So I had a request for a picture of how my alignment came out after the JBAoffroad parts 4Runners 03 + - Toyota went on recently so here it is... And it rides like a dream now! Definitely recommend to those that are looking for a great quality product at a reasonable price, while also using materials that are easily maintained...

Finally replaced my pads/rotors at 95,000 miles, very easy brake job! Honestly, they still had plenty of life left. Factory spec is 1mm of pad before replacement. The most worn pad was 3mm, the others had much more than that. The old rotors are in perfect shape too. I think I'll have them turned and save them for the 200,000 mile replacement, lol. Used all OEM brake parts- a FIRST for me! Nice to get some pedal travel back, but otherwise the new brakes feel exactly the same. Amazing, really.
I also replaced the wiper inserts and while I was under the wheel wells I noticed that my front sway bar end links are leaking grease. Guess I'll replace them next, but they should still be good for a little while.
Couple of pics showing the new vs old...

What do you use to lift your 4Runner? I need something more reliable the the little bottle jack.Looking at 12 ton jack stands and a 6 ton floor jack.

Harbor Freight 3-ton floor jack, and ancient jack stands that are built to hold the world up, lol.

I second this. Same orange harbor freight jack and one set of grey jack stands that have a ratchet notch action with a handle release as well as another set of old school jack stands with the pin that goes through hole slots for height adjustment!

Gobi
Finally saved up enough to place my order for a Gobi roof rack. I ordered it without the rise in the front, no sun roof, movable crossbars, and ladder. Now the wait begins.....not too good at that but oh well. Can't wait. This place continues to beat the crap out of my bank account.....lol. So much cool stuff on this site and all the enablers....:becky:

I got to this point, now I have some choices to make...
Which light is that, I order a 22" SR Amber led over the weekend. Planning to put in the exact same spot.
You need the TRD Pro garnish now.
Impressive brake life, that's awesome coming from what I'm used to. Can you confirm the part #'s here: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/215622-diy-maintenance-quick-reference.html
