I'm finally getting around to addressing the saggy rear-end issue. I was at 4Wheel Parts today and a set of EMU coilsprings and shocks are going to run me around $600 with install. I think its a rip-off, these guys must think I was born yesterday. I've seen an EMU stage I or II kit go for about...

Been doing a search on how to locate and replace the fuel filter. Can anyone assist? Thanks.

I'm thinking of doing something to the front-end to update the look of my 2nd gen 4R. I started looking for lightbars but quickly found out that there are only a couple of choices: one by Procomp and one by Carr. I also looked for bullbars like the Westin bull bars. But they only make them for...

Hey guys, I read several threads addressing this issue. I want everyone's opinion on which one I should get to lift the sagging rear end on my 2nd gen 4R. Couple of things to take into consideration. I don't plan on lifting my truck anytime soon. I have replaced all 4 shocks with a set of...

Looks like I'll get the lift installed first, then try to see what wheel/tire combo will fit. My goal is to have enough negative offset so that the tire would stick out, not too much, but just enough to give it a more aggressive stance. I live in California and I'm the 1st and only owner of...

I love the way the lift levelled and lifted your rig! I appreciate the pix you've posted. It made it a lot easier for me to understand how this lift is setup. I'm definitely getting this setup. Did you install the kit yourself and how hard was it? Also, how wide are your wheels? And would...

Thanks for the reply. This kit looks good. A couple of questions: 1) What makes the lift in this kit, is it the longer springs or shocks? 2) I noticed that the kit doesn't contain springs for the front. How was the lift achieved in the front? 3) What are the balljoint spacers for? 4)...

Hey guys, Can anyone provide a how-to for tuning up a 95 Toyota 4Runner V6? The engine in my truck has approx 200k miles (but rebuilt a year ago) and its really doing poorly on gas mileage. So I'm thinking of replacing the plugs, distributor and cables / coil packs (whichever ones it has), and...

I'm finally getting around to fixing up my 2nd gen 4Runner (4WD). It needed a lot of major work and I'm pretty much at the last part, suspension and wheels/tires. The suspension in my rig is totally shot. So basically, I'm gonna need to decide whether I should just replace the stock suspension...
