I just had to take my gas gap off. Lol. I’m an idiot. Disregard.
Plastic bits of chain guide in pan.
Broken guide bolt hole. That was the faint clicking. It was just wiggling back and forth.
Time to start cleaning everything over the next few days. I have a parts order coming in the meantime. Then I’ll button her back up.

Just a reminder to all of you early Taco IFS owners...check your ball joints! It was my son's biggest fear on his, so we swapped out first thing when he bought his.
This was 5 miles up the dirt access (county owned) road to my friends' place yesterday in the middle of nowhere...

Same thing happened Sunday, leaving fall crawl in 2019 on the road out of camp. That's my friend Adam's 1UZ swapped 3rd gen 4runner. He got lucky it happened there and not on the trails or on the side of the road back to Ohio

Fully lacking IFS knowledge, how are these checked and should one carry spares?

What actually happened was the bolts backed out of his knuckle and cracked the casting of the ball joint but somehow the threads in the knuckle were fine. I've heard of others with the same issue with the bolts but only specifically the 3rd gen. IMO you don't need a lower as a spare in general unless they're old.
Spare... probably not... spare CV .... yes IMO. I think the spare CV is mostly important if you don't have manual hubs. Because the autos constantly spin.... That is the way my tacoma is. So if you bust a CV or rip a boot open or something you are SOL as far as limping back to civilization in 2WD. manual hubs you can probably have a bit more forgiveness. I might be wrong about that.... fact checking encouraged.
Always carry a spare CV offroad and tie rods too if you have IFS
2 IFS vehicles is too many.. I want a SFA back!

only need to carry tie rods if you own a GX or 4runners, land cruisers are built pretty beefy

Thanks for the quick responses and the video. The Taco is my DD. It will never get wheeled, just locked for inclement weather when the need presents.

It was definitely fun watching him replace that toothpick while we all sat around drinking.
dang, never had that issue w/ my 2nd gen 4runner on 33's w/ ball joint spacers. i did carry a nasty/smelly spare CV and tie rods, but never used them on the trail. i had manual hubs. maybe i got lucky?
happy to be rid of the IFS
