I just got off the phone with Irbis offroad, sounds like they don't do fabrication work any more. Sucks, since I live like 10 minutes away from their shop location. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

Which air shocks did you choose? I can't find any adjustable ones.

Thanks for the advice guys. I'll look into air bags. As far as the rear lift goes I'd rather lift the front and the back. I know it might be a bit over kill, but the trailer I'm looking at is a 14 foot toy hauler that the other half is already making plans to use camping out there. She's uses to...

Oh 4runner gods, I found out a bit ago that I'm gonna be moving to Denver for work. I'm super excited about that because I can actually go camping and stuff without "enjoying" the Florida 200% humidity. Anyway I have a couple questions. The first question involves the actual move. I am thinking...

Not really something I did today, or really did to my 4runner, but I took my 4runner up to Cape Canaveral to watch a rocket launch. They let me park her on pad 37 where ULA launches their Delta rockets. If you look in the bottom right corner you can see the back of my 4runner with my zombie...

Took my baby to the shop today to finally get my Tundra disc breaks installed in the front. Before: <img src="http://i1256.photobucket.com/albums/ii491/vtferret/4runner/20160109_211825.jpg" width="10%" height="10%" /> After: <img...

So not really something I did today, but something I did a few days ago. I know I'm getting old, because for Christmas I asked santa for parts for my 4runner and socks. For the 4runner I asked for a transmission cooler to prevent the dreaded pink milkshake, and a set of tundra disk breaks for...

So my magical "Hey, this is why my gas milage is terrible!" excuse is gone. Bummer. Oh well. thanks for the tip, I didn't know that. I thought that "A/C light off = No A/C".

It's a 2002. It could be the switch for all I know. I haven't tried going for a drive with the HVAC all the way off, I tend to leave it on low with ambient air flowing through it. I'll leave it off for the drive home and see if that stops the puddle . And I just checked the rear controls, looks...

Hello again 4runner gods, A couple months ago I noticed my gas level dropped quite a bit. I chalked it up to my broken Air for Fuel Air mixture sensor, which has been causing my gauge cluster to turn all kinds of lovely orange, and added the parts to my Christmas list. About a week later I...

Sorry about the delay, I've been busy as hell with work and all of that. I'm currently over in Melbourne, so only like 40 minutes away if there are no cars on the road.

I did possibly the easiest mod of my life. I had my Dad hunt down a Vermont Strong plate (he found one at a yard sale) and mail it down to me here in Florida. Gotta let my Vermont pride shine! I went to Lowes and bought the mounting pieces (little plastic square things with screws). Went to put...

Incredibly useful info! Thanks! I am a pretty mechanical, or at least I learn quickly when it comes to it. I just lack the space and specialized tools to do a lot of the jobs. I live in an apartment without a garage, so doing things more complicated than changing oil or painting parts with a...

Oh 4runner gods, I come to you seeking guidance in a time of confusion. I have been thinking about supercharging my baby. I have a 2002 with the 3.6 v6 engine. I know that, because I'm military, I will be moving sooner or later and know that a bit of extra power would certainly help me pull a...

I really can't say much about the whole "mid 20's and living with parents thing". If it weren't for the fact that I joined the Air Force I'd probably still be living with my mom :P Way cheaper than having an apartment, helps her with the bills, and there's nothing better than a mom's cooking!
