    5th Gen T4R Picture Gallery

    Hey, is there any way you still have the invoice on your 4runner to find out a part number for your step rails? or possible who the manufacturer may be? There was another thread on this in which no one was able to get any info. I called a dealership in them midwest who said they can ship the...

    Copper AT3 cupping

    I called them up and they are very fair. Got a good quote from them, so I think that's who I'll go with.

    Bilstein install

    I know Bohemia. Dad used to work out there. I've always heard there's some wheeling in CT. There is a place called Overland Experts out there and my buddy used to live right next to them. I would see modded trucks all the time.

    Is RMS in Southampton? Me and the lady spend a weekend out in Montauk every year right after labor day. I'm actually from the Island, born and raised in Plainview. Southampton is a lot nicer than Plainview, LOL. Have you heard of Extreme Vehicle Builders in Danbury CT?

    Suspension Guidance

    I'm interested in the same thing, so I ordered up some 5100's and will install soon. I didn't peek if you had a signature, so I assume you don't have KDSS. From what I have heard KDSS takes lessens the body roll and diving under braking.

    Bilstein install

    I'm gonna continue to shop around. Was gonna put them in but I have a 2000 mile trip coming up. No real rush. But checking out a few more places won't hurt.

    Bilstein install

    Holy moly that's a good price for an install with alignment. I couldn't even dream of seeing that price around here in Westchester NY!!

    Bilstein install

    Don't really know my way around a toolbox. Aside from that, with my back and neck problems, it's probably not a safe bet that I even attempt. But when looking at the shocks I was intrigued by the snap ring idea. I know I have read about these things failing, and it seems mostly due to...

    Best place to buy Bilstein 5100's

    I just did, and they are great folks to deal with. I had plenty of questions, and they were more than accommodating, patient and informative. Not to mention the best price I've seen in some time. Great experience. And overnight shipping is very reasonable.

    Bilstein install

    I wish I could help to install with guidance, but injuries prevent that. The higher priced quote was with a full alignment included, but obviously prices vary on region. Super nice facility with a great reputation. The lower quote was more of a walk in type of shop, but some of the guys there...

    Bilstein install

    I've recieved varying quotes for the install of 5100's on my 2014 SR5. Anywhere from 400 to 800 $. $800 seems like quite a bit, is there any reason not to have it done for less from a local shop that seems to have a good reputation? Never been to them before, but online reviews seem good, and...

    Copper AT3 cupping

    I've talked to several shops, and they all point at the same thing, suspension. So the question is how can the suspension on a 2014 be worn to the point of cupping the tires? I had dealership look at the suspension after the winter was over just as a precaution, and they say "all is normal"...

    Copper AT3 cupping

    Curry Toyota in Cortlandt Manor. Near Peekskill. From reading threads I've come to appreciate how dealerships may differ dependent on your region. No dealer in this area that I have been to are familiar with any modifications. I'm glad you chimed in. I was gonna ask you if you know of any...

    Copper AT3 cupping

    I'm running stock SR5 wheels. So 7" wide. I had thought of this as well since Cooper has a range of 7-9.5 in wheel width for the AT3's on their specks. Have been thinking of the FN pro wheels to increase wheel width to 8

    Copper AT3 cupping

    Well, I wish I could say that I trust my local dealership. I'm used to going to the dealership, but it seems that at every corner they are coming up with excuses. I think I have to find another shop that maybe pays more attention to alignment, and not so much to their bottom line. I would...
