New guy saying thanks!

[68dave]

New guy here with my 1st runner. I did the 199 tundra swap today on my lunch break, only took 20mins, a direct bolt on as i read here. I did'nt want to grind my 16" split 3 spokes or i would have upgraded to the 231's. On the drive home from work my brakes performed like a new truck, no pulsation and shorter stopping distance. I just wanted to shout out a BIG THANKS to everybody for the info!

Welcome Dave and congrats on the truck!

I agree with you 68dave, I too learn something new everyday. Thats why this forum is awesome. Just wish I could add more myself, but I'm just a novice that loves learning more about 4runners!

Did you bleed the brakes when you were done? 20 min on your lunch break is cooking! Good work, and welcome to the site!

Yea Ian. I work as a auto tech. so i was able to do it on the lift, alot easier on a lift. After i installed the new parts i gravity bleed then had a co-worker pump the pedal and i worked the bleeders. I used a torque stick to tighten the front wheels. I am really surprised how rust free the undercarriage of my truck is, usually 12 year old 4x4's are a PITA to work on because of all the road salt they use here. It was like working on a new vehicle!

Still daily driving this runner with no issues.

Looks good! How do you like that ARB bumper?

That 80 series would look so much better parked in front of my house, lol.

 

[ToyotaBrah]

Welcome, although I feel slightly awkward saying that seeing as you joined before me! Like your Chevelle collection!

It was on the FZJ when i bought it. The ARB is rusty like the rest of the rig but i got the truck super cheap so i didn't care lol.
