    Had to replace the alternator recently. Might be looking to sell the vehicle to get something a little bigger, if anyone is interested shoot me a text at 513-720-0399. 168k miles, asking $12,000 as-is.

    I tried to do as little trimming as possible, but never could get rid of my rubbing at full steering wheel lock. Probably something to do with the offset of my wheels. Got fed up with it and decided to just ensure the problem would be fixed by trimming the bumper. My bumper was already trashed...

    Haven't done much to the GX recently, just been enjoying driving it. I got tired of the small amount of rubbing I've been experiencing up front, so I decided to trim the front bumper. Does anyone know how to remove these "wings" that are attached to the bumper support? They hang below the cut...

    Hey GX, thanks for the info. The hub-to-fender height in the front is 24" and rear is 24.5". Hope that helps!

    I've noticed that when taking an uphill right hand turn at about 15 MPH in my parking garage that the traction control light blinks and beeps. Is this common to have low speed traction control issues while turning?

    I'll get you a measurement this evening. For what it's worth, ARB instructed that the second perch is the highest that they would go on the 5100s in order to retain decent ride quality.

    Still loving it! Not harsh sitting on the second perch, which was my main concern.

    Pulled the running boards off this morning. Still some slight rubbing on the inside of the fenders, but just need to bust out the BFH and they should be good. I think it's sitting pretty level though, could possibly settle a little more in the front.

    Yeah, working on getting some good pics. We had some crazy weather come through last night so options have been limited. Actually had to jump a couple of curbs this morning to get around some standing water that wasn't clear how deep it was (should have just driven through it). Good break in for...

    Here's a picture on more level ground. The fender gap between the front and back looks pretty even to me.

    They're just on the second notch. They called and spoke to ARB and that was their suggestion for the tire size. It might look a little higher because of the slope of the driveway and because they were just put on this morning. I'll get some pics on level ground soon.

    Front lift and wheels/tires are ON! I wish that I could say that it was easy, but my front suspension install attempt ended with a tow to a local shop to have them do it. My spring compressors were not sufficient to get the OME springs compressed enough to get on the 5100s. Anyway, I'm...

    Getting some 285/70/17 Pathfinder All-Terrains mounted on the MK6s tomorrow morning. Going to finish up the front suspension on Sunday and get everything on that day, hopefully.

    Do you know the width and offset of your F5 wheels?

    Wish I had more information for you... I really didn't do anything on the 4Runner aside from replace the lower ball joints and put on those wheels and tires. It definitely sat higher than stock but I'm not sure what the setup was on it.

    Quick pic showing the results of the rear lift and 5% tint. I also wetsanded the old awful pinstripe off and buffed/polished back to a really nice finish. Slowly planning on buffing/polishing the entire car, even though it's going to sit outside.

    That's good to hear! My wife will be driving this car when she has to take our newborn around, so I didn't want something that's too stiff. I got the rears on yesterday, will post some pics and a review in a bit.

    Just got a call that the 17x8 wheels are out of stock... Going with 17x9 +0 instead, hopefully no inside rubbing issues.
