Wheeler's Offroad was awesome to work with. Definitely will do business with them again. Here's a sneak peek.

Do you have part #'s of what you ordered? It looks like you are going Tundra coil and bilstein shocks? I'm ready to order some and just not sure what part #'s to use.

No problem.

2x Front Tundra Bilstein 5100s PART # -- BIL 24-261425
1x Front Tundra Coil (passenger side) PART # -- 48131-AF090
1x Front Tundra Coil (driver side) PART # -- 48181-AF100
2x Strut Top Plate PART # -- MON 904900
2x Tundra Coil Isolator PART # -- MON 907926
1x Package of 6 Extended Top Plate Studs 2" PART # TT 25996
2x 3/8" top plate spacers (if you want 2.5" lift on bottom perch you need these) PART # -- WHE TPS38

I had them assemble the struts but they assembled my left strut wrong and I had to rent a spring compressor and move the spring 180*. They were great helping me piece together my kit but when I called for technical support I got nothing. Just something to keep in mind as you go through the process. Steven is the sales associate who helped put the kit together and was also the person who ignored my phone calls and emails when I realized that struts were assembled wrong.

TBU 231mm. Did this about 3 months ago and just now getting around to writing about it. Overall the install was pretty straight forward. I couldn't get the brake lines free to install the new ones but I'll deal with that another day.

Here's what I ended up getting.

2x OEM Tundra Rotors
2x OEM junkyard calipers from a 2005 Tundra
2x OEM caliper rebuild kits
2x Wagner OEX brakepads (these are awesome by the way)

So I see the radiator was changed and tranny was flushed at the same mileage? Do you know if it had the strawberry milkshake? The reason I’m asking because I have 92,000 on my 99 with the original radiator.

I’m thinking it did because those were the service records that came with it when I bought it. 15,000 miles later my transmission went out. Set me back $4k

Oh man, sorry to hear that. I literally was going to change my radiator for precautionary measures this weekend and have the radiator and fluids ready. Unfortunately I sprained my back last Wednesday and probably not gonna attempt it for another 4 to 6 weeks. But seeing that happen to your 4runner with such low mileage is motivating me more to change it once my back gets better.
