I went with option 1, as i stated earlier,, and it really worked out well for me. I say sell those front spacers since the 5100s achieve the same lift without so much suspension geometry alteration. (at least that is what the Bilstein website claims) Stock springs at 135k were fine. no creaks...

It is extremely tight behind the dash with all of the aftermarket equipment. It sounds like you're doing it right, with the 4dimples and bolts over the metro trim panel. It took me several attempts to get all the wiring dressed in enough for the metro to fit properly. Use any empty spaces you...

Sounds like you have a good plan. I went with 5100s on each corner. Fronts at 2.5 rears with daystar 1.5 spacer on stock springs. Love it. The ride is firmer, which is what I was looking for. I had to take it to a shop, since the old shock mounting bolts were shearing off. The only...

Is the compressor presure switch engaging? Could be a relay under the hood. I think you can swap the horn relay with AC to check it.

my .02 cents; I put on new front rotors, and calipers and pads to cure a vibration under braking issue. (upgraded to the larger Tundra size, they fit with 17 inch rims) & 3 months later the vibration while braking came back!! I thought I was losing my mind. It was the brand new drivers side...

I lived in the Sonoran Desert a decade ago, and I actually miss the heat. But ultimately it is a trade off, or a balance, between sun 350 days a year, and experiencing the seasons. Growing up in the Midwest, you dont realize how much you rely on the snow in winter, rain is spring, heat in...

I'm in the same boat. Ahoy there. I decided on option 4 and I'm getting ready to do the following this weekend (hopefully, if I find the time) 5100s front and rear Stock springs Daystar 1.5 spacers in the back Bils set at 2.5 in the front 1.25 hub centric wheel adapters 265/70/17 on stock rims...

Excellent write up. Just for posterity sake, anyone who is curious about using fully synthetic ATF made from an ester base, rather than mineral oil base: Redline D4 is designed to replace Toyota Type 4 ATF (T4) Redline D6 for a Toyota that uses WS Fluid (World Standard ATF) Iv'e been running...

Good luck finding the Kicker, it seems to have either been discontinued by Kicker or is just really hard to find now. The Fosgate is easy to procure by comparison. rockfordfosgate P3SD2-8: SPL (sound pressure level) (dB @ 1w/1m): 82 Mounting Depth (in): 2.66 in. (67.5 mm) Cutout Diameter (in)...

If you are talking about a 400 watt RMS 2-ohm dual voice coil subwoofer, in the stock Toyota enclosure, my guess is no. A true 400watt dual voice coil 8 inch subwoofer would have a massive magnet structure. Just my opinion. I'm happy with the kicker I installed, and with the MBquart amp, it...

I had very low to zero bass output. The factory 6x9 speakers in the front doors put out a fair amount of bass on the stock head unit, so I didn't realize for a while that the subwoofer was dead. The magnet and spider assembly in the subwoofer were probably functioning fine, but due to the foam...

Quick update, I added a Subwoofer amplifier, and since one of the original JBL 6x9 front speakers let go, I also upgraded all 4 door speakers to 6-1/2 inch Cerwin-Vega 2-ways. HED-H4652 models. <a target="_blank" href="http://imageshack.com/f/iqSDGOfnj"><img...

Admittedly, I know very little about about the real world differences between brake pad types, but I always buy Ceramic. All pad types have advantages and disadvantages. The stopping power is much more pronounced with ceramic pads in my experience. I am so used to the firm feel in the pedal...

This is how I replaced the stock JBL Sub-woofer speaker and Single Disc RDS JBL Synthesis Radio, while retaining the rest of the JBL sound system. I did not want to add any amplifiers and I did not want to run any additional wires. I plan to add a backup camera later, and possibly aux video...
