    I did this for about 3 years.. finally wouldn’t hold any pressure.
    The filter was absolutely filthy too. Probably from all the stop leak.

    Interesting, even in the low pressure side?
    I was surprised to find that my 97 4Runner didn’t even have a cabin air filter…
    I know it hasn’t been looked at in 28 years. Scared to even take a peep, but the air doesn’t smell on that one…

    ok, I know LSK bolts their LCA in and uses the UCA to adjust alignment. I am getting tired of knocking mine out every single time I hit the des. And always the Driverside.

    Thinking of bolting the LCA in my current kit as they have UCA with thread hiems.

    Or just go with the LSK 4x4 kit.
    thoughts?

    Do you have the JDfab lower pivot kit? If you dont that is a cheaper alternative. Once I put mine on the alignment never moved again no matter how hard the hit. The LSK kit suggest welding the lowers into place

    They won't do a thing for very thin and weak brackets.

    I tried those and could not get a good alignment..
    I did marlin crawler gussets and they’ve been solid.

    do they actually fail at the seams of the core? i always wondered if that was the actual problem or at the fittings into the core at the orings that i found out after the fact you can do from the engine bay...lol. but i have a vintage air hvac in now which is like 1/2-1/3 the size of the factory setup. doesn't output nearly as much but i also don't daily my truck anymore so oh well.

    04' 4Runner, in the past I would often have VSC/TRAC/ABS lights on from I am assuming a bad connection in the rear sensor wiring, but this would never throw a CEL.

    Over the winter I removed the the front speeds sensors and wiring and have put several thousand miles on it with nothing other than the VSC/TRAC/ABS lights on, which do not cause any issues other than the ABS not working, which is great.

    This weekend during a cruise in the mountains I noticed the spedo and odometer stopped working and got a CEL. Yesterday I pulled the code and it is P0500, Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS). I also noticed that the fuel gauge was going up and down nearly a quarter tank while at a stop.

    The internet tells me I should try putting the sensors back in, but it has been fine for thousands of miles, so I don't think that is it. Anyone have any experience or insight?

    My truck would do this after the 3rd speed sensor would go out. 1st, 2nd I would get the lights, but the 3rd would disable the speedo and throw mil. I put in a speed sensor in the TC and wired direct to the speedo.

    Interesting, I have the rears still hooked up (but wanted to remove them as well), so maybe one of them took a shit. Ill check those, then try connecting the fronts again. Thanks!
