Impressive! Sounds similar to my situation. I only did a little over 40k this year though (and that's km's). I loved the 4Runner since childhood, but the resale was a deal breaker for me. Funny I also bought a '12 late in the year for same the same reason. The deal was better and I'll unload...

if Intruder hasn't set them off than I sure as hell won't come close!

Congrats! Smart move with the 17" steelies for winter. I gotta saw they look kinda cool on the white too. I assume you're going with a 265/70/17 tire which is what's on the SR5 and Trail 4Runners. Extremely popular size so options and price shouldn't be bad. Enjoy your new whip!

Bushings is the first thing that came to my mind. I also read on a Ford forum that a guy had a problem with the boots rising up and cause a noise in the winter, but I don't think that's what this is. I'll suck it up and pay the bill, but I'm hoping a couple possible solutions thrown at the...

The recent cold weather and constant snow storms have brought on a new creak in my front end. Here's the history. Installed 5100s in September and have had no prior problems up until this point. Fronts set @ 2.5 and rear has 1.5" Daystar spacers. A few days ago a creak in the front...

Here's my 2 cents. I'm an insurance adjuster in Canada... Familiar with US insurance, but every state has it's different quirks. If you have issues with Third Party Insurer call your own insurer. Liability obviously isn't an issue, or they wouldn't be offering to do repairs. Your insurer...

Thanks for the replies. I'm going to be at the shop with the guy who installed the shocks when he makes the changes. I wanted to get it done while he's away, but I'm just going to wait a couple weeks for him to return. I trust him to do it the quickest (and least expensive) way possible...

This may be a stupid question and I'll be honest I only searched a little, but didn't turn up an answer. Can my 5100s on the front be adjusted from 2.5" to 1.75" without having to remove them from the spring? I know they have to be taken off the truck, but I'm assuming the spring doesn't have...

I like!! Nice set-up :cheers:

It's not an option up here! Not sure if it ever was, but I'm pretty sure we never had it in the 5th gen. I know we never had the 4 banger option.

Do you think they would with a 0 offset and 265s? I've seen pics of 8" wheels with -10 offset and 265s. Seem to fill out the wells nicely.

I was wondering about this the other day. The Konig Six Shooters come in either 8" or 9", but with 0 offset. The 9" would give me the stance I want, but I'm going to wrap them with 265 BFG A/Ts. So this a no go hey? Stick with the 8"?

Scott@Hightech hit the nail on the head... Winter is 6 months of the year up here. Right now people are going crazy because their studded tires aren't on their cars... Roads are covered in snow and ice and by Christmas there will me a snow bank on my lawn big enough that I won't see my...

275/70/17 What tire?
