so it seems it might now be possible to replace individual parts of the Xreas system separately. I guess I will talk to the tech on what he is actually doing. thanks!

I have a 2006 sport 2WD V8 with 85000 miles. I had the FJ springs and a spacer installed to lift it. At installation, some XREAS fluid was lost because the shop didn't really know the XREAs system and they tried to disconnect one of the hoses/pipes before they figured it out. I have been...

The ride is much firmer. I installed springs from a 4x4 FJ and the 1/2" Toytec spacer and easily got 3" of lift in the front, although I haven't measured it yet. The stance of the truck is way better, but you can definetely notice the firmer ride.

It was more than a couple of drops, it sprayed the car and the floor. At least one paper towel worth.

I took my 4runner to the shop to get a spacer and FJ springs installed. They were not familiar with the XREAS system (although they said they were), they tried to disconnect the front passenger shock and it leaked some oil. After some yelling on my part, they followed my instructions and...

thanks for your help regarding the 4x4 fj springs vs 4x2 springs. I found the 4x4 springs locally, I am now deciding on the spacer. I've read through many of the posts regarding lifts and fj springs, but it seems there is conflicting info. I have a V8, how much lift should I expect from the...

I'm interested in buying all four coil springs from a 4wd FJ....preferably located in So Cal...thanks!

are the 4WD FJ springs different than for a 2WD FJ? I want to do this upgrade, I have a 2WD 4runner sport, I was just wondering which FJ springs to get. thanks

Does anyone have input or have heard or seen reviews on the new michelin latitude tires? I'm thinking of putting them on my 4runner, since I do mostly on-road driving, occasional dirt road when camping. Thanks!

hitch rack I bought a Softride rack and it works great. I think they are cheaper too. http://www.softride.com/rack-products/

Here are a couple of pictures. I installed it myself, it took a while but I didn't cut the headliner.

I installed an Audiovox VOD102 and it looks great. You can easily connect to the AUX input in the center console and listen through the speakers. It did cost me $415, but it has a really nice 10" screen.

does anyone know if the memory seats can be installed in an 06 SE?

How much is the audiovox unit? Without a moonroof, do you still have to cut the headliner?
