What have you done to your 5th Gen 4Runner today?

I want one but the noise is keeping me away

 

Yeah... Im a little irritated by it, but not enough to like, really, really be bothered by it.

 

Finally got the snap rings set to the 1.6'' position on my front Eibachs. Now to just find a shop to do the install.

 

Looks good. I’m also from Phoenix Az, would like to know what lift option you get, who did it and how much cost you parts and labor?

 

Ouch, thanks for the heads up. Glad to hear you got yours seated fully and running smoothly now! I'll have to do that tonight with mine.

 

Where are you from? I do installs that’s my I ask. Mooresville NC here.

 

Looks great

 

The lift kit was done at Westcott Designs in North Phoenix. It's the stock suspension with their TRD Off-Road Preload Collar kit. They manufacture all parts there, really high-end operation. No Chinese made junk here. Their kit is not a spacer lift, they moved the shock collar up to compress the springs a bit to create lift. Virtually eliminates nose dive, body roll, etc.

The truck is brand-new, it just didn't make sense to me to remove brand new shocks/coil overs and replace with new (for me, the stock suspension is perfectly capable to fit my needs, mostly mild trails). Figured I'd wear out stock then upgrade to new coil overs later.

As for price, just call them and talk to Jeff. He's very knowledgable, almost always answers the phone when I call (unless he's with a customer), and he can give you pricing over the phone. They install their kit, trim fenders, install and road force balance tires, and do the alignment for you. it's an entire package, less $$ than you'd think.

 

even with music on you can hear the noise..? i like that one!

 

No. I sure can’t. But I never really thought about it.

 

Packing up for an outing

 

Got this Milwaukee job site organizer to hold all my condiments and kitchen stuff. It is epic! Watertight, and individual cups are removable. Great box for $25

 

Sounds great. Thank you for info.

 

Sadly, I'm a bit far. I'm in North Central MO.

 

Great idea and thanks for sharing!
Can’t forget that “First Responders Firefighter Hot Sauce”

 

Love that sauce!

 

How far from Branson?

 

I got my Krazy Beaver shovel hanging on my Rago molle panels today. I installed the Rago mounts for the Quick Fist. This was the only place I could really put the shovel, and it'll only work there when the right side rear seat is folded down. That seat is always folded down, so the shovel isn't in the way of anything for me. If I ever need to put that seat up, I'll probably have no need for the shovel, so I could always take it out and leave it home or even just toss it on the bottom in the back or have my unlucky rear passengers hold the shovel. Under normal mounted circumstances, you have to make sure the shovel is far back enough when closing the trunk, but that's no problem. I gave it a test drive and everything seemed to hold very well. When initially putting the shovel up I thought maybe it might rattle on the screw in the lower right of the panel, so I might put something soft on top of that screw, but I think it's going to settle with lots of room so there will be no need for that soft thing.

 

Nice quality box for the price. Was that on sale or regular price?

 

Regular price. Got it at Home Depot

 

I'm about 4 1/2 hours from there.

 

I've just been waiting for parts. I've got some dust lights on order from one place (out of stock apparently) and molle panels and sso fogs from caliraised

 

I've come to find out that I'm not liking the NFab steps as much as I initially thought. I really like the look of them, and stepping into the vehicle is fine, but, when I go to step out it feels like it's too far forwards. So, I've put in an order for the Tyger side steps.

 

Threw in a Odyssey 34R battery this morning.

 

I take it you're just as far from Springfield, MO.

I use BKS Trucks for Eibach Pro Truck Lift install. They did a fantastic job.

That green looks great!

 

Just got my ARB breather kit in the mail today. Going to have the company that is doing my re-gear and lockers install it.

 

While on the topic, can anyone in/or around NW Florida, lower AL or MS recommend a good shop to install lifts? Thanks in advance.

 

Thanks it’s does. Going to make it tuff to give it up when my 2021 tundra pro LunaRock comes in. Just waiting on that. Could not convince the wife to take it. She’s trading her 18 Acura in on a new 2021 Acura RDX.
