Also - would not recommend. They failed spectacularly.

udpate re: toytec customer service I'm not excited to write this post - but figured anyone who is paying attention might like an update. I have to say that I was a bit surprised when I got the message from David - it seemed like he was genuinely interested to help sort something out. He...

I was quite surprised as well. I don’t actually need a company to bend over backwards to support things that are outside the terms of a warranty - but this really looked to me like a defect. The spring basically split longitudinally - then broke in half transversely. The other side was...

Nice work! - quality build there. All core 5.2 is an amazing daily. I’ve got a few different cpus that have cores that can touch 5.4 - but none for all core above 5.0 at reasonable volts (14nm intel is ok to around 1.4v - for the most part - imc degrades the fastest at higher volts - and I...

Man - memory lane reading through this Thread. I guess I'll keep the same format with overindulgent and unnecessary details, to continue telling the story of my life for whoever inherits my internet passwords if / when I pass away tragically in a snowmobiling accident. :) 1. Finished the PCT...

Been a while Almost ready to get cracking on this beast again. I've been a bit busy in the interim: 1. Started the Pacific Crest Trail - and had 2 evacuations - 1 for a broken foot in my partner, and another for Salmonella... again in my partner (She's ok, but we decided to hold off on...

Update #17 Haven't been able to locate any clear vinyl for the headlights - but I may wait on this until next winter. I'll be out of the country for about 5 months this summer, and my winter projects are taking up some more time than I anticipated :) I did make a few changes over the past...

Sorry if I'm a bit late to answer your question. I've had both duratracs ands ko2's. Prefer the latter in all conditions.

oh my. In love with this thread - from such a non-descript title... You cheeky bastad :) Please - where does one find an oem 4runner frame. This seems like an oasis somewhere in the simmering desert of rusty garbage polluting my junkyard. Did you spray the POR or brush coat? Much much kudos!

I think that's a pretty good idea. clear vinyl work best?

Update #16 Just a few pics to update the thread. The battery blanket, battery maintainer and new block heater are in. I used some aluminium tape to secure the blanket the the battery, rather than the ridiculous 3.5 foot long wire tires they included in the package for the same purpose... Not...

Back! Hey guys, Finally back from a bit of a working holiday on the west coast. Back at er in Labrador now, and now that the snow is on the ground I have a few projects on the go. The 4runner has seen a few little updates, and I'll post some photos with the details when I get a chance to...

Refurb axles are just the best inexpensive option. Full new oems are very dear, aftermarket often have crappy boots that wear out in a hurry, and reman's are about the same price but oem quality. Reman'd axles might get a new joint or two, and will have the splines replaced if they have any...

Could be. No grease in the boot means likely more wear, and clicking is either just lash in the joint itself, or bits of crap mucking around inside the boot. Typically no grease will bear a similar click, and grease makes it go away. If it were me I'd just pull the axle, clean, degrease and...

Wow.
