    That's a bummer.

    Did you order a wiring kit from them too?

    I don't remember if you said what kit you were gonna do, but if you have everything but the tray, you can at least wire it up and drop the 2nd battery in when the tray arrives.

    I'd give them a call if they haven't already shipped them.

    Hmm changed my dirty plugs, gapped the new ones to the .43 gap, checked the wires and they seem okay although kinda old, checked to see if everything was connected correctly and my truck is running a little rough.
    Still drives fine just at idle.
    Should i replace the wires or any other suggestions?

    Hell can anyone in Redding, Chico, Sacramento or surrounding areas help me install my Toytec springs on my 5100's? There's only one 4x4 shop here in Chico and I've heard about them ripping people off. I can remove my old struts, but I don't have a beefy enough spring compressor to remove the top hats off the old struts and put them on the new ones. I've done it plenty of times on cars and know if I just have a safe spring compressor I could do it myself. I can pay...just don't wanna go to this local place and have them try and charge me a grip.

    Unless you guys think that the Kragen compressors I can rent will be strong enough? I just don't want them breaking and having a spring punch a hole in my chest..

    When you say "rough" what exactly do you mean?

    What kind of plugs did you use and how did you gap them?
    For plug wires, test the resistance of each plug wire, they should be 25 kilohms or less. As long as they are less than that and they don't shock you when moving them around while the truck is running, there's really no need to replace them.
    Definitely clean the MAF sensor. Use only MAF cleaner and I recommend disconnecting the battery before removing and keeping disconnected before hooking the battery back up.
    When is the last time you replaced the fuel filter?

    Is picking up some gusseted spindles worth it? There's a guy selling a pair for $250 but he's not had any luck at that price. Should I talk him down a bit and pick them up? I've heard they break and it's something I would rather not deal with if I can just replace them. I need to repack my CV's with grease while I'm at it anyways.

    Spindle gussets are $45.
    The guys that break/bend them with gussets drive like me, not you.

    I might know of some 4runner guys who can help. Or you can go to the Mod day on Saturday and get it done. Vacaville isn't too far from Chico.

    Yeah but you have to factor in that I can't weld worth a damn and would rather buy a set already welded. There's no way to break them on a trail crawling around? I slammed my front end hard a few times on the trail. I drive like shit. What action puts enough force on them for them to crack?

    Stop by my house and bring beer.

    Hard hits. I've only seen two second gens with bent gusseted spindles. Both were LT trucks.

    Haha I wouldn't mind driving through Tahoe but I don't have any free days anymore now that classes started back up for me. I'm going to file taxes soon and hoard money this winter so I can get new tires. That's still priority #1 before I buy other things.

    I think any Goodyear, wheel works will disassemble and reassemble for you. Not sure if that helps or if you want a 4x4 shop specifically.
