PM sent forth.

I replaced my rack with a new one about three years ago. Took me most of a day, but was certainly doable. Unfortunately, I beant down to pick up a screwdriver before even taking the front wheels off...
I haven't been on here in a very long time, but suddenly developed the urge to give my trusty steed some forced motivation. I am interested in locating a complete 2nd generation (dark gray/black) TRD...
Bob,
It's doing great - absolutely no issues and we've taken it on numerous lengthy trips. A keeper for sure. :)
The 4Runner did great on the sand - no issues with the 4WD whatsoever. I found the...
That sounds logical. Let's see how the beast does tomorrow. I'll post a follow-up.
Andreas
Problem solved - I think! :thumbup:
I went out to the shop and raised the truck onto four stands (the battery had been disconnected for at least 30 min.). Then I gently tapped the vacuum...
I'm leaving very early tomorrow morning for the beach and finally have an issue with my trusty 4Runner that I need to ask for help on. It is stuck in 4WD and apparently the center diff is locked as...
For you MD/VA/PA/DC members, I have a few household items I'd like to move.
1) Fisher woodburning stove circa mid - to late '70s. Very heavy plate steel construction. Good condition and complete...
Rock Slide,
Thank you again for a great job putting that together!
Andreas
Nothing special. I just printed it on an Avery label, adhered it, trimmed it with a razor blade, then sprayed the entire front of the switch with a few coats of clear satin ployurethane. It's held up...
Very nice!
I made my label by scanning the actual Toyota "TRAC OFF" switch which I had purchased before the mod. Since I was was never able to make the stock switch work, I sold it on Ebay.
If...
**SOLD**

The tires are still available. I've had two people show strong interest already but then decide not to purchase.
Andreas
emptypockets,
I found the wiring at the pressure switch to be very sensitive to bad connections. I initially crimped the connections and also had issues similar to what you describe. I went back and...
Here's a pic of how I finished my switch:

Bump for pics :)

I purchased it from Texas Toyota of Grapevine. I think it was $720 or so and included outer tie rods as well. My contact there is Jim Ubinger.

As we sometimes do with mods, I've decided to go back to a set of 275/70/16 Dueler A/T REVOs. I had a set for 50,000 miles and was generally very happy with them. So, I have an almost-new set of...
Looks like I have my Sunday cut out for me!
I also thought about pulling both struts assemblies out, taking them apart, and checking the shock action.
One way or the other, the front end will...
Jamie,
I've been slammed with work this week and intend to carve out some time this weekend to investigate further.
The steering is smooth, the ride is smooth, the tires show no signs of odd...
This is maddening, as I tend to dive into any car-related repair without hesitation. But then again, I tend to know what the issue is and can take care of the problem.
Andy,
I would be hard...
The whole 'shuddering' sensation is rubbery, while it lasts. What else could it be?
Andreas
I wish I knew more about the control arm bushings, and what their life expectancy is. The 'shudder', when it happens, is only momentary. I will remove the front sway bar in a few days to see if...
Jamie,
I have not had the time to get the truck back in the air in order to further troubleshoot. Hopefully I can take some time tomorrow for this.
Surf,
I've had the truck since new, at the...
