replaced broken CV axle greased suspension and driveline replaced starter relay fixed rear diff weep added abs disable rocker switch... and now I have to go up to Big Bear and sort out my daughter's 2nd Gen electrics it just never ends at least the weather is nicer up there

LOL That's exactly where it happened...the Sierras

I snapped an axle, busted a shock, hit the rear diff hard on a hidden rock...so it peed a little gear oil, and tore up the outer edge of a steel wheel.

no regrets w/ the CBI (as Tim mentioned....no longer available) spare + 2 jerry cans you may need to review your current coil spring rate and adjust accordingly

98 4Runner SR5, 3.4Ltr, 5 speed, rear locker 286K mi Only just did head gasket job, and shim shuffle for the SC back in June

I got the BB Studios one and ended up breaking it trying to unscrew it to change out media. Really could have used it on our last trip. So I just pulled the trigger on the one from eBay (scarletpimp). I'm tempted to stuff HVAC media down the fresh air inlet under the wiper cowl at this point...

to add to what WayneM mentioned... rather than decide what country I live in and what side is 'passenger or driver' I put the taller spring on MY driver's side lol

I want one...no, I NEED ONE...the desert is dusty...*cough cough* The 'proprietor' of BB Studios really needs to put up more data and an install sheet or video. I would dump $70 to be a guinea pig, but I want to see more development background, and another eval from an independent party...FIRST.

Got KO3s before we headed out to San Juans in CO last mo (to get outta da heat!)....Bud's Tires out here in Riverside did a fantastic job balancing them (both RF and HS). No outer weights either. The KO2s were chewd, fractured, scraped...from AZ mining trails. We drove all over Utah back...

Out here in So Cal...Big Bear in particular...they are now using brine on the roads up to BB when it snows. (Cal Trans acknowledges this on their website) I had surface rust EVERYWHERE in a couple of days of driving around up there last winter. I douched the entire underside w/ Berkbile Salt...

If my 98 gets totaled....I'm just going to go find me a dead FJ80 to build I would be sad, yes, but I always keep moving forward....and I see a white 80 in my future I paid $16k in 2019 for mine because: It had under 160k mi on it. 1 prior owner w/ complete carfax history. It 056 white w/ no...

Charlie...you running automatic, right? When you climbing (in HOT weather)...in a situation where you have to use 1st gear (lo range) for a period of time.....do you recall what rpms your engine running in that situation? Just ballpark. I'm just analyzing some things related to a trip up to top...

Mine fit under there (265/75 R16 KO2) fine. (But it's up on swing arm now.)

Joe is the best. He did the PHK, limit strap tabs, sliders...etc on my 98. AND he did my clutch swap...the guy is a talented and valuable resource.
