    Eibach Pro-truck lift

    Bought the first kit back in November. Ordered it through Amazon on Friday, had it at my door Sunday morning. Opened it up and... 3 front springs and 1 rear. Houston we have a problem. Sent it back and got a refund. Got the second kit directly through Eibach on Black Friday, saved a few more...

    OEM brake mileage.

    Replaced all pads at around 70-75k. Fronts we’re starting to squeal and failed safety inspection. Rears had some life left over but figured I might as well get it all done at once. SR5 with 275’s on a stock suspension. 20k a year, most of it highway. I have a lead foot on the accelerator but...

    Do I dare ask . . . Grand Cherokee Trailhawk

    I came to a 4Runner from an 04 Explorer with a V8. Took a little getting used too but not the big deal people make it out to be. I don’t notice any lack of power nowadays and I’m a guy who has a heavy foot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Alternate Rack

    I’ve been real busy lately so I’ve only thing I’ve put up there is a bunch of 2x4s. Wasn’t hard to strap down. There are 6 3/8” threaded holes (2 rows of 3) on the outside edge each crossmember. These holes are where the Rago accessory racks bolt to. The center holes and slots are not...

    Alternate Rack

    They were talking about an aluminum version a few months ago on their Facebook page, not sure if that’s still in the works. The tent and high lift jack should be fine. The front and back crosspieces have extra reinforcement to attach an RTT. Their youtube channel has some videos that explain...

    Alternate Rack

    I’ve had mine for a fee weeks now and I’m digging it so far. I don’t store stuff on my roof that often and even then I don’t need the storage capacity of the larger racks. I also drive anywhere from 20-25k miles a year so a low profile mount that doesn’t affect my mileage is key. No appreciable...

    Would you buy a 5th Gen that was once a Rental Vehicle?

    My 15 SR5 was a company vehicle. 14K miles on it and the only issue I could find was the area around the ignition was gouged from folks trying put the key in an unfamiliar vehicle. I didn’t really want a black truck but it was about $3000 less than similar models with double the mileage. Sent...

    GO Light GXL4211

    Haven’t used that particular product but the remote control models we had in Iraq were rugged and highly popular amongst the troops. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    Took the family up to visit my folks in the mountains. Truck handled the 1/4" of snow like a champ. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    To go Black...or not to go Black

    I had absolutely no intention of buying an attitude black 4Runner but the deal was too good to pass up and money talks so... I'm not a super clean freak about it it's not a big deal for me but I do hit the car wash more than I did with my last truck. Honestly the color has really grown on me so...

    I've had that one for the last 3 weeks and since my plate hasn't fallen off (yet) I can recommend it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Seat Rail Mount Platform // Guaging Interest

    That's a pretty cool solution. I would be in for one if you do another batch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    Today I managed to accidentally roll down the back window in the car wash. My son thought it was awesome. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Any of you nerds play computer games?

    I played the hell out Star Control 2 when it came out in the early 90's. Absolutely agree that it was the best game of all time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
