    HELP! Flange Nut Removal (Strut tower top plate)

    So, I’m installing a lift kit on my 03 SR5...managed to remove tie rods, ball joints and LCA to isolate the strut. As I was removing the three top plate nuts, one of them seemed extremely stubborn. I used the ratchet hammer method, heated it, used wd40, heck I even tried splitting the nut...

    WTB: 4th Gen Rear Lift Springs

    Looking for some 1.5-2" lift springs for a 4th gen 4Runner, used is fine as long as they are in good condition. Preferably OME or Dobinson....but lmk what you have and are willing to sell.

    Advice for installing new struts?

    Screw off my guy, it was his approach to the conversation. Preface something with “not to be a dick” and I’m going to take everything after as a snarky remark. And btw, I have done so...I was merely reaching out to those who have done the installation in order to see if they had any tips/...

    Advice for installing new struts?

    Wow, let me be more clear this time. I tried to take the higher road but you sir, truly are a dick. And thank you for the offer, but I have looked up tutorials and such. My thread is titled with the word “advice”, not “help I’m completely clueless as to how to do this.” I was trying to seek the...

    Advice for installing new struts?

    Just figured I’d get a second opinion from a thread specifically catering to 4th gens. I know you’re not trying to come across as a dick, but maybe refrain from replying next time if you don’t have anything constructive to offer.

    Advice for installing new struts?

    Any advice for installing a new strut setup.....maybe as to what I need to disconnect and/or torque specs of each component? It's a Bilstein 4600 shock w/ OME springs and a 2.5 inch lift spacer.

    What did you do with your 4runner today?

    Goodness either your rear suspension is shot or the photo was taken at a weird angle.... would be surprised if the rear shocks didn't blow on stock bump stops. I don't have DAC on my SR5 but my VSC and ABS will beep loudly if I get into sticky situations or if I loose too much traction.

    Selling an Osprey Kestrel 38 Hiking Backpack that I never got around to using since I moved back down south. It’s a size medium/large; asking full retail price ($160) since it’s essentially brand new. Shipping costs will need to be factored in depending on your location.

    Loose steering while trail riding

    I mean, i'm only running 32s at this point and no beadlocks, so the lowest i ever dare to go on the Falkens is around 24 PSI on the trails. That being said, I DON'T do any rock crawling at this point since I'm only on 4600s and 1.5" of lift; I can't afford a fully fledged build at this point...

    Loose steering while trail riding

    On the road it's fine for the most part...minor bumps and divots sometimes cause the steering wheel to do a little shimmy but its not uncontrollable. Speed tables also cause the steering wheel to turn one way or another. /it just feels way too loose. Off-road its gotten so bad that even gravel...

    Loose steering while trail riding

    So....as of late, my steering has been rather loose when hitting the trails....to the point where hitting a small rock at crawling/ trail riding speed causes the vehicle to jerk one way or another. On the road it is ok for the most part, though divots and imperfections in the road seems to make...

    Body roll and bounciness after installing new rear shocks

    Yeah I probably will....the front sags a little though....rear has about an inch more lift than the front so I’m kinda drawn towards the height adjustable 5100s too.

    Body roll and bounciness after installing new rear shocks

    They ride nicely, it’s just a matter of how much weight the truck is carrying. Softer shocks tend to handle better under a heavier load. I agree though; Tacoma Bilsteins and 4Runner bilsteins are virtually the same other than having to retrofit the former.
