Wow....the only thing that has ever happened with my truck was the volume knob on the radio started acting up....after almost 3 years of use. That's it. Granted, I don't have a sunroof and I never go off-roading; but I've had literally no problems whatsoever.....and I purchased it on Feb 8...

This is the second time I've read a comment like this but every time I research, I can't find much on it. How do you know that the 5th Gen 4Runner's will be built in the US?

Hey Supercliff, Well I finally upgraded to the hitch from the V8. I was able to get the hitch and the bracket for $230 from a local dealer. The install was super easy thanks to your tips. I went ahead and took the bumper completely off. After that, it was a breeze; even without...

Hey CJ3Flyr, I noticed that you are in Cape Coral, FL. That is relatively close to Ft. Myers. I am in the process of trying to rent an enclosed trailer to haul a car and the only place that I could find that actually rents enclosed trailers is up in Ft. Myers. The name of the place is Tropic...

Actually, the Air Lift people said that their 2 year warranty would not apply if I installed it into a 4x2. Meaning, if I got a defective kit for whatever reason...I'm on my own. :bash:

Don't know if you ever got your 4Runner or not but just to let you know that I am down in Miami, FL and I have an 05 SE without a sunroof. I did not special order it...I just went to the dealer and it was sitting there. I can also tell you that not all SE's have the sunroof...at least down...

Sorry, don't mean to hijack the thread but a quick side track. What do you mean by that? Are they no longer going to be built in Japan? If so, where are they going to be built? Also, what is the last year of the Japan built 4Runners, 2007 or 2008? Thanks!

Thanks for the info. Actually, because I have a 4x2 I have to go with the kit made by Firestone. And after reviewing their install instructions, they only offer the separate valve installation option. The kit already comes with two inflation valves for this purpose...

Actually, I had read that in another post that you wrote in. I was going to do the single line hook up, but after reading your advice, I think I'm going to run two lines. Question though. When I see a pic of the kit, it looks like it only comes with one inflation valve. How did you install...

Hey CNI. Supercliff mentioned in the other thread that he installed in about an hour or less. My brother just installed the same Air Lift kit on his 97 4Runner. He had a friend helping out and he said it also took them just under an hour. I found a kit from Firestone and I will try to do a...

Hi dorian10. Air Lift does not make a kit for the 4x2 2003-2008 4Runners. I found a kit made by Firestone that does the same thing. You can find the link on the 2nd page in this thread: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=28459&perpage=15&pagenumber=2 I plan on taking...

No worries! I completely understand! Been there/done that.

Well, I found it after a bit of searching. Turns out that Firestone Industrial Products actually makes an air bag system that looks/installs/functions exactly like the Air Lift 1000 kit. The best part is that the Firestone kit does not make a distinction between the 4x2 and 4x4 models like the...

I just found out that the weight of the trailer is 3050. The weight of the car when fully assembled is 2856. However, the car does not have the engine, tranny, driveshaft and some of the interior in it right now Still, I think I might be slightly over the 5k limit. I'm upgrading just in...

Man...I just found out that I can't install the Air Lift 1000 kit in my 4Runner. I have a 4x2 and according to the product selector on the Air Lift website, they do not make a kit for my truck. Cliff, your truck must be a 4x4 right? I can barely see the badging in your photos, but I think I...
