    4th Gen Suspension Options/FAQ

    I can piggy back off of this and tell you that you can do it yourself. I'm not very experienced with this stuff and I was able to replace my X-REAS system. It probably took a little longer than it should have because of rusted/seized bolts but it wasn't too bad. Also, my shocks were just plain...

    What did you do with your 4runner today?

    Did the RAS to Coil conversion. Put some coils in from a 5th GEN TE. Felt great on the short test drive at least.

    4th Gen Suspension Options/FAQ

    I honestly don't remember what I have the fronts set at, I can change it when I put the springs up front though. Should I do .85 or something?

    4th Gen Suspension Options/FAQ

    Can anyone tell me I'm not crazy... On my 03 Limited V8 I pulled out my XREAS system and put in 5100s 6 months ago and now I want to replace springs. I found springs from a 2014 TE and I'm getting the kid from MetalTech to convert the RAS. Will all of this make a good combination/am I missing...

    Spring (And more?)

    I have a 2003 Limited v8. When i bought it the XREAS system was DONE so I took that out and put new 5100s in. Well it seems like the RAS is now just about done as well so its time to replace that. All I've seen says that the RAS is stupid expensive to replace and I'm better just swapping it...

    Brake Pads/Rotors Brands?

    I'm trying to replace the brake pads and rotors on my 2003 Limited V8. I'm not trying to buy top of the line stuff, I'm not looking for an upgrade. At this point my life this thing is mainly driven the 10ish miles to/from work daily and maybe a 25 minute drive on the weekends. I am hoping to...

    Squeal/Squeak

    Ok so odd one here... I have an opinion, but I wanted to see if I was thinking along the right lines... I intermittently get a squeaking/squealing sound that STOP when the brake is APPLIED. It just started happening (had the rig for 2 months). It happened, I went into a party and when I came...

    JBL system replacement ADVICE

    Use the chat function or just call Crutchfield. They are very helpful, you can describe what you're seeing if you're unsure of what you have and they'll let you know what's compatible. I talked to them about every step of my JBL refresh and they were super helpful. I ended up only buying one...

    Quick stereo question (single to double DIN)

    Most likely you put in an "adapter" to both support the single din differently and to change the aesthetics so there wasn't a giant hole. You should be able to take the adapter out and by the appropriate one for the double din that you're purchasing.

    Dumb question of the day

    Thanks for the reply. I went to NGK's site and looked up my model there. I'm going with the NGK Iridium Ix Spark Plug (BKR6EIX-11) unless someone tells me I'm an idiot. For some context I have a 2003 Limited v8 with 203k miles.

    Dumb question of the day

    Today's dumb question from me concerns "plugs and wires". I've always heard (and I understand why) that a good maintenance item to complete is replacing the plugs and wires. I'm pretty sure I've figured out which plugs I want but why do I not really see anything about wires or coil packs or...

    Drivers Door Speaker Issue

    Holy F! I figured it out by throwing crap at a wall and seeing what stuck. I removed this lovely item when I had it apart because it was a DVD/Navigation component of the old system? O.o Well apparently my front driver's side door speakers are somehow run through it. Anyone have further...

    Drivers Door Speaker Issue

    Well I have a 2 channel amp from a previous car that will be pushing the aftermarket sub. I had planned to put a 4-channel amp in later on down the road. As far as using the multimeter, will I really see enough voltage fluctuation to register appropriately on it?

    Drivers Door Speaker Issue

    That's the one I have. It is connected so that it is being supplied to the amp via the stock wiring, not RCA.
