    Front End Clunk - Spring Hitting UBJ Bracket?

    I think this is probably the route I'd go. I usually go OEM on most parts (except the lift, obviously), so I'm not too familiar with these brands. What would be the highest quality brands for an aftermarket upper control arm?

    Front End Clunk - Spring Hitting UBJ Bracket?

    I've been chasing a front end "clunk" for some time after installing an OME lift (881 Fronts w/ ARB 90004 & 890 Rear w/ ARB 60028). I read somewhere on here that one person noticed that after installing a 2-3" lift their front springs had been hitting their upper ball joint bracket when the...

    Rear Window Rolls Down On It's Own...

    It is a Toyota TSB EL010–99, meant for fuel gauge inaccuracy. The procedure should be done to re-calibrate after replacement of the circuit plate, fuel sending unit, and suction tube. I was reading in a thread that some people had done just the re-calibration and had success. Figured it couldn't...

    Rear Window Rolls Down On It's Own...

    A few days ago I did the fuel gauge reset procedure on the runner to attempt a calibration on my gauge that shows empty after 13 gallons. Since doing so, the rear window seems to have randomly rolled itself down overnight a couple times and the odometer keeps changing itself to "Trip B." Any...

    Awesome Moab Trip PICS

    Just got back from my first real 4x4 trip in Moab. I ran the "Fins 'N Things" trail, and seriously it couldn't have been more fun. Weather was absolutely perfect, and I didn't even break anything. You've got to check out these pictures though, the rig was looking mighty fine.

    Stripped Transmission Drain Plug

    With the brand new plug and crush washer "snugged" it has been almost two days driving around and it is clean. No sign of any leaking. Like I said, it felt pretty tight going all the way in, I just didn't have the stomach to torque it and potentially feel it spin. Question is... if it isn't...

    Stripped Transmission Drain Plug

    How important would you guys say it is to torque this drain plug to spec? I had a stripped bolt/pan scare this morning while trying to drain some excess fluid (dealer over-filled because by dipstick was broken). The bolt was missing most of the threads and just kept turning while I was trying...

    Suspension "Clunk" - Sway Bar End Links Bad?

    All steering rack bushings look to be intact and crack-free. No play at all. I'll have to look into this. I found a tutorial for replacement of the guide, but steering seems to be pretty slop-free so I'm not sure this is the culprit. Worth a shot though. CVs seem to be in good condition w/...

    Suspension "Clunk" - Sway Bar End Links Bad?

    It happens when turning or driving straight. If I go over a small pothole or anything there is just a "clunk" sound coming from what sounds like the passenger side front and rear. Rubber strut mounts are nice and seated. So that bottom end doesn't look odd even though it is turned forward...

    Tundra Brake Upgrade: Brake Pads Side Specific?

    Bump This is what the pads look like. As you can see the bottom left of each pad is marked with an "A" or "B." I installed them like this: Driver Side "A" Outboard "B" Inboard Passenger Side "B" Outboard "A" Inboard My logic was to keep the wear clip facing up on both sides. I've already...

    Suspension "Clunk" - Sway Bar End Links Bad?

    I've got a front end "clunk" going over small road deviations, speed bumps, driveways, etc. I just replaced the front struts, LBJs, and Sway Bar End Link Bushings. Trying to look for things that could be causing the noise and just noticed that the driver side Sway Bar End Link looks a little...

    Tundra Brake Upgrade: Brake Pads Side Specific?

    I am in the middle of doing the Tundra Brake Upgrade (199mm), with OEM pads (04465-0C012). The pads look identical, but two have an "A" stamped in them and two have a "B." Are these pads side specific? Are A's supposed to go outside and B's outside or all A's on driver side/ B's on pass side...
