I have a 2.5" lift and 275/70 Kumho at51's and I really like them so far. Great compromise and easy to fit with the lift.

I've just installed the Eibach pro-lift springs on 5100's and I really like the ride. firm but not harsh or bouncy.

hey Vin. Looking to get a set of F5's in 16x8 for my 01 3rd gen with the larger fender flares. I am going to overhaul my suspension with a mild bilstein/OME lift. I want the wheels to sit flush or slight outside the fender. Would 3.5BS be ok? Anything I need to worry about in regards to fitting...

This story sounds eerily familiar to mine... :( Here is to refreshed 4runners!

Yeah, Im starting to get excited about getting it back with fresh heads. I am just having to sell my 81 yota pickup to pay for it. :( Bummer because I thought I was going to have 2 white toyotas in the family. Anyone wanna buy a 5 speed 2wd '81 sr5? haha.

Sorry Outlaw, its a v-6. I called the shop today that told me it was the headgasket and he said he didnt do a compression/carbon test. He said he noticed water/coolant leaking from the EGR valve and said that was a tell tale sign. I've searched and couldnt come up with anything regarding this...

I am taking it to a shop on Monday and will call around to see who gives me the most for my money. Anyone know of any toyota specialty shops in the Savannah, GA area that...
