Overall I'm happy with them. The ride quality out back is smooth, the springs have good travel and most of all they were cheap ($75 for the pair plus paint I think?). Some things to look out for: -Even with the 7 wraps you're going to get some rake unless you do a big lift out front. I did...

I went with the stiffer old man emu's on a set of tundra bilsteins (2nd perch) and I'm happy with them. The ride out front is a little rough and I'll post if there is sag once I put the plate bumper on there, but overall it saved a lot of money and works well. The LC 7 wraps out back gave me a...

Thanks for the input everyone. After reading up on the deck plate mod I agree that is the way to go. Now I just need to keep cruising craigslist until I find one :fish2:

I've installed a few of these cone filters myself, but after having one on my last tacoma I said never again (well...on a 4x4 anyway). I'm cruising craigslist for one but they seem to get snapped up quick.

Since buying and working on my 4 runner it's become clear that this truck has been pretty neglected over the years. I'm slowly fixing her up but one thing I'm stuck on is the rice rocket intake the last nitwit put on there. It is a simple intake, pipe, cone filter and a heat shield. It's...

Thanks for putting this thread together! It really helped me put my lift in. I wound up doing the tundra billies out front on the second perch with some stiff OME springs, and then tacoma billies in back with the LC 7 wraps. It has about half to three quarter inches of rake but the road...

I've been gun shy about rebates or anything mail away. With everything being easily accessible online these days the only reason it needs to be mailed in is to delay or prevent your refund.

It's about that time. I really want a good on road off road...the general grabber at2 is the front runner at the moment. Anybody in northern california recommend a place?

Nelsonmd hit the nail on the head. I like mine so far though. The power fan shuts off when the transmission hits the desired temperature. Great for wheeling trips where we pull over for lunch/photos. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/145001-trans-cooler-install.html

Still available? Please PM me. In Sacramento but willing to pick up.

I almost had a numb nuts move when I was changing my brake pads. I pulled the cap off the reservoir so I could compress the piston, but forgot to put the cap back on (ie no brakes). Check all of the air tubes going to the brake booster (the round thing on the fire wall driver side), make...

Never trust anyone too far away to get both hands around their throat! Particularly when it comes to your insurance and the possibility of not being able to get you car fixed in a timely fashion. Back when I worked for State Farm all you had to do with modified vehicles is make note of what...

This might be apples and oranges but I bought dashcommand and a cheapo wifi odb to use with my ipad. The ODB should plug into your ODB port and send a wireless signal to the device you have your program loaded to. Sometimes there can be connectivity issues so if you are not seeing real time...

It's hard to say without know what you use it for. Rock crawling? Mud bogging? Mall Crawler? Tow rig? Daily driver? You have a decent lift on there so I wouldn't bother changing it. It looks clean so I wouldn't hack the fenders. I threw a cb and power inverter on mine...both were cheap to...

I'm sure you've already checked out the car, but for the next guy here is my 2 cents. I've insured people that have taken the 3.4 engine past half a million miles, but I've also had a friend who blew a head gasket under 150k miles (not his fault...bad rebuild by previous owner). Check the...
