EDIT : The original springs that I would lose under flex were my stock 4 Runner springs. The FJ's are all longer... I used a '13 FJ spring
I switched up to the longer spring FJ spring as the original springs would come out of the perch when in flex...
V6 - FJ rear springs with airbags, Bilstein 5100's on all 4... Crucial component is the airbags w/ stiffer springs. Also 100% without a doubt purchase and install an EBC.
I have been saved from accident almost every time I've been out because of the EBC. I recommend one that you can manually...
I run 265/70/17's on 5100's and FJ rear springs. You will need to trim your inner fenders or heat and roll, you may have a little rub in steer. Especially in a moving with flex kind of situation.
The second pic is 285-70-17 w/ an 8.5" rim with a -10 offset. Needs more lift and work to tuck...
One of the first mods I did when I bought my T4R. I threw a 6" LED on by tapping the frame with 5mm bolts. The placement works great for throwing light on my camper while we are setting up at night. Not a great placement for trail or crawling. I will be moving it upwards this summer, probably...

Have any pics?
I have gone through 2 sets of stock Toyota calipers ( frozen ) in 5 years with my '04. Toyota blames the fact that I tow with it regularly, even though when I tow I use and electronic brake to stop the trailer.
I think this is going to be an upgrade I take care of this summer. Interested in...
I have the same issue in IL. Ironically mine started to happen in the warm weather.
The screen gets "stuck" or blips out completely into hieroglyphics.
Going to solve the issue with a new double din touch screen from Pioneer...
Nice looking build! I built a very similar setup in my 4th gen. I wish I would have placed a sliding drawer on the left like yours. I have a slide on right with a hinged drawer on left.
Access is an issue when you have the back of the T4R full of camping gear! Good thing my build was only a...
