TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

I don't think I could find a tundy for 8.4 though. Might have to make a sacrifice.

 

Hahaha PM me a price shipped to 32536. I'll take those while I stack up cash for tires later.

 

I have never done CV's so I'm not looking forward to doing them. Probably going to be a super slow process.

 

285/75/17. Such a badass size. Not too wide but just shy of a 35!

 

You get your electrical issues worked out?

 

Yeah man I think so! Got the new battery but the new terminals suck. Long story short, nothing is making a good contact on these terminals so I need new ones.

 

It's really not that difficult, just take your time. Nothing about it is very hard, getting it to line up when reinstalling might take a few try's though.

 

This. It took me a while to find that sweet spot getting the splines to line up when putting it back in. It's fun.

 

One time I used my dead blow hammer and it worked, nothing broke. I was in a rush, deff more potential to break something though.

 

Yeah cvs are easy just super messy. Hardest part is removal/install. Make sure you get some snap ring pliers.

That's what I have on the tundra. I love the size and might throw them on my 3rd gen just to cruise around with for a bit.

Don't think you'll be buying happiness either....haha just busting your balls. Sounds like a solid buy and you'll love the V8.

 

Hmm each vehicle must be a bit different, I use a huge flathead screwdriver and they pop right out for me. No pounding required.

What ever it takes to get the job done!!!

 

Yeah crow bar and sledge was key for sure

 

Hahaha. We'll see what happens.

 

It's pretty nice. Just gotta trim some stuff. I always hated the way 285/70/17 looked on my truck. These just fill out everything better.

 

Can do, I ripped one apart just to see what it entails and it doesn't seem too bad. I have some boots but some how misplaced the grease, part of what's taking me so long. I've slowly been making a list of things I need to do and this keeps climbing higher and higher. Hoping for a streak of warm weather and free time.

How are you liking VA so far? Did you make it in time for last snow fall?

 

So far it's not too bad. Rains a lot so I have to get used to wearing a jacket. I'be walked out into the rain a couple times and had to go back inside to get more clothes.

Ya my list is long right now too. Today I'm doing my drive belts and oil change. Maybe the front diff fluid too.

Think I needed that kick in the ass to realize that I should never do something so dumb again.

 

Any other details on this? If it is in good condition and you don't buy if you would be willing to pass the info along, lmk. Cheers

 

Not used to no spoiler but it may grow on me.

Haven't gotten it yet but it's the one I'm looking at on Tuesday.
