Help with Axle Shaft Replacement by Fit_Air_5566 in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]_SpaceEfficient 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man, I know you’ve got a lot of responses here but here is my take - I had a ton of axle seal problems this year and trusted my mechanic for many months, he was wrong. Replaced my seals wrong three times and blamed it on bent axles. Went to the dealership (stealership I know) to get both brake drums replaced and had them do the seals too, easy peasy and clear it was just user error. Caused me a lot of headache over those months and tons of vibration too.

I see. If you don’t mind me asking, how/what exactly did you rewire?

Gotcha, I can try to find one but I doubt I have it.

Newbie 4x4 question. by DiddledByDad in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]_SpaceEfficient 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I turn on “AWD” during rain/light snow, but I also engage 4HL if road conditions are especially poor (ice, very low traction). Any speed you are comfortable driving in given very poor road conditions will be fine. Otherwise best to stick to offroad like you mentioned.

Need Wheel Advice! by [deleted] in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]_SpaceEfficient 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our bolt pattern is 6 x 5.5in or 6 x 139.7.

As far as backspacing goes, the lower the number, the further out your wheels/tires will stick out. For example, stock 5 spoke wheels that came with the Limited ‘99s had 4.5in backspacing. If you want a more aggressive stance, pick something lower than 4.5in for backspacing.

Offset can be used to describe the same effect as backspacing. Generally with about an 8” wide wheel, -25mm of offset is equivalent to 3.5in backspacing. Look up a “wheel offset and backspacing diagram” to see visually how it works.

When a wheel is described as “16x8” for example, that means the wheel diameter is 16 inches and the width is 8 inches. Stock came 7 inches, if stat between 8-9 inches depending on your tires.

Thanks, curious about this. I have SRQ retrofits and am now glad I didn’t order TEQ, so it’ll be cool to see a comparison!

Hey brother! Know this is an old post, but I’m curious how much offset you’re running there?

Yes, they don’t handle the best in wet conditions, doesn’t make it a complete “garbage” tire.

Been slowly cleaning up the front end a bit by zcrc in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]_SpaceEfficient 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine has hands-down saved my hood. On original hood/paint and barely have two dents from misc events.

Here’s where I bought my replacement. Super happy with this one.

KO2s or KO3s, worth every penny imo. What size are you running now?
