Thanks for all the info!

Thanks for that info! I am going through the other drivers insurance company since she was at fault. I think I will also lawyer up as I fully expect them to try screwing me.

Silly details :) forgot that info 4wd and V6

So, someone turned left while I had the green going straight, clipped me and performed a perfect PIT maneuver, causing my 2004 4Runner to land on its top, totaling it fortunately I am fine, but I’m worried about how to deal with insurance. I have witnesses and a green light, but haven’t seen the...

Thanks, I figured as much but hoped ... Any secrets to swapping them out? I know some cooling systems are picky if air gets trapped in during things like hose changes. One more thing, looking at various parts places, what two hoses are they. Long day at work, too tired to sort it out. Thanks!

Found a coolant leak and been watching it. Not losing any significant fluid, but just wondering about it as it is hot here. Not sure how much of the heater core pipe should be exposed, so could it be something as simple as the hose needs to slide further onto the heater core pipes? Haven't...

Finally got out to test the Ironman suspension I put on a few weeks ago. First two photos are post lift. Third photo is from the same spot right after I bought the truck, with the stock setup - lots more wheel travel :) Dramatic improvement over what was on before - eats up the washboards and...

Great start. I am pondering the same thing, but have never, ever welded :) Can you show us a detail shot of how it is mounted to the factory roof rack holes? Thanks!

Installed a set of drawers that have been with me for several years - my 2001 4Runner and my 2002 Trooper - now in my 2004 4Runner. Not an ideal size - a little too narrow, and a little too high, but I was tired of stuff rattling around in the back - plus they were free!

The spring on the Ironman vs. stock is much more substantial and the ride, up front, is buttery smooth. Back is a little harsh, but that is to be expected until I get my stuff packed back there. Do you have any pics of the 884 vs stock vs Ironman? Just curious how different it is. Overall I am...

How common are sticky calipers in dry climates like Arizona? It seems like, in reading through threads, the majority of complaints come from people living in harsher climates (haven't really seen complaints from places like AZ and California). Am I just not seeing them? Just curious to hear of...

I did, here they are side by side. The "original" shock was replaced at one point as it was some aftermarket brand I'd never heard of. Suspect the spring was original.

Got the regular FoamCell (couldn't afford the pro's) Rides nice, rear is pretty firm though. I suspect it will be better with a bit of weight once I get setup.

Finished installing the Ironman lift ... Massive difference over stock (especially old worn out stock).

Got the front end lifted ... Vast improvement in looks and ride. I've taken measurements all around and while Ironman says 45mm (1.77 inches from stock) for the front, I got significantly more than that from my saggy old setup. Pics to come once I finish the rear, either today or tomorrow. But...
