naw... hitrac was not more durable... smaller diff, smaller brakes, smaller bearings, steering in compression rather than extension... But... I always liked that suspension.

depends on need. Would *I* put $5-10k into IFS? Hell no. For a DD/light wheeler, c/o's,UCA's, diff drop, sane driving and sane expectations are just fine. Until last month, we had 3 lifted IFS rigs and the SAS'd tacoma. Sold two of the IFS rigs, so down to the xtracab and doublecab...

other than a larger clamshell, no... not at all accurate.

you're going to get dozens of opinions... Would *I* do it? Nope. Especially coming from a heavy 1/2 diesel.

And those two times are the reason to have one….

The moment you said “mostly solo,” the answer became “absolutely yes.”

After 8 years with the 5th gen 4Runner, we replaced my wife’s DD with a 21 gx460 premium. so far, she loves it.

I think he eventually went with daystar lower cradles as well? Been years since I read the thread.

Prices have jumped... $6-8K is about what I'd expect for a good respray. Maybe consider a wrap? Probably be about 1/2 the cost..

if your shift is complete, it wouldn't leave you in neutral, no? Did you remove the actuator at one point?

did you actually take the actuator apart? My understanding is that the only way to sync the actuator correctly is to split the case. when I replaced the dual case adapter on the tacoma ~11 years ago, I pulled the actuator w/o research. After talking to a local toyota tech, I just did a junkyard...

this isn't an easy read, per se, but it may help... it's also a great reference document. http://www.billavista.com/Tech/Articles/Brake_Bible/index.html

got it. i misread. i've owned 4 2nd Gen tundras... never got close to 20mpg. 13-14 average, 18.4 was a peak.

uh... I think you're about right at 12mpg. 20 in an 80? Downhill with a tailwind, perhaps?

updates?

shelves are cool. Just be careful those heavy items don't become projectiles in an accident and/or rough conditions.

maybe/maybe not? I've owned a bunch of 4.7's. Towed 6500# with them fairly regularly. I personally never had a problem with the manifolds. I also was fortunate to never have a problem with losing 4th gear in the trans, which was common in the 4-speeds. Shoot, I never even had rusty frame...

common problem across all 4.7's... not just a 4runner thing at all.
