TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

after this weekend and bucking off every lip while offroading i want to throw away the whole rear end of this thing. So angry with it, time to upgrade and fix this, i cant keep it like this anymore.

 

something, it was brutal this weekend. The wife hit the roof it bucked so hard. Front took it like a champ and was smooth.

 

if someone would just go ahead and buy this for me, that'd be great.

i can almost guarantee my Fox's need revalving. I didnt even hit the bump stops but it was so harsh on compression and rebound that it felt like i did. That'll be my first move then upgrade from there.

 

Locally just ipswich for the most part. Plenty of trips up to the Williamsburg area. Besides that, Bryce, Richmond, and in the Falls Church area. Heading up to visit my girlfriend in college in FarmVille (Longwood University) and have heard of a few trail systems up there as well.

 

Interior LED lights suck major D. Colors are all wrong...

They are great for brake and reverse lights though. Did that on my Tacoma.

 

That makes sense. When I get my Runner back I will probably do the LED reverse lights. Already have them as my license plate lights

 

Do you have the 2002 tail lights or OEM?

 

I have the stock tail lights. I haven't done the LED brake lights

 

I wanna see how bright they'll make our stock lights switching to LED's. Might have to snag a pair.

 

so me being a big stupid head, just noticed i have the stock oem coil spring "bumps" in. Im honestly curious if thats what im hitting because my superbumps in the rear are still dirty and no contact marks on the axles where i would have hit them.

 

Really? I haven't hit them yet I measured 3" from the axle to the super bump bottom and no clean spot. Hmm

 

I'll have to get under mine and see what I can find out. I want to lift my rear bumps a bit anyway so this will decide it.

 

Also tonight I washed and sealed the runner. It was pretty disgusting before.

 

It was pretty bad. Chalky silt like dirt. I looked at wrong and it got dirt on me. Plus I have a lunch tomorrow and need to take clients lol

 

Mines gross after my Utah trip. Inside and out. I'm probably gonna have to pay someone to clean it before my parents come into town this weekend haha

You guys see my photos from that trip?

Maybe I'll switch when I upgrade in a year or so. This Nikon does love to overexpose things. I guess it's a common D90 problem.
