TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

Which one?

 

We're so slammed right now with current orders I don't know when we'll get to the 3rd gen 4Runner stuff. The extra shop should be done in a couple months, hopefully, which ought to help reduce lead times and allow us to get new product developed. The only thing I do know is that the prices probably wont stray too far from the current average costs of front and rear bumpers in the Toyota lineup.

 

One off Virginia beach blvd. They did good work. Although, I did watch my truck drive out of the shop and down a street and back. I should have brought that up to the desk but I'm too tired to cause any trouble.

 

@SCRunner12

Got my Oil, Tee fitting, and 1/2in hose.

Napa didn't have any hose, and all auto zone had was 5/32, which may work, I will check CarQuest first. None of the parts stores have the brake booster check valves, so I will order one off Amazon.

I am going to try to find more stuff from Toyota before I ship the gasket. $7 part $13 shipping.

 

They were probably just making sure the steering wheel was centered and your truck tracked straight.

 

4th Gen Anyone?

 

@Boffroad

 

Like someone else said they were just checking it. The shop I used to work at would do that ti make sure everything was good because sometimes getting the wheels all straight involves straying away from factory settings due to something being bent or whatever. That's the reason why some shops won't touch lifted trucks, they're too lazy to do the potential extra work

 

I want that bumpa!!!

 

woot 4th gens. need more 4th gens here

 

Yeah the gasket is a rip off if you're not getting additional parts. I haven't found a good replacement for the check valve, so if you do let me know and I'll update the TRD SC thread on T4R.

 

Looks like my skids should be here, going by my parents place tonight to check them out.

 

My tie-rods are jacked up too. Right now it is sitting till I get new ones in, which should be here on Friday. Here are my numbers

 

I threw away my sheet, but they were honestly around that. I have new ones in, just a matter of getting an appointment.

 

The shop only charged me for half the alignment so that was cool. He said he would charge me the normal labor rate even though I am buying my own parts(he usually charges more if you bring your own in). That is my problem as well, I have to do a 200 mile round trip drive in a week and half and I want it done before that. I am hoping I can just drop it off before work one day and pick it up the next day.

 

My dad and I put the tie rods in ourselves (took about 45 minutes) and did an oil change. Now she's got Mobil 1 Synthetic

 

I get my next tie rod done for free. Thanks Toyota

 

I unfortunately don't have anywhere to work on my Runner at. Also the driver side he is pretty sure he will have to torch off, the whole unit just spins when you try to adjust it. I am hoping this will fix the vibration I have been having with the 4Runner. Lift and new tires didn't help lol

 

We had to torch mine. Let me tell you..that was a pain in the ass.

 

Did you get the reboot kit or did you re-use the old boots?
