    5th Gen Limited - Replace XREAS with Bilstein 4600 or 5100

    Does anyone have a parts list for the Billstein 4600? I have a shop to do the swap on my 2011 Limited but I need to provide the parts and curious if there is a kit or summary anywhere of what is needed if replacing front and rear but not replacing any springs.

    Hi, not going to tackle this on my own but have a shop that will do the swap for me, I just need to provide the parts. Does anyone have a link for the parts needed for front and rear to do the 4600's?

    Just getting back into this, not sure where the time went. So, take out the old XREAS stuff, don't need to worry about the lines, etc. So if I do Bilstein's, 5100 or 4600, that's all that would be needed, is that accurate? I can just replace the 4 shocks but don't need to worry about springs...

    Runner Cranks but Won't Start and I get a NOISE from engine block?

    So, it was out of gas. No idea how my wife got it home last night without it limping through our neighborhood. I put 3 gallons of gas in on the driveway and it started right up. Drove to the gas station and put in 19.87 gallons. Thanks for pointing out the obvious a couple of times, I must...

    Man, I hope I don't have to deal with that on my 5th gen also. I ran my 3rd Gen for years using the ScanGuage II as my fuel gauge.

    Runner Cranks but Won't Start and I get a NOISE from engine block?

    Waiting for a friend to drop off an OBD scanner to check for codes but I used some starting fluid (brake cleaner) and did a 1 second spray in the intake and the engine finally turned over then stalled out. So that sounds like a fuel issue? Any recos on where to start...Fuel Pump Relay or could...

    Yes, I have gas...not a full tank but I'm above the E line. I don't know what a bad starter in a 5th get sounds like but there is no clicking like I got in my 3rd gen. It really sounds like it's not getting gas or air but all looks good. No CEL but then again it will only get to the point...

    I have a smart key for mine. That video was from a Tundra forum but that top video is the sound I was getting after my 4Runner tried and failed to start. The sound is basically stand-alone after the engine is turned off.

    Hi, my 2011 Limited has about 150k miles on it an we've not had any issues since we got in in 2017 with 85k miles on it. Been running great lately. Went to start it this morning and it's cranking (radio works/dash lights/etc.) but won't start. I tried it a few times and on one of the starts I...

    I’m happy with the stock height. I put in some Firestone airbags to help with the rear springs when towing but overall happy with stock. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I’m in my second set of Duelers and will get new tires next summer, was targeting Michelin Defenders. So are shocks enough? Sounds like the reco is to do new springs also? This is basically an everyday driver and we tow a popup 3 times a year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Our 2011 Limited, especially after the last couple of years towing a popup, drives like boat and is starting to feel unsafe at highway speeds when it begins bobbing up and down. All I seem to read about are Bilstein 5100's, Kings and take offs (??) but I'm curious what to expect if I just go to...

    Oil filter color change?

    Hi, I have a 2011 Limited and I’ve always gotten paper filters for oil changes off of Amazon. The one I got today however is the first one I’ve ever seen that is orange, so curious if Toyota changed the color of these or if I had someone do the old switcheroo? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone...
