Glad to see the tread is still alive. Yes the left side sits about a half inch higher. I have no idea why. I loved the setup with the 906's. Definitely better that the HD OME's as far as ride and I didn't want a huge lift for my wife to complain about. I sold my 4Runner about 8 months ago. At...

As sad as it is, it's time to bid farewell to my 4 runner. With a 2 year old and the wife knocked up, we are hunting for a minivan (sorry i just threw up in my mouth) the pics were from 3 years ago, but she looks the same..... PICS...

After a lengthy hiatus from wrenching on the 4runner, I decided to give my front end more balls. A 1 year old and a busy job are my excuse Rig: '99 LTD w/ locker. 191k miles Parts list from shopTRD.com: $322 free shipping 99 taco lower ball joints 99 taco outer tie rods (both of the above...

R&R Upper and Lower Ball Joints - TTORA Forum I just did mine this past week. I used a 3 arm puller rented from autozone after snapping an arm off the cheap harbor freight 3 arm puller. I had an old ball jnt press which would not work because of clearance issues with the spindle arm. BUT, I was...

Hopefully I can take good care of the '99 and it will be his one day.... <table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/ohgYy-s9m2kehboFfgn_vWDL7Vwdu_aAc-g2o80M19g?feat=embedwebsite"><img...

Just wanted to see what else you guys have in your garage..... 2011 MAZDASPEED3: 3500 miles and I've already started modding it..... :cool: <table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/g9PHtttn_KoeCUYQMSokGmDL7Vwdu_aAc-g2o80M19g?feat=embedwebsite"><img...

Ride height has not dropped a bit. Granted, I haven't carried any significant load or towed anything. The ride is slightly firmer than my '99 coils, but it corners well......much better than stock (firm, planted, much less body roll) Really I should say it corners as well as a 2 ton SUV can...

I cleaned my TB when I did the t-belt service......although my problems were with higher idle speeds that would not come down after warm up. Answer was a stuck idle air control valve. It seems some carbon leaked into this valve during cleaning and mucked up the valve. This valve allows air to...

working out pretty good. I haven't been able to ride as much as i'd like,but that's another story. my only complaint is that it's a bit heavy and awkward, but that's only because it's so well built.

Ha ha ha ~ sarcasm. Yes the color is a bit Shagtastic, but at least the truck doesn't smell like ass anymore. Fit was decent. When i first pulled it out the box, I had my doubts. But when I started to install, it came together nicely. It's much thicker than stock.....almost shag like j/k. This...

it was supposed to be the same factory "oak". definately different and more of a brown color....too late now. but it looks OK. Yeah i replaced mine when i purchased it casue the prior owner was a chain smoker with sasquach as a pet (hair everywhere). All the steam in the world wouldn't have helped.

There's no shame in keeping your creases clean

looking back.... I thought i's never finish. I started in 05/09 and finished 02/10. I'm a internal medicine resident, so i don't have too much time on my hands.......the hardest part? putting it back together when i took it apart so long ago....... so for the cam and cranks seals. I tried...

I know this should be in general gear, but gotta let my 3rd gens see first. It's a pretty hardy 3 -bike rack for less than 100 bucks shipped that: 1) you can still tow with rack on hitch 2) may outlast both my bike and 4runner -> solid 3) tilts so you can open the hatch without moving anything...
