    Do the 4runner seats bolt right in?

    My truck is a 96 and the seats came out of a 2001 4runner (3rd gen). Except for the outer front foot on each seat due to the difference in floor pans, they bolted in. The outer front needs to be hammered flat and have the hole filed out. Other than that they bolt in.

    I had to do some jimmying to get the holes to line up but they fit fine.

    I may post a thread about it once I get the chance

    I may go that route for the headlights in an attempt to have similar color lighting (I don't want stock, yellow head lights to make my upgraded lighting look bad). My plate bumper doesn't have fog cut outs so I'm just looking to put some ditch lights on the hood and point them accordingly. 4000s are for certain now, but the rest of the lighting is a toss up. Plus, I need to figure out what I want for the sides and rear.

    Can anyone explain to me why the front tires rotate in different directions when in 4 wheel drive?? We swapped wheels and tires on our trucks today to see how hers would look with my setup (and it does look good) but when I was sitting there spinning one wheel when I had the front in the air the opposite tire would spin the opposite direction...it's probably something really simple that I'm just over thinking.

    Standard for an open differential.
    YouTube has a good video on how differentials work.

    Toe is set last, so does it effect camber?
    I had an alignment about 10 weeks ago and my alignment has started to go bad, first I noticed bad tire wear (worn on the inside edges from camber) and the toe doesn't feel right through the steering wheel.

    Tonight I crawled under my truck and found this, I guess the tech didn't tighten the jam nut, but would this affect the camber?

    Started installing my TC UCAs. After about 50 trips to the parts store, walmart, home depot, I only have one side pulled apart haha. Can't find the dang lube I need for them locally. So gotta order it after checking one more potential place tomorrow. Also got one of my rotors turned.

    The Tri-Flow Dry with PTFE for the uniballs, but I couldn't find any on the website, the link on the paperwork was dead with no mention on the website about it. So I got some WD-40 Dry lubricant with PTFE for the uniballs. And then this stuff for the zirc fittings http://www.super-lube.com/super-lube-synthetic-grease-cartridge-4oz-400g-model-41150-p-11.html which I cannot find. Nothing around here has "PTFE" in it/on it/whatever that is lol

    Will it take out the scratches? IDK. It sure is clean and smooth though. Should help with bugs and mud i guess. I had my fare share of mudding in high school. No more for me
