New 4Runner Owner Here Former Tacoma Owner
so i had a 09 tacoma up until last week when it got totaled
now i just picked up a 2003 4Runner limited with 81k on odo
have many question but here is a start...
......will my king coils from my 09 tacoma work on the 4 runner?
what other parts if any are interchangeable ?
i need skids, sliders, bumpers in near future...
but for now...cv's,
timing belt and water pump i think
how hard is the timing belt to change
does the water pump need to be replaced at 90k also?
what else should be done?
i am planning on doing the vvvv
rear diff breather mod?
im looking to go 33's and lift it?
i also have a slight belt chirp i will have to look into.....
let the fun begin.....

WELCOME TO T4R.ORG
your kings will fit, the front ends are identical. UCA's etc. will fit too. Get some 33s'. Use the kings for front lift. You will need 3" to clear 33's.
Get a rear coil spring lift. OME is popular for added rear weight. Check out the link in my sig for 4th gen suspension stuff. 33's may rub a little on the frame and you *might* have to do a body mount chop.
The T belt is hard. I'm doing mine in the spring, hopefully with a guy from TW in PA. There are a few write ups.

Yeah any time man. All that stuff will work. You're not talking lift spindles are you? Are yours gusseted or something?
Wheel bearings are the same, CVs i'm not sure but I would imagine they are. I'm not sure about the front diffs which would be the determining factor, but I would imagine they are.
Just be warned, the CBI dual swing out rear bumper is almost 2500 when all is said and done. Definitely go OME 895e's in the back and 886 in the front for all the added weight. The 895e's are like 45% stiffer than stock rate IIRC which (stock is around 180) - I guess you're new to the whole coil sprung 4 linked rear thing. Way better than leafs.
T belt is around 1k usually. Seen it as cheap as 650 and as much as 1400.

Skids won't fit, LCAs will. Rear bumper options are limited. CBI is by far the best. It's heavy. The rear is easier than the front. I can do shocks in 10 mins a side, springs in 20

KILL IT WITH FIRE. That is XREAS, cross linked fp and rd and rp and fd shocks. You have to eliminate the whole system or do the two linked shocks together. search around for more info but don't just throw the kings on without replacing rear shocks too. I'd pair OME shocks & springs.

Sorry should have clarified. Keep the kings for the front, I would go OME springs in back paired with their shocks. IF you have extra cash to blow, fox makes nice remote resi shocks, icon and radflo are also good to look at. Not totally sure how some of these bigger name kits go with rear weight. I know OME springs are the stiffest available, but I am not sure what shock is best to pair them with for comfort. I can't imagine a fox or icon wouldn't do the trick. Bilstein 5160's are a cheaper remote resi, not sure how aggressive their dampening is though.
