Thanks for sharing, as that's basically exactly what I'm going for, minus the pizza cutters ;) That paint color has always been my favorite 4runner color, I'm pretty jealous, I've got the gold with practically no clear coat left

Just purchased all of the above, sans the UCA as I ordered the JBAs. Thanks so much for the help! I've read that given my mileage I should replace the front lower ball joints, and front sway bar bushings while I'm in there. Is there anything else you'd recommend replacing?

Hi Mike! Got an '05 SR5 V8 4x4 with 220K miles on it, and want to finally lift it. I love the look of all the daystar 2.5/1.5 I've seen, but don't want to do spacers. I was going to do the 5100s and OME 884/895 but the more posts I read the more unsure I became because of so much conflicting...

Replying in case this is ever found by someone in same situation. Cliffs: You don't need to worry about the extra antenna jack, and you don't need to use all the factory plugs. Ok, figured out what the 2 headphone style jacks are, they are both antenna as the 4runner has dual antenna, so you...

I've found a ton of help and walkthroughs for a head unit upgrade but they are all for the non JBL version. I have the 10 speaker JBL synthesis and I purchased a pioneer AVH-W4400NEX head unit to upgrade the toyota 16847 JBL unit that came stock on my 05 4runner. After lots of googling I found...

My shocks need to be replaced so after reading a bunch I figured id go with the bilstein 5100s and the MOOG FJ springs. What should I expect to pay ballpark for a shop to purchase and do the install? I know the prices of the components, but I have no idea what kind of labor is involved, and...

wow, this thread is amazing, I learned a ton of good stuff. When I checked the secret compartment in the glove box, there were two really nice 2 way radios in there that the previous owner must have forgotten. Score!

thanks for moving the thread! yeah, ive done some searches, and am now well aware of the caliper problem, which is why im pretty sure they are gunna need to be replaced. Ive just been trying to find out if the dealership actually has to take them off and put the new ones on, in order for it...

Im going to change my front rotors and pads, but ive got a feeling my calipers are prolly have a piston thats going to be seized. Im getting awful shudder under breaking like my rotors are warped, but ive also read that this will happen with a seized caliper (or because the seized caliper warped...

Hey guys, Ive done a bunch of reading but had a few questions I wanted to ask. Like the title says I have a 2005 4.7L V8 4WD and im about to hit 80K miles. I bought the vehicle at 45K and have stayed up on the motor oil, tire rotation, air filter, but havent done any other maintenance, so this...
