Excellent thread! I'm afraid I've got the dreaded squeal happening while driving at very slow speeds. I've replaced pads all around and the noise is still there. Has anyone found a video on this process? If not a video, at least a step-by-step procedure for doing this job? I'm really not looking...

I had a GREAT experience with Ironman's support. I bought their NitroGas setup for my 07 T4R and decided to install it myself even though I'd never done any such mechanical work on my car before - never even changed my own oil! I got stuck a couple times and called Ironman support and received...

Well, I've read a bunch of posts on this noise, but yours was the only one with a video that sounded like mine. I have a 4th Gen, not a third, but that popping sound is exactly what I get at about that same speed and situation (a bit of twisting/flexing the rig). I guess I'll check all the nuts...

I have Ironman Nitrogas 2" coils and shocks all around on my 07 and I'm very happy with them.

Props to the OP (46Runner) Shout out to the OP for this post! I followed it almost exactly. The only thing I did differently was I used a funnel and some tubing to fill the tranny instead of a hand pump. But, the pics and step-by-step instructions were spot-on and super helpful! The old fluid I...

Maybe this is a stupid question, but would the two Pods provide better coverage & visibility than say an 18" bar installed in the lower bumper? It just seems like it'd be easier to install than trying to make the pods work.

I know this is an old thread, and perhaps this is a stupid question, but if you have a 4th Gen SR5 would you just upgrade to 4th Gen "Sport Brakes" instead of 5th Gen? Would that be easier and make more sense? Also, here's another stupid question, how would I know if my 4th gen calipers are...

So, I too did the Ironman Nitro Gas 2" Comfort or Stock load setup with front and back shocks and coils. I'm super happy with the look and the ride. I got at least 3" out of them, but I think that's because I was still on the original shocks/coils. I also put new 2018 T4R wheels on which had a...

Major bummer, but sounds like you've got the right attitude. This is why some people can't be trusted with cellphones.

So pardon my ignorance, but it seems like you're saying that I can dictate what the alignment shop sets my alignment at. Is that correct? Or, are you setting it yourself? I just drove my rig to the alignment place and paid for an alignment. I didn't know I was supposed to tell them how I wanted...

Thanks Derek. I'm nowhere near 3.5. I'm at 1.3 and 1.39. But my steering feels fine. The specs say that 3.97 is the max. I guess we'll see how it settles in. Perhaps over time it'll feel like it's wandering more, but for now it feels great! My only real concern is the CV axles. I've already...

Thanks. I had it aligned and they didn't say anything about any problems, so I assume it's OK. I attached a pic of my rig with the new suspension.
