    FJ80 Rear Shock Input Please

    Sorry for the late reply. My coils fit right in with no issues at all. Are you talking the upper perch or the lower one so that I can go and look at mine again to see the problem that you ran into?

    Thinking of moving on to an 80 series. Thoughts?

    Those are all excellent reasons to own a TLC, dang it now I want one.

    Favorite mod to date! Tinted windshield

    When we bought my wife's Fiat 500 it was like a greenhouse inside the car. Living in Phoenix, we took it to have all of the windows tinted and having the windshield done was the best thing we could have done for that car. We did choose the lightest shade of tint, though so as to not get into...

    What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

    Changed out my stock froze up emergency brake cable for a new one (Wagner) from RockAuto. The only tools needed were a 12mm socket, needle nose pliers and a phillips head screwdriver and now I have a working parking brake. Very easy job that took less than 1 hour to complete. Now I am off to get...

    Towing with your 4Runner?

    Your 4Runner will be just fine towing that size of trailer, especially if U-Haul allows that size of trailer with your vehicle. U-Haul will not allow their trailers to be towed if it is over their 80% figures, so as to not damage their trailers or your vehicles. Do not use the overdrive on the...

    FJ80 Rear Shock Input Please

    I installed those 2011 Trail Edition rear coils and shocks on my '98. Smoother ride now with 1.5" lift to what my saggy originals were at. The coils are fatter in diameter than stock and shorter, too. Stiffer than stock and provides a better ride. My original KYB's were still in good condition...

    Denver Area Toyota Techs

    RSG is backlogged 3 weeks, so I ended up taking my 4rnr to Eagle Automotive in Lakewood. It did cost me a little more, but I got it done yesterday. Plus, they gave me a 4 year warranty on their work.

    FJ80 Rear Shock Input Please

    Tyler James, I have the same color 4Rnr, but my paint job has the Arizona faded look. I hope that I get that much of a lift out of the TE coils. I am currently riding on the bump stops at every ripple in the road.

    FJ80 Rear Shock Input Please

    Thanks HiLuxSurf. There is a guy selling his stock setup for a great deal and I am tired of the saggy rear end. Just thought that I would replace it all with his stock equipment.
