What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

[GSPRunner]

What type of tires are those and size? Are these tires come with the spikes?

They are Yokohama Geolander IT G072s size 285/75-16. They are studless.

Nothing fancy, swapped the driver and passenger seat cushions so driver side now has fresh looking cushion.

I did a circle, started by wanting to do a dual battery setup. Decided to run one large deep cycle battery. Tested dc voltage it was low but it was sitting for a while. Got it all installed and charged, truck fired like a champ! 4hrs later not the story, click, click, click. 10.3vdc and dropping. After doing some tests, she is done. So I put the old battery back in :/

Old

Also cut steel for cb antenna, and rear facing led light. And cut steel for ditch lights. Lastly some protection for the lower links

All in all, not a complete loss of a day.

finally decided which grease to use in which driveshaft joint.
pulled slip yokes from front and rear shafts, cleaned 'em out all spic-n-span, seals look good, greased, assembled, pumped new grease in. Front took @40 pumps, rear @30ish I think, but I forgot and stopped counting.
Pumped new grease into other fittings and purged all the old stuff.

removed seat belt assemblies and power washed webbing at car wash. Retracting better but still kinda sluggish. Wanna figure out how to wind the spring 2-3 more turns. the spring almost ka-boinged an escape from its housing and I wrangled it into submission. So close.

not trying to be a dbag know-it-all, but my experience and all of what I've read about this whole shimmy/vibration/wobble at xxx mph is due to out of balance tires, which will never be properly balanced without the Hunter GSP 9700 with Lug Centric adapter and Road Force balance.
You can get the balanced over and over and over, they can add 3 Lbs of weights, whatever. It won't work because our wheels are Lug Centric.
This is a known issue that many many dealerships and tire places are not aware of and dismiss as untrue.
Confirm the tech knows what he/she is doing. Many don't know how to use the machine properly.

I thought our wheels were hub centric?

 

[Scramble]

I had a weird vabration after last trail ride....changed a rear u-joint and voilà like a new truck ( after 3 hours of work)....:vader:

I have a weird vibration after yesterdays ride.:doh:

 

[slapdappy]

i ask this with love and compassion in heart: did you bother googling lug centric + 4runner + wheel balance + wobble + shake + vibration etc?
C'mon dude. Its all there.

Thanks for the info! Not taking it like you are trying to be anyway. I appreciate the information.

Today I bought a Marlin Crawler 1200 clutch kit from a fellow member. Also on Friday I replaced my 285 KM2s with 265s Duratracs and gave her a quick wash.

 

[Ruff]

Bought an aftermarket head unit and speakers.
Installation next weekend.

Why didn't you get the big subs?

 

[blonde1boarder]

Went off-roading on ironclads and found out where my 35s are rubbing in the rear at full stuff

 

[e46inperrycounty]

Why didn't you get the big subs?

I know, those little 15's with 8" ports probably won't do the trick but its a start...lol
