Thank you so, so much. Did you reuse the bolts that go through the cams? I'm assuming mine will be rusted to infinity and beyond.

Ball joints on my '12 TE are finally going, so time to replace and going with OME. After a decade on midwest salt, I'm assuming I'll be replacing the everything - LCA, bushings, bolts, cams, etc. On the parts diagram, I can't be sure of which item numbers I need beyond the LCAs - as there...

Thanks! That's what I feared. Was going to go the Morimoto route, but been seeing more complaints lately on quality and reliability, so looking the OEM route.

The 2012 TE light housings are getting pretty yellow/foggy so it's time to replace. Looking through part numbers, I still can't decode if any of the more recent housings will be a drop in fit on the '12. Would love to move into the LEDs, but can't seem to find a thread on here verifying if...

2012 Trail Edition. Within the last month or two, my steering wheel controls cease working when my headlights are on. The volume stops working entirely, and the track seek starts adjusting the volume (up only). It is going into an aftermarket box for a Pioneer Radio, but nothing has changed...

Hey that's me! Toyota dealer didn't do shit. The wheel had been on the tire for around 1k miles, so they said it was too long for them to have any responsibility. No one touches my truck, so thankfully insurance did it's job. Unfortunately the shop in the small town it happened in was a piece...

Thanks to a gash in my sidewall, I'm going to have to replace my MS/2s after only 3 years. Yay. Toyota is offering buy 3, get 1 for $1, so I might as well pull the trigger on all four. Apparently Michelin Defenders (new MS/2s) are really hard to get. After calling around, one dealer said it...

Thanks <<<< Not sure why not. Visible to me. Hosted on imgur which I know more than a few have used since the headaches with photobucket. Is there a better img host? As a hyperlink: https://i.imgur.com/Oe9Yypx.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/RSZNtA0.jpg

Recently discovered my Michelin MS/2s have lost some skin on one of the tires. They are only ~2.5 years old, roughly 25k miles on them. Not sure how big of a risk this is. There is no bulging, but the cut in the center looks a bit deep and just past the white layer. With a 300mi trek next...

PM'd

That's one sweet lookin rig. Waiting a bit on the UCAs for now. Seems like more than a few guys have had balljoint issues, which makes me a bit worried. Then I may go to .85 or 1.75" and even it out a bit. Caster is probably way off. Hopefully that's it (and not steering bushings, being a...

Nope. No spacers. The Eibach/Toytec springs (112-620s). Listed as adding 1.6", so without the old spacers its a net of <1"? Yeah, totally jacked my 4runner up like whoa... They didn't even try to put it on the rig, just said the big lift on it meant the "numbers wouldn't make sense." I...

Really didn't add that much on my TE. Previous owner had 1" spacers on the front, so with 0.0 on the 5100s it works out to a pretty small lift (if any). I forgot to take pre-/post- measurements like a dummy. It still has about a 2" rake to it.

Just got a call from my dealer, and trying to make sure I'm not taking crazy pills. Installed 5100s on all four corners, SAW rears, and Toytec fronts. 4runner drives like shit right now. Steering feels super sloppy, and any bump moves the steering wheel, which makes it feel like you...

Just did this upgrade. Thanks for all who've commented thus far! I ended up doing it twice. Previous Owner had put in a 1" spacer on the front, which I left at first, but I was worried about the UCAs at that point. Didn't want to bite the bullet for new UCAs (YET), so I removed the spacer. Went...
