This is a pretty tame setup compared to most on this thread, but I am very happy with results so far! Have only had the T4R since the end of September, and I have switched from XREAS to Bilstein 5100s all the way around with front at .085. Stock coils... hope to do FJ upgrade or similar...

I just did my driver side CV axle for the first time ever about a month ago. Found some great threads on this forum. Read through this one. This page helped a ton! Brought the laptop out with me so I could watch the video. Its an FJ, but basically its the same. I used a pry bar to get it out...

I may have missed this, but can the Quickset pull the TPMS sensor IDS that are already existing in the ECU? I know I would need to get the numbers for my snow tires that are new and manually enter those. Also, with free shipping, it looks like Tire Rack has an awesome deal going. These things...

I would agree with everything in horsey's post! I just installed Slyfox75's kit last week on our 06 with under 61k on it. We have only had the truck since September; no lights, but with the age I decided to hopefully nip this problem before it ever occurs! slyfox75 was extremely helpful with...

I am in search of a spare to run with my winter setup. I would like to find a wheel and tire together if possible, and I am searching specifically for a 265/70R17 6x5.5 setup. It doesn't have to be pretty, just something that will reliably hold air to use as a spare. I am located in...

Yeah... I really can't figure it out. To do ALL of that just to put some weird sealant on there. After doing the work myself, I can't imagine going through all of that and not just put a new seal in there! Maybe they didn't know about replacing the seal??? And thank you. I was pretty sure the...

Thanks to this awesome thread I was able to complete my driver's side CV drive shaft tonight. It had been leaking from the oil seal at the diff. I only had the truck for a little over 2 weeks, so I am working through some things I missed when buying it (leaking xreas, and bad diff seal)... and...

Hi everyone, This thread is great, and has inspired me to replace my driver side CV driveshaft. I plan to do the passenger another time, but hopefully soon. Anyway, to me it looks like some of you are finding reman shafts from Toyota dealerships. Is this correct? I can't locate one at any...

Thanks to the info on this forum I just ripped out my xreas and put in Bilstein 5100s all the way around. I just did this less than a week ago. My new to me 2006 had two leaky front xreas shocks. I got the Bilsteins online for less than $350 shipped (or something like that). I had no prior...

Your welcome. PM sent. I just replaced mine on Thursday of last week. Only have had the truck for a little over two weeks.

I was pretty much in the same boat as you. I am in MPLS and started to attempt the install of the 5100s on my new to me 2006 t4r. After researching on here i got the truck up in the air one night and backed out. Next morning called a couple 4x4 shops, but no luck on an affordable price or using...

Thanks for the vote of confidence! I have been flip flopping back and forth debating on if I want to try it. My biggest issue is I have zero suspension work experience and it would all be done late in the evenings with our schedule how it is. I am not worried about damaging the xreas but I am...

Hi all, I have a set up Bilstein 5100s set to be delivered today. I have a shop I really trust and like, but they are not familiar with Xreas. I am planning to swap out the system and put the Bilsteins all the way around with the stock coils. Planning to run #2 on the front. In the future I...

Hi everyone, I have been searching through these pages for about 3 days now, and have really done nothing but make myself nervous about other potential problems! LOL. Late last week I picked up my first 4Runner since I had my '88. It is a 2006 Sports Edition V8. I apologize if I am missing a...

My 88 has a new home... but she went to a good home. I miss it already. Time to start obsessing about getting the next one.
