    Metaltech LT medium or heavy springs

    Hey Slixx! Just put em on and sent it! I pulled the fender liners out and trimmed a good amount of material off the metal and plastic fenders. Hammered the pinch welds a good amount and obviously a BMC. For the rear I have the Metaltech bump stop extension which limits the up-travel. Also I cut...

    Metaltech LT medium or heavy springs

    Hey dude! Sorry, I'm not on here as often as I used to be. Thanks! I dig the amount of flex I have too haha. I am running no body lift and 35s, you are correct. It works surprisingly well. I did grab the extended SS lines from metaltech when I went to taller coils. I also put on the EIMKeith...

    Metaltech LT medium or heavy springs

    At the time, yes, I was maxing out the rear shocks still. I ended up having one blow and replaced them with LT basic Dobinsons shocks which have been doing great. From my understanding, yes, you will still max them out with the Icon springs, are they progressive rate? The down travel of the...

    Metaltech LT medium or heavy springs

    Probably not the exact answer you are looking for, but here is my setup. I have 6112s up front w/ 700lb springs, on the 5th clip with a quarter inch toytec spacer on the tophat. I had toytec superflex 2.0 springs that I swapped out a month ago for the Metal Tech Heavy long travel springs. I...

    Fumoto Drain Valve

    I have one on mine, but I also have RCI skids so I'm not too worried about it snagging anything.

    Transmission Fluid Flush or Drain/Fill?

    The drain plug crush washer has to be replaced. Too cheap to not do, and you’ll see why you should when you remove it. If the older trans pan is similar to the newer one, be very careful putting the plug back in. I accidentally torqued mine to 20 ft/lbs instead of 15 and stripped the threads on...

    Transmission Fluid Flush or Drain/Fill?

    I'm a fan of the drain and fill...seems like the "safest" and easiest option, especially given that you have a dipstick. Drain out and measure fluid, add the same amount back in, drive and double check. Done. Repeat a couple hundred miles later, and don't sweat it.

    Gibson catback exhaust for 4th gen! Labor day special starting now! Video attached

    I mean they’re currently in stock on Amazon, so you’d get it pretty quick purchasing off there.

    Lessons Learned Wheeling on Elephant Hill

    Thanks for the recommendations! Funny enough, I was just watching the trail recon video and a few others 2 days ago about that part of Moab. It’s high on the list, looks awesome! What brand did you end up going with for skids?

    Bins that fit under double decker shelf

    Well for the life of me I can't find the reddit post some guy made back in January of last year... but I do have my Amazon purchase history. I purchased 2 of these and they slide perfectly underneath the shelf. Amazon.com: MTM ACR8 Ammo Crate Utility Box – Dry Storage: Sports & Outdoors

    Toytec Body Lift

    Curious...did your body lift affect your MPG at all? Are there any downsides to it besides a marginally higher center of gravity? Thinking maybe I should look into it for tire clearance. Also for OP, congrats and good luck on going twin stick dude! Jealous of you, I would love to do that on...

    2UZ swap?

    Get a supercharger for your V6. It will probably end up being easier and less expensive than swapping in a V8. Or just pull your parts off and purchase a V8 4Runner. If you're really REALLY ambitious, purchase a V8 4Runner, park it next to your V6 one, and spend a few weeks swapping over all of...

    2009 Sport Edition V6 121K miles 1 owner Value?

    If it's in good condition all around...that car would go for $13K+ all day around here in Denver and Salt Lake. There are quite a few higher mileage facelift 4Runners that still go in the high $10Ks. I'm jealous, my friend has that color and I really like it! The one you're looking at probably...

    6 hours into a timing belt and “not done yet”

    Sounds about par for the course...my first time took me about 9 hours, the second time just under 6. Don't forget to put the plastic triangle piece back on the bottom part of the timing cover.

    285 Pics Please

    I'm at about that height in lift. Fits fine, if I really slam it I still hit the fender liner, but I don't really care.
