Yay. I love it. I might be in the minority, but I miss seeing the amber lights in the back of a car. What you've done reminds me of my older Tacoma. Very nice.

Maybe the ride with the 6112's and the rear Icon V2's turns out to be exactly what you like. It didn't turn out that way for me. I replaced my XREAS after 120,000 miles. I also swapped out my Firestone Destination AT's for the new Yokohama Geolander G015's. My experience is that the ride is...

When I say leaking XREAS I mean the shocks, yes. When I say repair, well, at the Toyota dealership they didn't even quote a repair, they quoted replacement of the XREAS shocks with the stock 4runner SR5 suspension because they said repair was going to be expensive. My sense of the expense was...

My Sport has 120k and I replaced the leaking XREAS with Bilstein 6112's up front and Icon V2.0 in the rear. To be honest, I wish I'd fixed the XREAS. There are advantages to XREAS in my mind. The first is the mileage, 120k on stock suspension before failure seems pretty damn good. The second...

I'm also hoping for a Black Friday deal. My XREAS is finally starting to fail so I'm in need of something. The trick is, I want to keep the height stock. I just read that the new 6112's on the lowest setting lift the 4runner. Is that true? I read it takes the rake out and the 4runner runs...

There's a Dorman 41000 Cup Holder Insert on Amazon that may work too. I see in the questions portion that someone with a 2005 4runner bought and installed two of these. It's the second question. I might give it a go.

Do you have any pictures with the current setup you mention - stock everything, but 265/70r17 Firestone ATs? That's what I'm going to run next and I wonder how the slightly bigger tires will look. Thanks!

I'm catching up.

You're running the exact setup I was hoping to put on my 2006. It's unsettling to hear a negative review when the 5100's get such good reviews. Like you I figured the 6112's would be an upgrade. Eventually I have to get rid of my XREAS and your post tempers my enthusiasm for the 6112's a bit..

I've read this before and always wondered if the rola rack could be moved backwards to give enough room for the sunroof. Was thinking of pulling the trigger soon. Amazon had great a price on the rack last time I looked and we could use the extra space. Like you though, the wife wants the...

Thanks!

Where did you get the paint matched grill? I've been looking around for best prices....

Agreed. It's a good looking 4runner.

I'm curious, could you install the 6112's and 5100's and maintain stock height? The mrs. is short and we have a new baby so she'd like the 4runner to stay stock for now. We'll lift it later. My XREAS is going on 100000miles and I fear it's days are numbered... Your rig looks great BTW. It's a...

Did you ever resolve the USB issue?
