    Bilstein 5100 - 0.85 or 1.75? Pics?

    Does anyone have photos (or a link to some) of a V6 2WD on 5100's set to 1.75", stock springs, no spacers? The picture above at 0.85" looks like there is still some rake to the front. I'm looking at putting 5100's on my 4Runner and want it pretty much level, but no rake to the rear. Thanks.

    Compiled: FJ Springs Lift Info for 4th gen

    After reading all 23 pages of this thread, I think I have it........but I just want to make sure before ordering parts, so please bear with me. I have a 2006 Sport 2WD V6 with 160k miles on the stock XREAS suspension. Right now the front is sagging big time. I've decided to toss the XREAS...

    Successful 5th Gen Key fob swap!

    Well it's been 2 weeks since I installed the new batteries and spacer in my remote keyfobs (http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/147782-successful-5th-gen-key-fob-swap-13.html#post1501695), and both are still working just fine. You guys who are having problems should seriously consider...

    Successful 5th Gen Key fob swap!

    Okay, I think I found the problem and a solution to the keyfobs not working. I was having the same problems as others here. Bought two keys from ebay seller extra_partss, got them cut and programmed just fine. They both worked fine for about a week before the first one took a crap and the...

    OEM Automatic Headlight Install

    Just completed this mod! I was lucky enough to find a used light sensor on ebay for $33 shipped, and then I just ended up buying both the headlight switch and wiring harness from ToyotaPartsZone.com for another $130 shipped. Many thanks for the great write-up, which made things go smoothly.

    map light mod for limiteds with running board lights

    Just completed this mod along with the Homelink mirror mod (since they are in the same area). I have a Sport without running boards, so I just tapped into the A pillar. Like others have said, there is a white ribbon wire with three wires; I cut in between each of the three wires to seperate...

    Did you pay more? 3rd row thread!

    I think people are talking bad about it because its something they don't have. When I was looking for a 4runner, I wanted one with a 3rd row just in case I needed it. I basically found ONE available in my state, and when I went to go buy it, it was already sold. So I had to settle for not...

    What did everyone pay for their 4th gen?

    We were looking to downsize from a 2006 Nissan Titan crew cab (fully loaded....leather, nav) to something that got better gas mileage....and was lighter on the car payments. Picked up a white 2006 Sport V6 2WD with 155k miles for $10,000 from private party. I wasn't really looking for one with...

    Successful 5th Gen Key fob swap!

    I just got mine in too today (with the Toyota logo on the back!!!), and I tried to go to Ace Hardware to have them cut. But apparently Ace won't cut keys that they don't sell. Stupid. So I think I'm just going to go to a reputable locksmith to get them cut, because I don't want to risk...

    map light mod for limiteds with running board lights

    Thanks for posting this! I just sold my Nissan Titan LE for this 4Runner, and my Titan's map lights came on when the doors were open. I though there was something wrong with the 4Runner until I learned that Toyota didn't design them to come on with the doors open. It's the little things.

    Auto Dimming Mirror Install w/pictures

    Think I just got a good deal....I picked up a Gentex 453 Homelink mirror with autodim and amber compass from ebay seller "camsmirrors" for $130 shipped. He has 100% positive feedback, so I'm pretty comfortable that this will work. Can't wait to install it....I've had Homelink mirrors on my...
