    2008 emergency brake blew up

    I'm feeling your pain right now because I just blew up these small fragile parts while taking off my rear rotor. I know I should've adjusted the brake, I did on the other rotor but this was was spinning with no resistance before I started to pound the rotor off. Once I started and the rotor...

    new ebc rotors, is it defective?

    Ordered new ebc sport rotors. The front passenger side has an odd groove on the side. Is this a defective rotor? None of the others have this. Seems like it will be unbalanced. Ps, sorry for reposting this. Just in a hurry to get a response because it has brought work to a standstill and...

    is this a defective rotor

    I ordered new ebc brake rotors. I just noticed this groove in the top of one. The other doesn't have it. Are they supposed to be like this?

    How To: Upgrading to Sport Brakes (319 to 338mm)

    My 2008 UrbanRunner has two tone leather/alcantara seats from the factory. Question is what rotors and calipers do I have. It has limited wheels with the Xreas suspension. I assume I have the sport model brakes, going to check now. 17 on the back of the calipers. I could barely make it out...

    Clear Coat Restoration Test

    I feel dumb asking this question but does my black 08 Urbanrunner have clear coat. I would've said yes before reading this thread but you guys have me second guessing myself. If the 08 white UR has clear but otherwise whites do not, does the same go for the black UR?

    What about a Daystar 1" front and 1.5" Rear?

    Nice thread and nice 4runner. Ive also got the daystar 1" spacer in front and 1.5" in the rear. Id like to add fj coils to the front to eliminate a little of the rake but doubt I ever will, too much of a PITA with XREAS. Hopefully im finished messing with the suspension until the XREAS dies...

    What did you do with your 4runner today?

    Installed spidertrax wheel spacers and drove around town a bit. I didn't detect any problems. My wife however moved it about 30 feet and complained about brakes grinding. It sounded like she may have been describing the traction control. I went out drove it around the block and again no...

    Gen4 owner considering other SUVs next

    I love the Alcantara and leather seats in my urbanrunner. This time of year I do find my self wishing it had remote start and heated seats.

    Winter wheels and tires on Craigslist. Your thoughts?

    I'd like to have these wheels and tires but can't quite talk myself into buying them. What are your opinions? I currently have BFG radial long trails that unfortunately were new when I bought my 4runner. They have about 90% tread left. Id like to replace them with more aggressive looking ATs...

    Blemished SpiderTrax In-Stock

    I just ordered cosmetically blemished spidertrax wheel spacers from their website. as of 1730 hours on 1/12 they had 30 pairs left. They're 89.99 as opposed to 99.99. So 2 pair saves $20 which is almost exactly what it cost to have them shipped.

    Xreas question

    Sprblkxx, its awesome to see a shop owner taking care of a customer like you are doing. Where's your shop? If you're anywhere near me, I'll gladly bring you my vehicles. It's a shame your customer didn't know a little more about the work he was having done. I had spacers installed on my 08...

    tire help with spidertrax

    I'm in the same boat. 2/1.5 lift and can't wait to get spidertrax and some ATs installed. I know I've seen all the info on compatible tire sizes before, I just have to find the time to locate it again. In the meantime Ill be watching this.

    Tires - Highway or AT ?

    I can't wait to get a set of AT's on my 4Runner now that I got it lifted. This thread however is really making me miss the Mich LTX M/S 2s that I had on my Z71 Colorado. Hands down the best tires that I've ever owned. When I replaced the stock General brand tires with these, it felt like a...

    Lift and Tire Central (pics)... Post 'em Up!

    Stock size tires, newly put on by the dealer when they took it in at the end of a lease. Took another pic with the 4runner in the same place for a better comparison. Unfortunately it was getting dark. Black on black on black makes it hard to see the difference.
