    Don't mean to sound greedy but yeah, 10% ain't shit. Doesn't even cover shipping probably.

    I got the wiring figured out, no worries! :) I had it wired correctly, but I guess when I was test wiring it up last night, my number 8 slipped off the switch while in the on position, and blew a tail light fuse. I put everything back together, properly mind you, with a new fuse, and it worked perfectly. Now the only thing to figure out is why my damn upper switch light doesn't come on when the switch is on :frusty: once I get my switch panel final painted and installed, I'll post some pictures.

    Congratulations @willhaman21 !! That's awesome you figured out what went wrong. I can't stand wiring...although the older I've gotten...I'm not so scared of it.

    Again congrats!!!

    From everything I have heard on the 3rds, they flex pretty good. I will also be ditching the swaybars, which will probably help. Oh ya I don't have to pay shipping so I am also saving a ton of money there as well.

    Hmm interesting. That is the first complaint I have heard about the superflex coils. I will have to research this some more.

    I think they use different springs. It looks like the 4th Gens are HD style springs, I did some research on T4R.org and it looks like a majority are happy with the way they ride and flex. I think the 4th Gens are definitely different.

    I've worked on my taco and local members trucks so much, I had no idea the 4Runner I just bought the wife had a rear sway bar. Ours has the KDSS and it looks like a pain in the ass...
    I Ordered the king lift kit for kdss, but heard I may need the icon rear track bar. So I've been doing some research on it :pccoffee:

    KDSS can be a PITA if you plan to mod!

    Woke up this morning and the highway to the Ski Resort was closed, luckily it opened up in time for us to get some time in. On the plus side got the play in the snow.

    Yup you should be fine. We had our Chain Law in effect, but no one was checking. They probably could hassle me since my front 2 tires are pretty worn, but my back to are in good shape.

    Awesome!

    What are you doing with your coils? lol. It was fun only had it in 4wd in the parking lot and towards the entrance of the parking lot. Handled pretty good in the ice/snow.
