Looking for advice, guys. I had gotten the ToyTec BOSS lift installed years ago here in CA where it's really dry. I recently installed a heavy front bumper and winch and was hoping to have the front suspension pre-load adjusted more firmly to accommodate the new bumper sag. Problem: my mechanic...

Thanks AuSeeker. As it happens, I have been doing some other "treatments" in that arena. I replaced the spark plugs about 15k miles ago and the MAF 8k miles ago. I am planning on cleaning the throttle body again (been about 3 years) and replacing the o-ring for it as well. Also, yes, I have all...

Howdy Inmates, Over the years, I've beefed up my '03 4Runner with all the offroad capabilities and it has added a lot of weight, and predictably, lowered gas mileage. Been reading tons of threads about codes thrown or *how* to change the sensors, but haven't found any "is it worth it" threads...

At least with your blue paint, the contrast isn't as nuts as my white paint. Did you paint any aftermarket stuff? If so, did you stick with gray paint all around? I bought the 5 Ultra Motorsports wheels and BFG KO2's from Tire Rack (together.) Tire Rack shipped them with a free mount and...

I had a Toytec BOSS 3/2 lift with Bilstein 5100s installed in '14 and it hasn't given me any grief to date. The CV angle is even good. I like the look.

I've already primed and painted the rock sliders matte black, and unfortunately, my past crawling has already resulted in chipped paint. Not sure if one can avoid that. I've considered doing matte black bumpers, but then I'm stuck with black bumpers and sliders and gray side trim. In my...

I will be adding bumpers soon and don't want to be stuck with gray trim and matte black sliders/bumpers. That will look jacked up. I also don't want to plasti-dip the existing gray trim to black. Not a fan of white/black. Was considering powder-coating the bumpers and sliders gray to match the...

Toytec BOSS 3/2 lift, BFG KO2s 275/70R17s on Ultramotorsports wheels, Bilstein 5100s. Drives great, eats up the dirt.

Hey Inmates, I'm doing some planning and would appreciate some advice. :help: In the near future, a local shop will install a front bumper with 4 cutouts for the Rigid light pods I purchased. Each light pod draws ~3.1 amps. Ideally, I'd like all 4 lights connected to 1 push-button in my cab...

I am looking to get a lift kit for my 4Runner and have come across the Sway-A-Way kit and the Toytec Ultimate kit. Is there much of a difference on these lift kits? Any preferences out there from you veterans? Also, is there any cheaper way to get this stuff installed? I had heard someone...

Hi All! Just signed up this evening and am looking forward to learning from all the geniuses on here who have done great 4Runner mods! I am specifically looking to upgrade my suspension, tires so I can have more fun in SoCal, so I have lots to learn from you guys. Thanks in advance for...
