    Nitto Terra Grappler G2 LT265/70R17 – a review in real time

    To 2012sr5, I completely disagree with a lot of what you said. I had Terra Grapplers on a 2006 4R and they were great. Based on your review and some others, I bought the 10ply G2's for my 2018. As soon as I left the tire place I noticed a huge difference. They are heavy! I had to apply...

    $10K Desert Rip-Off Build

    No, installed myself. It's not bad at all. Neighbor helped me. Took my time, about an hour per side in the front since I switched out the top hats. Back was easy too. Took me a little bit to figure out how to orient the reservoir and everything. It's soooo nice working on suspension on a...

    $10K Desert Rip-Off Build

    I ended up going with Right Toyota. 4k under sticker and they were easy to deal with.

    $10K Desert Rip-Off Build

    This post talks all about it. I bought mine on ebay from a Toyota dealer. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/251418-bilstein-trd-pro-suspension-kit-sale-ptr13-35140-a.html

    Put on the N-Fab steps. I don't like how much they seem to compromise ground clearance, but my son and wife actually need the step. Besides, the gas tank and other undercarriage parts sit pretty low.

    Installed the black out kit. I've had plastidip in the past, and I don't like how it looks after a while, so I just bought the kit. I'm leaving the silver badges on the side, I like the contrasting silver colors

    $10K Desert Rip-Off Build

    I installed a pedal commander. Huge difference. Took away the flat mushy pedal that makes these cars feel like a pig. Got it used locally for $200. Well worth it and my mpg's actually went up by a tenth. Front and Rear TRD suspension. This suspension is great! The stock ride felt...

    $10K Desert Rip-Off Build

    So, I just bought a Silver 2018 TRD Off Road. Replaced the 2006 4Runner I've had for the past 10 years. Here in Arizona, the dealers have their own version of a "Desert Off Road" package. At the first dealer it was $7500. Included TRD wheels, Toyo A/T tires, steps, badge black outs and a...

    Brake Problem?

    I've got an 06 SR5 4x4 V6. I've had it for 6 problem free years and it has 99K miles. My wife drives it mostly. Twice in the past 2 weeks, she has said that the vehicle won't stop. Both times, she has been driving at low speeds and slightly turning right. She said that the whole car...

    What did you do with your 4runner today?

    Went to Sedona for Valentine's day with the family. Can't see it in the picture, but there were a ton of huge rocks that I was trying to go over. Started to slip in 4Hi, then shifted to 4Lo and made it right up. Can't believe how much more clearance there is with only a 1" lift in front.

    Sensen shocks and struts

    umm....never mind! I just looked at ebay and they are now $340! Wow! For that price, just buy the bilsteins, I guess. I got the bargain of the year apparently :dance:

    Sensen shocks and struts

    About 2 months ago, I bought Sensen shocks and struts on ebay. They were only $140 shipped, so I gave them a shot. They seem pretty good. I would say that they are an adequate stock replacement. My 06 V6 4x4 has about 80000 miles. The rears didn't seem to make a big difference. The front...
