Thanks for all the real data! i appreciate all the members that have given real data and experience! It seems as though the rotor weight is not a significant reduction in mpg. I think that i am going to pull the trigger and do the brake upgrade! Thanks for your help!

interesting. the tundra rotors are heavier and its unsprung weight as well. i believe they are about 6lbs heavier than the 3rd gen 4runner. would that not reduce mpg?

Just curious about gas mileage? This is not my daily driver but just want some input. i have noticed since adding 32 inch LT tires that weigh 50 lbs each that my 4 runner is harder to stop. I was nervous about coming down some long mountain passes where brakes are working hard and having them...

Coilovers Glad to see you are liking the icons! Sorry about the cv's, but if u ever need a hand working on things let me know. Sierra

So i think i have settled on the toytec lift with 906 out back! Stoked! But is there other shiznat thats easy to replace while doing the lift?.... Sway bar bushings, bump stops, tie rods, UCA bushings? I dont mind upgrading stock parts even if they r not worn out so that i dont have to get...

painted it with some wheel paint well to follow up on the thread i just said f@#k it, and painted it today. i really dont like my bumper anyways. the the least amount of time and money into it the better.

She bashed my bumper on a pole in the parking lot! Actually tore off a chunk of the powder coat down to bare metal. Last time she gits to drive it. Anywho, luckily she is ok but now i need to fix it. Should i just spray paint it flat black and b done with it or is there a better way?

Thought it was a great deal. Wish i hadsome money for it! Toyota 4runner SRS Limited 86k miles

Thanks and a few more questions! Soooo when turning the crankbolt do i turn it clockwise when looking at the engine from the outside or clockwise when in the runner? Also my water pump came with the newer metal gasket. Do i still need to use fipg? Thanks again. I am excited/ nervous to do...

Do you just turn the crankbolt to get the 3 timing marks all lined up? This is my first timing belt attempt. Also, i am getting ready to replace my water pump,idlers,timing belt, and was curious does the the crankbolt turn the camshafts as well? And should i get the marks lined up before i...

Icons on my runner The reason i am upgrading is to run them in the desert on washboard at high speeds also utah has alot of sandstone ledges and washes also for a better ride on road over stock. I know that i would be running them only %10-15 off road but when i go off road i want controlled...

Just trying to see how it feels compared to other set ups. Let me know if you might have time available. I live in santa cruz. Drew. 8313311190

Gooseberry! Capitol reef! Moab! Recently i have been hooked on utah! It is a big reason why i bought my 4runner. There is so much to do there. I know it has been said but gooseberry mesa is a sick place for mountain biking and the views are amazing! You get a view of zion in the distance as...
