I'm local to you, and don't really know the best semi-local wheeling spots. Shoot me a PM if you'd like to hit some trails.

My opinion on the V8 and magnaflow is that the 18" Magnaflow provides drone without the resonator. Maybe I'm getting old, but I didn't like it and immediately had the shop put the stock resonator back on. That took away 90% of it. However, then I had that ugly resonator back there still. I...

Isn't Jacksonville State near Anniston? I'm out of Atlanta, I end up in Birmingham from time-to-time and I seem to recall JSU being somewhere around Oxford/Anniston. Nice 4runner, I've always thought it was a good combination of form vs. function. It's one of my trucksperations with my own...

A key component of getting accurate scanguage results is an accurate vehicle speed. You have to calibrate it to the speed you're actually going, or you'll get results that are skewed. There's a screen in the scangauge that allows you to do this, but it doesn't actually change your speedometer.

Yes they did, and it was a donut-machine in the snow. :fro:

Carolinas - Toyota 4Runner Forum - Largest 4Runner Forum

I don't have anything to add here other than: F$%k the Saints. Your 0-1 tears will flow like a salty water over a levee on Sept 8. I now return you to your regularly scheduled Toyota 4Runner-related internet forum

I went with a set of BFG Rugged Terrains. These replaced the old Rugged Trails (which were kind of crappy). Ultimately they're designed for vehicles who see a lot of road time but still need some offroad grip. They're not as pricey as the BFG KOs and still look pretty good...

I was shocked to learn you could actually finance ANY car for 72 months. That is insanity. Debt is more of a national past time than baseball or apple pie ever was, at this point

This is exactly why more and more stores will refuse to cut any key you don't purchase directly from them, and the ones that do will mostly likely look at you funny and basically tell you that if it doesn't work, it's not on them. I had to go to 4 different places before I'd find anyone to cut...

we should really make a sticky out of one of these LCD screen backlight bulb replacement threads, seems like there's a new one weekly

My last 4Runner had X-REAS (no observed problems with it), my current 4Runner does not. I replaced with 5100s and have not looked back. They ride fantastic, not stiff at all. They do remove the "floating couch" feeling, though. I'd take Bilsteins any day over XREAS. I'd sooner do that any...

Yesterday, I decided to tackle the brake vibration I was having with my front rotors. Seems like the pedal would pulse and the truck would lurch as speed decreased while braking. I assumed worn rotors or pads. Got some new pads from Toyota, pulled the existing pads that looked nearly new...

I must be the only one who actually likes the 2014 refresh. I think it's a big improvement over the 2010 - 2013 models, which I thought were horrendous. I think the front looks better, particularly the headlights. They don't look like they poke out from the body lines as much or look as "bug...

So? Just disconnect it from the shocks and remove the lines entirely, then install whatever shocks you want. 5100's go great with FJ coils. It's not very difficult to remove. I'm local to you, if you want a pair of non-XREAS shocks out of a 2006 with about 54k on them, you can come get them...
