    Tundra Brake Mod

    After weeks of reading, I still have questions on the Tundra brake mod...mostly because all the threads seem to deal with 3rd gen. I want to get 231mm calipers, but I'm confused with rotors. What rotor size do I need to get for a 2006 with 17" stock wheels? Am I able to keep my original rotors...

    Tundra Brake Mod - 4th Gen

    Need some help...what setting to set my Bilstein 5100's

    FWIW: I did my billie and FJ spring lift in April. I had it set to 0.85 with a 1/4" Toytec spacer. My opinion is that a very slight rake is good; you want to have the weight shift to the front when you brake hard so that cornering and handling are at its best. The result was that it...

    FJ springs and 5100s done..... but

    I also set to 0.85 (had mine done this weekend) and would not go any higher. I have only .75 inch of rake between rear and front, and I also prefer a little rake. I could actually use a bit more as the 4Runner sometimes looks to me like the rear is lower - even though it's not - and I would...

    Our 4th generations are better than the 2011...you should know that.

    Toyota of Dallas (STAY AWAY! FAR AWAY!)

    Service dept and sales are both bad. I could tell you a long story about buying a vehicle there...and getting leather installed once. It's late...I'd rather not. Just stay away from Toyota of Dallas...

    Seafoam 4.7 V8

    Yes, that's the one I used. It had great vacuum suction. Poured over half a can of Seafoam in it, let it sit for 15mins, then revved it up. Didn't have as much smoke as I thought I would - especially compared to all the videos I've seen of others seafoaming their vehicles. I must have had a...

    Seafoam 4.7 V8

    Can someone who successfully ran Seafoam through their vacuum line on a 4.7 V8 just take a picture of what hose it was with the hose clearly marked in the photo, please? I would like to seafoam this weekend. All the photos in these threads seem to be from the people asking where rather than...

    Anyone have Rear 5100's in stock?

    Must be it. Back on topic: if you are looking for Bilsteins, DO NOT try and buy from Eastside Custom Truck. Rather than purchase through their website, I called to see if they had them in stock. I called three times and left messages with no callback. On a random try the fourth time...

    Anyone have Rear 5100's in stock?

    I was just going to post asking about the Bilstein rears. I just got off the phone ordering fronts and rears from Down South Motorsports, and was informed that there are no rear adjustables. I thought I read on the site, someone dialing in the rears at 1.75 and the fronts at .85. Can't find...

    Snow Wheeling In Truckee

    Wow, I'm late to this thread, but have to add that this has to be the best picture thread I've ever seen! 'Makes me miss the mountains, and even more jealous of the rigs in these photos! Killer, killer rides.

    5100s made for FJ compatible with 4Runner?

    Will 5100s for an FJ work on a 4Runner? I'm assuming so...(?)

    Help with FJ Springs & Tires

    4RunnerERD: You hit the nail on the head. The exact look I'm trying to get is a slight leveling and a tad of a lift, with some tougher tires. I planned on doing 1/2" Toytec since I have V8. Presta24: 'Love those tires. What are they? Might be too much for a daily-driver for me. How are...

    Help with FJ Springs & Tires

    Wow. Lots of good info here; really enjoying the reading, and spending too many nights late into the wee hours when I should be going to bed. That being said, I've read as much as I can find in the forum, so my questions are because I could not find the answer I was needing...not a lack of...
