That’s a great explanation and I don’t disagree at all.

The 5100s provide a max of 2.5" lift, but they can definitely accommodate at least 3" of lift. One example: the Toytec Ultimate coilovers use 5100s and are 3" lift. I believe many people use these shocks with 3" lifts with no problem. But will definitely make it have less droop and the shock...

Agreed.....great explanation. My hunch/belief is that there is no reason you can't use a lift coil in combination with a higher spring perch. New UCAs, diff drop, etc would be a must, and your droop would be reduced. You might also need new lower bump-stops to keep the shock from...

I see you've been working on your hand lettering skills! Mrs. K would be happy to see that.

Those Big Bend pics are awesome, man! I've never been either and I talk about wanting to go every year but never go through with it. How was the weather out there this time of year? Did y'all camp out? The 4runner looks awesome out there on the trails as well. You're probably getting used to...

cruise control My #1 complaint with my 2002 is the ridiculous amount of down shifting it does in cruise control. If i control the throttle myself i hardly ever need it to downshift for gentle hills, but the cruise seems to think i need it on every one of them. Its gotten close to red lining a...

When do those sliders come in? Can't wait to see those.

Looks really good, man. Did you measure to see how much actual lift you got? I've always been a fan of a little bit of rake so i think it looks really sweet. And the tires are a great size. How do the Billy's feel compared to the stock shocks?

Shoulda got the Coopers, man! ha....excited about this new thread. You need to get a new lens or 2 to go with this so you can take some super sweet photos on your trips.

Heat Gun I saw this a while back and always wanted to see if it worked. But i don't have a car with plastic panels to try it on. Might be worth doing on a test area. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQs2ik1dzzE

Man! I really wish you'd wait about 2 months to sell. Bad timing....I'm actually about to sell my house and will be buying my 4th gen afterwards. Anyway....good luck with the new home!

Please read the first post in this thread. Page 1, Post 1. All the info you need is there. That's why this thread exists.

As always, this one looks really nice, man. The stance is pretty close to perfect in my opinion. I also plan to move up to a 4th gen in the next few months. A good 4x4 with low miles is hard to find in my area. I'm always looking online. Do you mind letting us know how/where you found this one...

Cooper STT Maxx I dont have real world experience with them YET, but this is what I will be getting when the time comes: https://www.treaddepot.com/#!productDetail/tireStandardFitment/90000019975 I have had the Hankooks and now have the Cooper ATPs. I like the ATPs better between the 2. I'm...

Yeah, for sure, but the problem I had is that the 2wd 4runners don't come with greasable u-joints (no zerks) for some weird reason. I replaced mine with Moogs that come with zerks.
