I had a front end crash and I also had to replace everything, which I did myself, I got all used junk yard parts.. ran me about $500. If the alignment is okay - I wouldn't stress too much about the frame. It would be very obvious if it is driving crooked. Rust? LOL - the runner has no rust...

I had a similar issue once - it ended up being a crank position sensor - pulled one off an old runner in the junk yard for $2 - then all was good.

What clear coat did you use, if any? Impressive results! Nice Job.

Do you also have the front Nitros? Could you do a mini review of the Nitros when you have a minute - been thinking about these for a long time. Thnx

I say to include an alternator - I now carry an OEM spare at all times - I had one break down on me while on a 1,000 mile + trip. Ended up getting one at autozone - only for that "new one" to break down on my less than 50 miles later. Went back to OEM - been fine ever since - but now I'm...

They will work. I have a set of 5th gen rear springs plus 1.5” spacers plus the shocks. For the $30 I spent, rides amazing and handles weight very very well as it doesn’t sag much. Not sure why the other poster is so negative about them.

Thank you gentlemen. I am very sad to let a manual go - unfortunately life duties take priority. My other 4Runner auto is so boring by comparison.
