FS: 3rd Gen Lift Coils - $150 (Denver, CO) - 3" Toytec & LX450 8.5 Wraps (Y/B) Hi everyone, Just swapped my suspension out for a lower 1.5" lift setup, but I am selling the F/R coils that I was running. Both sets of coils were on my rig for roughly 35k miles, but this could be a good...

Never even heard of that brand! Unless its branded Toyota with the OG part number, it probably isn't an OEM part. I got the Fel-Pro gaskets off RockAuto for 25$ and they are still good after 15k

This is correct, I am running them and gained slightly over 4" with no extra weight in the rear

Mine does that too, and it would scare the hell out of me before I started pulling the horn fuse before I reconnected the battery. Haven't found a way to completely disable it yet though...

Not a bad idea at all, throwing out some searches it looks like I could get a used one for around 20-30$. I assume 96-02 4runners share the same UCA design

Yeah I've tried shooting them with grease and that doesn't seem to ever work for very long at all because it does it get washed out. I guess I should also mention that when I take the wheel off either side I can physically move the UCA about 1/4th of an inch just by shaking it up and down. If...

Hey guys, quick question for you all.... So my current stock UCA bushings are shot to hell and make a terrible creaking noise going over bumps, it only goes away when I've been driving around for 20ish minutes to get everything moving/warm again. I had been planning on swapping the bushings...

Was just wondering, is anybody using these...??

Yes I have and I agree with you, but I was just saying back in my first post that 35s definitely take some modding to work right. If you're down to spend the time and money to make them fit and make sure everything is structurally sound, then they are awesome, but I was just trying to give him a...

You're right, but in high alpine Colorado stuff gets washed out really easily leaving big dips and ravines in the road most of the time exposing boulders or just a big crevasse in the middle of the road. I need every inch of articulation I can get because of all these massive dips in the road...

CVs shouldn't cause this, I drove around with front axles pretty much missing the upper boot because they ripped off for the past year and I had no symptoms like you. However, your rear brakes could be wearing unevenly causing a shake when breaking (bad pistons). You could also try rebedding in...

I live in Crested Butte which sits up at 9000 feet, 4.10 gearing on 265s with NO extra weight does start to feel kinda sluggish at times... However, paired with my 3.5" lift, my 4runner continues to impress me at what it is able to do on the trail. I have never scraped anything before besides...

You can fit a 1/2 drive ratchet up there with some finesse and the right extentions/swivels. If you still have the stock shocks you can drill a small hole through the shock body (not the shaft, just the tubing that shields it) and then stick a screwdriver through it and use that to make the...

A little tough to say... New gears will definitely help with towing the trailer, but driving without it will cause you to be driving at highway speeds at a much higher RPM than normal, especially in a flater area such as Austin. Is it a 2wd or 4wd? Do you ever plan on getting bigger tires or...

Macpherson strut compressor. Made easy work of my 675s and they aren't sketchy either, cost about 100 bucks.
