I finally installed my KHC replacement assemblies. All-in it was easier than I’d thought, though the bottom bolt it absurdly difficult to remove, and for me impossible to reattach at completion. 3 out of 4 will have to do. Best thing I can say for that is to remove your plastic wheel wells to...

Definitely open to discussing it. I'll send you a PM with my contact info. --Mike

Price dropped to $15,495

https://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/cto/d/2008-toyota-4runner-sr5-lifted/6671543853.html This is probably geared more toward the aspiring enthusiast, than to folks who are already T4R community members, but here's a 4th Gen in awesome shape that's already done, and done well. This truck has been...

I haven't seen many posts here in the last several years from folks installing a TRD-branded cold air intake in their 4th Gen. With Christmas coming up, I'm interested in something slightly superfluous that I wouldn't buy for myself, so the idea of CAI has occurred to me. Does anyone reading...

Bilstein 5100s don’t. Don’t reuse your old bushings. If the new shocks don’t come with them, buy new ones.

I did the Bilstein/FJ Moog lift a couple months ago, only getting around to posting the pictures now. 5100's both front and back, with the fronts set at the full 2.5" Very minor issue with the install, my mechanic was not able to reuse the old bushings and I needed to buy new ones, which I...

These are awesome. Thanks for finally doing these for the 4th Gen community. I'll be ordering mine soon.

His report is that they were badly worn, and/or had to be cut in order to remove. When I told him Bilstein's response that most will reuse the ones that are already on, his reply was something to the effect of "that'd be like taking a shower, and putting your dirty clothes back on after". 90% of...

**UPDATE** Shop is able to reuse washers and sleeves off of existing/OEM, however Bilstein 5100 apparently does not ship upper bushings with the shock absorber assembly, which apparently is a required item. I'm buying 4 upper bushings from Toyota, which should work. Frustrating as I'm out of...

**SHOP EMERGENCY** Bilstein 5100's all-around are being installed at my preferred shop right now, and my mechanic just called me to say the front shocks are missing 4 bushings, 2 washers, and 2 sleeves. Should this hardware have come with the shocks? Are they sold separately? This is my DD and...

Hey Summit- Nice setup. I'm installing the 5100/FJs this week, and think as well that I'll go the full 2.5" in front. I'm assuming you did 5100/FJ in the rear as well? If so, what'd you set that lift at?

So if I get two of these (REAR) https://www.suspensionconnection.com/33-187174-4runner.html ..and two of these (FRONT) https://www.suspensionconnection.com/F4-BE5-C477-T1-4runner.html?gyear=2008&gclid=CIy6uZCi0tMCFYKLswodjMwFzg ...and two of these More Information for MOOG 81081 ...and two of...

Sorry to bump an old thread... I replaced my 2008 SR5's chrome trunk garnish with color-keyed, Shadow Mica garnish today. This, and TREVLOC's thread (http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/80044-trevlocs-thread-2.html#post691329) were very helpful in what's a...
