    Anyone running seat jackers ?

    Just installed a pair of these today. Just did the fronts of the driver seat. First impression was Wow, but I need to put a few miles on them to know for sure. Product was high quality and instructions were good. I strongly recommend to follow the instructions closely. I tried to take a...

    Desert Does It Seat Jackers

    I was wondering if anybody had some feedback on these (or a similar product)? They basically just raised the front of the seat up. It is supposed to reduce pain and fatigue due to the poor long distance comfort of the seats. I have a fourth generation but would be interested in feedback from...

    Will I Damage Anything Driving on Failed Rear Air Suspension?

    I had my XReas replaced with Bilstein 5100's about 4 years ago. Good decision. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

    Do you still have the original radiator on your 4runner

    Boognish - I see it looks like you live in the Portland area? Back when I had the external transmission cooler installed I lived in Vancouver Washington. Cottman Transmissions in Vancouver did the work. They did a very good job at a very reasonable price. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

    Loose steering at highway speeds?

    4. I took it back to have it re-aligned. That dramatically improved the highway manners. My final alignment specifications are attached. I still have maybe 1 in of dead space in steering wheel. I am thinking steering rack bushings but the mechanic says they aren't needed. All the work that...

    Loose steering at highway speeds?

    Ok. I went ahead and had a bunch of work done at 3 different shops in hopes to eliminating "dartiness" and wandering at highway speeds. 1. Bilsteins 5100 's all around and said add .85 on the front end. Results - improved about 50%. 2. Add power steering fluid flushed and replaced. It was...

    which wheels do you like out of these?

    I'm not a big fan of black wheels but on Silver 4Runners the black TRD Wheels look best to me. On white 4Runners I think the gunmetal look best. But looking at the white 4Runner above... those black ones look pretty sharp too. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

    Do you still have the original radiator on your 4runner

    Suggest you seriously consider having a reputable transmission shop do what is suggested in post 12, 45 & 49. Bypass the radiator altogether by adding an external trans cooler. Simple. This removes any chance of a pink milkshake with any future replacement radiator as well. My cost was...

    Loose steering at highway speeds?

    Could be several things. Has it ever had any front-end work done to it yet? I have a 2005 that I have a similar issue. I just bought Bilstein 5100s. That helped but I suspect there are some worn out Parts in the front end that need replacing. With 166000 miles I consider it a maintenance item...

    What inpired you to buy a Runner?

    My brother bought six brand new 4Runners before me. He never kept them longer than 4 years. He missed out on their best feature...reliability. I bought my first one new in 2000. Kept it for 16 years (225,000 miles). Bought my second new one in 2005. I have had it 13 years and 166,000 miles...

    Exactly what I did to my 2000 V6 SR5 too. Cheap insurance. Had my local shop do it for under $300. Had it done at about 90,000 miles and no problems ..sold it at 225,000 miles. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
