Great sales, great service, extremely nice people. I have had the opportunity to work with the larger/glitzier Toyota operations in RI, but get that "icky" feeling from all of them. I always come back to Fox. Over the years, I've leased two Rav4s for my wife, and bought an FJ, two 4Runners and a...

Okay, here are a few pics. Springs and shocks are on, Toyo ATIIs are on, more to come...

Thanks, JustSomeName! BTW, you've set the photo posting bar quite high. Your build story is awesome. Many ideas and much inspiration.

Hello T4R Friends - Had to sell my '09 SR5 about 6 months ago when I was laid off. There was a loan balance, so I did the sensible thing (bleh) and sold it (waaaaaaah), to replace it with a paid for Corolla (ho-hum). Fast forward 6 months to a new job and restored income. Found a clean '08...

DannyLlama - ProComp's customer service has been great, and they've sent me two sets of replacement screws, and a set of replacement center caps. I've replaced the screws all around (removed carefully, cleaned the holes with acetone, carefully threaded the replacements, used thread locker, and...

Anyone out there experiencing peeling or chipping of the black coating on their Pro Comp wheels? I have a set of 7098s that I bought last July, so they are only 8 months old, and many of the "bolt heads" around the rim of the wheel are "peeled" down to chrome, and one of the center caps is...

Had the same problem the last time I tried. If it happens again, I will have it serviced. You should do the same. Is your truck Shadow Mica? I love that color.

To close this thread, I went back at it tonight, and was able to get the driver's side slider on no problem. Used the "tongue depressor with tape" trick to get the rear nut up into position squished in by the fuel tank. The other two went on without issues, no bolt bending needed. I'll need to...

Yes - was thinking about "banana-ing" those last two stubborn bolts. Next wrench night is this Thursday, and I have a few tricks in hand to try to get things done. I'll add bolt bending to the list. Interesting how this string has attracted the two "dark no chrome" 4Runner guys that I first...

Got a call today from Jim at Shrockworks, and he confirmed what you're saying about the bolt near the gas tank location, so I will go back at it and get it done. He also suggested that if I can't get the front bolts through, I could try slightly smaller diameter bolts, since the bolts just hold...

Got my Shrockworks sliders after a long wait, and attempted install today, with two good home mechanic friends and all the right tools, including a good floor jack. Experienced all of the usual learning curve stuff, like figuring out how to pop off the brake and fuel line brackets to get bolts...

Shiny!

Made my choice - Thanks for the advice and opinions! AR Chambers are no longer available. Went with Pro Comp 7098 and very happy with them. Thanks to all for the opinions and advice.

Shadow Mica is ALMOST Black... Close enough for black?
