    Lower Control Arm Replacements?

    I just went with the 1A Auto LCAs, installed them and haven't had any problems. I think people overthink it. It's not a complex part and it does a simple job, well so far for me. I don't think it makes sense to spend a lot of money on this area. My experience here so far!

    Write-up: How to Disable (Bypass) the TPMS

    This was awesome, worked great for me! However my check engine light went away too sooo, not sure if that was supposed to happen. Anybody see how that could have been correlated maybe??

    DIY Carbon Fiber Snorkel

    It looks great and props for the commitment to finish it. I finished going through your build thread and it is some good stuff. All I can say is, man, that's a lot of work haha!

    FS: 4th gen BAJA RACK - $700 - Portland, OR

    Hello everyone, I am selling the Baja Rack, I got something else that works better for me. It is a bit rough, hence the discounted price, would recommend to get it sanded down and re-painted. No structural damage, just paint. Will include the mounting hardware I used for it, if desired. Item...

    Installing Doug Thorley Headers on 2005 4.7L V8 w. 2" BL

    If you can figure it out, all the power to you, but it was cheaper and easier for me to forage a blow torch and some cheek in tongue swings at the headers to be able to drive the 4runner out of the shop versus leaving it there longer

    Installing Doug Thorley Headers on 2005 4.7L V8 w. 2" BL

    Bring out the blow torch and the sledge hammer, that's my opinion and what I did and what worked for me. The data supports that there are NO negative effects and my own experience and 5k miles on the vehicle also support that. To each their own

    True North Fab REAR plate bumper

    Anyone with the 4th gen Rear bumper HYBRID bumper? Anyone with the 4th gen Rear bumper HYBRID bumper? I am looking for more information on it from actual users, but it looks quite simple and more aesthetic then anything else I have seen so far.

    Lower Control Arm Replacements?

    I am buying these along with the Inner and Outer Tie Rod set from 1A Auto as well. Did you use the factory hardware, did you need to buy anything else? Camshaft bolts etc? And if so, from where did you grab them? What grease did you use to add extra to the BJs as well? Thank you :)

    Installing Doug Thorley Headers on 2005 4.7L V8 w. 2" BL

    I hope you can figure something out, not sure what relocation you could possibly do but GL �� Again, closing on 25k miles since the "header abuse" and the truck is running the same as day one. I don't have anything negative to say about smashing them with a hammer, I've done it, others have...

    Installing Doug Thorley Headers on 2005 4.7L V8 w. 2" BL

    Hey hey, It's been awhile. Alright so the 4runner is still running the same as before, no different sounds, feels, smells etc. It's running just as loud and strong as before and turns just as many heads I'll get something together for another video/audio update soon. So I have (2) magnaflow...

    Installing Doug Thorley Headers on 2005 4.7L V8 w. 2" BL

    Update 11/18/2019 Car is still running great, no problems, check engine lights, idling issues, exhaust leaks or anything of the sort. Still getting 12.5 MPG average with my 35" Wrangler Duratracs and it does very well. I have decided to look into installing a muffler however, because, to my...
