Thanks for the help but the deal fell through! Long story short I was buying them from a coworker (for only $450!) and was aiming to pick them up today, but a mutual friend of ours offered to trade an entire body lift kit for the set. Which is fine, I'm obviously not ready for new wheels right now anyways
Thank you anyways, friend

spacers or no spacers??
So I've been looking into getting some steelies recently, and decided on 16x8 with 4.0BS since I saw lots of good things said about this set up, and think it looks badass to boot. I plan to throw some 285/75s on them, and will be done with a 3in lift
However, I see lots of people on here say they run various wheels with these specs without problems, but damn near everytime I find a set I like the reviews on the webstore mention someone with a 3rd gen T4R needing 0.25-0.5in spacers to clear. Is this something dependent on the wheel? Maybe pertains to 13WL/13WG calipers? I do plan on doing the TBU in the next few months, fwiw
Just confirming what I need to buy

285s would be cutting it close with a 3inch lift but all you need is a 'BFh and thatll fix that..
i believe the difference in calipers are between 15inch factory brake setups
& 16 inch factory setups
Also the upper balljoint/UCA may hit the inside sidewall probly should order a .25 " spacer

Gotcha, thanks for the reply. I'm not concerned about running the spacers per se, I just don't want to install everything, find out I need them and not have them. I guess it would be dependent on the tire too, and should've been said that I plan to buy some BFG A/T K02
Still open for other's experiences

The rear swaybar links from a 2nd gen will work up front (with a lift), correct? Anybody have the part number? Struggling to find it for some reason.
Gonna need to extend mine.

Thank you, that'll do. Certainly wasn't about to pay the $220 for a new set, or whatever it is.

Yo sorry for the late reply you could also run front sway bar links for a 3rd gen in the rear. That’s what my setup is and works great I have about a 5inch lift in the rear
you ever get the tires?
How’d everything fit?

A word of Caution on Extended Swaybar Links. I had a 1.5 inch rear lift and put the 1.5 inch longer rear sway links. The links contact the LCA if they are too long. A good rule of thumb is to go up a 1/2 in length for every 1" of lift. I'm running stock sway links on the rear of my 3rd Gen now with my 1.5 lift and its just fine.
With the 7 wraps I had before, the extended links were still a bit long, and did contact the LCA at full compression.

Well that sound like you extended the sway bar links too much with not enough lift, I’m sure that’d be a problem what links did you use?

Haven't put on anything yet, waiting to get my parts for a lift in, but first waiting on Sonoran Steel to email me back before I commit

Hey guys... Tired of driving blind in our 2000 4runner. Finally got a little money to upgrade the lighting.
Are any members selling headlight upgrade kits for our 3rd gens? Mainly just looking for an easy plug and go wiring / relay upgrade for some better bulbs.
Any suggestions on headlight housings? Wouldnt mind some with a good cutoff. I didnt see any real nice ones. HID would be fine if its legit and OEM style so it doesnt blind everyone else.
Thanks

Checking Transmission Fluid Level...
I did the TTTM special a few weeks ago. Drained 4.5 qts. from the pan and added about the same. It seemed to be shifting differently so I checked the fluid when hot and cold and it was way over filled. I suspect it was that way before I did a thing and shame on me for not checking the fluid level first.
I pumped out almost 2 qts. using the fill tube and it seems to be shifting normally. The fluid level is now just slightly above the top cold full mark when cold.
Getting an accurate dipstick reading when at operating temp (and engine idling) seems to be a challenge for me and a real PITA.
Anyhoo, here's my question: Can I use the cold fill mark to indicate the correct transmission fluid level?
Thanks,
Eddie
