    Nate likes those oem parts. I used a spring from the hardware store. There's a "clutch spring mod" thread on here that tells you which one.

    You mean rear climate control lines? The defroster is electric.

    The springs are easy to come by every yard has a 2nd gen. Oh, and they come with a rubber insert to keep it from squeaking like an old screen door. Replace those lines with rubber ones or get some used ones. If you use rubber be sure to keep them away from your exhaust. I would go used OEM only. ;) More hp and BTU. haha

    Lol I would go OEM too if I could find them ! the more I dig in the more needs fixed. Like the "Mechanic" A term I use more loosely than a prom queen thats been fingerbanged by Godzilla; didn't know how to take off interior panels so things are bust and not flush. You have any idea on what to do ? mostly the female ends of thins I believe specifically door panels.

    Homebrew "ballpark" alignment. Those poor caster plates have been through hell and back with this project.

    I took my truck in for an alignment last week and the guy tried telling me it was too modified to align correctly and it isn't street legal so he can't test drive it. Meanwhile, the alignment turned out great.

    I have found the monkeys mount and balance or at least attempt to balance. The alignment guy is the cross eyed guy.

    Good you should be ready to handle the riot next weekend when the Jeepers rise up and kick the Toyota guys out.

    What guy are you referring to? There is a write-up for the door panels over at T4R or you can call me.

    What is the condition of the two male tubes that come out of the floor of your 4Runner? They meet up with two rubber hoses what create the arc to meet back up with the solid lines. The reason why I am asking is if those tubes are corroded as hell or have been left wide open you may want the whole rear aluminum core component. You also need to take a picture of the hoses around your firewall to make sure you have all of the necessary T-fittings to plumb the lines in if you want. The T-fittings may have been replaced with a simple double male fitting.

    I'd rather replace the whole thing in general if I can. But i'll get photo tomrrow of the lines.

    Also I realized how terrible T4R is designed IMO
