Shocks are sold. Thanks everyone.

I took it several places yesterday, and UPS was oddly the cheapest, but it's $69 to ship.

I have a new in box Bilstein 5100 system for what I believe is 2010+ model 4runners. These are two ride height adjustable shocks for the front (can be used on factory coils) and two 5100 series rear shock absorbers. Model numbers are shown in picture to verify compatibility, but should fit all...

My wife's 2012 Limited with the XREAS blew the driver side front strut. After a lot of researching and a phone call with Toyota, it seems I'm looking at ~$1000 to replace it and the opposite corner (because apparently that's how it's done on this system). I also know most online have said to rip...

I did a quick search here and found a few threads discussing kayak roof rack mounting solutions, but nothing really solidifies my decision. My wife and I are about to purchase Kayaks (Elie Strait 140XE and 120XE). We are purchasing from a local dealer who specializes in outdoor recreation (want...

My wife and I recently purchased a '12 4runner Limited in BP. It was time for the first wash yesterday, and after reading on here about the opinions on washing, I'm hesitant to use a drive through car wash anymore since I don't want to ruin the finish on this vehicle. We decided to use Meguiars...

Thanks, guys. We're on day 3 with it and loving it. I'll get pictures up in a day or so once the wife is home from work during daylight.

Yes.

Thanks, guys. Invoice is $40,850, so I think it's pretty good. Signing the papers tomorrow morning.

After thoroughly weighing our options and test driving everything from Pathfinders, Armadas, 4runners, and even a Touareg, we've settled on a limited 4runner (wife has loved them since the 5th gens came out). She wants a Blizzard Pearl limited. We got a dealer (not local) to $39,700 + TTL for a...

Definitely something I considered, but I like the fact (since my wife will be driving it the most) that the limited is full-time AWD. Otherwise, I would definitely go the SR5 route and add the necessary accessories. I actually hate the 20s on the limited, and I'm not paying $1700+ for the...

Thanks for the links and the information.

I read a few pages of that thread yesterday (hence the mentioning of the squeaking, the lack of sound proofing in the doors...which is a major complaint of the Tacoma, seat fade, dim dashes, iPod interface problems, etc.). The iPod interface is unfortunate, but my wife will be streaming...

I expected this. I'm on a lot of other forums (Tacomaworld, TTORA, Tundrasolutions, etc.), and I know that my post was very generic, open ended, and noobish. I also know you're probably insinuating that I should search, and while I did (I've actually been on the forums a few days before...

I'm a long time Toyota owner (currently drive an 05 TRD AC Tacoma), and my wife and I are looking to most likely purchase a 5th gen 4runner. After test driving and comparing it to a few other crossovers (the 4runner was the only true SUV we considered) like the Murano, RX350, MKX, etc., this...
