    Trying to score some used BFG A/T's for the Runner. I hate having 31's on her, look way to small.

    Nice! When do you plan on installing it? If I don't get these tires I am going to order the 4Xinnovation Sliders.

    i have a used MAF if anyone needs to borrow one for diagnostics.

    works well.

    bought the runner used and replaced the MAF with a new one.

    did that as my own preventative maintenance.

    no check engine light

    Nice, can't wait to see it on your Runner. I am now in the stage of figuring out where I want to go this Runner, armor or lift. Hard questions lol

    You have a buch of stuff to install on your Runner! Did you replace the LBJ with OEM replacement or did you do the Tacoma LBJ? How hard was the job?

    OEM.

    i was advised to replace the bolts also, cause after awhile they could shear due to age. 3rd gens have issues with LBJs..

    it was an easy job, i recommend having a pickle fork and tie rod end puller

    I am planning on doing mine at some point. I am debating going to the Taco LBJ since they are bigger and *supposed* to be stronger. That is good to know, I tried doing the LBJ's on a 1st Gen and it was P.I.T.A!

    the taco LBJs are a little stronger. but they reduce your turning radius greatly. keep that in mind when you do that

    I did not know that. That is good to know, with that information I will probably stick with the OEM ones.

    Ya, been debating getting their skid plates for awhile. 15% off is a pretty good deal.
