    caliper issues 3gen 4runner help!!

    I rebuilt the master a few months ago, very easy to do with the rebild kit. I did finda lit of mud in one of my drums and scored shoes because of the grit. I had to have the drum resurfaced last week and ordered some parts for my tundra calipers.:bang: As much as I have read, I am going to bit...

    caliper issues 3gen 4runner help!!

    I have been reading a lot about the tundra upgrade and looks like I will reluctantly go for it. Just not sure why some of my friends who run 37s on a mini truck do not seem to have a problem

    Great idea! I would add some JB weld to it. I did that fix to both my remotes and so far so good

    Diff Wiring, Please Help >.<

    Run the wiring I would highly suggest running the wiring the way the factory intended it to be set up with one exception, the speed lock out. I put mine in and had to run all new wiring as my factory wiring harness did not have the diff lock wiring in it. Good luck, there are a few posts on...

    caliper issues 3gen 4runner help!!

    Not sure about the other caliper, no pulling in one direction when I brake. Yes, I replaced the rubber lines a while back. There was a crack in one, but they seem I hate to say have a braided liner. Hopefully, I did not waste my money.

    caliper issues 3gen 4runner help!!

    They are just weak as they just won't stop the truck. I was too dumb to think about pumping them while I was test driving them.:bang: . At this point, everything will be new on the brakes, shoes, drums, rotors, rebuilds, etc. over the past 12 months. I feel like it has been a bit of a black...

    caliper issues 3gen 4runner help!!

    The guys in my club think its either a bad master cylinder or air in the master. I ordered a rebuild kit for both the master and the calipers. Figured I might as well go ahead and get this done:wrench:. Just sucks it so dang hot outside....:banana:

    caliper issues 3gen 4runner help!!

    Duane Thanks for response I have bled the system multiple times and burned through several quarts of Val opine semisynthetic brake fluid. All the fluid I get is clear. Guess I could put a drop of food coloring in to see whether I bled it completely but I do not think air is the problem.

    caliper issues 3gen 4runner help!!

    Hello all, I have been fighting braking issues with my truck for a bit over a year. I can barely lock them up. Went through a rear seal replacement at first and replaced shoes, they worked for a bit then the same thing. Fast forward a few months... Just a few days ago, I then replaced the shoes...

    3rd Gen 4Runner Build Ideas

    Unless there is a real need to replace the rims, I would stay with the factory alloys. I have all kinds of rock rash from basic wheeling in some tough areas in the SE USA. Spend your money on armor, lockers and tires and most importantly recovery gear and a CB. Good luck. :)

    2000 4runner SR5 4wd

    I got mine off craigs list, it is a small one, load warrior. It is nice though for what I paid for it. If I had to do it again, I would look around for something cheaper. Costco had something, no name brand for less. One thing that is nice, my target duffle roof bag fits nicely in it, with...

    98 5vz-fe loud tapping/knocking advise needed

    I was going to suggest water pump issues, but sounds like it may be more complex. Good luck, BTW, check the AC idler pulley as they go bad if you run through a lot of mud...

    Locker + ABS on simultaneously?

    yes, that is correct. ABS is disabled when locker is engaged. Although mine is a retro fit, it should do the same as I have the same 4wd brain installed. I do not think my ABS light goes out. I have to check that again. I was driving around in the snow as well as we had lots of fun white stuff...
