I've got an 04 V8, and looking at getting an 07 FJ set for sale near by. But as Im reading through this thread Im seeing that everyone is adding spacers up front, some as much as 2.5". So will the FJ suspension actually give any lift up front without a spacer, on the heavier V8? It seems like...

Agreed. 4th gens can look really nice if they’re set up right. And that 4.7 is just amazing. The first time I drove my brothers 03 after he bought it with 161k miles I was speechless at how smooth that engine is. AND it can be supercharged! I was never really a fan of red until I started...

I’ve purchased two vehicles from copart, and my bro got his 4runner there as well. so I can offer some insight. We had a big hail storm along the front range this past summer, so there were literally thousands of vehicles for sale at the three copart locations in Denver. They were selling them...

Hey guys, I'm selling some left over parts since I sold my 3rd gen back in August, unfortunately. All parts can be shipped from Cheyenne, WY 82009. SR5 textured black fender flares. I painted them with primer and semi gloss black rustoleum. But my wide offset wheels chipped the paint up pretty...

Get a 2012-2015 model. They look way better than the new ones. And the 4.0 is a good engine. Plus you’ll save money

Yeah, I didn’t enjoy driving mine up the small local mountains here (6000 base to 8500 feet). O/D off the whole way, stuck around 3300 rpms at 65mph. Plus the wind

I drove my truck with 32” tires for 5 years before I sold it. Gearing was stock 4:10s. I really didn’t feel any difference in going up one tire size. It felt the same in city driving. I live at 6000 feet above see level and it struggled on the highway with stock tires, and struggled the same...

Will you be using your truck on trails that actually require a lift? I’m surprised no one has asked that yet. And how long do you plan on keeping the truck?

That is a valid point. Have look at all the variables. But chances are most of those stock failures you see around the web are again on lbjs with REALLY high mileage. My point is still that failures are non existent on stock trucks until they get up to really high mileage, where they should...

Theres a lot of info on lower ball joints on the forum. Most of the failures happen at lower speeds, just like this one. But most are on lifted trucks, unlike this one. I thought the factory recommendation was around 75k miles, but someone can clarify that. You will see different opinions as...

Huh. I have a 2003 Honda CR-V and it’s labeled with Honda’s “real time 4x4”, not all wheel drive

Op, my brother has that exact truck, an 03 with the 4.7. And I owned my 3rd gen for 8 years before selling it with the same mileage as yours. I regret selling it, but it was the right decision at the time. Like others I say keep yours and get the 4th gen, or just drive yours and save for a 4th...

I have the same opinion as Tyler James. I went through two Napa sets in less than 2 years. I did nothing but on road driving and some forestry trails. Nothing even close to hard core off roading. And my front end was only lifted 2” at the most. Changing cvs is a pain and gets old really fast...

I see that as a really nice 3rd gen (which are becoming ever more rare) completely ruined. I hope it can be undone, but with that amount of fabrication probably not

You’re saying that you get less dirt on the filter with the hole in the air box?
