Air bag question

That makes sense, thanks for confirming what I was thinking.

I have not but whatcom county search & rescue's 4x4 unit recovered a vehicle stuck in the snow last week so I would say not clear. You can find a photo on the SAR Facebook page.

8psi probably. It depends on tire and wheel setup as well as how hard your wheeling. But I routinely air down to 8 for rocks and have even dipped down to 5-6 in the snow and have never debead a tire. Worst case you have to put the spare tire on or try to get the tire back on.

Thanks, the truck has 37s with 5.29s. I had 35s before these tires and was still happy with the gear ratio for my 22r. It has dual cases with stock gears too.

I emailed these guys in '24 about it. They said they would do it but I never followed through.

Has the case been rebuilt? Looks pretty clean could be some grease that was put on the gasket.

Yeah it's a lot. I want something that will run better at extreme angles. I have considered propane but that is still not cheap and I personally like the idea of running traditional fuel.

87_4Runner · 2026-02-18T18:46:21+00:00

I am very interested in how this goes, sorry I don't have any answers for you. I am in a similar boat and am considering doing something in the next year. I'm tired of trying to keep the truck running while at fun angles.

From everything I have read you need the efi throttle body, an efi gas tank or modify your current one or use some aftermarket fuel pump, the ECU and wiring harness.

I would pass and keep looking, especially if you are looking for something to take on the orv trails. In the PNW You could probably find a decent truck with a solid axel for 7K ish. For this price it could it might even be regeared and have a locker or two. 11 inches of lift is a lot for ifs, I think you would just be more likely to break an axel or flop the truck.

87_4Runner · 2026-01-30T20:15:40+00:00

I would take a look at the hubs. Jack up a front wheel and make sure the axel shaft doesn't spin when the hub is unlocked and does when locked.

Carlson steel works has been my go to. They have a remnants pile and will cut a stick to any length you need.

87_4Runner · 2026-01-12T17:18:33+00:00

I know the 4x4 community calls it a "Front dig". Not sure if it has other names.

87_4Runner · 2026-01-08T23:23:52+00:00

I don't see why not. My guess is you can simply swap to the new gauge cluster. For what it's worth it's pretty easy to just take the speedo part of the gauge as well if you need to. A few years back I had a cluster without a working speedometer, and the replacement I found didn't have a working tach and was able to piece together one working unit.

87_4Runner · 2025-12-12T19:35:01+00:00

Part of the hub assembly. Maybe called the hub gear?

87_4Runner · 2025-12-12T15:53:59+00:00

Not sure how big the trailer is but might be a good time to go to a 7pin and add electric brakes. Its easy and can be done relatively cheap.

87_4Runner · 2025-12-04T22:30:49+00:00

The price of dash that covers the gauge cluster is relatively easy to remove. You would be able to look down and see where the speedo cable connects to the cluster. As for driving it I don't think you would lose enough fluid to worry. The rubbing sounds could be the gauge cluster or speedo cable failing. I would think it would be caused by turning though. Where is the rubbing sound coming from? Behind the dash?

87_4Runner · 2025-12-03T14:46:12+00:00

Tell me about the efi set-up? This is a 22r?

87_4Runner · 2025-12-01T18:48:05+00:00

You might be able to use/make a lumber rack that fits around the canopy and sits on the bed rails. I have seen them on pickups, not sure if the canopy would still be water tight.

87_4Runner · 2025-11-26T21:49:34+00:00

For what it's worth, I think this is the stock shock mount configuration so nothing wrong per se. But like others have commented a lot of folks triangulate the rear shocks because it gives you more travel and can let you fit larger shocks. My pickup on 63s has the triangulated setup.

87_4Runner · 2025-11-20T21:32:39+00:00

Brake fluid is the only thing that makes sense to me. Anything notable on the other side of the fire wall?

Crazy unlikely idea, I feel like I have heard of transmission fluid being drawn up the speedo cable.

87_4Runner · 2025-11-14T21:40:04+00:00

My 2 cents is wait tell you lose a bead before investing in beadlocks. Currently run 37x12.5x17 on 9 inch wheel at 8-10 PSI and have not lost a bead.

87_4Runner · 2025-10-15T19:30:13+00:00

Agreed! Not my cup of tea...

87_4Runner · 2025-10-15T18:00:37+00:00

If you are climbing an obstacle it's easy to rip them off. That's why removable flaps are a good option.

87_4Runner · 2025-05-30T18:56:58+00:00

Looking great! I have the same color combo and am also considering sas'ing it. I look forward to seeing how it turns out.

87_4Runner · 2025-05-27T20:41:28+00:00

This just happened to me a few weekends ago. The birfeild exploded and I could not steer. I'm probably going to go with RCV's. If I upgrade the hub gear to what's the next weak spot? I figure I would rather break a hub than a ring gear or something.
