95 4Runner Crawler update, plus I bought a 2020 Tundra and why it needs a transmission cooler

[@mikejohle3717]

I had the same problem with my driveline as well, there’s 3 or 4 ways to handle the issue, but the best one is to strip the housing and cut the pivot balls off and rotated them about 8 degrees, then your pinion will point up. You just have to make sure your caster angle is correct when you weld the leaf spring pads back on or it will have death wobble

I dig the leaf spring dedication! I almost always try to run them on my fronts... easy and works just enough for what i need!

[@aprecision4013]

3 or 4 link kits are SO expensive, just not worth it for me right now.

@@aprecision4013 unless you need them! save that $$$$$

How are you liking the ride with leaf springs all around? the 4 runner is looking very good!

[@aprecision4013]

It handles like a beach ball since I don't have sway bars on it. The front springs are very soft for rock crawling. The rears are just stock chevy half ton springs. I did it for the articulation not the ride quality though. The stock suspension on these things do not have very much travel at all.

APrecision how much wheel travel are you getting front and rear?

[@aprecision4013]

@@gamer78full I have 3" of up travel and 7" of down in the front. I have 5" up travel and 6" down travel in the back

APrecision nice. I’m planning to build a sas rig and I’m just gathering as much info as I can. You’re running stock birfields with 35s and locker?

[@aprecision4013]

@@gamer78full I'm Running RCV axles and birfields in the front. Stock rears and 35" tires

FYI: Toyota removed the transmission cooler on Tundras starting with 2019 model year. Your Transmission will fry towing

[@aprecision4013]

yep, my next video there is the cooler install. Installed in June at 4k mi (before ever towing). Staying 175F ever since.
