So I completed a HID retrofit on my 2004 4runner. The shroud I used doesn't touch the reflector housing. I feel like I am getting a lot of glare out of the lights. Is this going to be a problem for me going forward or am I ok to drive around like this?

I did 5100 bilsteins up front and set it to 0.85. Kept the stock springs. I did 4600 Bilsteins in the rear and kept my RAS. All thanks to the information I found on this forum! I saw this as the easiest option at the time. The ride is awesome and I have no regrets. I can upgrade as I go, but...

awesome thanks guys.

I am getting ready to order a Morimoto d2s 4.0 HID kit to do a retrofit. I have a 2004 4runner. When it asks me to pick a the relay harness I don't know which one to use. Am I correct to use the MotoControl Bi-Xenon: H4/9003 harness? Or should I use the HD Relay 9006? I have tried the search...

IF you have RAS and want to keep it you need Bilsteins 4600 HD in the rear. its the same stock length as the XREAS shocks. anything else will stretch the airbags. Go with 5100s in the front to level it out. If you plan to lift, rip out XREAS, do the metaltech airbag to coil conversion in the...

What is your budget? Where are you located? Do you have a preference between v6 and v8? sr5 or limited? My budget was 10k CAD, I paid 11k CAD out the door. I factored 5K for maintenance and upgrades. I always do this with used vehicles. set aside a budget of half of what you paid to put into a...

The rust may no be as bad as the 3rd gens, but its more of a question of "how much rust are you willing to accept" My truck came from the north-east. It was sprayed by Ziebart, but the PO stopped doing it a few years before I bought the truck. It had some surface rust but the frame was solid...

It took me almost a year to find my 2004 v8 limited. It wasn't even in the best condition but it was the best that I found. The toyota tax is strong with the 4th gens as well. I think you will have better luck finding a GX470 but the word is out on those too. I have seen mallcrawled gx470s...

I replaced my XREAS with conventional shocks and kept my RAS. From the research I conducted on this site, you need Bilstein 4600s in the rear. You can go 4600s in the front but they are non adjustable like the 5100s are. I have 5100s in the front, 4600s in the rear. I like the way the truck...

I changed mine out at 189,000 KM. It was pretty rusty and I could see moisture seeping from the front right shock. It would sway a lot and didn't give a lot of confidence in handling on corners. Ordered Bilsteins 5100 for the front, set at .85 Order Bilsteins 4600 HD for the rears, so I could...
