Just to add my .02. When trying to fish out the broken piece in mine it somehow flipped 90 degrees and was sitting at the bottom of the tube sideways. I somehow miraculously still managed to get it out but just wanted to warn everyone about this possibility. I thought for certain I would have to...

Stock exhaust with spintech muffler. Nice subtle sound and just a little over a 100 bucks.

A pic of my truck with 265/70/17 5100's front and back with 3 leaf aal and fronts set at 1.75:

No photos to share, but the new bfg at ko comes in a 34x10.50x17 size which sounds pretty awesome. Might have a look on tacomaworld.com for all kinds of tire question answers.

If its just T-bars you are looking to replace, you might look at stock lc bars. Im not sure what type of result you will end up with, just putting ome bars in there without the rest of the ome suspension.

I think 3" is considered pretty substantial for a 100. Like the poster above me said, slee is a great place to start. More than likely you are going to want to scrap the AHC if you want to obtain 3".

Your starter contacts are likely going out. It will let you know for a little while before you are hosed. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/procedure-for-replacing-100-series-98-and-up-starter-contacts.9117/

Yes, in fact one can! I did this very thing about a month ago. Rebuilt the MC with the $50 kit you can buy from Toyota and replaced the pump and accumulator with new oem parts. Cost was around $1200 for the motor I believe.

FWIW I just replaced my pump and accumulator about a month ago. I'm not sure why you are under the impression that there are only three of them. I ordered mine from Camelback Toyota. It was around $1200 I believe. They need the VIN and you need to let them know its for a Lexus or Toyota will not...

There's write up on here for the telescoping motor fyi. I agree, I wouldn't be scared by a new, dealer installed motor.

Can't check abs codes with obdII. How did you find out the numbers?

I think that 4Runner is the one talked about here: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/143887-Laurel-Lakes-Mammoth-CA-Roll-Over

Really, if you are even a little bit mechanically inclined, most of these items are pretty diy grade tasks. The general consensus is don't flush the trans. Rather get a fluid exchange done at a shop or a lot of guys, myself included, do frequent drain and fills every couple oil changes. You get...

Rebuilt master cylinder and replaced booster... Did 180k service. Really this was more like over the course of 2 1/2 weeks but you know...

So can anyone give any hints as to how you keep the belt from skipping teeth on the cam pulleys while rotating the crank twice to check it? There's not enough tension to hold it in place.
