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

Just finished the alignment...drives like stock. I’ll need a slight mud flap mod other than that perfect! The adjustable control arms are money.

 

Which front skid are you going to install? For my RCI skid I use the F103S Fumoto Valve. They have hoses and angle sockets you can connect to the nipple if you need/want to... The RCI has the hole cutout directly below the drain, so it's simple...

 

I don't think you'll be dissapointed. I have the same set-up and I like it a lot. Not too stiff at all.

 

Thanks again brother for answering my questions I sent you! I had the opportunity to ride in a stock 4Runner with 5100s and though they rode nice BUT everyone I have spoke to who has experience with both said the ride quality is better on the Eibachs. And I believe this is a lot of misinformation floating around the net about Eibach...these shocks are not made by Bilstein ETC ETC. I can’t wait to get them installed.

 

So this is what I was told by an Eibach employee. He's posted on here a couple of times and on the other forum. The gist of his explanation was as follows:

Like the 5100's the valving of the Eibachs are digressive, which for a lot of people translates to a stiffer ride at slower speeds. However, unlike the 5100's, Eibach adds a bleeder valve so that the shock mimics a progressive shock thereby making it feel smother at slower speeds.

In my experience with both shocks, the explanation is spot on.

 

Knock off Pro Grill. I have a friend that put on the Toyota one. I can’t tell the difference between the knock off and Toyota grill except the $400 in price. Molded ABS is Molded ABS, maybe I am wrong we will see how it holds up.

 

The oem skid

 

Leveled/lifted and tires!

 

The green is awesome. Can easily read anything. Was hard to read things with the red LED's. Also diggin' the blue door led's. Lights up enough to be able to see but not excessively.

 

Neat!

 

Truer words never spoken

 

I'll be honest. My T4R has not been to a dealership since the day I drove it off of the lot, over 90K miles ago. I do everything myself. Though, it looks like they will have it back for the airbag recall. Even still, I would rather do that myself.

 

Awesome Rig you've got there.

 

Thanks. It has been a process to get it there. Ha ha!

 

Installed the OEM skids that were missing.

 

Glad they worked out for you!

 

Took mine in for it's 10,000 mile service, because somehow I've managed to rack up that many in just over 5 months.

 

no need to just let it sit there and look pretty!

 

Installed the Spydertrax 1 1/4” spacers. Noticeable difference, now I need to do some trimming!

Before:

After:

 

This happened on the way home from work yesterday. Miles add up when you have a 64m round trip to/from work daily.

 

Just ordered a set of these this morning...


Will post a pic after I get them installed.

 

Very nice! … please tell us more about this and cost?

 

Mud flap will probably suffice

 

Wish that was the case.... body mount chop is in order. Just ordered the Relentless body mount chop plate so I can finish it off nicely. Doesn’t look like I’ll be able to use the front mudflats unless I can pull the inside back towards the chop. I’ll try getting them to work after the chop.

 

Dump the spacers and you won't need a BMC most likely.

 

Lift and keep it all..LOL

 

whats the rear diff mod you spoke of ??

 

Breather mod? The rear diff breather is right on the axle, not the best place for it. Buy the appropriate fitting and breather from Toyota along with 10 feet of hose and move the breather up into the drivers side 1/4 panel. No more issues with sucking water into the diff.

 

Added a heated seat kit from ebay , work great and the switches fit in the factory console knockouts . comes with 4 carbon heat mats foe back and butt .
I have to set them no more than half way or my butts on fire .

 

what do think of the pedal commander ??
