The front axle rebuild is a pain in the ass. Make sure you have a 54mm socket.  Plenty of shop rags too, it’s a mess. Each knuckle needs about a tube and a half of grease so stock up before you start.

Rotors are expensive as shit, and yes you want to do it all at once. You can use oem 100 series Toyota pads with a little tweaking.

I recommend oem Toyota parts for things that matter. Intake tube, throttle cable, oil pump gasket, front main seal, distributor o ring, valve cover gasket and seals. That’ll stop most leaks, then you get to reseal the two oil pans, a royal pain in the ass.

They pretty much never do unless the drains are clogged, which they always are. Cleaning them out with weedeater line is a piece of cake.

I don't believe it does. My 4runner does tho :( down the driver side column. I ran about 6 ft of weedeater line down the drain tube recently, hope that fixed it.

As stated your new life shoukd be at ih8mud they will know everything!  

I have an FJ running like brand new at 120k miles because they told me what to do.  


Have fun!

I'll have to try that, I tried wire and only made it 3 feet or so.
