I realize I am resurrecting an old thread but am getting ready to do a major resto-mod and have some questions after reading safety concerns. I will be up grading to a DC Power 180 Amp alternator and am building a custom battery harness so have the opportunity to do this totally correct and...

Where did you source your shims... from a private party? I haven't checked my valves but am guessing some adjustment is going to be required. It would be nice to have a selection of shims on hand as opposed to ordering and waiting.

Spoke with Geoff @ Colt Cams today to make sure they received my cams. He said they had AND he was in the process of getting a recently completed set of cams boxed up to ship out ... guessing / hoping they may be yours. During your re-install, what other work are you planning, if any? You...

Didn't see an update ... did you get your cams back yet? Sent mine yesterday and am just curious what the turn around time is. Geoff stated they shouldn't be in his shop more than 5-7 business days. So I am hoping 7 business days plus shipping time.

Did you get your cams back from Colt Cams yet? If so, what was the turn around time? Doing a major overhaul and decided to get a Colt performance grind. If you received them, did you get them installed and what is your impression?

Are these compatible up front with a Truetrac? I was of the impression the only way to install Truetrac upfront required machining your CV. I have a 99 and couldn't find the CVIFS-Toy 1 on their site. Will these work with lockout hubs? Even if they do, CVIFS-Toy 1 is probably not the right...

Overkill is my middle name BUT got tired of trying to sort it out so I bought a set of LCE Header Studs (1045031) ... for 1/3 the price of ARP.

A couple of reasons: (1) installing these long tube headers can be a PIA. Therefore, I want to do everything I can to insure I only have to do it once. (2) I hate exhaust leaks. (3) I want high strength / heat treated connectors (4) The factory exhaust manifold studs have a shoulder in the...

OP: are they legit OEM Lower Ball Joints? If so, can you post a link?

ICEMAN 601 ... what is the second controller unit in your setup?

Which harness is for the 3rd Gen application ..... A, B, C, D, E or F?

I am in the process of installing a new engine in my 1999 SR5 4Runner with the 3.4L engine. I found a set of TRD long tube headers to install while the engine is out. I would like to replace the manifold studs and bolts in the header collector with ARP stainless steel hardware. However, they...

I know you said 'don't quote me on the timeline' ... but any news on if or when these might be available?

Don't want/need entire transmission. Just the valve body. Shipping the entire transmission would be cost prohibitive. Check this link ... https://youtu.be/vZFwSP2TbTY

Still have the tranny? Any interested buyers? If it is available with no potential buyer, I am looking for a good transmission valve body for a 1999 4 speed automatic. I want to get an IPT performance upgrade. IPT requires you provide your own valve body but it's my daily driver & I can't...
