Please tell me I didnÂ’t screw something up! Was doing rear brakes today (not my first rodeo), and I noticed after using a c-clamp to retract the piston that it looks like some brake fluid is leaking out. Did I maybe just retract it too fast and force some fluid past the seals or is this DOA...

Hey I can finally post here! After 2-3 years of kicking the can down the street I finally bought myself some Bilstien 5100s for Christmas. Originally planned to just level it out with the fronts at the 0.85" setting. But once I started taking everything apart I decided to say screw it and go...

Replaced the rear shocks with 5100s this weekend and added a 1.5" Cornfed spacer on the springs. (did front 5100s last week at 1.75") Getting everything back together with the new spacers, using only floor jacks and stands, was a little tricky. I noticed, once everything was buttoned back up...

Do you have pics of the chips? Im interested but Im on the beach a lot and concerned about rusting

Update: Finally got back in town and had some time to look at it. I took the tire off and inspected everything, and honestly, nothing looked out of place/bent to me. Threw the tire back on and took it to Pep Boys for an alignment. I didnt tell them why it was out of alignment, I wanted to...

Thanks for all the replies. Unfortunately it happened the day before I had an early flight out of town so I didnt get to look at it to closely myself. When they told me $1400 I had my wife go get it and bring it home. When I get back in town Im going to block up the front end and get both...

This has to be the lamest "off-road" accident ever but here goes.... Was driving down my street yesterday and a car was stopped waiting turn left. I thought I had room to go around on the right hand side, and when I started to pull around, my front passenger tire went strait into the ditch...

Sorry for the delay, crazy couple days at work. Got them installed. Love the looks. Here are some before and after photos. Ive only driven to/from work so far (5 miles city driving each way), but here are my observations so far. Pros: Looks. They look like they were made for the 4Runner...

Todays the day Got my tires delivered from DTD last night and have my appointment to get them installed after work today. Will post some before/after pictures tomorrow. Cant wait.

Just a heads up, I had tried to buy a set of the 275 KO2s as part of the Discount Tire Direct Ebay sale but they were out of 275/70/17s. I just decided to check back and they must have gotten more inventory because I was able to buy two sets of 2 tires. $440 for two tires plus $36 tax, minus...

That’s actually a pretty good idea. Definitely worth the phone call. The 285s are just more than a realistically need. And the 275s will allegedly fit pretty well until I get some bilstiens. Thanks for the idea

Annnnnd theyre out of 275/70/17s. Had them in my cart last night and cancelled the order because I wanted to order them this morning at work. You snooze you lose. Guess Im waiting for the next sale.

Pretty stock minus some plasi-dip and LED fogs. Waiting for the stock tires to get nearer to replacement to splurge on ATs and a small lift/level. Im happy with her for now.

I think I'm leaning back towards the billys on all fours. They are tried and true and offer a bit more flexibility up front. Im sure these are probably a better product, but for my needs its just an extra $100+ of overkill. If yall get these put on let us know how they look.

I had been convincing myself for months that I needed a lift and was getting ready to order a full set of 5100s any day now with plans on doing 1.75” setting up front with a 1” rear spacer. My only concern is that that setting may be a tad higher than I want. It sounds like this TRD PRO set up...
