OME Lift Kit Installation I bought my OME kit already assembled for the $100 extra, but it came with all new hardware and I did not have to mess with a spring compressor, which is not fun unless you have a good compressor and you know what you are doing. If you don't it is always advisable to...

I just completed the 3" OME Lift Kit this weekend and yes you do have to remove the lower control arm and loosen or remove the swaybar linkage. Here is a youtube video that covers the job the best, but there are a few things not covered that I will mention. Here is the link - Rough Country's...

Nice work on your 4Runner, looking really good. I'm ordering my ShrockWork Bumpers this week, thanks largely to you and a couple of other people chiming in on my Thread over the weekend. Just had the time to look at your build and really would like to see it, I sent PM to you, just let me...

Well it looks like I'm going with Shrockworks - Front and Rear Bumpers and Rock Sliders. They have a great reputation for quality build and I really like their Rear Bumper Options. Then when I looked to see where they are located, to estimate shipping cost, they are in Houston, TX and I am in...

I am done looking at the TAG bumpers... I've heard enough about them to convince me that they are not a brand to go with. Now I am looking at all of the other brands that are known and are recommended. I am glad I address this post, I could not find a link which would have given me the...

Chandlerdoom, I can wait, just wanting to get my rock sliders on and then start driving it at an adventure park here in Texas, so I can get use to my 4Runner as an off-road vehicle. It's pretty well set up for moderate type of terrain and I am going to attend a course which teaches proper...

Millerad - Very good info and thanks for the links that you attached, very, very helpful... I will continue to do my research, thanks to all of the information you and others provided.

OffRoadGuy - That's why I'm reaching out and trying to make sure that I buy quality brand products for my build. Great info and much appreciated!

Ol'Blue - You've got it right, "Just keep it clean and classy no matter what you do" is exactly my mission on this build. I did a seach on Outdoor Logic bumpers and all I could find is the 3rd Gen 4Runner Front Bumper and it looks great, but if I seached their site, something is wrong and won't...

Aaron - CBI Off-Road offers some great products for 4Runners, the only thing I am trying to accomplish is to buy quality parts for the right price. If I can get a Front and Rear bumper from TAG for the same cost of just the front bumper else where, I have to question if the products from TAG...

I just bought a 98 Limited 4Runner with the e-locker option about three weeks ago and I am adding lots of modifications to it and now I'm looking for the right front and rear bumpers to install on it. So far I have installed a K&N CAI, 22" Magnaflow Muffler, New 16" MB Wheels, 285/75R 16 Grabber...

I am a very happy camper today, because I finally found a 4X4 4Runner Limited that has the optional e-locker. After owning 3 4Runners (2X4s) over the past 10 years or so, I decided that I wanting to get a 4X4 so that I could build it up the way I want and make it a top notch Off-Road beast! I...
