TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

Ok so before I drove from Cali to va I replaced the rack along with inner and outer tierods all oem. Drove great all 3k miles. Now the last two days at slow speeds when I turn I get a little pop. Not quite a clunk but I can feel it in the floor board. Is it the steering column, or what else could it be?

Lbj aren't more than a year old and uppers are icons. Lca bushings are about a year old oem.

All bolts on a quick sweep were tight. Didn't do it with the old loose rack.

 

This.

Dual VVTI was only for the V6. They could easily have put a blower on, just needed a spacer to clear the VVTI, it was the issue with rods breaking. They figured out pretty quick the SC's were causing too much strain on the engines at higher boost and blowing them up so rather than poor more money/time it was easier to just scrap it and focus on the new 5.7.

 

Yeah that is when they did it. That is why the 5th gen never got a SC.

 

You could SC the non-VVTI V8's and single VVTI V6. People have added an SC to the VVTI V8, just need to make a spacer and a couple other small parts. I've been tempted...

 

This is probably what I'll be attempting when I find a replacement 4Runner. But as I'm sure you all know, V8 4Runners aren't easy to come by.

 

Loved how the kids were interacting and helping out with the thumbs up. Good video.

 

Depends on how you see yourself using it. The OEM bumper skin is pretty unforgiving against damage, but you'll also get into some hairy shit before you need better approach angle. I like my full armor, but sometimes I wish it was 500 lbs lighter.

Starting to feel like a tank, but maybe a re-gear will help.

 

Oh, and obligatory picture. So much for making the truck feel lighter



They're wayyyy bigger than my 33" KO2s. Not on the truck yet, figured I'd wait until the weekend to trim for clearance. Plus America's Tire wouldn't mount them on the truck without TPMS sensors.

 

I'll be heading to the Mint400 this year in Vegas. If any of you are in my travels or heading there as well let me know. Beers on me.

 

I shoulda got stationed on the west coast...

 

West coast is the best coast.

 

Yes!!! Stoked to see them on

 

his name Nick?

I follow him on IG if so

 

@Mr.NickG for IG

 

he makes me want to be better with my trail pics. I just get wrapped up in the moment and forget

 

@RedRunner87
Get those LEDs wired up?

 

On the front bumper? Nope went to Vegas for a week and straight to work.

 

Goodness, running into a lot of good deals on v8 runners around the 10-12k mark....but truck bed....

 

The bed is so nice. Now that I have one I don't think can go back

 

Aghhhh. But look,
