TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

I need to get off Ih8mud....





It's produced by a rather new vendor dissent off-road who's a one man shop. Dude does awesome work and love the lower profile look. @SCRunner12 he also mocked up a 1st gen tundra that looks good. Gives ARB and slee a run for their money for sure.

Love that color scheme.

 

Damn that looks sick!

 

Damn you, that Tundra bumper looks amazing and in CA. I won't be able to get a bumper for the Tundra though unless insurance pays for it and the stock is wrecked in an accident. Can't justify it since it's just a DD right now.

 

@llibrm

 

Nice. I dont know if they wife would go for it. Its almost mandatory for driving in Phx with all the stupidity around though

 

@LTDSC
These in either 17 or 18, and then a 285/75/17 or 285/75/18 depending on if I want a 34 or 35. Bronze on red is a thing right?

do it. would look real good

 

17's or 18's? Ill regear to 4.56 at the same time

 

17s, 18s make tires too expensive

 

Because 5th gen?

 

I've started to get a really bad creaking/squeaking when turning my steering wheel. Also, the steering wheel itself squeaks/whines when I turn it. Any ideas on what it is? It isn't that irritating, but just want to be sure it isn't a cause for concern.

 

Grease your upper uniballs

 

also it will take awhile to work its way in. few miles or so.

 

Thanks. Will do. I've used tri flo mostly but heard there are better products? Stick with tri flow or do you reccomend another?

Thanks for the help!

I actually had another question for @LTDSC. What do you think about ADS suspension? @ramonortiz55 is running a GB and I've heard they are fairly comparable to kings.

 

i honestly know nothing about ADS. Heard they have great machining.

 

@SixthSnail if that doesn't work and you don't think its suspension components and feel it's in the steering wheel, try the rubber steering column boot and spray some lube on the shaft where it meets the boot. Had to do that on my brothers 5th gen and it worked.

 

Ask @4Running Daily he loves ADS. Heard customer service is great.

 

@SixthSnail or tighten your drive belts?

 

I've been using Tri-Flow since I have it readily available for my bikes. So far so good

 

Aweseom. Will keep in mind.

I'll look into it more then. Just waiting on @ramonortiz55 to give me a price quote... on Coilovers with Clickers

If that doesn't work, I'll look into this. I just replaced the uniballs so maybe they need more grease than I gave them when installing.

Sounds good!

Hey guys good news! My busy season ended yesterday! Back to semi normal life!!

@dtaco06 when do you want to buy those shock guards?
