    4th Gen Build Thread Directory

    Been a couple years since I've taken her off road. Finally got a good battery, and looking forward to getting her back on the trails. Old pic, but hoping to get get out on some trails and camping with my boys soon.

    Cam Bolts and Whiteline LCA Bushing Excessive Play Help

    I mentioned this in FB but I'll mention it here to help the info get out. I had trouble replacing my rear lower control arm bolt with a longer bolt after welding on Eimkeith's LLS kit. The bolt is a M14 bolt, and I bought a new M14 bolt. I went to slide it through the mount holes and the...

    Those thinking about a Daystar lift with XREAS - My thoughts and install experience

    Hey sorry it took so long to respond. I swapped ucas when I bout them for my 4th Gen too. Honestly, I don't remember the timeline, but it was after the initial spacer install. For the sliders, I bent the lines away from the frame rail just enough to slide the mounts behind them. Obviously be...

    Limited Edition Mod Thread

    Ordered the dobinsons 2.5/2 comfort lift. Should maintain the factory rake and then level out with a loaded trunk. We'll see, but rear springs are an easy swap if necessary.

    Thanks man! Still got a long way to go, but I think I'm getting the lift this weekend on sale.

    Our '15 got totaled out, so we have to start over :( 285s with no lift. Surprisingly, it only rubs the front of the fender liner in reverse at full lock. 33's should have come stock -- looks so much beefier!

    5th Gen For Sale/Wanted Thread

    Man, I wish you weren't in CA. Just for kicks, what would it cost to ship to 21770? My wifes '15 had a front end swap on it, but she totaled it and now I've been searching for a good deal. I will never be able to match the deal I got on the first one...

    Common Broken Parts During Trips

    I ran Red Clay Rally and brought a tool set, spare axle, belt, tie rod and a qt of oil and diff fluid. I have a crappy compressor in my engine compartment always. We (not me) ended up needing the axle and it was great that we were prepared! Definitely didn't want to over pack though.

    Looking for bumper Looking for anyone near the MD VA or PA that's got a stock bumper setup (crash bar etc) for a SR5 or Trail/trd off road. Preferably Black. Hoping to swap out my wife's LE front end. That was the biggest bummer of her 2015 getting totaled -- we lost the swap!

    Honestly, at 130k I'd probably just swap out the suspension. If you want to keep it on a budget, you can do 5100s and set them on the 2.5 inch perch and either buy a new rear coil or just get the rear spacers.

    What about the needle bearing? Check for play on your driver's side inner CV.

    Trail swapping CV axles?!?

    First, I've never done it on the trails. That being said, with the exception of my breaker bar, torque wrench and "special tool" to help tap out the axle, and of course the axle itself, I can bring everything needed in my tool bag which is probably 12x12X10. The other stuff can easily fit in...

    How much are people paying for the NEW 4Runner?

    Unfortunately our 5th gen was just totaled so we've been shopping. In a testament to these trucks value retention, our insurance is paying out 26k to us (still had a little left on the loan) and the truck is 4 years old with 99k miles. In their appraisal, if we had a normal 65k on it, they would...
