    Help! my 4runner is a death trap

    I didn't even think about asking for my alignment printout when I left the alignment shop! I was busy trying to explain to him how messed up this thing is, while he was telling me that it's measuring all square & I didn't even think about it.

    Help! my 4runner is a death trap

    Haven't noticed any bucking,chirping or any difficulty in slow or fast turning. Never felt like a brake was on. Haven't used 4x4 in the rain. I will definitely jack it up & spin those tires.

    Help! my 4runner is a death trap

    No drifting or anything other than normal driving! Someone could win the x games with this thing though! I put it on a lift & let the rear end sag some so I could soap the firestone coil bags & slide them between coils. Followed instructions on this website so didn't stretch any break lines or...

    Help! my 4runner is a death trap

    Sorry I haven't been active here sooner guys. I read some but never post, so I am pretty much new to the forum. Unfortunately I am introducing myself under these circumstances. Last fall I purchased a 2003 4.0 liter 6cyl 4x4 4runner. It had a tow pkg,18 inch rims, oversized calipers & rotors...

    Just recently purchased my FIRST Toyota! It's a 2003 v6 sr5 4runner. Having a little trouble finding an answer to my question with all of the suspension options available out there. The previous owner informed me that he had done the FJ front coil/ Bilstein shock upgrade to the front end as well...
