3rd Gen FAQ, Tutorials, & Documentation Reference v2

You have the ABS/VSC/TRAC Disable MOD on there. What do you think about adding this write-up that shows you how to keep the factory look by using an Avalon TRAC OFF switch? It's not as simple as just cutting the wire and adding a switch.

I will make the update this weekend. Its kind of a bit of work since there are like 1000 lines of text in my original post. I use Notepad++ to view it all.

Hey add my official ball joint thread to this list. I'm on my phone right now and can't access it nor post links. You can find it on the first page of my build thread.

Brian,

Here is a link from TW on how to remove the crank bolt non bump starter method. Even though I think Durk's is the cat's meow, just some more options:
Homemade Crank Pulley Tool - Tacoma World Forums

A nice easy way to get out those control arm bushings:
Front Suspension Rebuild on 3rd Gen - YotaTech Forums

Control arms as well as upper BJs for a Taco:
Tacoma Suspension - Control Arms, part 2

If these are already there, I didn't see them. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

On next edit will add ...

Guide: Pad and Rotor Replacement for Noobs
http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/171922-guide-pad-rotor-replacement-noobs.html

Editing this thread is actually a lot of work and I only do it from my home desktop so I can read through the thousands of lines (ok maybe hundreds) in the text editor. Anyways I will add this to the top soon.

Yep it looks like 4x4wire.com has died.

I'll move them to the discontinued section

4x4 Wire is back.

Also, 4Runners.org is on the mend, certainly enough to be put in the living section. Bob tells the story on ultimateyota.com:

Lastly, I am honored to have my FAQ's doc hosted here in your last revise.
