    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    Yes, this is the after. Refer to before and after pics posed here. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/251418-bilstein-trd-pro-suspension-kit-sale-ptr13-35140-a-59.html#post2987103 There will always be some level of nosedive going on. Did it solve how horrible the stock suspension is in...

    Bilstein TRD Pro suspension kit on sale PTR13-35140

    Got this kit in the mail from ToyotapartsDeal.com, $626 shipped. Zero questions on VIN. Buddy came over at around 12:00pm yesterday, and we wrapped up everything at 4:00pm. Both of us having never done a suspension swap before. The install PDF from Toyota previously posted is extremely helpful...

    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    Put a small lift in on Sunday. Went with the FJ TRD Bilstein suspension that Toyota seems to be liquidating. Maybe it's just confirmation bias, but she drives much, much better. Plus, what's not to hate about a little TRD red flashing from the wells? Installation was a breeze. I have some...

    Bilstein TRD Pro suspension kit on sale PTR13-35140

    That is good to hear, thank you for providing feedback. After much hemming and hawing, I've made the leap and ordered this setup to give it a go. Edit: Anyone that has purchased or access to the Toytec 1" TRD Baja/PRO perch replacement spacer; I would love to find out the physical dimensions of...

    5th Gen 4Runner Lift Buyers Guide

    Look up Zero Point Calibration, (from what I've gleaned from reading the forums) sometimes if the lift is too great from the factory settings the yaw and acceleration sensor in your 4Runner goes a bit wonky...

    Another Bilstein 5100 question

    Running Cooper Discoverer AT3's in 275 flavor with no rubbing. Most people can run 285 KO2s with minimal trimming from what I gather. You'll be fine completely stock.

    4Runners in scenic places

    Buddy got a 2014 Raptor on Friday. Took it out to Silver Island Mountain byway and had some fun. Damn that thing is dangerously fun. As for my rig; it's my first real foray out in the 4runner with some easy/medium trails. We were both incredibly impressed with how it handled everything with...

    Scooped up a Yakima Fatcat Evo 6 on the cheap, some cleaner and ArmorAll and she's good as new. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    Forgot to post this last week in the hullabaloo that is our lives at the moment. Putting our home up on the market and having to battle the elements at the same time is draining. On the plus side, I absolutely love driving her in the snow. Everyone else in the valley freaks out and decides to...

    Extended Warranty? 2015 4Runner limited

    Dealerships don't exist to save people money; despite what they'd like you to think. Just gotta pick the business that's going to be ever slightly more gentle when they take you to the bank and bend you over. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Extended Warranty? 2015 4Runner limited

    @gamster5 tbh I didn't do too much internet shopping around (and I really should have, oh well) I just compared them to my local dealerships. Regardless of who you decide to go with it's hilariously sad how drastic the prices plummet when you mention some external source. Especially when it's...

    Post your LIFTED pix here!

    This is my dream, I plan on doing exact thing this as soon as I find the time and spare change. What dobinsons spring part numbers did you use? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Went to the dealer for a speaker issue - Was lied to and caught them mocking me

    While I agree, isn't one party OP, and would be ok to record. Your state may require two party consent, which would be OP and the dealership. Armchair lawyering aside, this is a good point to consider. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
