    Is it dangerous to cut and weld brackets to the frames? Does this weaken the frame?

    I lost what I would call a “track nut” (see pics) while painting the roof racks on the ‘99 Suburban. Have the bolt, but not the nut. Exhaustive searches inside and outside the vehicle, including sweeping with a magnet, have turned up nothing. Short of hitting a pic a part boneyard (I am up in...

    And now you know the reason for the leaking output seal. Are you going to restore bracket to OEM?

    That there is some mods I would never do. How often do you really need the lift mod? 98% of use will be on highway.

    CV Axle Seperation

    Thinking this through… 1. Think of the arc scribed by the swing of the control arms. 2. Loaded, his CV axle angle upward, meaning the axle is already closer to it limit within the tripod. 2. No bump stops allows CV axle to swing further up, extending axle further out and likely breaching its...

    CV Axle Seperation

    Went out and took a pic of the driver’s side CV axle on the ‘99 K2500 Suburban. My memory is accurate, as it is angled down while loaded.

    CV Axle Seperation

    Never seen anything like this and it’s a total head scratcher. I’m thinking it’s something done by prior owner in lifting it. Why were the bump stops missing? Was that from prior owner? The CV axles angled up when suspension is loaded seems wrong. I’ll check on mine today, but memory says they...

    I offered this and she has turned it down.

    All I can say is that it was worth the $750 and the drive to get it. I’d spend a week trying to repair the other door, then painting it. The old door is now down in the basement by the 4L80e transmission that my wife griped about. Now our clutter is equal and it feels good.

    After washing: Any special instructions on how to rub out the off-road pin striping in the clear coat?

    Well this is the 4Runner with 363K miles on it. I’ve told my wife she is to use this one for Off-Road and crappy winter weather. The irony here is that her 2023 is an Off-Road Premium with rear locker.

    So I found a same color door through car-parts.com. Negotiated a price ($750) and they shipped it from Arizona to Pocatello, ID for $30. We drove down yesterday and picked it up, then went to dinner at one of our favorite Mexican restaurant and stayed night, returning home today. Door is clean...

    My wife had dented the passenger side second door on the 2014 4Runner while off-roading a couple weeks back. She was in some mud and it slid into a tree. Not terrible damage, but the dent was right where the wheel well flare blends into the door, making it a tough repair.

    Paint came out splotchy, especially on driver’s side. I can sand and add another coat. The OEM robots are hex sided and drop into hex holes. The replacements were round with ribs to grip, but they did not always grip. Ratcheting rivnut tool was a POS. Does not have enough torque to set the...
