That T4 Plus looks great. My T4 just arrived yesterday. I was going to wait for warmer weather but there Black Friday sale was 30% off..SCORE!! I'll probably just throw in my Thule XXL Cargo Carrier until I get a Roof Rack.

Stuck Air Injector Valves
Driving through Memphis last Friday the truck suddenly lost power and would not go over 50 mph even with the accelerator floored. Managed to get off the interstate and call roadside service which arrived within an hour and towed me to Wolfchase Toyota. Explained the issue to them and it was diagnosed to have stuck air injector valves. Truck only has 15000 miles on it. Woolfchase provided a free rental car and I went off to a motel for the night. They ordered the replacement valves plus an air pump out of Cincinnati for overnight shipment. Early yesterday morning I got a call that the parts were in and the truck was ready. All was covered by the new vehicle warranty. Seems water had gotten into the air injector valves and caused them to fail. They said this was a common problem with older 4Runners but had not seen it on any 2018s yet. Back on the road by noon.

I assume the 2nd jack took the place of a jack stand?

It took every tool in my garage to get the rear coils in including a 30 rack of beer!

Yes to the KDSS. Cranked to front coils 12 1/2 turns for roughly 2.5 inches and gained about 2 in the rear.

I just used a spring compressor lol If you completely disconnect the sway bar, shocks, and use a spring compressor, they go right in.

Spring compressor with an impact wrench ended up being the golden ticket!

No that's a very bad idea. Spring compressor tightened evenly side to side with a regular wrench is the golden ticket. Spring compressors can be very dangerous, an impact gun only adds to that. Regular wrench may take longer but it's the safer way to go about it. You should probably add jack stands to your tool inventory also lol.

Had 4 of them under the truck. Guess the pics don't show it. Oh well, no one died and the coils are on so I'll take it! I'll be smarter next time with the compressors though!
