TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

You can run 199mm on the split 3 spoke but not the 231mm as per BFADs guide. Some people grind the inside of the wheel, but I would rather not ever do that...

 

Hmm thought all 16's would fit, gives me motivation to get the TRD FJ wheels then lol. Or the later year 4Runner wheels.

 

5 Stars will work, if I found a set that is what I would use. FJs had some sweet wheel choices. I wish I could get a set of the trail teams.

 

Found the trail teams for $600 or so. I like the 5 stars, might even look into the Pro Comp aluminum series wheels.

 

@ramonortiz55 here is a 01-02 master cylinder.

 

This is why God made Superchargers!! But a V-8 with a Supercharger...now we're talking!!!

I was under the same impression. I've read that write-up, but I must have miss read it. Wow, I'm glad I saw this. There's no way I would grind my wheels...talk about throwing of the balancing of a wheel. Not for me. Guess I better by new wheels first.

So your going out on ship now...you'll have some fun in the chop. What kind of ship are you on? Hopefully a nice big AirCraft Carrier...lot smoother ride then being on a small Destroyer!!

That seems like a pretty good price. Heck buy it and swop it out see if it fixes your problem. If not you can just turn around and sell it for no loss. Just an idea...Good luck!

 

Ouch...$6000! One thing nice about owning older vehicles...things are normally cheaper. I picked my S/C up for $1800 with 20,000 miles on it. As far as California...dude that state needs to drift off into the Pacific Ocean and take its BS emission laws with them!!

 

i found out what my problem was w my brakes. .. youll never believe what it was...

 

@rjsimz is the one going out on ship. I'm taking a little surf trip tonight thru Sunday or Monday depending on my classes and weather.

 

i might grab the cylinder. its cheap

 

No brake fluid?

 

Hey...please do tell?

That is nice...we had similar ability in Seattle!

Oops...sorry. Well enjoy the surf then!

 

Guys...that's funny as hell!!

 

bad wheel bearings

 

drivers side was worst.

so bad the rotor wasnt staying put while driving.

so when id brake, the caliper would "straighten" out the rotor..thats why i felt the brake pedal go down deep.

after the rotor would straighten out, thats when id brake like normal

 

i never felt it hum, nor did i felt it vibrate.

found out by checking the wheels for bearing play

 

yup. never was expecting that one.

 

That's nuts. Especially since you never felt it. I'm glad you got it figured out. I know you've been messing with that for a while!

 

WooHoo I love when the Big Brown van stops at the house. Today's delivery was super sweet...I got my upper console!! Looks great! The color matches pretty good...once installed, no one will know the difference. Thanks Jake for all your work...and especially for doing an awesome job packaging everything up. All the wiring is labeled as promised
