the trigger but still have cold feet. Agreed that Tim and Sean's videos are the gold standard, we are very lucky to have that resource...

I'm with TheDurk. I installed a Sony double din in my '98 and had no issue using the factory brackets that were on the original unit. Bolted right up. Only slight trouble I did have was fitting the Alpine amp I added since the factory amp goes away due to incompatibility. There just wasn't a...

I'm running the x20 10k on mine yes. AoR hybrid. I mounted the solenoid in the optional side mount position and because of my body lift I only had to dremmel just a tiny piece of the grill to clear the solenoid. Barely even noticable. But the winch is a tight fit and I did need to buy shorter...

Tony in my 4Runner I use one of the reflective 'circular to square' collapsible kind. It was rated as Small I believe but I bought it a long time ago somewhere. I do have one of the custom fitted roll ups from Toyota Parts for another Toyota I own (a Prius) and it's very nice. The only issue...

Ryder man I'm sorry this happened to you and to your Runner. Very glad to hear you are safe. I have no doubt you will be back with another 4Runner. Keep us posted bud. My fingers are crossed for you on finding a 'barn find' diamond replacement!!

Oba Added this a while back. ViAir Heavy Duty. Purchased the boxed 'complete OBA system' but by the time you custom install it where you want it you've spent quite a bit more in additional parts to get it all in place.

With cable. I don't see the synthetic rope version on sale with them that the OP bought. So you're not being 'that guy'.... ;) That's a phenomenal buy good looking out. Kudos to them for honoring the mistake. I bought the same winch from them for $430 a while back when Amazon had it on sale...

Let me know what kind of issues I should look out for? Before putting it on I researched doing a BL pretty extensively and came to the conclusion after reading from vast experience out there that 2" was fine on a stock 3rd gen. 3" is where the issues begin with needing to extend fittings and...

It gets the job done nicely. Keeps my 33's off the fender corners in all stuff and flex situations with the 2" puck clearance. I get it, you're not in the BL camp - whatever. But they have a place in the sport and the rig handles just fine. Even with just the 3" suspension lift my tires rubbed...

My time came... Rear bearings and seals. It's been too long since my last post. A busy and hectic year with life and work but did find some time to make the occasional trip and do some maintenance. Just haven't had a chance to post. The biggest job in the last few months was the rear axle...

Say allo to my leetl fren....! :lasercannon:

Jordan did you end up going back to original calipers ? I feel a bit the same way with the 199mm TBU I did to my '98. I've never been overly impressed with the mod. I'm contemplating going up to the 231mm but frankly I'm always more concerned with the long brake pedal travel and I'm still going...
