Sorry if this is a repeat but I couldn’t find another thread about this. I’m thinking about swapping my 2011 front end to a 2014 or higher front end so I can install a Southern Style Offroad bumper with wings. I love that bumper and the clearance it gives plus the aggressive look is amazing...

I've had my Toy Tec Boss Coil Overs for about 4 years now. I decided to upgrade my tire size to 285/75/17s and to level out the front end of my rig a bit more for clearance. After doing so I ended up with a very bouncy front end. When the front end was about 1/4" lower it was nice and smooth. Is...

Hi, I'm looking for a Gobi Stealth Rack for my 5th Gen 2011 4Runner. Rather save the money and buy it used. Let me know and thanks! (714) 604 5538 Jim

Working on the front coils and decided to take off my front valence. I wan to take this plastic piece off that pops down but it looks like it’s protecting a vent beneath it. Can anyone let me know if I’ll have a problem if I took it off and what that vent is for? If I bought a Shrock bumper it...

Just bought an Andersen Drop hitch and the hitch was incredibly tight sliding into the hitch receiver. It was so tight that my friend and I had to use a 4" X 4" board with a sledge hammer to bang the hitch into the receiver! I've never had this problem ever in my entire life or heard of...

Nope not new. Been on this site for about 3 years now. I should really go on more often but I'm always swamped with family :)

What detachable mirrors do you prefer? I'm looking for something of high quality. Thanks!

Problem Averted Houston, we do not have a problem! Got things fixed. Turns out the spacers and blocks fell out of the box and no one noticed since they were in my cargo hold. Everything is installed and no more squeak. The sway bar was rubbing up against the coil. Thanks for the help guys! I...

It Was The Sway Bar! Hey guys, I took it back to Sears and my buddy checked it out. It really is the sway bar rubbing up against the coil every so slightly. Where can I get these bushings and or a new sway bar to extend it away from the coil? Is it going to be extensive on labor to put in...

My buddy works at that shop so he gives me a fat discount and they have a couple of techs that really know off-road stuff from taking with them. The sound actually sounds like it is coming from the UCAs. Does anyone know if that sounds like it could be the issue? Maybe bad bushings?

I did not. I was also told that they would clank because of no rubber spacer on the shock at Sears Auto. That sounded odd to me.

Bought these and put them on. They squeak a little. Is that supposed to happen and how could I fix that?

PS. my truck in the pic I posted above is sitting in the slightest dip on the rear wheels. I was in a rush so I'll take better pics down the road.

Not sure exactly what my take is now. I need to go measure and do the math. However I made sure to level out the roof rack literally with a leve with the new adjustable coils. There may be no take left but if you look at how the vehicle was built from back window bottom line to front window you...

Looks like a beast dude! That's some serious clearance!
