    Central Florida. There are 3 height settings for the front shocks(the rears are not adjustable in height): .85", 1.75" and 2.5". Setting it to 1.75" gets rid of the factory rake/sag in the front on stock springs. If you're using aftermarket lift springs, check on the lift they provide as your...

    I just put 5100s on my 4Runner 2 weeks ago. Transformed the car completely, much more responsive, less floaty, greatly reduced body roll and the ride is stiffer but not overly so. I also used the 2nd height setting, 1.75”, to level out the look. Totally worth it! I got mine on sale for $305 as...

    What did you do with your 4runner today?

    Noticed a howling noise and odd handling developing 2 weeks after I got my shocks put in. Turns out the front passenger bearing was completely gone and the front drivers side was about 50% gone. So, I replaced both front hub assemblies with OE parts, rotated the tires and did a full synthetic...

    How many miles and what engine oil do you use?

    Pre-Purchase Info, Modifications, Write-Ups, Quick Links, and FAQ's

    You live IN the forest? Like the tent city area? First, all those wires have to be backprobed and verified you got power to each of them. I would def get an electrical diagram for your vehicle, this will be no easy task to do and will be time consuming but it can be fixed. I’ve always wanted...

    What did you do with your 4runner today?

    5100s are on! Also set fronts to 1.75" and it came out great, got rid of the sag. The ride is a bit more firm, responsive and removes the 'boaty' feeling, much more pleasant to drive. Got an alignment too of course, couldn't be happier! Now to remove the running boards!

    What did you do with your 4runner today?

    Hit 160k! Cleaned Throttle body and EGR valve. Much better throttle response, super quiet and smooth as glass at idle. Minor MPG gain(like .2) Future stuff: 5100s get installed on 10/24 Energy bushings? I need to do a full check tomorrow to see if anything is in need of replacement

    4th Gen specific for sale thread

    Can I fit it into my 2006 SR5? I got a new head unit and I realize I would have to run wires to it

    Easy Weekend Mods

    Rockford Fosgates. Yes they sound a bit cleaner, better mids/highs and louder. You won’t get thumping bass without a sub but it’s worth the $45 per pair I think

    What did you do with your 4runner today?

    Put on replacement liftgate struts Replaced HVAC LCD bulb Also: Bought the AJT design key fob cover AND finally pulled the trigger on a set of 5100s. Local 4wheeler shop had them on special for $316 tax included! Might be able to get them installed tomorrow as well! Definitely can't wait to see...
