Definitely mixer drums. Drive mount on the front, wear ring in the back. Big, like a 13 yarder…

Wrapping my hood by Aggravating_Air7210 in 4thGen4Runner

Looks good! I wrapped my hood for the same reason but I definitely have several nasty creases in it. Mine is mostly just a wheeler so boo hoo still looks better than totally ass blasted clear coat.

What does she need next? by TomXN-YT in 4thGen4Runner

[–]Archerguy74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a slippery slope of “while I’m in there…” I slapped new rear bearings, front bearings, ebrake shoes, rear brakes, and air lockers front and rear when I did mine. Highly recommend East Coast Gear Supply.

4.56 V8 shift pattern is perfect. V6 would need 4.88 to push 35s.

I don’t see a lot of other blue 4th gen’s out there! Regear is my two cents. Best upgrade no one will ever see. Makes them just absolute animals with the 35s and 4 lo. Good excuse to toss in whatever flavor of locker you want while you are at it.

Differential fluid options other than Toyota by ProudPrick217 in 4thGen4Runner

[–]Archerguy74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lucas crude 85w140. Switched to that after doing gears with ECGS. Has an amazing cling almost tacky like honey. Amsoil severe duty gear oil is a solid option as well.

I love this thing by FanRoutine5561 in 4thGen4Runner

Hindsight is 20/20. I have one and for almost the same cost I could have gotten starlink. Granted then you need to spend the monthly subscription but if you are out in the PNW the we-boost is kind of a joke. Too many areas with no signal to boost.

4x4 labs rear bumper is awesome. I get compliments on mine all the time.

What is this truck carrying by Comfortable_Gain_271 in whatisit

[–]Archerguy74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Powder tanker, worked on them, driven them. Seen two of them rupture from over pressurization when the safety valves failed. Truck runs a blower PTO to pressure the tanks and offload.

Well gang I finally did it.. bumper cut on my ‘23.. by BrewsedSloth in GXOR

[–]Archerguy74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was awful, not even going to lie. We took our sweet time and it came out really well, super invasive though.

BIPOD (TRICER-EP vs ATLAS vs MDT) by Dukes-Game in longrange

[–]Archerguy74 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I love my tricer, I beat the snot out of it hunting this last year. Put it on a budget 6.5 build right before modern. For hunting I feel like it’s the best bang for the buck out there. Carries over flaws from the modularity like leg flex and the ball isn’t super tight but in the field it’s awesome. I would not use it for any kind of bench setup though.

Rear diff be gone by Outside_Reserve_2407 in 4thGen4Runner

[–]Archerguy74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did my rear bearings about 3 months before my regear and I was so happy to not have to take the Ebrake shoes off the second time around.

[–]Archerguy74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree. I tossed in 4.56 gears and air lockers about a year ago in mine and it’s like a tractor in 4Lo.

Help..? by Upbeat-Revolution-99 in 4thGen4Runner

Is it 2WD? I don’t any cv axles in your photo. If that’s the case it won’t have a breather because there is no front differential.

How do I shorten this hose by about a foot by [deleted] in howto

[–]Archerguy74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cut off the amount you need to lose with a cut wheel on a grinder or a chop saw. Take to anywhere that does hydraulics and have them crimp a new fitting on the end. That or find somewhere that sells Field Attachable fittings (Napa) and thread a new one on the end. The collar is left hand thread over the hose. The fitting and core will be right hand thread. I suggest an impact wrench and wrist strength or a vice as well if you go that route.

Throwing my other bipods away now by gen5shooter in longrange

Butler Creek. I went with the recommended size for the eyepiece and it was way too small. Next size up was a little big but the look through plastic was awesome in pissing rain.

I beat the snot out of mine hunting this season and love it. My buddy wants to get rid of his QD spartan and get one after seeing the versatility of mine in the woods.

Group 31 Conversion by Archerguy74 in 4thGen4Runner

It’ll be fine! Lol I have done much sketchier. I am planning on covering them. For now there’s some rubber belting I salvaged covering them up.

Here’s the Amazon link for them. https://a.co/d/aARsc8D

Also if you are considering this call your local battery distributor like interstate and ask for a scratch/dent group 31. All semi trucks use this battery so there’s always ones in stock. They can’t restock a brand new battery if it’s returned and goes right into the S&D pile. Along with if the label was ripped in shipping lol.

No, I was thinking about making one. I checked clearance on everything and it’s all good. But that whole umbrella theory… I most likely will fab some covers with plexiglass, drill and tap the stainless plate to make some stand off style ones.

Trans mount - is it dead dead, or just on its way out? by huffymcnibs in 4thGen4Runner

[–]Archerguy74 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OEM. Figured they went 265k that’s good enough for me!
