    Ignition Switch Going Bad?

    Dang, forgot to provide update. Ended up simply being dirty terminals and possibly a frayed terminal ground. Dont forget to keep your terminals clean yall!

    Retrofitted Heated Mirrors

    Looking at buying a 97 4runner that has power mirrors that aren't functional. Just found out that 97 also didn't come with heated mirrors, which is a big deal for me, as I park outside, it has 35s, and I work snow. How involved would a retrofit be to get the heated mirrors working? I imagine...

    Ignition Switch Going Bad?

    Update: I've gotten my battery tested. Despite being 5 years old, it's still good. Got the terminals cleaned, but I haven't put it back to test it all out. My key is fairly new. I had a ton of copies made a few years ago as my OEM key broke at the key ring location. Rig just passed 300k this...

    Ignition Switch Going Bad?

    Hello, Lot of different things out there and the symptoms list is a little vague on the internet so I was curious what you guys thought. I just had this start today: put the key into the ignition, door chime sounded, turned to auxiliary, door chime turned off, no lights on the dash (not even...

    3G4R Rear Coils Longer Travel Needed

    27" flare to hub. iirc. I have no rear bumper, no tow hitch providing like, no weight in the rear to pull it back down. It was a lot more reasonable when I had a swingout/bumper. 6? it's been way too long to remember where I started. My rear axle turned in corners for my own version of Nissan's...

    3G4R Rear Coils Longer Travel Needed

    Super late, but for any wayward travelers such as myself that find themselves here: there are multiple land cruiser front coils that work with the back of a 3rd gen. 8 wraps, which I have, netted me 6-7" of lift. I believe there is a 7 wrap that would be a little lower. The 80 series coils ride...

    Brake Line Extension

    Mine is an 02 so there are 2 lines. Bracket has already been bent down. I have probably around 12" of travel (26.5" long shocks at extension, 16.8" at compression). The extended lines are being yanked at droop. I imagine I have more travel than they're allowing tbh. Hopefully these show without...

    Brake Line Extension

    This has been gone through a few times but none related to my circumstances. Do you need to extend brake lines proportionally to your shock length? I'm 7" longer than factory shock length. My Toytec extended lines are getting bodied and seem to be my only looking factor. Rather than add...

    Overflow Tank

    I'll be waiting for a new Denso to arrive and bumming cars for now. Not worth a risk. My other car decided to drop all clutch fluid over night so I'm waiting on parts for that as well

    Overflow Tank

    I get how it works. I'd like to note I've literally never seen coolant in my overflow tanks at operating temps so I was wondering how often it even comes into play. I'll have to contact Mishimoto and see if they're dumb or if it was an unfortunate mess up that happened 2 years ago with casting

    Overflow Tank

    Couldn't find a thread about this specifically so here goes BACKGROUND Bought a Mishimoto rad 2 years ago to replace my leaky OEM. Leak was a drop here or there, mostly came out during pressure test. Didn't install the Mishimoto until this weekend. Turns out, the overflow nipple isn't cast...

    Rear Link Mounts Misshapen

    Hey y'all, I've been having a recurring issue with fishtail behavior in my rear end. A while back, it was than my lower link bolts weren't all the way tightened, which I found odd as it was about as tight as I could get em (no, I didn't use a torque wrench, just a really long one with a wrench...

    Brake Line Lengths

    I bent the bracket long ago and unfortunately it's an 02. Two lines. I've been meaning to check length but haven't got to it. I'm currently on the 20" extended lines from Toytec but they're not quite enough

    Brake Line Lengths

    Honestly my pedals are super soft as it is (hopefully the new brake pads and a bleed will help) and my rear seals haven't been able to stay seals for more than a year at a time so I'm not entirely worried about it. I did find out the shoes sorta work when I heard them groaning on a trail, but...

    Brake Line Lengths

    Hey yall, I'm posting to pick your brains about brake line lengths. I currently have the Toytec 20" rear lines and I'm currently flexing more than they can take. In fact they've sort of been acting as limiting straps (I need to get some it seems) I'm going to need to go actual custom length...
