What happens if you press the lower encoder button in? Does it do anything? I pressed it and get the transfer case lock light blinking and 4x4 light on steadily. Can that be reset?

I just found this thread. I have a similar problem. The vehicle won't shift into 4x4 at all. I followed some steps others have suggested: cycle the selector while it's hot out, thump on the transfer case actuator with a mallet, loosened the bolts and wiggled the actuator... While I was under...

Where is this code stamped? I just pulled a wheel off and all I can see is 7 30 stamped on the outside edge. I looked at the rotor hub and didn't see anything stamped on it. Why does this have to be complicated?!?:dammit:

I've gone through this thread and the lift/tire pic sticky thread. There are a lot of opinions and I'm getting lost in the details and pros/cons of spacers and new coils and shocks. The front struts are bad on my 07 with 100k miles. I figured while the front end was torn apart I'd add a little...

Based on numerous threads I've seen, I'll have to see what else the shop can order. They gave me a quote for Bilstein 5100, 3" lift coil setup. Also, parto f the work will be a set of 265/70/17 Nitto Terra Grapplers. A lot of my commute is on choppy, concrete roads, I'd rather not bounce all...

I have a question for the masses. I stopped by a local off-road shop to get a quote on getting my 2007 4Runner a lift/leveling kit and some new tires. I was looking at the Bilstein 5100 3" lift kit. The shop wants to see if the control arm bolts can be loosened. They mentioned something about...

Thanks. That's what I was thinking when you mention that a piece goes on both sides of the top strut mount. I'm guessing this changes the spring rate. Does this make the ride stiffer up front? Are there any benefits to this type of install compared to a 2" spacer that goes between the strut and...

I really like how this looks. I've been on the fence about getting a kit because the front struts need replaced. My 4Runner is also white. This is a nice combo that I had been picturing. I might have to jump on this deal. How easy are these kits to install? A few hours in the garage with...
