much like everyone else my 4runner is 13 years old and having the same issues. I've given it the r134 several times only to have it blowing quite less cold, but good enough a couple months later. I basically have done this before the summer for the last 4 years but have read that this could...

Unfortunately your car is going to be worth more to you or the "right buyer" than the average buyer can appreciate. I would throw it on Craigslist for 10,000 and see what happens. What do you have to lose? The fact that it is pre 2006, no leather, 200K + miles, the color, are not working to your...

that thing is bad ass man. Some fiberwex fenders would do a lot for it IMO. But it seems like you already know that. Why did you decide on 35's vs. 37's? Seems as if you have plenty or room. Seems as though you have more lift than everybody else by a considerable margin. Not worried about the...

There is no downside. A hub-centric spacer from All-Pro or Spidertrax is just as good as a wheel offset to your liking. As has been stated, just make sure to torque the lugs to 80lbs, get extended lugs for the front, and use loc-tite. You do those three things you've got nothing to worry about...

Those calipers look good what kit did you use?

Uh yeah man not sure what to tell you but I got my seats done in factory grade leather for 700 from the shop that does all the Toyotas in my area. That was a few years ago but still... And again, unless that leather really settles and tightens up, that's very discernible from factory. If it's...

2 grand is pretty steep regardless man. I'm not going to pile on, but you can get factory grade leather installed for 700-800 otd pretty much anywhere in the country. Seat heaters are 150 bucks for top of the line, and if you can install a radio you can wire heaters. Sorry man, if i was you I'd...

obviously the second car has slightly less rust but neither car is even close to being of concern. My car has spent its entirety in a state where the roads are never salted, although we do have the salt water in the air since it's near the ocean and my car didn't look that much better despite...

Can anyone say for sure that if you buy the trim piece it would be flat with the seats down? Can't stand that POS and would gladly shell out 120 to get rid of it... TIA been trying to find this out for a while.

Yeah thats what I'm looking for. Would go for 35's but only have the V6 and don't feel like tearing up the tranny that much. Pretty much solely for aesthetics and don't plan to ever have it at full flex. Figured 34's are a happy medium.

No problem with doing any of that and thanks for the reply. Just wondering how I could have UCA clearance issues with a 285/75 tire vs a 285/70 when both tires are the same width. I do have 1.5 inch wheel spacers on as well... FWIW I have 5100's with 884's up front (got well over 3") and 5100's...

Just wondering if these tires will fit on stock SR5 rims. Unlike most, I really like the stock rims and on the website it says they will fit on 7.5-9.5 in rims. The SR5 rims are 7.5 in albeit on the small side, what if any issues would arise from running these tires on stock rims? TIA Toyo...

Bilstein 5100's with OME 884's front Superflex 2.0's in the back. And yes, I sprayed the top/bottom of the shocks/springs down pretty good.

Ever since I lifted my 4runner around 3-4 years ago it started squeaking. Not bad but annoying nonetheless. I like to drive around with the music off, and lately the squeaking has gotten pretty unbearable. When I stand on the front bumper and bounce up and down I can hear a slight squeak. I...

Can't say thanks enough!!! Went back and looked at the leds and felt like a moron. Had several facing backwards. Re-soldered them and looks great. Only took me two years riding around with a broken odometer to get around to fixing it.... but have to say it was worth the wait!
