TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

Nice, have never seen the numbers on the factory setup, so guess I was way off on “THAT” much lol. Excited to see how it comes out.

 

How’d that happen?
What gear oil and weight do you use?

 

So what am I looking for here?

 

Shit. Is this a matter of wrong installation or improper building? Or what?

 

Ya I use the same. Since it’s cold here it’s sooo thick and it’s killing the little mpgs I was getting.
That’s a bummer on the copper at least replacement parts aren’t horribly expensive or hard to come by.

 

I’d do 5.29’s since you’re an auto. I don’t know how you’re shredding tears though

 

That is true, but still. I thought I beat on my truck haha

 

Fuck yes. All I did was blow an outer CV on the passenger side. It blew but stayed in the boot!

 

Shit. Found more damage

 

I have 4.88 with 285 75 16 and I’m a little over geared. Not unhappy with it as it makes great power down low but freeway driving gets a little old being at high rpms.
Idk if regearing would be worth it to me because of the front diff having to be same as well.

Think I have an extra CV in the garage if you want it. It’s a little full of sand and needs rebuilding but yours for shipping

 

Is that the tube itself? Just outside of the weld area?

 

I’ve had to reweld and add a couple gussets on my cbi twice now.
Looks like you took a sawzall to it

 

OEM?

Ya the weld broke all the way around the tube. Just gonna weld it again and add a gusset plate over the top

It was probably that stupid fucking wash we were in yesterday hahahaha

The spare weighs 110 pounds. Probably only a matter of time.

 

Yeah

 

I drove it from Ca to Va if that counts.
On a daily no I don’t, but deff do lots of long weekend trips that involve lots of freeway miles.

 

Keep em as is. They are perfect Offroad. Hopefully my next set of tires will be the 285 17 17 and I think it’ll be the perfect medium.

 

Never seen that size before. No side walls?

 

Ya it’s a new one solid rubber tire.
