The adjustable coilovers will allow for adjustment of ride quality and lift height. Adjusting to add lift height essentially adds pre-load to your coils, and will probably reduce ride quality. I would recommend getting the coilover / spring combo that most closely matches your weight support...

Sounds like it's the wheel to me based on your troubleshooting. Obviously, swapping tires on wheels as part of the rotation process in order to always keep that wheel in back will get expensive. If the dealership or someone else doesn't have the means to check the wheel for defects and replace...

I needed a Road Force Balance Hi Everyone, I don't have the solution to this problem for everyone, but I wanted to relay my experience in case it's useful: I have a lifted 2015 SR5. I bought some new Dean Backcountry SQ4 AT tires (275/70/17). Got them mounted on my stock SR5 wheels at my local...

The brackets I ordered from TNUTZ ( (JP-010-F) 10 Series 6 Hole Joining Plate | TNUTZ ) come with the option to include hardware for a little more money. I went with the 1/4 20 x 1/2" stainless button head screw & (6) economy t-nuts option. They don't seat tight inside the rail from top to...

This is a great thread. I ended up going through TNutz for all parts except the 1/4 20 screws (home depot) I used to mount the brackets to the cross bars. In total, I decided to go with 5 cross bars. 3 by 3" wide and 2 x 2" wide. TNutz allows you to specify the exact length you want. I went with...

Hey 4Rcrusing, what's the exact length you have these rack bars cut to, and where did you get the brackets you mounted them with to the roof rails? Thanks!

Hi Rig and anyone else that may have some insight. I have the same problem where the AC light turns on for a few seconds and then turns off. I tried the battery negative disconnect for four hours, and things appeared to reset with my 4runner, but the AC light is doing the same thing still. The...

I don’t have a Twitter account, but this may have to be a reason to get one. I appreciate the input.

My other car's a '87 jeep comanche I picked up from a neighbor a few years ago. So, I've got a $30k vehicle and a $3k vehicle. It's an impossible answer when someone asks me "which one do you love more?" Kind of like children in that sense. I put some bucket seats in the bed of the MJ, so that...

I ordered 4 lug centric wheel adapters that changed the stud pattern from the standard 4runner 6x139.7 lug pattern to 6x135 in order to mount 6x135 wheels on my 4runner. I received the wheel adapters in February and mounted them with my new wheels at the end of February. After mounting them, I...

Steps and pics to replace the Crankshaft Position Sensor Hi Dudes and Gals, May as well give the details of the replacement in case it helps someone else. The sensor is mounted on the passenger's side of the AC compressor and completely inaccessible until the AC compressor is unbolted and...

Thanks, Delloro and Jetboy. I'll take an in-depth look tonight.

Hi! I have P0335 check engine error code, and I can’t find the crankshaft position sensor for the life of me. Does anyone have a diagram or photo of where it is on my 2015 sr5? I’ve searched google and can’t find anything definitive. Thanks!

winch used Hopefully, I don't get too much flack for admitting this, but I was on a tight budget and bought a generic winch off ebay for $270. Seems to work well thus far. No issues with the remote, and I was able to pull a truck up my inclined driveway with it without issue. Easy install and...

Painted the black grill silver Used some perfect match silver spray paint. Don't know if it's a "perfect" match, but it's the same paint I used on the artec bumper, so it all blends together nicely.
