Ok guys... a gentleman from iowa came and bought the whole truck. I gave him this site as a reference. He has restored numerous old muscle cars and jeeps. Look for his tear down thread coming up!

I'll have to look. It was dark by the time I got home. You folks have a couple good questions that I can't answer until I can see it in light. I literally bought it to make it run and drive. I hadn't paid the kind of attention I do to my 4runner!

i guess ill go first here... my name is matt wagner. my rig is a 2004 4runner sr5 v8. joining this group after another expedition across mojave rd. 3 trucks (including my own) will be on the kokopelli run. we all come from illinois. all of us with a decent amount of experience and sarcasm...

on your v8 4runner you will gain about 3/4 inch all four corners but the truck will handle like new (just put mine on about 2 weeks ago) I cant believe the difference it made. I went for the bilstein 5100's and rear daystar spacer but not really needed unless you are going with bigger tires.
