Did you do Eibach's on both the front and rear? - also what shocks are you running?

I can only assume that they weren't installed correctly. I had put on daystar spacers on my 4th generation myself, drove it for a year and then the local Toyota dealership certified it after I traded it in.

About a week ago I had 4wheel parts install a set of Bilstein 5100s front and rear with an additional 10 mm Old Man Emu trim packer on each rear OME150PR10. The truck drove great however yesterday I made a right turn in my neighborhood and heard a spring make a popping sound. When I got home I...

Bilstein 5100 .85" front OME 10mm Rear Here's my rig after a .85" (second notch) front and adding 10 mm Old Man Emu "trim packers" on the rears with factory springs. I wish I would have done this years ago! Front suspension factory "feel" has not been compromised. I was nervous about this after...

Engine cover/cupholders for a six-pack while in party mode

I was told that there will be no TE available to Midwest Distributors by Elmhurst Toyota near Chicago, IL. I went for an oil change and asked if they had a TE available. One of their reps told me that the distributors for the Midwest region are only going to get Sr5's and Limiteds - No TE...

Here's another new pic out this morning:

kylebacc - what you are proposing is probably not impossible, but it may not be practical as a DIY project. There is a separate computer for the 4wd system, and who knows if it will work with a RWD truck's other control systems without reprogramming (may not be 'plug and play'). If you pull off...

Looks awesome. That's the lift I would have gone but am on the fence about switching up to the 5th gen. (and didn't want to invest too much in a lift). I had an OME lift on my Range Rover Classic and it was bullet proof.

Yes. I had the identical issue with castor. Also, the steering wheel was not 100% dead-on center when they were finished. I chalked it up to my dealership being incompetent. The good news is that I have had no issues and the tire wear should be normal. I think the dealership should disclose that...

It's to the right of the driver's cupholder, no? Iron Clad Lou: I hate you. Now I may actually have to go out and get one of these!

Wow - these pics look a lot better. But I'm still not 100% sold on: - lack of projector headlights - lack of LED tail lights - mast antennae - lack of ground clearance - protruding tail lights and front turn signals - 20" rims seems odd and expensive to replace tires But it's growing on me...

It was in the $130-$140 range from the Toyota dealer. I used a ratchet, and basically just laid on my back under the truck using my legs to hold up one end of the hitch until I got a couple of the bolts in. I was very easy. No cutting on my 2006 bumper. The Toyota hitch has survived a couple of...

I bought the tow hitch from Toyota and installed it my self. There is no cutting involved and only 6 bolts to turn.

I hope it looks better in person. The interior looks okay but on the cheap side. The back end looks decent. I don't like the short hood, front fenders, or upright windshield. It looks like a Scion Xb and Rav4 had a love child.
