Thanks input fellas. @MongooseGA I had totally forgotten about Dobinson. From what I have read, they have a good ride quality, correct? @delz05 Thanks for the photos. Thats about how much I am looking for. When you say "firm", would you say more truck like or jarring? AHC is pretty...

After 260,000 miles, AHC is starting to leak. Left front "shock" is leaking. Not where it is dripping on the driveway, but leaking none the less. I am sure this has been covered ad-nauseam, however I am in need of advise. I have a Dissent rear bumper with single tire swing out currently, but...

Thanks for that @dack. I am looking at them on car-part.com now.

Quick question. Anyone know for sure that these part numbers will work with 2004 and up? I am assuming that they do, however that is a LARGE assumtion. I was about to pull the trigger on the parts and want as much evidence as possible.

Not bad at all. Get a decent pair of hog ring pliers and it is easier. There are several threads on here that describe the how to's. Just take your time. Drivers seat was about three hours. faster the second time.

Online. US Auto Seat Covers in Houston but ordered them off of eBay. Another Mud guy recommended them. They are well made and the fit was great. If I had to do it over again I would add a thin layer of foam to the sides as mine had deteriorated a bit. Over all very happy with them. I...

Been busy this week. Did Kings springs, new CV axles, front leather and finished installing the Dissent rear bumper. Feels like a new truck. Just have to relocate my backup camera and I am done for a while.

I live in Oklahoma City and two weeks ago was heading out of town when my truck suddenly lurched to the right and began to shake badly at highway speeds. I was able to get off on the next exit and limp it back into OKC. It would drive ok for a bit at lower speeds then the shake would return at...

I ended up doing TRD wheels with 0 offset and 275/70/17's. After doing much research I discovered this is the largest tire that will fit on an unlifted 4Runner. 33's require a 2"-3" lift. Hope that helps.

I am an LC100 guy that purchased my son a 2012 4Runner limited that has 20's on from the factory. I like a taller side wall and would like to go to a 17-18" wheel. How small can we go and still clear the breaks? Also, what is the offset on the factory wheels? He would like a little tire...

You must post pics and after action report. I am planning a trip there later this year.

Alma is the nearest town, which is about 10 miles from the top. I have kept the truck pretty well maintained as far as AHC, bushings, springs, etc. All of the standard items. It runs like a top and is built like a tank. I would take it anywhere within reason.

Went to Breckenridge last week. Only parking spot I could find. Had a dude in Alma tell me we were one of the first groups through Mosquito Pass this season. Did four trails in three days. Just amazing up there.

I was wondering the same thing. Looking at rear bumpers but I like my backup camera. Someone must have a solution.

Change your accumulators. Mine rode the same as yours just out of the blue. Read Prado's instructions on the swap. Went to NAPA and bought a forged fan clutch wrench, 36mm. Done in about two hours. Now it rides like new.
