Unfortunately, my sunroof drains appeared to be clogged so I tried to open it to clean them out.

My sunroof would not open. Admittedly, I didn't use it for a few years which was a mistake. I got it to tilt up and now it is stuck. Two questions: 1) Is the motor functioning properly in the video? I dropped it from above the sunglass holder. https://imgur.com/a/sunroof-motor-F1PEcrk 2)...

Thanks for the reply! I actually just remembered that I bought one of his kits 2 years ago just in case I would ever need it. It’s in a box in the shed so I’m off to find it.

Friday night I started the engine for the first time in 4 days and there was a loud humming for about 5-10 seconds and then it went off. The dashboard lit up and so got p2440 and p1441. I cleared them and drove it around a bit with no issues. Saturday morning it made the same sound and stopped...

The diode idea is interesting. Any idea why you get an extra volt?

Thanks. The perk to living in the middle of no where is having only one auto store, and it’s O’Reilly’s.

I had to jumpstart my 4Runner so I drove it to O’Reilly’s and they said my battery was good and the voltage regulator failed. I drove home, charged my battery to full, cleaned the terminals that were filthy. This morning it struggled to start but I was able to get back to O’Reilly’s. A...

I just added new suspension. The shocks have about 70k on them. The springs 70k+. I’m not sure how long they were on the FJ for before they were put on my 4Runner. FJ rear and front springs 5100 rear shocks I’m not sure what to ask for the springs so feel free to make an offer if you want...

Installed everything today. I used the school auto shop where I teach and the install was pretty straight forward. But I also had the shop teacher there to help. So far I cruised around on the highway and some dirt roads. The handling is much improved so far. We installed the following...

I like the leveled look but after talking to Mike I decided to leave the rake. I tow frequently and often have a lot of weight in the rear. So if my 4Runner is level it would squat with weight in the rear. If you don’t tow or carry weight often it shouldn’t matter as much if you level the...

Between phone and email I asked Mike a ton of questions. He was very helpful. I never liked the ride with the FJ Springs and 5100's so I'm very hopeful that the Dobinsons kit is much better. I went with 2" front and rear so I'll share some pictures once it is completed.

I crawled underneath today and noticed 2 wet spots. One on the transmission and another behind it. I live on dirt roads so dirt is clumping around the wet spots. Is this a concern? Is it something that should be fixed ASAP? Thank you.

Awesome. Thank you.

If I want it to look level should I go 1.5 in the rear?
