    energy suspension for front control arms?

    I used these and other bushings from Energy Suspension as part of a larger running gear rebuild that I did last year. As many people will tell you they are a lot of work, but I have had no complaints on the 15k miles I have on them so far. However, looking back I should have saved for a couple...

    New Member in need of some HELP (3rd GEN 4Runner)

    I have this exact lift on my rig, the 265s did look a little small IMO. Here it is the weekend that I finished the lift: Imgur I ended up going to the 285s a couple months ago, and just like you said I've lost a little top end power and some mpgs and I did have to do some trimming. But I was...

    Read before buying Bilsteins!

    I have the same setup in the front of my 2000 SR5 and I love it. The guys at , Toyotech did a great job answering my questions. Yes they are different components, and yes they will yield different results. It is just a matter of what you want to get out of your machine and finding the correct...

    Too late to the party? - Relying on 3rd Gen for single vehicle ownership

    We bought our 2000 with 64K in 07 and it was our only vehicle for 6 years, commuting 120 miles a day for the last 2 years. It now has 205K and is still running like a champ. If you take your time and find one that has been cared for the mileage shouldn't scare you at all, these trucks are tough...

    tundra 5100/taco/eibachs WHAT PERCH YOU RUN

    I put my Eibachs on the first perch of the Tundra coils after researching and reading the cautions against any higher perches. I got a full 3" but I was swapping out original shocks and springs that were pretty sacked out, so that factors into my measurement a bit.

    tundra 5100/taco/eibachs WHAT PERCH YOU RUN

    I just installed Tundra 5100 and Eibachs a couple weeks ago. I am running on the bottom perch, and I gained a full 3", but that was coming off original shocks and springs that were pretty sacked out, so I guess that's a grain of salt for you. But I did a lot of research before pulling the...

    changing front wheel bearings

    You'll need a ball joint separator for the UBJ. The only other tool you'll need that may not be in the average tool box is a 35mm socket for the CV nut. It may be a 36mm depending on if the axles are OEM or aftermarket replacements. Happy wrenching!

    Colorado newbie

    Took me long enough but finally registered to TR4. I got my 2000 TR4 SR5 back in 2007 and have put 160,000 miles, a few sets of tires, a couple timing belts, 6 antennas and countless filters on it. Because she was our only car for several years she stayed pretty stock, but the new Camry in the...
