I’ve been getting 16-17 mpg in my manual swapped ‘01 3.4 with manual hubs and on 37” KO2s And 4.10s. She loves high RPMs, I won’t lie.

Hey guys, I’m having a similar issue as the OP, and think I am missing that snap ring too. I’m sorry if I missed it, but what is the part number for that snap ring? Also, I’m afraid- when I did the swap 80k miles ago- I used the standard drive flange type wheel bearing with my manual locking...

Hey all, Just relocated to AZ, and I’m in need of some wheel bearing repair. If you happen to be in the area and have a donor driver side knuckle and CV in usable condition I could buy from you, that would be great too. I would buy both sides, no problem. Didn’t put the snap ring on the...

This is laughable and really sad all at the same time. Keith has put his heart and soul into bringing us stellar products- including scrapping parts because something didn’t get bent or cut 100% perfect. To have someone say that these are $10 parts that a high school student could easily make...

It will, but the overall length will be about an inch shorter. If you have access to the manual drivelines, that’s the way to go. I have auto shafts front and rear still- the front is so compressed, it was a NIGHTMARE to get in- far from ideal, but I’ve used the 4WD several times without issue...

That’s incredibly kind of you to say, Speedy. Thanks so much for the compliments. At first, I did feel like the auto was more zippy. I think the way the TQ magic works, it gives it a more zip. I actually really liked the auto. That being said, I love shifting. After being used to the manual, I...

Obviously a synchronization issue. I would start out by seeing how your front driveline is behaving during the grinding. Have someone else driving, and hang out the pass door to watch the driveline- in a wide open lot. Have them drive as slow as possible, as you REALLY want to avoid damaging...

Oh, awesome! I assumed those were for some type of latching mechanism for a tire carrier [emoji23]

Also- For everyone welding the nuts in: Make sure you wire wheel the coating off any nuts you are going to weld on. These nuts are in areas that are permanently inaccessible once bumper and all brackets are welded in. You don’t want these nuts just poorly tack welded on, and have them break off...

Isn’t the cargo area a great work bench?! [emoji23] Hey, something to consider- If you want to be able to take the tank out(or, install it) without dropping the bumper, you don’t want those nuts welded to the top of the crossmember. With them installed the way you currently have them(as I do...

Sure!

2TH4IST & eimkeith, this is what I got-

Hey, thanks! I was using a welder that rkntoy let me borrow, and it worked great. My plan was to leave all the welds showing, but a couple gross spots caused me to smooth every weld out [emoji23] Thank you [emoji1317] Yeah, well I haven’t been able to work on the runner much, and also was...

Holy shit, you guys. I’ve been drooling over the progress pics of this bumper since Keith started showing them, what- a couple years ago?! Production started, and I grabbed one ASAP. Keith never fails to amaze me, and this bumper is no different. This bumper is based off AssBurns bumper- which...

BEST CHRISTMAS EVAR! Wouldn’t be the “Ultimate” 4Runner without a Diamond, now would it? Not in my opinion.
