I'm on the cusp of pulling the trigger on a 5 speed and new/ish transfer case and I wanted some real, honest opinions from those of you that have walked this path before me.
I want to know what you would (or wouldn't) change about making the upgrade if you had to do it all over again. 4:1...
I've got a real bad habit of ordering parts when I've been drinking and sometimes I mess up, haha.
There are brand new, still sealed in the pretty red and white Toyota box. I got them from Partsouq, so they were cheaper than the local dealer, but shipping was murder. Anyway, you may be able to...
So my smog pump seized today. Fun.
Luckily, I was only a few miles from home, so I pulled the belt and limped her back. I'll probably go ahead and de-smog soon but need the truck for work. I know I can run the belt off the PS pump and bypass the SP, but then won't have PS. I was wondering if...
So I'm in the middle of doing knuckles. I stopped shy of putting the axle shaft back in and packing it full of grease because the preload on my knuckle bearings is high, roughly 22 lbs. Now, it seemed like the preload was fairly high when I took them apart, but I didn't measure it at the time...
I’m going to be putting Noico 80mil in the front doors and was just wondering how some of you guys went about doing it. Cut in into bits and patchwork it or what?
I recently did the 4Runner wiper arm upgrade. It’s an incredible mod, really. I just am having a hard time getting them to sit at the correct level. I’ve taken them off and lowered them but for some reason they seem to sit just cocked up the windshield enough to annoy me. Any tips for making...
Background: Just replaced old leaking pump with new OEM pump. Flushed fluid through system ~10 times to remove air. Turned pump pulley by hand and kept fluid topped off so as to not run it dry by starting for a few seconds like the manual says. There’s no way in hell there’s air in the system...
It’s time for a new CAT and I’m obsessing over which one to get. CARB compliant for sure, as CO is only getting stricter on emissions. Shop says to get universal because they’ll weld it in. My main question is regarding the thermo sensor port. Magnaflow with the port is ~$500, without is ~$200...
In the middle of putting my truck back together after my manifold gasket job, I dropped something on the ground and noticed this piece laying down there.
It connects to a female end that grounds out at the bottom of the EGR inlet mounting bolts that attach to the manifold, nearest the...
No photos but, hey, it's been "professionally appraised," so get out your check book.

I'm in the market for a new suspension and, always wary of the most popular option (OME), I'm wondering what those of you with TT suspensions have to say, good or bad, about your experience with them. Diehard OMEers, feel free to chime in. My opinion can be swayed.
Well, it's official. The carb cleaner spray test has confirmed my suspicions, so it looks like I'm planning on replacing my IN/EX manifold gasket and all the bits and bobs associated with that. What I'm really looking for is some feedback on my parts list. I'm hoping I can get everything in one...
Hey everyone, I need some help figuring out this noise. Seems to be getting worse. Usually heard at slower speeds, sometimes when I'm sitting at a light idling. Not so present at highway speeds though. Can't echolocate well enough to tell if it's coming from the engine or the transmission. Any...
Hey y'all. I'm currently driving from Colorado to KY. As we've dropped in elevation , my idle speed has been dropping. Just stopped for gas and it totally stalled out on me. Gonna get some lunch here soon and hoping you guys have any advice. Should I lean up my fuel mix now that I'm not at 7000...
So, I was in the parking lot of a King Soopers (Kroger, for your Southerners), and there was a dude in a Volvo wagon with his hood up. Always after favorable karma, I ask him if he needs a jump/any help. He proceeds to tell me how his head gasket has blown and he's taken a concoction of egg...
I bought my 60 with an aftermarket starter. It came with the original, but the mounting bracket is broken. Is this something I could replace and remount?
