Bump - Just a reminder that SPC ball joints are junk.

SPC installed 11/16 - needed a new drivers side 11/2018. I probably could have greased them more often- I chalk this one up to me. Installed 2 new BJ's 11/21 and now year later they are toast- this set I greased every 5k (on my oil change schedule), to avoid having issues again. Not super...

Just doing it the way I was taught decades ago- was told it stops the res from over flowing?

Bro - you gotta take the cap off the brake fluid reservoir, so it can take back pressure from pushing in the brake pot with the C-clamp Rarely do calipers seize and if they do, they can be rebuilt easy. There are only couple rubber seals in there and that's it. Your Toyota caliper is approx...

Not thread size, nor caliper related but covers a lot of what you might wrench on. Thought this list of Torque Specs and bolt sizes might help some inmates here. Full List of Suspension Torque Specs For the 5th Gen 4Runner

Totally agree with OP- having lived in the mtns for 20 years. You'll be pulling into a frozen parking lot, slowing down appropriately and then boom the ABS sense a slip and instead of helping it adds extra feet to your stopping distance. It feels like the pedal as it's depressed suddenly...

Update, finally got the right belt which is 2649MM long OD. I think the 03 has a slightly different alternator pulley then the other V8 years. All is good - this thing rips. When I jump in my 5th gen it's just not the same.

All Supercharger Brothers, who would have thought getting some tech help from Toyota would be so difficult. Had the rig at the dealer for differential axle seal and asked them to find a new belt, and/or tell me the specified length. Instead, all they told me was the Toyota part was...

Looks like some serious plans for the new rig. Getting right into the hammer and torch part, I like it. There is no better pizza in the world than Santaniello's Glenlord Pizzaria - I lived on Glenlord road right down the street as a kid. So was surprised to see "Stevensville" as your location.

Lift Supports | Gas Struts & Springs | Lift Supports Depot You can purchase exact same struts here that you will get from the ladder people, who used to charge double. At least that's what it was back in 16 when I purchased mine. Mr. Lou's Stuff aka Lift Support Depot is where it's at !!!

Yes. That is a fantastic deal a NEW rig for $15k. Why wouldn't you do it. $15k for a new rig /5 = $3k per year plus finance cost which at 5% is about $750 over 5 years. That is if you are financing it. $15k cash in an investment should net you more than 5% return over 5 years. Your old...

DIY: Transfer Case Actuator Repair Transfer case leak - Page 12 - ClubLexus - Lexus Forum Discussion The above to link might help with your transfer case. Link #1 deals with a common 4th gen issue. If the 4x4 is not engaged frequently it locks up and just won't work. To fix this you have...

I am about at that point, getting it off is no problem, it's getting it back on, that's the problem. There's just not a lot of room to work and only wanted to this once. But hopefully try #3 is it. Found a thread on another forum and messaged someone who reported years back a 2649MM works. So...

Reviving my old thread - still chasing this issue of getting a belt. Dealer is of no help, Found few online options to purchase, but order gets canceled day or two after placing it. the belt I bought at 2616MM which was supposed to be a match is too short. Any one out there have any intel...

They replaced the shocks under the diff TSB? or a different TSB?
