The outside rust you see is the end result of the sills rusting from the inside. And they rust from the inside generally because of the sunroof drains keeping them damp. The sunroof needs to drain...

It is so fun removing those upper ball joints from the spindles.

They are pressed in. They're a real PITA to replace. A machine shop we use for presswork said they hate doing them.

Up on a jack stand there should be very little force on the lower control arm. The strut tops out and the lower control arm just has some tension in the bushings from being rotated farther than...

I guess I should say more precisely - the transfer case VSS is used when the vehicle is not equipped with ABS. I was thinking all US 3rd gens had standard ABS, but googling around, it appears that...

The 4Runner pulls the vehicle speed reading from the ABD system, which uses the sensors on the wheels. There's generally a metal dummy plug in the transfer case where that speed sensor goes.

It's a manufactured item, so it's always going to have some deviation from perfection, but I think you'd want it to be pretty minimal. Like... less than 1/8" or so at the 31.5" wheel diameter? ...

If it's not an e-locker, it will be easier to find an axle housing. And probably cheaper too.

Has to be a Tacoma axle, of course, leaf spring mounts vs. the 4Runner coil/control arms.
