UPDATE: Got the front doors done today, wow, what a difference already. Can't wait till I do the dash speakers tomorrow. The OEM door speakers have no magnet, just paper, at first I thought I broke it off in 2 but no, that's all there is to it. The metro adapters and wire harness adapters from CF made it a breeze. No issues till the door panel re-install, that was tough on the 1st door as I figured out the top window sill felt piece. What a bytch that was. Don't be a fool like me and struggle to try and get it in there all as 1 piece, but... I remembered reading a post a while back that the felt trim piece comes off with 3 clips. Yup, just pop it off, attach it to window/ door frame top edge and then pop the door panel on. 2nd door was less than 15 minutes.

Update, @97black Rago refined me $20 w/o me requesting it. Customer service in my case was top notch. FYI.

New boot goofin.







Bye bye wheel spacers.

Got a smoking deal on a used Wilco Solo High Clearance. Seriously couldn’t pass it up. I have pushed in to the second hole. I cranked on the anti wobble bolt and also added a threaded/ locking hitch pin to further stop any wobble. I will be adding a rotopax fuel tank and hilift to it as well. Went out to Blair Valley and Vallecito wash in the Anza Borrego desert to give a wobble test. Not a sound or movement to be seen or heard.

Cleaned every inch of it using my newly bought Ryobi 1700 PSI Pressure Washer since I got some free time.

Looks perfect the way the tires are just to the outside of the wheel well. What are the specs on that wheel/tire setup?

Thanks, just saw this. Yes, the Sprint Booster is best selling part I have for 5th gens. Totally removes the throttle dlag and delay. I sell more Sprint Boosters than lift kits and Gibson exhausts combined! The damn little thing really works on these trucks.

Sprint Booster SALE for 5th gen 4Runner, Limited time... - if you buy this and aren't impressed, I will let you return it no questions asked, and I'll even pay the return shipping!

OEM speakers have neodymium magnets. Much stronger than ferrite magnets that's why they are so small. Magnet size means nothing these days, not like it did 20 years ago. Just a side note for you, the plugs you got do not work in the dash. You will have to reuse the OEM plugs and solder the wiring together. That is unless Metra came out with a dash plug since the last time I checked. Completely different plug than what's used in the doors.

Thx for the info, I'm stealing your install tips from another thread. Been practicing up on my soldering skills. Same metra harness but I can use it for the wires and other end fittings and cut off the oem white connector and then solder the blocker on the pos side and then to the oem blue connector. Hoping to follow your example. Its been about 20yrs since I touched audio. Sounds easy in my mind..Maybe tomorrow, will see.

I have most of my parts together so today I was test fitting some things. This tire and wheel combo going to be sweet on this build.

Also got my rear links back from powder coat. Had them do it in clear so I can have the colors from the welds stay.



I’ll be installing the custom valves extended Kings soon as well as some billet upper a arms. I’m going to to need to cycle the rear end with the new links to figure out the track bar setup.

I’ll start a build thread for this soon.
