Sometimes you feel obligated to get out and take a picture lol

I bought the suspension, so I'm going to use all of it.

I'd reach out to Dark Illusions for some support and to make sure the harness they sent is compatible with the year locker you have. I went with the low range offroad harness and have had no issues with it paired to a 2014 4runner locker.

The originals lasted about 50k miles of pretty hard use, so I can't be too mad at that. Shocks themselves are still in good shape, so we'll see how long the OE bushings last.

In case anyone else has Bilstein 6112s and your lower bushings get blown out, OE Toyota/Lexus part number 90903-89012 is a direct replacement since Bilstein won't sell a replacement. I used a ball joint press and 30mm socket to push the old bushing out and press the new one in. No heat or...

Proforged or something like that if I remember correctly; nothing fancy or expensive. It was off Amazon a few years ago, so I don't remeber the details.

I have ~3" Dobinsons LT and the sway bar was not a limitation in travel. The lower control arm contacted the axle tube before the end link and sway bar maxed out. The 2nd gen links get the sway bar pretty close to parallel vs the lower arms. Heres how they looked with my old 5160 setup.

2nd gen 4runner links are longer, cheap, direct bolt up, and easy to find.

I have been eyeing these in the 35x10.5 variety. I'm finally replacing my old 1998 Explorer, so that means the GX can be relieved of daily duty lol. Glad to hear you're liking them so far. The Toyos I have now are a terrific all-terrains, but I'm leaning towards max offroad performance now.

How are you liking those Kenda MT2s? Can't seem to find any decent reviews online for them.

Used the empty space next to the air box and ps reservoir. The Badlands Apex control box is huge, so I had to trim the excess off the sides. Secured with 2 bolts going through the fender sheet metal and the supplied relocation bracket. Easily accessible should the remote batteries die, and it's...

RIP r&p. What's your plan now that it finally happened?

Yeah, at least for the mechanical info since 2005+ is pretty much all the same. Wiring diagrams will likely vary from year to year though. I use this for my 2008 frequently for any work I have to do.

So far so good for mine. It arrived after a few weeks, fit the body lines, template was accurate, and it does the job. I wouldn't say my experience is typical though with all of the other overwhelming negative feedback recently. Buy at your own risk. I wish the TJM low profile Airtec snorkel (or...

~40° lean. Always make sure to turn the rollover side curtain airbags off lol.
