I am finally in a position to be able to use my 95 SR5 for what I bought it for. To go out and explore and have adventures with my son like my ol' man did for me. Its been a while since i've really played in the dirt so I was hoping you all could shed some light on what brand/model/type of...

Yeah tomorrow may work...let me know. Looking forward to pushing my rig a little and meeting some new people.

So being a new 4r owner, I am not to keen on where to go around San Diego to actually have some fun with my rig. I have found/been taken to a couple of OK spots but they weren't all that great. And I know i see a LOT of runners around here....where are you guys at? It would be great to hook...

Really appreciate the responses guys. I forgot to mention I guess that i do already have manual hubs. And do plan on replacing the ball joints with the spacers. From what I can find, with new OEM coils, the 4crawler spacers and the ball joint spacers up front I don't THINK I will need new...

So I am new to the off road scene. I've done plenty of suspension work but I've never done a full on lift kit. I am planning on installing the 4crawler spring spacers and new coil springs in the rear, and the 4crawler ball joint blocks up front. I know their sight talks about the panhard bar...

Appreciate the info. Guess I need to look a little deaper into the mpg issue because I've definitely never seen north or 12 mpg. My daily commute is about 15 miles one way on relatively flat freeway's here in San Diego. Switched most of the fluids after I bought it to synthetics but still...

So being new to this, maybe this covered somewhere else but I've seen some 4runners with and some without (like mine) the swing to side spare tire mount. Was this a factory offering or do i need to pick up an aftermarket one? And how hard are they to actually install? Would really love to...

Appreciate the info...didn't realize locking hubs were something to upgrade to. Thought the ones on mine were stock. I do have an auto but with manual lockers it shouldn't matter right? As far as using the land cruiser coils....I am assuming I need the same year? and how difficult are the...

Alright, so I picked up a 4runner about 8 months ago. 95 SR5. Thing is in great condition. 175K on the odometer and the gentlemen I bought it from had just rebuilt the motor. new heads and all top end gaskets, new water pump/timing chain, etc. Runs like a champ. put about 6 thousand on it...

So I guess we'll jump right into it. Bought a 95 SR5 4x4 about 8 months ago. Finally getting time to really get out and enjoy it. Looking for some insight and education on any common problems, suggested modifications, fun places to go play in the dirt, etc. Gonna poke around the forums some...
