Would anyone mind doing a photoshop on these options for me? That would be much appreciated!

I am having a hard time choosing between the 16x8 Procomp 8179 and 7189 black wheels. I will be wrapping them with 265/75/16 BFG Allterrain TA's (black sidewall showing). I already have an OME...

Nice truck. I always have liked that dark green paint color.

I agree. I am going to order the 66" from Wabfab today.

I think you did a good job on the sliders Sean. I may go with the 66" but I think the 60" looks good on your rig.

By the way, are those wheels Cragar soft 8's? I like those wheels.....Do you think...

This may be a silly question....Do the kickouts go on the front or the back of the truck?

I have a 96 Limited with the bigger fender flares. I am going to buy a set of sliders from Brian at WabFab and can't decide between the 60" or 66" length and kick out or no kick out. I took a...

My name is Jason Bassett from Nashville Tn. I have a 96 4Runner 4WD. My wife and I bought the 4Runner last year with the intention of it being her DD (we wanted an SUV since we had a baby on the...

Welcome to UY! Your truck is in great shape.

X2 on the greasing. My 96 was making a similar noise only when going from reverse to drive on the shifter. When I greased my zerk fittings on the drive shafts, the clank seemed to be minimized. I...

I wonder if there is a 3rd gen. problem with a sloppy u-joint in the tilt steering area of the steering shaft? Maybe that is where we are feeling the rattle in the wheel?

I betcha that the bushings are shot as well. When I was turning the rag joint/steering shaft, I noticed that their was some play between the drivers side mount and the bushing sleeve within it. I...

Thanks for the links. That helps out a lot.

How much of a PIA is it to replace the steering rack bushings yourself? Or do you need an extra set of hands to help?

Hey guys,

Here recently I am feeling a rattle in the steering column on the 4Runner. It only happens when I go over small continuous bumps (like RR tracks) or when I go offroading and travel over...

MTL,

I appreciate all the info. It was indeed oil leaking from both of the valve covers. The passenger side was worse than I thought. I went ahead and had my mechanic do the work because I do not...

Thanks MTL for your help. I will verify the problem area.

What other possible sources may be causing the leak?

Hey guys,

I have just discovered an oil leak this past weekend. I took the 4Runner to my mechanic and he told me the valve cover gaskets are leaking oil. He said the passenger side is worse than...

I also checked the tightness of the nuts that secure the UCA shaft/pin. They were not torqued down all the way and sprayed lube on UCA assembly. Thanks for your help guys.

Yeah I thought that may be the case. You know what, the last time I sprayed the grease on the UCA I also sprayed the upper coilover area as well. What I should do now is spray one area at a time to...

Does anyone know if the UCA has a zerk fitting for greasing? Or do you have to get as much grease as you can on the shaft next to the UCA bushings? I am getting a squeak from that area on the drivers...

Yeah man I love M1 motor oil (and their synthetic oil filter also!) I have just started using M1 ATF in my tranny and the shifts seem nice and solid with no hesitation or slipping at gear...

I have a 96 automatic 4Runner and have been using Mobil One synthetic ATF.
Is this okay?

I guess this can be a pretty common problem on IFS vehicles?? I am happy that it was such an easy fix! Only cost about $20.
