Thanks for the feedback! It sounds like it would be a good idea to do this sooner than later, with just one more alignment after the UCAs have been installed and the truck has settled a little bit.

I spent the better part of last weekend installing 5100s, OME 884s in front, and Toytec Superflex coils in the rear. When all was said and done, the lift was about 3.5" in front and 3" in back. I'm happy with the outcome, but that's a lot more lift than I was expecting. Based on what I've...

I'm in the same boat as you - I have a V6 and I'm hemming and hawing about what to do when the time comes for new tires. So take this with a grain of salt... I've seen exactly the opposite. My impression has been that folks love the 5100/OME combo, and that's actually what I'm leaning toward...

^No, mine didn't. Like several folks in this thread, I screwed around with this process for entirely too long before I finally got it to work. I think my issue was that in the "rolling code" instructions in the 4Runner manual, it says to press the Homelink button twice, and possibly a third...

Thanks for the reply! The spare needed air anyway, so I'm glad I pulled it out and checked on it. I guess I'll go ahead and just rotate the 4.

Piggybacking onto this thread and hoping for a quick reply... I got my 4Runner late last year and I'm getting around to rotating the tires for the first time. People seem divided on whether or not to rotate in the spare, but I'm one of those that thinks it makes sense to do it. So imagine my...

I used the Sylvania kit. http://smile.amazon.com/Sylvania-HRK-BX-SYLVANIA-Headlight-Reoration/dp/B00429NKWK

Not today, but over the weekend... I'd been second guessing for a while about whether or not I really needed to use one of those headlight restoration kits. I picked the Sylvania kit and wow - what a difference! Before: After:

^ I'm looking at that exact same suspension setup (5100s/OME/Toytec), and I'm going back and forth on whether to spend some extra money on UCAs. Did you have any trouble with alignment?

I'm in Cumming and I've been meaning to make a trip up to Tray Mountain Road near Helen. It's supposed to be a good spot for beginners, which suits me. The most off-roading I've done is the gravel road through my in-laws' neighborhood. That said, the comments here (Tray Mountain (Georgia) |...

Looks great!

Changed the oil and since it was unseasonably warm (even by Georgia standards), I went ahead and washed the truck too.

Well, crap. I'm not buying anything anytime soon, but it sure would have been nice to find out that it's easily found/purchased.

What kind of roof rack is that? It looks like it replaced the stock rails? I like the idea of something more low profile like you appear to have.
