Zak's 03 Limited Build Thread

[zopperman]

Love your ride. Makes me wish I went silver.... Where did you get your mesh for the Satoshi grill?

I got it from amazon. Unfortunately, the seller discontinued the product. There are other 1/2" black diamond meshes on there though. I found this one very malleable and easy to work with.

I added Shrockworks bolt on sliders painted satin black to match all my other stuff





Side pic (light bar mount was still in progress)



and my CB went here: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/155186-cb-install-useless-pocket.html

Got 5100's installed today with EIbach silver springs up front and kept my FJ rears with 1.5" daystar spacers





Still sitting a little high, waiting for the front to settle

yeah.. she would if the sway bar wasn't sitting on it :spy:

I really prefer the ride with stiffer springs and no sway. I don't even notice the body roll.

You installed those right where the truck is parked in that picture didn't you?

Oh yeah. In the post-ice storm 20 degree weather...

Awesome, love it. I had to do some pirate garage the other night myself. Didn't want the PITA HOA guy busting my balls about knocking out an oil change so I pulled around the corner at 0300 and killed it in less than 12 minutes.

Looking boss! Where did you find the 4Runner emblem for the Satoshi, or is that custom made?

It's from the rear lift gate of a 5th gen, I modified it a little since the R's looked weird and I color matched it

How do you like the silvers? ive been thinking about getting some of those to replace my 885s with? Everyone says they are really stiff though.

I ditched the front sway and I love the ride. It's not too stiff at all, I don't even notice most potholes now. They are 620 spring rate but 885 is 590 and could be taller. However I think the 885 is more wraps despite the lighter rate.

Do you have the 5100s at stock and did you use any of the 1/4 top plates?

I have the preassmembled units from toytec. 5100s are at .85 + their aluminum top hat which is thicker than OEM and I believe eliminates the spring isolator. Are you concerned about preloading them?

 

[shallcallhimtim]

I'm concerned about the ride height. Does toytec sell just the top hats? Those are sweet! I have a buddy with the all pro 3.5 coils and they are nice! That could help you bro lean.

Nah, but they do sell the top plate spacers that are good for ~1"

I thought about the AP coils, but that'll be way to much rake. I'm thinking I may get a 2.5" spacer + my FJ coils which added maybe 1/4" for a little lesss than 3" of rear lift, or maybe some 2" spacers from ebay

 

[Rjsimeon]

looking to get 16" wheels for my 07 limited but am hearing that they won't fit because the brakes are bigger? would wheel spacers help with that?

no you need to check the caliper size - 13wg = small and 13wh = big, won't fit on the larger wh calipers.

 

[shallcallhimtim]

so has the front settled any? How is the ride of the toytec coils?

Yeah it settled it a bit. I'll post a few pics, I'm out of town for the week though.

I got a 2" spacer for the rear from [MENTION=87539]wnelax04sr5[/MENTION] coming my way to replace the DS 1.5. It sits about 38.5 at the fenders all the way around.

I love the Eibach coils, not too stiff at all. I've put almost 1500 miles on them so far
