Ko2’s Keeping the thread alive, I say KO2’s all the way. That being said I’m running a pair of Wild Peaks now cause I got a good deal on them. Ko2’s are awesome in the sand and the snow

2022 complete brake failure After a long break. Here to write more about my 2003 4Runner Limited V8 4WD. A few months ago my brakes went out. Had the full dash light up. Abs vsc trac control light up and the death tone constant beep. Thankfully it was night so no traffic. I was able to...

The full write up with good explanation will come later. In short the task of pulling out the old failed airbags was challenging as accessing the small metal clip that hold them in place was not easy to access. As far as install my method was different from those I previously read about but...

I’ve read countless write ups on swaps and conversions for 4th gen 4runners swapping from factory rear air bag suspension and the time has come to swap my own. My 2003 Limited V8 currently sits at 190,390K and a week ago my airbags finally failed. The car was rear ended about 2 years ago and I...

Amazing full write up! Again I'm years late to the party with getting the excitement of following this build thread. But all the time and dedication you put into this awesome rig. I'm curious if you know who you sold the vehicle to and what kind of condition its in at this date. But again...

Great write up, sorry I'm years late to the party. So first and foremost I have to say, excellent write up. I've been researching this conversion/swap since I first purchased my 2003 Limited V8. I've been quietly lurking on these pages for years, but todays the day I post and begin my...

Well everything is in. The local shop I went to said it was the most difficult header swap they’ve ever done and that included swaps on multiple GTR Skylines. Took them 7 1/2 hours. Currently don’t have the full setup welded together as I wanted to give it some time to make sure I like the...

Thanks I appreciate that. I peeped on your build page. I’m blown away. Haha so jealous you got 3 badass rigs built the right way. I didn’t get work off haha gotta wait a few more days. And I greatly wanted to tackle the project myself but knowing a guy at a shop that does installs on Toyota’s...

Hawaii is strict with “recon” ie reconstruction that follows a safety check. Basically any modifications done that change the original performance capabilities of a vehicle. They are usually only strict with lift kits that include body lifts. Also having your tires stick out beyond the vehicle...

Finally!!! The studs came Studs finally arrived. Big thanks to Jason B. These studs are damn fine. Called my shop that I’m planning to have install yesterday and they have availability all week. Already tried to get work off tomorrow so can get them done as soon as possible. Premium long...

Thanks man. Yeah had to look last night what SAIP meant. 2003 & 2004 V8 don’t have the secondary air injection pump. Also read a pretty comical conversation some other guys had a while hashing the V6 vs V8 debate. That was posted in 2011. Pretty amazing it’s 2020 and now there’s badass...

I was under the impression that they are for a 2003 V8... Feeling really stupid and frantically reading up on what exactly you are talking about. Will have to take a good look at them tomorrow in the light.

So continuing on this thread. All my parts have arrived. Headers look awesome along with the Y pipe. A while back I ordered the Gibson catback exhaust also from Burtman Industries. Also got the O2 sensor bypass from Jason. X4 Had free time today. Laid out all the parts in the garage to look at...
