4runner Happenings

I'm new to blogs and needed to set one up so I could have a URL for my photos and then place the link onto forums that I belong to. So, that's why I'm here now.

I have a 2000 Toyota 4Runner SR5 4WD V6 Millenium Silver with a few extra goodies I added on.

Let's start with the Front...

• Toyota Tundra TRD 4WD Front Coil: 48131-AF090 (Passenger) Blue + Yellow




• Toyota Tundra TRD 4WD Front Coil: 48131-AF100 (Driver) Yellow + Yellow




• Old Man Emu N91s shocks.

I've also included Sonoran Steel diff. drop to accomodate the CV angles. I've also changed the CV axles (Napa $76 NEW), Brake rotor & pads (Napa $100 total NEW).

Now for the Rear...

• Downey 2" lift coils #48296-2 that really only added 1.5" (That was dissapointing). However the ride improvment was 110%. I did add the e-brake bracket too.




• Old Man Emu N86 shocks.




• Airlift Coil spring leveling kit #60743. This was a clutch addition to the lift. It was recommended by Andy(Bamachem) from the UltimateYota forum. Ride quality is 10 fold better and I achieved the heigth I wanted for towing and looks.




• Homemade 1" coils spacers. I ordered a 12"X12" sheet of UHMW #85705K52 $27.40 +S/H, and outlined the coils inside diameter and outside diameter, and cut two rings about 6-7" diameter and 1"wide with a jigsaw. It was a definite pain in the rear, but saved my $. I installed them above the rear coils and they are AWESOME!

Now for the miscellaneous stuff...

• K&N Air Filter


• NGK Iridium Spark Plugs


• Valvoline Max Synthetic gear oil (Front diff, Transfer case, Rear diff.)


• Perma-Cool Oil filter relocation kit (Holy crap, SO much easier than before)


• Fumoto Oil drain plug valve (Again...Holy crap, SO much easier than before)


• Hood and sunroof wind deflectors (JC Whitney)


• 90 watt Headlight bulbs (eBay)


• 8" off road lights 150w bulbs (friend) and Explorer Pro Comp Wire Harness (4wheel Parts)


• Roof Cargo Basket (yet to be installed)


• 4Runner Limited 5-spoke 16" Alloy wheels (upgraded from SR5 6-spoke)


• 255/85R16 Tires (waiting for current 265/70R16 tires to wear out than I will install the 5-spoke wheels and 255/85 tires)


• Oil changes every 5K


• Washed every now and again


• Preventative maintenance all the time.

That covers about everything off the top of my head. I'm sure I left out some stuff.
