No rub, no scrub whatsoever. Overall I am happy with them. They have been good in snow and performed well when I went to a mudded up rut hole of a mess OHV in Illinois last summer. They will get tested on some rocks in August when I go to Ouray for a couple days! Maybe the only drawback is...

2/1 Lift I went with Fox 2.0 which come set at 2" for the front and then got some cornfed spacers for the rear to go with the 0-1" lift shock option. I have about 7k on the setup and like the ride. They are more than the billies but are able to be rebuilt. As for ride quality the fox shocks...

Here ya go. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/92013-antmans-thread-24.html#post989173 I took some inspiration from this and had my amp mounted under the driver seat and it fits just fine. The shop I had do it connected into the door speaker wires near the kick plate and didn't go...

welcome back Just when I thougth I was out.. they pull me back in!: http://youtu.be/242H7F8DKHA

Here is some midwest snow.

This is a topic that I have much interest in. Not so much for when I feel warm but for when the engine gets warm. Before my 5th gen I had a 2001 sr5 t4r and yes it would warm up to operating temp quicker. I never put a stopwatch to it but it was an obvious difference. Also to note in my...

Just a couple of pics having fun with my son after picking him up from school.

The fox setup you are referring to is what I went with. I have approx 2k on the setup and have no complaints. The ride quality is just what I was looking for. Other setups may work better but I would have to suggest getting the same brand/type for sake of when it comes time to rebuild them you...

Snapped of pic of these two after I got them both washed up yesterday. In Iowa you have to take advantage of any day in January above 40 to hand wash at home! My 14 TEP and my wife's 14 Accord EX.

Glad I ordered mine 11/1/14 and got them right away. Also to answer OP, no you do not need spacers to run 275's on stock TE wheels.

re: Will 285's fit http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/156378-5th-gen-tire-fitment-guide.html#post1550444 Hope this helps.

Every truck has the potential to be different but mine was 34 5/8 front and 36 3/4 rear completely stock.

Yes. Leave the sides, top and bottom flush with the back of the seat and recess the panel with the speaker. This is just a thought btw only the tape measure and calculator will determine if it will work.

The pic with the tailgate closed helps a lot. It looks like there is enough room in there to fit a wedge shape box in there. As for suggestions on box construction see if you can recess the panel that the sub is mounted on by at least the amount of deflection produced by the sub when on i.e...

That is how I normally build sub enclosures (pic included to show my design). I do this mainly to protect the speaker. I have a 15 JLw0 that was in my 3rd gen that I have not yet put into my 5th gen that is built this way. But after looking at the amount of space that is left with the 3rd row...
