    Spare Tire Cable/Winch replacement

    If I recall correctly I tore it apart from the bottom with pry bar, hammer and angle grinder. Then used the angle grinder to dig into the bolts from underneath until enough of each bolt was gone to pry it off. After reading how hard it was going to be on rust belt vehicles I was hoping the...

    A pillar leak

    Plugged sunroof drain hoses. Or from leaky windshield seal. I have had both. The windshield leak was caused by some rust at top of windshield right next to and under the seal.

    4th Gen Armor Thread 2.0

    Coastal Offroad skid plate with stock bumper? I have been looking at the coastal offroad front skid plate weld together kit and keep the stock bumper. I can't find any pics of this setup. I am concerned there will be a large gap between the bottom of the bumper and where the skid plate mounts...

    Lift and Tire Central (pics)... Post 'em Up!

    It's 4x4. No 2wd were available at dealerships in Canada so I hear. When I first started looking into the 4Runner I was surprised to learn there was a 2wd option. Seems like all SUV's should have some sort of 4x4 or AWD option if you ask me. I have only had this for about 6 months ans love it...

    '06 V8 with 5th Gen springs/shocks. 1" Cornfed spacer on the front. 255/75/17 Duratracs. No rubbing so far. I think I still want another inch higher on the front, I have a 2" spacer I may swap in. The rims were pretty beat up so I sprayed some Duplicolour wheel paint in them with a matte clear.

    5th gen suspension conversion question

    I just installed springs and shocks from a 2019 4R in my 06. That round metal piece with the hook on it came out with my shocks. I did not put it back in. Also the top of my shocks look different than yours. The guy I bought mine from said they came off a TRD sport. I probably should have...

    Transfer case longevity on V8 models

    Ok, Good to know. Burnouts was a bit of an exaggeration, I don't think any of us would be doing smoke shows Cletus style. I am more interested what would happen in limited traction slower speed situations. Light snow in the suburbs going around corners, or wet grass up hill. I know on some...

    Transfer case longevity on V8 models

    Sorry, i quoted the wrong post. It was meant to quote the guy with the V8 who commented on 2WD mode with the FJ xfer case. How does vsc and traction control react doing rwd burnouts?

    Removed XREAS and installed springs and shocks from a 2019 4Runner that only had 1000km on them. XREAS was leaking ans had a terrible ride. I disconnected the hydraulic hoses at the banjo bolts not the check valves. One circuit had zero pressure inside and the other had almost none. The...

    4th Gen Suspension Options/FAQ

    Hello, I am looking at a take off set of springs and shocks from a 2020 5th gen TRD off-road. Does anyone know if these shocks are twin tube or monotube? I am trying to decide if it's worth it to pick up this set or just wait until I can upgrade to 5100's and OME springs.
