Considering that you aren't looking to get this to last forever, moog-talls and whatever shock (KYB/Tokiko/etc.) floats your boat at all four corners seems like just the ticket. I did OEM-talls and Bilstein 4600 HDs at all four corners. I am happy with it, but if I only was looking to get 2-3...

I'll be there. Hope some more peeps come on out too - would be cool to meet some other folks and swap stories about how things don't break on our 4Runners :)

Pretty sure I am in for the 22nd.

One of the reasons that I haven't done a retrofit is that I've read of folks getting cited for them. Apparently there is a law that bans them if they weren't original equipment on the model. Didn't seem to matter if it was a good job and didn't blind oncoming cars. Does anyone know if this is...

PM sent. SLC area; up for mild day trips in my mostly stock daily driver.

Lots of options. A couple to consider - ProComp model 8069s. Or look for take-offs from a Tacoma. I got a set of 16" Tacoma alloys with like 4 miles on them for $200.

About two weeks ago I set a personal record for biggest fill-up at 17.1 gallons. Don't advise going that deep though. I was stopped at a light on a fairly steep (@6%) decline and the truck died. I would have thought that the fuel pickup would have been toward the front of the tank, thus making a...

So if you aren't in Boulder, where are you?

Quoting myself quoting someone else...I should mention I was asking about painting my frame. A while back I emailed a rep for POR-15 when I wanted to do this on a different vehicle. The following is what he told me, and what I followed. I used a wire wheel on a grinder to get to bare metal...

If you do go with Toyota Red - make sure you put a label on the overflow tank. Something like "DO NOT FILL WITH ANYTHING BUT TOYOTA LONG LIFE COOLANT / DISTILLED WATER". I took my rig in for an alignment (lifetime alignment at Firestone) and without asking as a courtesy they topped off my...

A while back I emailed a rep for POR-15 when I wanted to do this on a different vehicle. The following is what he told me, and what I followed. I used a wire wheel on a grinder to get to bare metal. Make sure the surface is down to bare metal or rust. Properly, clean and prep the surface with...

Bronze is actually my favorite wheel color, but I am not a fan of it on a white truck with gray interior and accents. If I decide to try the black, I may do it in plasti-dip, although I don't want to have to do this more than once, at least for 3+ years, which is why I was leaning away from the...

Very nice looking; and thanks for the heads-up about the offset being different. I will have to be careful checking fit; I am doing a 1/2 inch body lift shortly, so hopefully with that there are no issues. I guess I always thought that all the Taco/4Runner rims had the same offset, and I...

Those do look good in semi-gloss black. Especially with the red brake calipers.

This is my daily driver, and what I use to go snowboarding. Having said that, I plan on occasionally taking it off-road. Are the Revos that bad? Or just a crappy tread pattern for mud?
