The second time the passenger side seized up, the compressor sensor continued to call for air which pushed the back end all the way up. The force bent that arm of the sensor so now passenger side was reading the "normal" position at max level and the driver side was reading the "normal" level...

I dealt with this for a couple of years and finally dumped the system once I decided to go with a lift. The main issue I experienced was the sensor arm that can be seen in 03500610.pdf seizing up and not being able to freely rotate. In winter months, it became regular monthly maintenance to...

throw my name down for the 03-04 buy. Thx

A Vizsla puppy? Oh, you are in trouble if this is your first V! :pop2:

I did the SAWs and I like the ride, mind you I had RAS prior to install. With the SAWs the rear is now sitting at 37.75" on stock 265/65/17s and 23" to center of hub. I did ICON 2.5 extended travel up front and they setup between 2.25" to 2.5" which left the truck with about 3/4" of rake. As...

Thx for the advice Lost4R... and thx for looking out of a fellow goldie :p

Got my "Swap meet" lift installed.

So after 3 months of research, scavenging for parts for the right price based upon what I wanted, I have finally installed the "new to me" suspension. It is quite the swap meet of parts, but the lift I wanted is there and the ride performance is maintained if not improved. 03' Limited V8: old...

40K on the entire RAS or just the airbags? The airbags might not be worth much, but if there's only 40k on the entire RAS system, as paraordnance stated, the height control sensors (if still operating properly) could be worth some value to those who still have their system. My RAS now has 320K...

Thanks again ASR. I did a little more digging on this issue and made a few calls and here is what I have come up with on the Icons compatibility: SKU#58630 - 2.5" Regular Travel 05-15 TACO 03-09 4runner SKU#58635 - 2.5" Exetended Travel 05-15 TACO 03-09 4Runner SKU#58640 - 2.5" Regular...

ASR, wondering if you can help. Icon extended travel for '05 Taco on a 4th Gen 4Runner? Sku's are slightly different on Icon's website, but MetalTech and a few others use the same SKU's. (58635)

Thx ASR. I'm leaning towards going with the SAW rear coils w/1.5" and a Bilstein 6112/5160 setup, or a Fox 2.5/2.0 front/rear setup. Pulling the trigger on one or the other has been a painful process.

I've ran my 03 V8 limited stock for years and now its time to ditch the RAS and XReas. I've ordered the gx470 RAS conversion kit from metaltech, but before I order coils and shocks, I was wondering for those who have experience with this kit, is there any limitations/concerns when pairing it...

There's a dual mechanism in the auto trunk latch. One to draw it in, and the other to hold it shut. Mine did the opposite of yours where the locking mechanism would no longer hold it shut. On my '03, the seal between the gate and the plastic latch cover had deteriorated and water/dirt was...
