Bought my 2000 Limited 4x4 with 215k from the 2nd owner back in Jan of this wretched year. Had all svc records from 2008 up including radiator, TB/WP and he took it to the Yota dealer before he posted it up for sale and spent $1500 on PM! No locker but paint and body probably a 7.5 out of 10...

I just put on a set of Goodyear Duratracs in the 265-75-16 size and love them. Make a little noise but otherwise the road manners are pretty awesome and they pull very well off road. I just checked the atlanta area and they are showing 12 in stock in various warehouses.

I had Wheeler's go ahead and assemble the front struts. I work in a shop so I just paid one of my techs to do it but I've done this same job before on my Tundra and it wasn't bad at all. Get a good floor jack and you can probably have the front done in 1-2 hours.

Just got to give some props to everyone on this board and wheelers off road. After extensive research and some back and forth I settled on the Bilstein 5100's and 881 front's and 890's rear. I left the front on the lowest notch so I'm a little arse high but I love it. All my suspension was...

Well after not so patiently waiting my lift finally came in from wheelers 6 weeks later. Used the 5100 BE5-D558-T0 front shocks and the 881 front springs. What setting should I use on the front shocks to get about 2.5" of lift? Got the 890 rears and expect to see about 2.5-3" from those. Not...

I regularly tow a utility trailer around town and just recently had the whole family in it and about 2500lbs of trailer and gear and these little ute's go down the road really good. OD off and running around 65mph down the hwy just fine. My buddy with a 2003 single cab long bed 2wd Tundra with...

No it's been pretty consistently bad. My litmus test was against my last 4runner on 33" all terrains that averaged around 16mpg in town. It was a 2000 Sport so it may have had the 4.30 gear ratio too.

Ok, good point. Haven't done that yet, figured it would throw a code but maybe not.

I had a 2000 SR5 with 255/85 MT's years ago and averaged about 16-17(different commute though) and on long hwy trips would hit 22-23mpg's sometimes. I don't really care but thought 12.5 was still pretty low

So I have a confession first that my horrible commute is 4.8 miles..... I have a bone stock super well maintained 00 Limited 4x4 that is all stock with 215k. Stock tires etc. 90% of the time it's just me back and forth to work. Newer plugs, wires, intake and throttle cleaned, sea foam...

Sorry, it's been about 2.5 weeks since they told me 2 weeks.

So ordered a set of rear OME 906's a little over 3 weeks ago from Wheeler's and was told everything was in stock at that time. I called back a week later because I hadn't gotten a tracking # and was told the 906's were on back order. So I switched it to the 890's and they're on back order too...

Yeah I had mine powder coated and that was a BAD idea, so much slicker. I took skateboard grip tape and that worked pretty good but eventually starts to kind of peel up since it's a rounded surface. I like the look of those RSG's.

After toying with the idea of taking the factory running boards off I've come to the conclusion it will be pretty hard for the kiddos and the wifey to get in the runner. Especially after I lift it. Does anyone out there make a good "step" slider? I had All Pros on my tundra and my last...
