After this I may go for stiffer springs once the tepui and everything is packed up. Anyway, off to google to check out height adjustable suspension. 🧐

The TD Pro front shock is a fixed height shock. You'll gain about 1.5-2" but cannot adjust it if that's not what you want. The 6112's have six clip positions you can use (and three spring weights) to adjust your height gain from 0" to about 3 1/2". You can also set each side to a slightly different height to account for the driver's side lean that most 4Runners have. For example, mine are set on the 6th position on the driver's side and the 4th position on the passenger side so my 4Runner sits level.

PUPPEHS!!!!!!

Here are our two. The female (left) is 4 1/2 and the male is 7 months. He'll probably be around 110# when fully grown. We just got the male a few weeks ago so they're still adjusting to each other.

Ohh that makes sense. I’m hoping to get away w this setup for a while.
Ridgebacks are the best! Funniest personalities. We just got our second and it mellowed them both out. They are both from the same litter but Echo’s owners just had a baby and wanted a more active home for her. They are 2.5.

What do you guys recommend for tire pressure? Stock 31" tires?

Assuming not running extra weight just 32 PSI.

Usually 30-35 psi depending on the tire, but some run as high as 40-45, ride quality suffers typically tho since 4R's aren't really heavy enough (short of towing) to justify that pressure

Ah okay, thank you! I am running 32 at the moment; just read something on the forums with guys in the high PSI, they are probably running bigger tires and heavier load though.

Hey Guys!

So after much reading, it sounded like I shouldn't have a problem fitting 17x8 wheels with an -12mm offset. I figured I'd need to trim, but to my surprise they wouldn't clear the brakes.. Is it better to go with 17x8 and zero offset?

If it matters I'm fitting 285/70/17s with a 3" lift, and aftermarket UCAs.

Hey, back again after I installed the TRD PRO suspension. I was just curious if the reverse tire rub is normal. Before the lift on my UrbanRunner I had maybe 1.5 inches from the top of my tire to the bottoms of the fender, now I have close to 5.5 inches between the two. In reverse, after the new suspension is in, I have much worse tire rub only in reverse. Is this normal? I thought since there is more room now it wouldn’t be a problem.

you guys think there would be any interest in a set of oem headlights? My brother can professionally re-finish and clear the lenses but I dont want to make him waste his time. the driver side gave off a weird pattern (a lot of the light was focused in an upside down bowl shape) and I didn't feel like taking them apart and all that so I just bought some aftermarkets.

yeah man, people buy OEM headlights all the time. I have a set in my closet waiting to be retrofitted!

I do have a question though, where do I purchase cv grease for our vehicles? Can I just go to Toyota Parts?

You could get anything from oem Toyota 4Runner And FJ Cruiser Front Inner CV Boot Kit 04437-60042 | eBay (Or from your local Toyota dealership)

Or, some people have had good luck with this Synthetic stuff:

Thank you for the response! Can you purchase grease only from Toyota parts?

I have seen a few 4th gens with what looks to be a stock bull bar/bullnose that apparently only come on the bumper of some of the sports. Mine does not have one. It fits right around the sides of the bottom bumper grill and the top part goes across the bumper below the bottom portion of the big grill up top. What is this and where (if anywhere) can I find one of these?

It's more or less a fake Bullbar, no real strength to it and little to no protection for the grille or radiator.

The only place I would think you could get one is from a savage yard, Toyota doesn't even list them on any of their parts list that I have ever seen.

Yep its just molded plastic, no protection whatsoever.

Sooo, I hope I'm not crashing a party here. I'm too new to make a new thread and this should be a fairly quick and easy question. We just got our 2005 4runner limited and it's having problems with the front turn signals. I replaced the bulbs and nothing, the fuses look fine. So next on my list is the relay. Problem is there's I can't figure out where it is or which one it is. I've taken off the panel in the driver side footwell and I just can't figure it out. So can anyone take a picture of theirs and point out exactly which one I need to replace before I give up and take it to a shop?
