I just installed King coilovers, so my Cornfed 2"F/1.5"R spacers off my Pro will be for sale. I just need to pull off the front top hats to get the front spacers out. I had them on for just under 1.5 years and 11k miles. Picture below is with 285/70/17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. No issues with...

Can anyone with recent experience advise on realistic wait times for a Baja Rack ladder right now? Not a roof rack, just a ladder. It seems their site and a 3rd party retailer say 6-8 weeks for BR products in general. I read someone comment their rack only took a few weeks. I know Gobi...

^ Well done! That looks nice and closer to Cavalry than previous renderings.

I installed my Xenon Depot HID kit on my 2017 a couple weeks ago. I took off the white washer but left on the blue ring that came with the XD kit. It was very difficult to turn the bulb into place. I basically had to push in with all my force and rotate. The passenger side wasn't too bad...

The lower picture was from "The Official Cavalry Blue FJ Photo Thread" on the FJ forums. Voodoo is going to be a few shades brighter than Cavalary: The lighting and photos can really change the way each blue color looks. In terms of darker/grayer to brighter/bluer, it goes Heritage ->...

It seems to be a different color with two different paint codes: Toyota FJ Cruiser Touchup Paint Codes, Image Galleries, Brochure and TV Commercial Archives I believe Heritage Blue was only offered on the 2014 "Trail Teams Ultimate Edition" FJ Cruiser. Pictures of both colors differ a lot...

Please post pics when installed! :thumb:

I called several shops in So Cal to get quotes to install a Cornfed 2/1.5 spacer kit and the cheapest was $445 w/ alignment. Alignment makes up $85-$95 of that total. Three other shops were $450-$475 inc. alignment and one at $660 :der: For that price, I decided I will DIY with a couple...

http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/208900-trd-pro-lift-question-2.html Check out this thread starting on page 2 where this lift is mentioned. A lot of people seemed to order this kit after that. It seems most are happy with it and I haven't really seen any complaints. The Toytec kit...

Yeah original CA black plates were from 1963-1969. They brought them back a couple years ago. As someone who owned & restored a 1968 Chevy Camaro with original CA black plates, I was/am very much against the new age black plates and have internally protested them. Even though they do look...

Last month I e-mailed Hefty to find out the weight of the sliders and if the 8-10 week lead time shown on the site was accurate/up to date. I got a response back in less than a few business hours with an answer and confirmation that lead times are accurate. It's unfortunate that as a...

Most tint shops won't have a problem doing 50% on windshields, at least out here in CA. I had 3M Crystalline 50% on the windshield of my previous vehicle. The rest of my windows were 20% and I never had any cop trouble. Most won't even notice the front windshield. I miss the heat reduction...

FWIW, I was offered (private party) about $5k over MSRP for my almost new Cement TRD Pro with 500 miles. That's the So Cal market for these things, which I think is really dumb and why I went out of state to get it. I paid MSRP for mine, and I've never paid more than invoice for cars in the...

I bought my Pro from a dealer in Iowa and had it shipped to CA using Executive Auto Shippers. Competitive rate, fast shipping/scheduling, and good communication. They have great reviews on Yelp, uShip, Consumer Affairs, and Better Business Bureau. They are a 3PL/broker, so they don't use...

What size spacers? 2"/1.5"? That's what I just ordered. I'm in Orange County. I might have to look into that rack :thumb3: Did you install it? If so, how did it go and how easy was it? All bolt in?
