It really sucks you can't get these in the US anymore. I'm looking into my options for replacing it, been thinking about either Shrockworks or ARB. I searched pretty heavily and know that there are two ARB bumpers that will fit a 3rd gen, the tacoma version and the prado version. I have a limited, so I'm thinking I need the wider prado version, but can't seem to find a vendor that specifically sells that one. Does anyone know who sells the wider (prado) ARB bull bar? Also, any pics of the ARB installed with limited flares (the tacoma or prado) would be awesome! Thanks guys, trying to get my rig looking good again! ]]> tarheelrunner http://www.yotatech.com/f2/arb-tacoma-vs-prado-bull-bar-197207/ A Little More Snow Wheeling http://www.yotatech.com/f100/little-more-snow-wheeling-197206/ Sat, 21 Nov 2009 03:20:38 GMT I took the 4Runner out this last weekend for a little more snow wheeling!

The boot on the driver's side outer cv joint just tore and the passenger side boots are about to go, obviously dry and cracked. My truck has 167K miles and I believe the axles are original equipment.

My decision is whether to reboot the old cv joints/axles or to replace them with remanufactured axles. I have no obvious problems currently, i.e. no clicking or popping in turns. The truck is my DD, and the need for 4wd is mostly seasonal with the occasional winter snow. Yet 167K on the current axles is getting on up there.

If I go reman, I know I should avoid the cheapo chinese joints. I have had good experiences with remaned axles from Raxles in Florida as well as Axles Unlimited in Charlotte, NC on my Civic and my Volvo wagon.

Reboot or reman... what should I do?

Thanks,

Also, the engine idles about 1250 in park or neutral, which seems a bit high to me.

The truck is in awesome shape with only 118xxx original miles. You all probably know it's the last year of the solid front axle and the first year for the EFI. The truck is also some what rare, as it has an automatic trans. w/ overdrive. The truck runs perfectly and everything on it works. The only bad is it didn't come with a/c or power steering but I have everything for power steering except the gear box. I have recently replaced the fuel filter, injectors, air filter, cap, plugs, wires, has new hubs, and just installed a cd player. The interior literally looks brand new. Pics don't do justice. Would be a great project or daily driver, (which is what I use it for). I live in Houston, Tx. and am willing to get it shipped if you are willing to pay. Call me any day between 8:00am and 9:00pm, or PM me. My name is Richey. Thanks $3500

Im going to be getting some 33x12.5 TLS Radials on my 15x10 Classic II's I already have sitting in my garage and what I'm wanting to do is a little suspension lift to get a better ride and retain the same look going I have now so I don't have my tires crammed up in my fenders. Both my leaf springs and torsion bars are worn down bad. So heres what I'm planning on doing and ya'll let me know what you think. I already ordered the OME Torsion bars and they are sitting in my room, I plan on getting some 1" lift springs from somewhere (open to suggestions!) for the back and getting new shocks and Ball Joint Spacers. I already have a diff drop and the sway bar drop installed in the front with 4.88 gears(already installed in the front) and the rear 4.88 gear chunk ready to go in. My primary question is should I go with some 3/4" or 1" Ball Joint spacers? I know its not much of a difference but I really dont want to overdo it and make my truck look stupid but at the same time I like it to sit above the tires a little bit. Im also taking into account that since my rear springs are worn down so bad that putting new ones in will even lift it a little bit. So im guessing 1" lift springs will accually lift it a little more than an inch.Plus I have a bigger overload spring out of a pickup and trashed my original so that probably lifts it a little as well, probably a little less than 1/4 of an inch but I plan to continue to use it. Let me know what yall think!

Picked up a 1995 4runner with 100k on it for $1000.

Today we took off the tranny bolts, starter, flywheel bolts, and most of the hoses and wiring harness.

I need some help and stuff guys!
1) Where can I find a 3.4!? I've looked everywhere. No one here replies to me when I make an offer!

2) I'm keeping the stock tranny, so what will be different about this swap (auto)? What do I need to do differently?

3) I'm not sure I get the whole ECU thing... I need a 3.4 ECU with the engine harness? Will the ECU have to be automatic since I am keeping the auto tranny?

More questions will come soon, and pics of the motor comming out tomorrow will be up tomorrow night!:safari: ]]> 3.4 Swaps infiltrator http://www.yotatech.com/f160/infil-s-3-4-swap-197193/ Smittybuilt 10k winch install 4 4 http://www.yotatech.com/f116/smittybuilt-10k-winch-install-4-4-a-197192/ Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:14:28 GMT So I got my winch today from Winch Depot(same company as 4wheelparts.com but $70 cheaper found out by calling both a doing the best price match and... So I got my winch today from Winch Depot(same company as 4wheelparts.com but $70 cheaper found out by calling both a doing the best price match and the guy I was talking to told me they are both owned by the same company but was surprised at how much cheaper they were then 4W.P. Winch Depot was shipped to my door $549 with a free cover, 4WP.com $619 + $19.99 for cover) I got the XRC Comp series with Synthetic rope instead of the cable which was $399 So here it go's

Here it is as it was dropped off by UPS (finally got a fast delivery from them 3 days from Fl.lol)







I was surprised to find it was double packaged in the cardboard so that was cool a little extra cushion



Then there was all the styrofoam to keep it safe and solid in the second box



After unpacking this is what you end up with



After following the excellent wiring diagram and wiring it up (the 8k I bought last year and a half ago they had no wiring diagrams guess they got a lot of calls about the wiring and decided it might be a good idea to add some lol)



Notice they tag the wires now as well.



So I went to test fit it in the winch plate and sure enough to tight to fit with out taking the bumper off or at least one side so I could get the extra 2-3" needed to drop it down into place.It is a very tight fit with all the a/c lines and the a/c cooling fan on the right side but she did fit down inside very nicely once she sat in place.Thank goodness my grill was already pre cut because that would have been a pain to do at the same time as the install well not really but at least a big inconvenince.







I could not get the control box to mount on the top of the barrel like they show (plus I will be able to put the cover now when not in use and yea it came in a box all by itself) because I need to cut a few inches of the grill still to fit under so here's what I came up with to hold it over .I also need to shave a 1/4 of the hawles lead thing to fit it under the bottom bar of the bumper so it will fit but it is getting dark out and I have to go do a few things so I will finish this tomorrow and for some reason the site keeps screwing up this thread removing pics and mixing words up so i guess this is a good place to stop for now.
