Sorry for late reply, the rears were air springs replaced with Moogs (I think) whatever the replacement "kit" is (aint much of a kit). It sits level now (for over a year), front 5100's fully cranked on new springs and rear new springs.

Rear air spring delete and I still can't get over how much nicer it drives, it always felt unsettled and twitchy before, now its stable / smooth like a Cadillac and actually enjoyable to drive. New (but stock) front and rear coil springs + Bilstein 5100's.

I saw a lifted white 5th gen on gold wheels a few months ago and it looked awesome. Had I seen that before I would have went gold on mine over black.

I guess I should have mentioned that it had air springs in the back and one of them must have popped because the rear had gotten lower and the ride was horrendous and bumpy. I took a peek under and also noticed the tail pipe was broken off at the muffler. Ordered up the Monroe 90022C coil...

Are there any options that delete the cats and bolt up to stock exhaust? Long tubes? Or something a competent exhaust shop could work with. I dont need to worry about e-tests

^ You're probably right, it has new Bilstein 5100's all around including new springs in the front. The springs in the rear are stock. I would hate to put new springs in the rear just for it to end up the same after they set in/sagged though. The fronts did that, I only went with 1" (one click...

The tires rub if its any lower up front and I like the way it sits now, it rarely ever has a load in it anyway. I know you're supposed to add spacers to the rear after the front is up all the way with the 5100's so wondering what other people used so I can order them.

Do the shorties bolt up once the stock manifolds are removed? I will sell the stock ones with cats to a scrapper and hopefully cover the cost of the headers, or most of it. The tick tick tick is annoying as heck.

I camp in mine all the time but I just fold the seats down and use a sleeping pad + sleeping bag. I put the cooler in the passenger seat and I have a tupperware bin with all the camping stuff that fits under the rear of the rig so it wont get wet if it rains. I tie/bungee a small tarp off the...

My rig was level but now she's doing the carolina squat. What spacer do I get for the rear to level it out, 1.5" daystar?

No worries about bumping, its the top google thread when researching other seats. I saw a resto-modded land cruiser that used BMW 5 series seats and looked awesome, but as the dude above asked, would the airbag work like the stock 4runner seat does? Its a daily driver, I'd like to keep the...

Thanks gents, I'll drop the flat/dead spare and toss it in a dumpster. As for the light, I'd prefer to keep it. When you run over a piece of metal on the highway and the light comes on it gives you fair warning to get off the road. Don't ask. (my TRD pros and K02's have brand new sensors)

Blue 5th gen appears to be a power train mule if that's what they're doing there, probably has the 2.4T or 2.4T w/ hybrid hacked into it for durability testing. Also to note above posts, most of these mandatory changes have been mandated - Toyota (and everyone else) is just doing their best to...

Toyota built their rep on using many of the same parts for years with a laser focus on ironing out any kinks, their cars were basic transportation. Look at the last Tundra. A very basic truck, that cost more than a GM, Ford or Dodge. Unless you were a Toyota fanatic there was no way you...

My TPMS light has been on forever even though they're all new, except the one in the flat spare that doesn't even match anymore. Will the light go off if I simply remove the spare from under the rig?
