What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

[CrazyMike]

Nips up is how I did my firestones, then the lines don't flex and stress when the suspension moves up and down

Yeah, that was my thought as well.

Where did you install your Schrader valves?
Did you use the "T"? Or did you keep the airbags independent?

I'm still working on finalizing all of my decisions...as if all my questions didn't make that fact obvious.

They sre designed to be up. Etrailers.com has a very good installation video for the 4 runner for these..

I did do something differently as I installed a T valve joining the airbags and installed the fill up nipple in the top of my bumper where there is free space under the hatch. Taken from antmans great idea of doing so. I can take a photo if you are interested in where and try to get how I routed the lines etc. If possible.

Answered above. Looks liek Ill add some photos to my build thread of what I did better.

Btw I do need to fix some small things with the UCA install as I didnt have the complete instructions nor all the required parts. So I reused some factory stuff and put washers where not required.

I kept mine indy, a lot of people T the lines. With it Indy, I think you have more control of the bags, therefore more control of how your ride sits. Each their own

Spent 5 nights near Independence Pass/Aspen with my wife, dog and 1 year old daughter. One of our best trips ever.

Getting the top banner of the windshield tinted. 20%



Threw the matching spare inter the truck for now. It's a tight squeeze.

If it is 285/70/17 it shouldn't be tight fit, It fits just fine. Sometimes I think Toyota originally designed 5th gen for 275/70/17 but then for sake of gas economy settled for lesser 265 series.

I'd be very interested in your line routing. I really like antman's idea and will probably mimic his design unless I can route the air lines inside the left fender (for access through the interior panel).

It's a General Grabber AT2 33x12.50r17.

Curious on how the install is and your thoughts on the build quality. Plan on picking up a set this spring. Thanks!

This things are solid. Took me about 2 hours to install the sliders. Real easy to install. The sliders are very well priced to! [MENTION=82118]JLee[/MENTION] is a great guy!

I greased the bushings on my UCA's, then pulled the lower front air dam off.

arty:

Any aerodynamic benefit for that was lost a few years ago... Plus it was fairly scraped up anyway.

Got my husky liners for front and 2nd row and they fit perfect
