    Interior rear door release

    This is one of the coolest ideas I've seen yet, mine is a paracord loop that I have to pull and my kids barely have enough strength to pull it to open the rear door. This looks awesome because they could use their body weight to push down instead of pull up.

    I liked my air suspension. It was very handy. I started piecing my suspension kit together a while back and just told myself once I have all the pieces I'd install it. doing it slow and finding deals I was able to do it much cheaper than anyone else I know. I miss the springs...

    Looks good. By the looks of that stock bumper, long overdue 🤣 BTW, cruised through your town 2 weeks ago moving family back down south. Was in the GX hauling a trailer, wish it was for a vacation there, be we drove straight through with no fun excursions....😔

    DIY rear coil conversion kit. Hockey pucks, bolts, fender washers, done. I saw this mod at least 2 years ago and put a mental bookmark in my mind anticipating doing it myself. I did it, it was like $20 for some Hockey pucks and some bolts and washers. If you want the upper and lower spring...

    Does that first $10 item screw into the diff? I've been meaning to do this for over a year, each time I go through deepish water I cringe. Where are you going to route the new breather valve? I've seen some people route it to the gas fill door or behind it in the body panel.

    Front doors rattling from speakers

    The foam around the back hatch speakers is different. We're talking about the rubber seal circle around the whole speaker that deteriorates. You may have to get a speaker repair kit to re (foam) rubber them. The foam in the back hatch is just a barrier between the speaker and back plastic panel...

    Front doors rattling from speakers

    Something could have fallen down inside. But the speakers could be old and shredded and need new foam.🤷‍♂️ Or a loose or missing clip causing a gap somewhere

    Front doors rattling from speakers

    Could be the little door card tabs vibrating. The white clips that hold the door panel on.

    Front doors rattling from speakers

    Dang rear shocks need rebuilt and there's a 2 week backlog everywhere here, so I have to put stock 4runner shocks on for now...... No wheeling until those are installed, but will make a nice mall crawler until then

    Front doors rattling from speakers

    Yes, it's that tiny piece. Perhaps pry it out and stick a small paper towel piece behind and out it back. 🤷‍♂️. I had another loud rattle today in that area and it was a bunch of stuff in the door pocket vibrating. Is your door pocket empty?

    Eibach pro-truck lift kit review?

    That photo looks like the rear is at least as high as the "high" setting with the AHC, no? Your tires look bigger too so the lift will look like less as that tire takes up more space.
