Hey Flips did this prove to be a solution that held up over time? Getting an ammonia smell from my 05’ 6cyl when accelerating hard up hill.

Hey can you tell me who you bought this from? Need to do the same … Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Finally got a not blazing hot & humid morning here in Va. Good day to take some coffee outside and hit the T4r3 with some polish. She still shines up nicely I think... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Before you go down other more expensive fixes try seeing if you can make the vibration stop by putting it in 4wd. I had similar vibes at the speeds mentioned and another forum member pegged the issue for me with this suggestion. If 4wd stops the vibe then this is what you need...

I’d keep looking. My personal experience is that with that much rust on the rear diff... you’ll be fighting it in lots of other places. Bolts that break and round easily, pointless exercises with broken bolt removal kits that usually don’t work, rust flakes in your eyes, PB blaster stink and POR...

Toyotas are rock solid. My 99 4runner only has 150k on it but I just bought an 03’ Tundra with over 200k (and a brand new frame- thanks Toyota!) and I swear it is nicer than a lot of the 5-10 year trucks I was looking at initially. I would jump into either and drive to the opposite coast or down...

99 talls are great but 99% of the time those of us who initially lift our trucks “just a little bit” end up paying for yet another setup later as our build plans change over time. Take it from someone who has bought/sold/ bought again many lift kits over the years...You might consider going with...

Running 275 70 17 BFG ATs on these Trail wheels. Handles beautifully on and off road. If you are going to wheel hard enough that the 1” difference matters then you prolly need beadlocks anyhow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did a couple days of work / testing before I did the grey wire mod ( named for the wire that is grey on a Tacoma but it is the blue/ red wire on our 4runners) but it was a PITA constantly shifting through to 4wd low etc. the mod took minutes and was so worth it. I’m guessing you could drive...

So I got it off today. I believe that the primary issue in removing it was that the stud on the top of the unit was frozen into the top hole in the actuator motor. I soaked the whole thing with PB Blaster for a couple of days and sprayed as much as I could up into the gap that I had established...

I’m struggling to free the locker motor but am afraid to force it much more. All of the retaining nuts & bolts are out and I have been hosing it down with PB Blaster and tapping and prying, but it is stuck in the state you can see in the pics below. I read that you should tap it from both sides...

So I’m doing the math to try and see if a set of Tacoma pull-offs will fit my truck and I’m pretty sure it’ll work, but it does make me wonder ...why is it that both the tire and the wheel manufacturers mix metric and English systems? The tire is measured in metric width and height but then an...

I have OME 906s in the rear and Toytec Boss coilivers up front. Sits about 2” over stock and clears the 275 70 r17 BFG AT KO2s just fine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good to know - thanks! Do you know anything about these trucks? Anything to inspect closely that is vehicle specific(beyond rust & plastic timing chain guides)? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh and what kind of value / range do you think would be appropriate if the description proves to be true? The owner claims... *1988, 22R engine, manual trans. *Rust free *156K miles he is asking $3400 which seems high to me. If it checks out I thought Id shoot for $2500 cash. Thoughts?
