I'm searching high and low for a 99 4runner ... so far my plans straight out of the gate are going to be all mechanical maintenance. New Timing Belt and pulley kit (includes waterpump). Might as well do the thermostat or at least check it too. Hoses, belts, lower ball joints, Tundra caliper...

I'm just getting to building my first real expedition rig... I've been exploring for years but never had a proper rig to really do it right and have put my daily drivers in jeopardy more than once. Now that I'm partaking on this journey to build a dedicated expedition rig I'm curious to hear...

Thanks guys! both of your recent posts have put things into perspective. there are three clear paths I can now see as far as tires are concerned that range from the cost of stock size tires to about 1400 for front and rear re-gear, if I install them myself, or putting on 32" tires and...

I was reading about the LC 7 coil lift for the rear but many reported that they were getting 3.5 or 4" lifts out of them. I'm looking for a modest 2" lift that is fairly level from front to rear. seems like the Tundra Bilstein 5100's all the way around with tundra TRD coils in front and OME...

First I'd like to introduce myself and say thanks for all the wonderful posts full of information on here. I've gained a lot of knowledge from lurking but now I'd like to participate in the forum as I am about to partake in a 4runner Expo build and need some clarification on a few things I...
