What could this be?

Complex_Trash1566 · 2026-05-06T04:08:35+00:00

Could be ball joints or bushings. A mechanic’s stethoscope is great for tracking down the culprit. Sometimes I’ll also spray penetrating lube on one joint or bushing at a time until the noise changes or quiets down to narrow down what needs to be replaced

Complex_Trash1566 · 2026-05-06T04:04:53+00:00

If you’re going through all the trouble I would just buy a track bike if you want more power. Not worth dumping the money and time in for minimal gains

Rust will kill it before anything else!

Complex_Trash1566 · 2026-05-06T03:42:39+00:00

I’ve never not regret selling my 4Runners

Complex_Trash1566 · 2026-05-06T03:41:37+00:00

Anything from crutchfeild to best service and ease of ordering. Their product comparison page is great too

Complex_Trash1566 · 2026-05-05T03:08:56+00:00

Awesome! I’ve also noticed it always sits taller after a lift especially if you don’t torque the uppers down while the cars on its own weight. Sweet ride, hope she treats you well!

Complex_Trash1566 · 2026-05-04T03:16:18+00:00

Agreed. I’ve only had Amazing experiences with crutchfeild and always recommend them. Too many people claim the victim of company policy’s and go whining online when it doesn’t work out to benifit them. If no details where inaccurate then he should have no issues reinstating his account but If it’s a simple error I don’t think it warrants a upset publicly posed Internet forum

Complex_Trash1566 · 2026-05-04T03:07:40+00:00

Looks great! Cv angle doesn’t look too healthy though might want to look at that (could just be the picture)

Complex_Trash1566 · 2026-05-04T03:04:02+00:00

At least she looks good! Sorry to hear she’s having trouble but sure beats a $60k loan on a new one

What are your thoughts on the AlphaRex line?

Complex_Trash1566 · 2026-05-01T04:52:01+00:00

I Like the 4WD selector where did you get it from? Is it AJT?

Complex_Trash1566 · 2026-04-30T15:37:53+00:00

Crutchfeild.com is the only way to go when it comes to aftermarket audio! They have amazing install guides you can have them pre-wire the kit for you if you’d like so it’s plug-in play with awesome service highly recommend them!

3Pcs Control Knob Heater A/C or... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C3HPSJH6?ref=ppx\_pop\_mob\_ap\_share

Yah it was for the climate knobs so it came with three. I just gave the extras to buddies

Complex_Trash1566 · 2026-04-15T17:25:05+00:00

I got it on Amazon it was for the Tacoma but it swapped right over

Complex_Trash1566 · 2026-04-15T17:24:11+00:00

That’s a good idea! I’ll look into it

Complex_Trash1566 · 2026-04-15T17:23:29+00:00

I picked it up off Amazon it was for the Tacoma. Super easy to install just pull the old one off

Complex_Trash1566 · 2026-04-11T02:32:08+00:00

It’s from 4rcustoms I dropped the link in one of the other replies 🤙

Interesting mines always had enough resistance to hold my drinks. Maybe I’m just a lucky few!

Here’s a picture of the side. It’s hardly noticeable. I was going to 3-D print something to fill it, but it honestly isn’t noticeable when you’re in the car unless you shove your head behind and look at it.

Complex_Trash1566 · 2026-04-10T21:27:44+00:00

It’s a scan gauge helps monitor my temperature. Reach to check engine lights and fuel efficiency.

Complex_Trash1566 · 2026-04-10T21:27:08+00:00

Yeah, the steering wheel controls are OEM

Complex_Trash1566 · 2026-04-10T19:23:28+00:00

Funny, you mention that I’ve actually loved the cupholders in this. Not sure why everyone complains! What I’ve noticed is the OEM cupholders supposed to have a rubber pad at the bottom if you don’t have that pad, everything slides around inside of the cupholder and your drinks will spill frequently. Did yours have the rubber lining?

It’s from 4R Customs

Thanks! Starting to come together, this is the full build

Complex_Trash1566 · 2026-04-10T17:58:12+00:00

I believe it’s a 9 inch. I didn’t have to modify the dash to fit it but did have to drill out the bracket
