I have finally sold my white pearl 2011 Sr5 and have some parts to get out of my garage. I had replaced the headlights and tail lights so I have the good condition OEM ones up for sale along with the washer fluid tank, front bumper assembly, and OE rims... Bumpers, skirts and rims all have...

+1 for RagoFabrication I have the 2002-2017 gen 4runner curved 52 inch low profile brackets and they had some of the best communication and customer service interaction I have ever seen, despite a small delay related to powder coating.

Hey rainmn This may be unrelated due to the specifics of your issue.. I had a similar pop coming from the driver seat on my 2011. It was driving me crazy. I found a post one time that said someone was having a similar issue when the seat was moved all the way back, and suggested moving the...

Another +1 for gshadow325 The Compustar T11 pro is just the radio and keyfob kit for the Compustar core kit. The company doesn't sell their equipment to consumers so you actually have to have the radio/fob kit, the core system which comes in different flavors depending on whether you want just...

Yukon4Runner I used to do mechanic work and once had to pressure wash cat out of a lady's engine compartment because it had gotten in the radiator cowling for warmth and was mangled when the engine was started. Just one way to skin a cat, lol.

I know, I know, you like your Empirical data 1engineer I did not have the time, ambition or need to design implement and run the tests you want to see to be able to define a quantitative difference, but I can assure you my feelings are valid lol. I can tell you that in real world experience I...

When it comes to Oil Filters I definitely agree, the aftermarket one I pulled out of my rig when I bought it was not to the same precise specs and had smushed when it was installed. The Toyota one fit perfect. But on the brakes, I have to disagree here. I know using higher performance rotors...

2011 Blizzard Pearl (White) http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/225895-ariakas-2011ish-build-thread.html Please rename "Ariakas' project"

Lifted finally!! Ok, I carried the suspension components around for almost 5 months until my buddy was ready to help me install everything. The nice part is he has access to a 2 post lift and hardly charged me anything to do it. Here is the kit as installed: Bilstein 5100's on second notch...

Fellow Austinite!! Sorry to hear about Heidi! Very glad you are OK.

Awww man, just days off on this. I just replaced the tired OEM Panasonic 24F with a new X2 Power (Northstar for Batteries +) 27F. I did need one quickly as the other one was getting very tired, and they had it locally. I still would have rather participated in the GB.

I wish I could join... I'm way over extended on parts for mods right now. Have my lift parts in and I'm waiting for my buddy to help me put it on. Will still need it aligned after.. I even have naked sliders sitting in the garage that I need to find the money to powder coat. Also still...

This sound and the squishy feel bothered me for the first few months. I don't even notice it now. I am still not all that fond of the way it reacts to what it considered a panic stop. But at least I am used to it now and know what to expect. Still the best vehicle I have ever owned out of...

Curved 52" LED bar Was able to get the new light bar mounted this weekend. Used the Rago brackets. I think they are a bit too pricey for what they are, but I sure can't fault their customer service. Mama Rago emailed me status updates several times during the process, they put some candy in...

My first car was a 1968 Ford Thunderbird Landau. It had suicide rear doors, a Thunderjet 429 big block, and sequential rear turn signals. It had 75000 miles on it. It was definitely a land yacht. It was my neighbors grandmothers car. I bought it for $400 and when I got severely rear ended in it...
