Our rear hatch stuck closed. I did all the research and have tried all the reset methods mentioned in the forums or on YouTube. Now we’ve pulled the back plastic panel off and have been trying to manually release the latch per the videos, to no avail. The door won’t budge. There’s...

Does anyone know who’s 4Runner this one is? Curious if there is a build thread. I’d love to see what all went in to this.

Took our 4Runner in for an alignment and the shop said we need to replace the Inner CV. I've done some searching and youtube watching and it seems pretty easy. My question, is what is the proper part or part number that I need to replace? I see the half shaft on Rock Auto and see lots...

Elan, What is the part number for the hose that you ended up replacing? Or did you just buy standard hose and clamps? Thanks for the details, great thread, and I'm hoping for similar results. I have P0455 and P0441 codes, tried the gas cap to no avail. The purge valve up in the engine bay...

Ended up getting the Cooper ATP's. Smokin deal during the Memorial Day sale from Discount Tire. Couldn't pass it up. The ride is definitely more firm but not bad. Amazing how much of the soft "mush" in the ride is gone now. I thought it was just the suspension, but now realize it's...

Higher psi is ok if it's better for hauling the boat. I just don't want te sidewalls wearing out after a couple years from the loads. If Pmetric are better, anybody have any comparisons with the kl61's vs Pmetric kl78's?

Tire help - which load rating & tire--- Any input on the Kumho KL61 P vs KL78 E ?? Looking at new tires, trying to keep the cost down as much as possible. We have a 2005 V8 4x4 Sport. We tow a 4,500lb boat occasionally, lake is about 20 miles away, northern California. Not much off road...

He didn't have the valve rates since they don't sell the re-labled mono shocks anymore. He also said that since the piston, etc inside could be different than what we're comparing it with (oem, and Bilstein), that the valve rates wouldn't give an accurate comparison. Not sure how true this is...

Found out a little more today from ICON. The rear mono shocks they were selling before were built by both Edelbrock and/or Bilstein and are essentially the same as the 5100's. They used both manufacturers to handle the volume. They no longer sell them since now they are manufacturing their...

The FJ shocks are from a 2010... I've read that they may require some mods to be compatible, is that true? Both have roughly 10k-ish miles on them, so fairly new. I'm not really concerned with the age of either. It would be nice to save money on slightly used vs new, although warranty is...

Thanks all, I've found a set of Icons and a set of FJ Rears... 100 for the Icons (shipped), and &80 for the FJ coils local. Are the 5100's worth the extra $$?

Do you think that's more from the Superflex or the Icons?

I've searched the forums, and the internet in general. I'm looking to see if anyone has any experience with the Icon compared to the Bilstein REAR shocks. I have a 2005 V8 4x4, with the FJ Coils front and rear, and currently have the FJ Bilsteins up front, and the stock 4runner shocks in the...

Doug, Like Swamp Rider said, the coils aren't that much taller. Both the front and rear coils are maybe .5" taller. The front almost look identical, but they must have a stiffer compression rate I'm guessing. The rears have an extra coil in them, and the coils are thicker. There is a...

The 2nd 2 look really nice. It's always nice to have lower mileage, but that's no substitute for good maintenance. The limited has the records so I'd look over those. The leather, sound system, and V8 are all nice to have! Best advice is to compare the 3, see which has been maintained...
