I have been bleeding at one point for an hour.,still getting bubbles..I am thinking that there is an air leak someplace now.. One question would be is there or was there that much air in the rack an pinion?

Here goes..replaced my rack and pinion last night due to leak on left side. I had also replaced my steering pump a couple of days prior to that. It was loud from the get go but after installing the rack we checked it out again and no bueno. Recvd my replacement pump today and installed it...

97 4-Runner Mojave Trail at the penny tree! Great run if you have not had the pleasure...

Looks like you got some rub there in the front. Mine are out further to help push the vehicle away from obstructions. They are still inside my wheellbase. I run 1.5inch spacers on my wheels as well..helps with rub..

Rear shot..

Maybe this one is better..

Some great feedback.. I will post what I ended up getting by this weekend, and maybe some pictures I know that I am going with OME in the rear with 891's. Coils in the front with a 1" diff drop, for now..... As far as wheels, I've noticed that there are a lot of people that are running 265's...

Awesome...was thinking that the ultimate kit for a grand was the way to go, and if I did anything Else I would regret it. Now, if I could afford the icon or fox I would go with that but just the front end, for Icons is 1200 buck, priced out this weekend.. Can someone recommend a cheap rim to...

Thanks... I might be trying to get this done too fast (we have a run in Calico June 15) and would like to have the lift and tires by then. Not sure I can gettr done, but would be nice. When I get a chance I will start posting some before pics and then update from there.. I am excited, should...
