2008 SR-5, 135000 and not a single problem. It gets nothing but Mobile full Synthetics from new. Thinking of selling it and buying a 5th gen.

Always looking for like minded guys to take runs with. PM me anytime. Im free thursday thru saturday. Spring is on its way, and with the large amount of rain, we are in for an awesome spring wheeling season. Let me know :cheers:

Should you have any questions, feel free to ask away or pm me.

You can do all your maintenance items including the brakes at any time throughout the day. Just remember at some point you will have to bed in your newly installed brake parts. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

I live up in the Summerlin area and am always looking for an excuse to run my rig. Pm me some time.

Really when you think about it, my build is not much different from many of the high end rigs in here. Our rigs are limited on wheel travel to a point. Imy shooting for the TC or Camburg front kits which will yield a max of 14" in the front and two shocks per wheel. The rear is my wild card. I...

How do you like the DSC's? Im seriously looking at those, front and rear. Whats been your experience with the DSC's? What kind of wheelin do you do?

LOL Thanks! I didnt realize I was researching so much geeez! lol Now Im hearing the rear axles are prone to bending under pre-running... So, I may have to fire up the ol welder and fabricate a stout truss for this thing. :cheers:

Thanks everyone for the replies. Im that guy who does and will use all the wheel travel and enjoys having the capability to custom tune the chassis setup. I have over thirty years building and driving many types of race cars and hot rods. Currently, I have pulled out as much as possible from my...

Im having an internal dilemma and Im looking for some insight from those of you out there. So, Im thinking of doing a rather large and complete makeover of my entire truck. Im looking about dumping around 20k to build the T4 of my ultimate design. A complete new suspension system front and...

I have replaced upper ball joints a few times on our Gen 4 4Runners. They are replaceable. In fact, I purchased MOOG joints and they are greasable. I replaced the lower ball joints as well without replacing the arm. However, Im also a huge fan of the aftermarket Camburg, Total Chaos or Icon...

When my friends or customers come to me asking for brakes front or rear, I usually ask a few specific questions to help determine the type of pad and rotor combo that would best suit their needs. As for me and everything Ive owned over the last twenty or so years, has always ran Hawk pads and...

I too have considered looking for a complete rear end housing with the OEM locker so all I would have to do is drop it in and do some wiring. My other thought was to install a manual locker like the Lock Right or a Detroit Locker. I would prefer a locker that I can switch on or off at my discretion.
