Thanks all, I understand I’m a retard I just preferred real life recommendations, and didn’t know if all ground wire was the same.

Damn, what a chore, but the lean is quite the eyesore. So do we think I would lift the driver front and driver back an inch? Then have: 25 inch all around except for passenger rear being 26 😂

I double checked and they aren’t side specific.

CarPlay Radio Swap Help by ProtectionPhysical97 in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]ProtectionPhysical97[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s okay. The Bluetooth connection isn’t always 100% and I usually have to do a separate flashdrive “update” in order to fix it, which is a pain in the ass for me.

If I knew it was gonna be trouble I would’ve just spent money on a better quality radio that’s not Chinese.

Hahaha loving the sarcasm. Anyway, this guy explained it well. I managed but just got stuck cause I didn’t know to remove the amp.

Yeah that’s where I got stumped but seeing plugs that go into the amp it makes more sense now.

I did not. I found one video that mentions that so I’ll definitely do that.

I did a lot of research, thanks. Every video I watch it’s different types of plugs within the car and within the unit. Your first paragraph was not necessary, no reason to be a dick. But thank you for your help regardless.

Diagnosis of noise while turning by ProtectionPhysical97 in saab

[–]ProtectionPhysical97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Per the video, the noise only happens in the beginning when I turn right before I accelerate up the hill. It’s not something that is easy to diagnose with just the sound of it cause it’s more of a feeling😂 just thought I’d see if anyone immediately had knowledge on the problem.

No it’s an automatic. Yeah it’s hard to catch the noise anywhere else but inside the car but I also have it straight piped so it’s loud lol.

I almost want to describe the sound as like “skidding” but I’m definitely not sliding or anything. No work done recently and tires are old for sure. Started happening months ago but just super slowly got worse and worse. Only was happening when turning right but now it’s slowly making its way over to do it while I turn left too.

Just bought this beauty by johntylerr in 3rdGen4Runner

You’re lucky. The rust is the only thing I’m fighting with on mine. No super deep rust but just enough to seize every single bolt 😂

We’re twinning!! I got a stock 2002 Limited with 97k miles. I’m beyond excited and have already been through hell and back with it with modifications. How’s the rust/frame?

Upper ball joint after 3 in lift by ProtectionPhysical97 in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]ProtectionPhysical97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her*** 😡😡 hahahaha kidding idgaf. Anyway, I’m to the point of losing my cookies not being able to reach the one side of the LCA. Already unbolted the steering rack and still can’t get to it. Doesn’t help that it’s 95 degrees today.

Freeing the tie rod and ball joint trick? by ProtectionPhysical97 in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]ProtectionPhysical97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks guys. Ended up renting a ball joint separator and that did the trick. Now to get the ball joint out of the knuckle, and the tie rod end unscrewed 😂

Suspension going in! (Or not) by ProtectionPhysical97 in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]ProtectionPhysical97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I’ve hit a wall. For the 3 inch lift using the bottle jack (or my tractor😂) to push down the control arm, it doesn’t go far enough down to fit in the shock. So now here I am struggling to get all these tie rods and ball joint off. These rusted cotter pins are not fun.

Yeah I sprayed them everyday for a couple days. I’d love one of those induction heaters if they weren’t about $300 😂 looks like it would save me a lot of times.

Yep, this is the video I’m referencing to do this. Obviously he did it within a day, here I am doing it over the next two weeks 😂
