When you get your old shocks out, look into the bottom side of the frame, where the shock will mount. You will see a tiny cutout where that tab will fit into. Also, reuse you top bushing from your old rear shocks. Old bushing top, new bushing (w/tab) bottom. I ran into the same thing when...

We have a "visual" inspection as well. They check for cats and window tint. But the small mom and pop shops don't worry about it.

Thanks. That's the look I'm going for at the moment. Windows are darker than the limit. It's worth it for the heat savings (ceramic) and also the look.

Week 4 Mod -Roof Rack Nothing big this week. I pulled the roof rack, sanded with some 220 grit, cleaned, and let her rip. I used Rustoleum 2-in-1 Primer Paint in matte black. Matches really well, dried fast, and went on smoothly. Lesson Learned: It was a good day. Prepped, cleaned, and all...

Week 3 Mods -Lighting After trudging through countless threads, the same names continued to persist. I went with the Xenon Depot HID kit. Phillips 4300K bulbs. There was a sale going, so picking up a set on XD Led fog bulbs was an easy choice. Additionally, I wanted to install a light bar...

Week 2 Mods -Suspension -Tint Snatched up one of the FJ 6112/5160 Kits. As my thread title indicates, this is an education in offroading. I wanted subtle. After all, the truck only had 500 miles! I wanted a slightly better look, but also some better on and offroad manners. As for the tint...

Week 1 Mods -Blackout Valences -TRD Pro Grille -Removed NFab Steps Started with the simple easy stuff. Subtle changes in the right direction. Lesson learned: Don't drop the plastic clips from the radiator cover, and subsequently have to fish them out from your skid plate

I have recently joined the 4Runner world. No old T4R that i eventually put out to pasture and now a new one. Just simple evaluation of wants, needs practicality, and fun. Let's go back a bit first. After daily driving a Mustang 5.0 for years, I needed a new daily. My parents bought new...

Hmmm. I like. I'm trying to envision how your 7/8 rack plus your lightbar mount would look and function.

jafrush in the 7/8 rack configuration, would moon roof operation still be possible? Not just venting, but fully opened.

No. This kit only has 2 clip positions. Use the top clip on the driver's side, and lower clip on the passenger side. This will account for the lean.

It's just a level...for now.:cool:

This thread is the reason I bought a white T4R. Veet Skeet, that is beautiful!!

Yes.

Hids, Led Fogs, and a cheapo Led bar behind the grille.
