    I'm looking for limit straps for the front LCA. I was thinking something that went from the sway bar tab up to the frame like so. Any ideas on a source?

    btw the sway bar is deleted currently.

    Cool. Thanks. I think I can work with that. I found some mounting hardware on Kartek.com. I just want something to support the control arm assembly when I jack up the front. Currently the CV and the steering rack are taking the load and it's killing my boots.

    Thought, since I have to haul our Polaris sportsman 400 100 miles to our hunting destination , I would give ome springs a little help with the D43xl aal. Might have to get another bpv bracket though!

The light they throw is awesome, clean light cast out at about 60 degrees left and right to the sides with a perfect horizontal cutoff, ran them for a few hours last night and didn't get flashed once, seem completely nonoffensive to oncoming traffic from my view standing in front of the truck (the pic with them I was before I aimed them). Make my dingy stock headlights look like such shit in every way, time to upgrade to retrofit projectors! TRS rocks!!

    Ran into a problem, was going to change out my brake shoes but didn't need to. Driver side looked fine but the passenger side is leaking rear diff fluid. There's some play as well guessing the bearing needs to be replaced as well. Does anyone know how much of a job this is to stop the leaking? Going to fill my rear diff with more fluid and see how much I lost.

    and NOW, who is the resident 4runner expert?

    01 4runner Sport, 4x4.

    Suspension is squeaking like crazy. Looking at a simple OME with very little lift. (It's the wife's, and she doesn't want any lift...I know, right...) so I have done quite a bit of research, but supposedly there is some sort of traction system on the back that you have to completely remove? "XREAS" I think is what it is called. Anybody round these here parts know much about that?

    No idea what your talking about. I did a lift on my brothers. Just swapped coils and was good.

    880 front coils are stock. For the rear..I can't remember. We used land cruiser coils for lift.
