Raise vehicle. Loosen lugs half way or so. Stand up, turn around, and donkey kick the crap out of the tire sidewall.

The Eibach setup will be more comfortable for daily driving. The Bilsteins may have a bit more control in real serious off-road stuff. For the trails you're noting, a 5th gen 4runner on some decent tires and maybe a leveling kit (Eibach and Bilsteins will get you that), the truck will be PLENTY...

Yep, I wish Toyota would have used really long intake runners and/or different cams to trade some upper rpm HP for some much needed lower end torque. Better yet, they should have installed the 6 speed automatic from the Tundra and regeared the differentials a bit deeper. MPGs and acceleration...

Has anyone figured out a solution to the excessive downshifting from 5th to 4th in cruise control? One of my biggest gripes with these 5th gens is the TCU's insistence to downshift from 5th to 4th while in cruise control and dealing with slightest grade. If you're not in cruise control, you can...

Thanks. Is this amp completely plug and play?

I guess I'll be the first :) I'll make sure to post up the results.

In anyone currently running or formerly ran the Eibach Pro-Truck shocks on the stock ride height setting and OEM springs? Second question, if you did run these shocks on stock ride height setting and OEM springs, did the ride height truly stay factory height on the stock ride height setting? I...

Is anyone using the Beat-Sonic ENA-2T3 amplifier in their non-JBL head unit 2020+ 5th gen? I did try searching for this amp on the forum but I cannot seem to find any threads or posts. My wife has a 2020 TRD Premium with the OEM non-JBL nav head unit. I installed the OEM Audio+ speakers years...

I've been doing oil changes on my wife's 2020 4runner since new and I've done a ton of oil changes because she drives so much. Yes, it takes a little force to break the filter cap loose and it does get somewhat tight towards the last 30% of running it down, but don't over-think this. Run it...

Thank you, I may try out the front Powerstop pads (part no. Z23-976B).

I had my eyes on them, but it says they only fit up to 2016 4runners. Why? The same calipers have been used since 2010, no?

I'm wanting to buy a set of used 5th gen OEM front coilover assemblies in good condition. I need all parts. I only need the passenger side but understand if you want to only sell the set. Ideally, I want the set to have less than 50K miles. Please PM me with offers. I am located in Kansas City...

Anyone have direct experience (meaning you've used them) finding front brake pads with more initial bite? My wife's 4runner is due for new pads. I hate the initial bite (basically non-existent) of the OEM pads. I understand some of it is the affect electronic braking system. I am also aware of...

Thanks. And yep, we installed the Pro LED fog lights when we did the Pro grill, front and rear scuff plates, etc.

Thank you!
