We went there last Sunday and it was great. Great place to camp and amazing scenery the road to Lockett meadow was little narrow. Really enjoying new 4runner with KDSS. Definitely need to go back there in the Fall for Aspen trees.

Hey fellow runners. My 1st gear is popping out. Pretty dang sure its the synchros.  Anyone know of a shop that will do a rebuild at a decent price? I'm in Casa Grande, but the beast is still drivable so if I have to head to the valley or to Tucson, its not an issue. Or, if anyone has any leads on a 3.4 and wants to give me a good excuse to pull the trigger on a swap....

My wife's family is from Young. We'd definitely be on board for a Cherry Creek run.

This may be a simple fix, simply worn shifter bushing. Take a look at
Toyota Tacoma manual transmission pop out of gear? Here's the simple fix! - All
This is for a Tacoma, but it's all the same.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, I already tried that. Got the whole set from Marlin Crawler, and it helped for about 5 minutes lol.

Hi Everyone,
I just purchased my 1998 4Runner last week and now that I have driven it for a little bit I am starting to see that the rear axle will be needing new seals and possibly bearings. Have anyone of you done this replacement yet or did you just take it to a shop and let them do it?
I was thinking about repairing/replacing both sides myself. Do you know if there a machine shop that will press the bearings for me? I live on the north side of Phx and I might call the Luke AFB Hobby Shop to see if they have a press that I can use.

Welcome to the club. I love my 98. I can't help with the shop to do the pressing but this is a great thread on the whole job.

I have watched some great videos on how to replace the seal and bearings. I am putting in my order for new parts today and hopefully this weekend I will be doing the replacements.

Recently traded my turd gen Tacoma for a propper Japan built 18 TRD Off-Road. Down for a club. Personally more interested in overlanding/camping than offroading for the sake of offroading.
