Damn, you guys are harsh. Nice video. I have the Depo tails with LED turns and it's almost comical how bright they are. Lights up the whole front of my neighbors house when I unlock the doors.

I have a similar front end clunk. Be sure the rubber bushing directly below the top center strut nut and washer is installed...because whoever installed mine didn't..

Forgive the strange question. Bought my 17 ORP already lifted. Measurements are from center hub to fender. I plan on upgrading soon and I might try to drop the rear a bit so it's level. Thanks for any help.

Bought my 17 ORP with KDSS and it already had a lift installed. Currently have C4 UCAs w/6112 front with 700lb springs. 5100 Rear with Dobinsons springs. Keep in mind I have never driven a stock 4r so I dont have much to compare it to. As it sits the ride feels a bit stiff. Theres very little...

So stock is around 20"?

Did you even read my post?

Sorry if this is common knowledge but when I bought my 17 ORP w/KDSS it was already lifted. Im trying to figure out how much my FRONT is actually lifted vs stock. The rear has Dobinsons C59-725 KDSS springs and 5100's. Front is 6112 with Eibach 700lb springs. My 4R has the factory rake look...

Im not sure of your system configuration, but if you are using passive crossovers with the mid and tweeter then you wont be able to properly align and EQ the drivers separately. This is only possible with an all active setup. Meaning each speaker has its own channel on the amp. Using passive...

I have a 17 ORP and I usually leave it 3 clicks above MAX. It always starts in recirc mode. Weird.

Only reason I ask this is because my 4R came with an aftermarket HU. I wasnt sure if it was an option within the original HU to change this. This is the first vehicle Ive owned that starts in Recirculation Mode by default. Sorry for the dumb weird question.

As a car audio guy this Sony unit confuses me... It can play Hi-Res audio and Im sure thats great and all, but wheres the proper processing to actually make it sound good in a vehicle? Independent speaker EQ, crossovers, time alignment, etc will all make a MUCH larger improvement to sound...

Seems like you have a good plan in mind, but I dont think you will get the results you are looking for. By simply upgrading the speakers, you wont get much improvement. Stock speakers are designed to work well with the relatively low power output of the stock head unit. Speakers have...

I think Associated did a great job. It even has IFS which most RC crawlers dont. I really want one but money needs to go into the real thing first lol.

Well this is my first SUV. Last car was a 13 SRT8 Charger and Im pretty impressed with how the 4r handles for a tall big SUV. Like I said my only "issue" is it does ride rough sometimes. I dont think I can tune the 6112s but I could be wrong. Would you say going with a 600lb spring (from the...

About 23" from center cap to bottom of fender. Not sure what stock front height is. I also have these in the rear which gives about 2.25" lift. Dobinsons Rear Offset Height KDSS Coil Springs for Toyota 4Runner and – Dobinsons Direct
