Can’t really tell the tire wear tbh. It’s been too recent from when i got the tires to when my rear and shit the bed. Only a couple hundred miles, if that. Did it put a whole new housing on yours? Sorry for the late response

So Ive been working on the rear end of my 01 4runner for a little while now trying to get it all fixed up. After a bunch of troubleshooting other the weeks I finally found out that my rear passenger side axle was chewed up at the splines along with a groove chewed into the differential where the...

2001 rear axle compatibility Hey all, so I have been searching for a new passenger side rear axle shaft for my 2001 4runner w/ ABS and I have found a couple options but I want to make sure it will work. I find a bunch of mixed answers on whether you can use early year 3rd gen rear axles for an...

Ok so Im going to revive this post hopefully.. sorry for a lapse in updates, just have been having a hard time finding time to work on it but here’s where i am. So we suspected it was the transfer case originally since we couldn't shift into gear and thats where the grinding noise was coming...

Gotcha, well that is music to my ears because this whole time I was thinking it was a transmission issue. Big savings money wise lol... Thanks for the input man!

Yeah that shop was a complete waste of time and money to get it towed there... Thanks for the input. I do wanna give a little update too. I was looking over stuff with my buddy and we are thinking it is a transfer case problem. When the 4wd shifter is in any gear (H or L4) and you try to shift...

I did actually use my neighbors code reader a couple days after it happened and it didn’t throw and codes unfortunately. Also no lights were thrown on. Not sure if it could still potentially be TPS related but damn would that be nice.

I was kind of thinking that as well but from my understanding, if the transfer was stuck in neutral, I should still be able to shift the trans into gear, just wouldn't go anywhere. Could be wrong though?

Yeah that's what I thought, didn't think it should be an issue. I don't really want to regear so this is nice to hear.. thanks!

Noted. I would want to stay stock gearing if possible for now just so I can save some money in the meantime. I will definitely debate re gearing later on, but if I can get by with stock gearing so I dont need to change the front that would be better. Will be doing some light off roading for now...

Gotcha, I will run through those soon when I get the time to. I appreciate the help man, hoping for the best here. I will post an update here when I check over everything!

Yeah, seriously was out of no where.. I drove it for about a week and a half with absolutely no issues presenting themselves other than some sway in the rear since I dont have the panhard bar at the correct angle yet. Did not hear any weird noises or rough gear shifts, it actually felt really...

Yeah that is a good point... how did they come to conclusion that the front was damaged when it wasn't even engaged. I think I will stick with stock gearing. Going to get it towed back home soon, drain it, and if it is just the rear diff, will just get a new one from east coast gear supply. Thanks!

Thanks for the input. When it first happened I thought it was a transmission issue as well so that's why I took it to the shop but they said it was the rear diff so that made me happy. Sure hope its not the trans cause I was having trouble finding a remanufactured trans/a fair priced trans...

About a month ago I threw on a whole lift kit along with 285/70/17s on my 2001 4runner. Everything was feeling smooth and wasn't noticing any problems until one night out of nowhere, about 2 weeks ago, my RPMs shot up while driving and I could no longer move. Cant get it into gear besides park...
