I am in the same situation. 270k miles. I almost changed the diff oil a few months ago but read something that made me glad I didnt. Was going to put synthetic in but read somewhere that a persons rear bearing failed shortly after. If I decide to change, I will put exact stock replacement, not...

boots drained. I have driven about 10k miles and no leaks. might be overthinking but the results look good.

I bought a 260k mile 4runner and its rack was leaking. it was mainly leaking out the drivers side. I drove it and kept replacing the fluid. it would leak a small puddle on floor daily. anyway...I decided, since I had a bunch of bottles of transmission fluid from years ago, to flush the system...

I use partsouq.com for their diagrams. usually order other places. that part can be bought in bulk on amazon

I recently couldnt program mine due to a clip not seated. was working on rear window and didnt fully seat one of the power clips in the door. thought the battery was dead in the fob. tried reprogram. didnt work. found the clip. then the fob worked fine. maybe one of your door locks isnt...

how did the tires tell you the right pressure? chalk? or after time?

this!!! thanks. I had no idea there was this calculator. much appreciated Original tire (P225/75R15 SL 102) has a load capacity of 1797 pounds @ 32 psi. New tire (P265/70R17 SL 113) has load capacity of 2194 pounds @ 26 psi. P265/70R17 tire has sufficient load capacity at its specified...

I'll try 32 psi but the door specifies my original 15" wheels with the original 10% smaller overall diameter compared to now. does the change from 225/75r15 32psi translate to 32psi on 265/70r17?

ocd? tire question. I was driving on the highway and it felt like my tires were over inflated. quick, erratic. I plan on doing the "chalk test" but was wondering what others are running with similar setups. setup: 1999 4runner 2wd full tank new: balljoints, tierodends, alignment 17" 5th gen...

thanks for that link. yes, looks like that pic is 4cyl diff. am I reading that right...? that: "4cyl diffs are swappable with the V6 and high pinion diffs." so that picture of 4cyl diff will fit into v6 carrier?

Found this setup. Guy says it’s “It’s an 8” IFS Toyota from truck or 4 runner 1986 to ? (Not sure). Can you guys tell from images if that diff will fit into a 99 rear? It looks like the axle isn’t the same.

I just found my rattle. hood hinge. my hood would bounce near the wipers +/- 1/2" when driving under 10mph. I put 2 rubber pieces, like a hose, that are about 1/2" thick under the holes in the hood where the wiper sprayers are. after this test I decreased the thickness and only the right hinge...

if money was of no concern then Tims easy switch out is the best option. but that gear costs 4x what I paid for this 4runner! ha. I got a great deal. so...the 4.56 will drop in? will aftermarket gears work on my 3.90? Whats the most cost effective route to get 4.3-4.8 gearing?
