2013 SR5 Running Boards, Floor Mats, Rear Springs, Shocks I have some stock items from my 2013 SR5 for sale. I'm posting here in case any forum members are interested AND either live around, or find themselves passing through, Central NJ: Running Boards with mounting brackets. Removed after a...

Thanks all, for your input. I guess I'll stick with my initial plan of just pulling them off for the adjustment. Although first I'm going to research the "no spring compressor method", just out of curiosity. Ultimately, I intend to get new clips for the adjustment since I've read about issues...

A couple months ago, I had Bilstein 5100’s installed on all corners of my ’13 SR5, with fronts set at 1.75” and SAWs installed in the rear. Originally I was very happy with the mild rake this yielded. Many miles later, the fronts have settled in, resulting in more of a rake than I want, so I...

I've been considering a hitch-mount winch as well. The only issue holding me back from making the leap is with the overall pull rating. I considered a winch rated for around 9,000lbs because I'm pretty sure my front hitch is rated for that. But I'm not sure the hitch receiver mount plates...

+1 for Wheeler's Offroad. They also were one of the few places that had them in stock at the time I wanted them.

^ Right. And if you're getting the weathertechs or all-weather mats, make sure you aren't still paying for the carpet mats in the final price. And be sure you like, and plan on keeping, the other options like the running boards, roof rack cross bars, etc. You don't want to pay and drive off...

Quoting myself so I can add the second pic I failed to attach the first time around....

5100's and SAWs install Picked it up and played with it! Fronts set to 1.75" on stock springs, and rear SAW 1.5" coils installed. It immediately went to the alignment shop where everything was dialed in perfectly. I netted about 1.5" lift in the front, and easily 2" in the rear. I could...

I think the KO2's look way more rugged than the Rugged terrains.

I was debating between the 1.75" and 2.5" settings. From all the research/reading on here, the results seem to vary. I didn't mind the minor rake mine had, and I'm not really shooting for level, but I was fearful of reverse rake after the install with gear loaded in the back. I guess I'll...

Bilstein and SAW install I dropped off my SR5 at my favorite garage this morning for installation of 4 Bilstein 5100's and rear SAW's. The front 5100s are to be set at 1.75", which should work well with the rears and SAWs. I wanted to do the install myself, but reality set in when trying to...

Bilstein 5100 stock update Just made some inquiries today for front adjustable 5100s #24-196499. Called ShockWarehouse, and they confirmed they have a few in stock. Also just received email from Wheelers, and they say they "have plenty in stock and ready to go". After Bilstein is done with...

Bilstein 5100 back orders I'm interested in knowing if you received the front 5100s. This is not a new situation on these forums... I ordered a set of 4 5100's from autoanything back in mid-September because they had a good price and showed them all as being in stock. They shipped the rears...

15,000 mile maintenance Took my '13 SR5 in for its 15,000 mi maintenance, which is basically a waste of time. But I did it to grab free coffee and breakfast :hungry:, and as an excuse to get to Eastern Mountain Sports just up the road.

Finally had a nice day and the time to dip the wheels. Deleting other chrome is a work in progress. I'm including a crappy pic that I'm justifying using because my 4Runner now has a look shared by many others on here. But it's unique around where I live, so I got that going for me. I also...
