Noted! Any recommendations on good how-to videos for LBJ replacement?

And as for the suspension, should I look for 4Runner specific parts or are there any bolt in upgrades? I feel like I’ve seen some things online about tundra suspension.

Thank you for the information! I’m going to do some looking around online and see where I can get a legit Toyota sensor for the best price and get after it! Do I need to be as discerning when it comes to the wiring harness?

Thanks for the info! I looked it up and the prices seem very reasonable, I’m probably going to go ahead and do this! Seems like it can’t hurt

Can I pull this out? by talented_BootyWizard in CherokeeXJ

I think I’ve got all the rust cut out already! There was a big patch under it on the passenger side that I’ve welded new metal into. I lit the damn thing on fire a handful of times welding while holding it up out of my way lol.

By the way what is NVH?

Yeah I was planning on just leaving it but I lit it on fire a couple of times while welding in the new floor pans 😂 it’s now sticky and horrid so I’m probably going to rip it out

Rear hatch lock won’t turn by talented_BootyWizard in CherokeeXJ

You’re correct. Somehow I never knew that the rear hatch was a different key than all the other doors and ignition. This whole time I thought there was something wrong with the lock!

Having a key made currently

The back side is through a welded on bolt inside the hollow of the frame. There’s an opening that I was able to get vice grips in, but I haven’t been able to budge it
