I have a 3rd gen 4runner, it's amazing driving this vehicle 25 yrs old, no issues ever, 2nd owner since 2006

@1stgenoffroad Жыл бұрын

Absolutely. Mine sat for 4 years so I had come kinks to work out. Replaced the gas tank, gas pump, fuel filter, replaced some fuses, new battery, net spark plugs, new suspension (shocks, springs, upper control arms, extended sway bar links), new tires and wheels, new lower ball joints, new Tundra brakes and braided brake lines, new timing belt, thermostat and water pump, new aluminum radiator, external transmission cooler, changed all the fluids. So I've put lots of maintenance work into it, but now that I have it where it is, I'd be willing to drive it across the country. No issues at all.

Running Icon 2.5” lift on my third gen with 0 offset 17” Stadium wheels and 285/70R17 C rated Wildpeaks AT3/W tires with the Icon delta joint UCAs. I was getting a bit of rubbing also on my running boards but what I found was that it would hit the bolts on my running boards. I just tightened the bolts since it was loose and no more rubbing

you can get more forward wheel movement adjusting the lower control arms for max caster; moving rear adjuster out, forward adjuster in, and then use the SPC arms to dial in the camber. That is what I did on my Tundra to clear 285s without and rubbing.

@@1stgenoffroad my biggest regret when it comes to cars is getting rid of a TRD 1st gen Tundra when I had my daughter 12 years ago. It was so beautiful and that V8 in that little truck seemed so powerful at the time. Ever since then, I swore I'd never get rid of a great car if I didn't absolutely need to. I still have a modified mazdaspeed 3, that I keep for when the gas prices are high (NOW), or when I wanna hit the twisties in the weekend. But nothing in my opinion beats the 90's-early 2000's Toyotas.

Once you cut the plastic it will expose the pinch weld. If you haven’t already, you will need to do that mod where you need to bang it out flat so it doesn’t catch your tire. This is a must. If you are still rubbing you can change your stock bump stops with DuroBumps. Lastly, 3” coils, but def a pain since you already have a pair on the front. It does help a bit. So something to think about biting the bullet later. Since you have UCAs already just get best ideal spacing and alignment and you should be butter with lil to no rub. Unless you are stuffing it or at full flex which is expected. Lookin great so far though. (4Runner 3rdGen is the BestGen 😉👍)

@1stgenoffroad 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks! I haven't cut it yet. So far I'm satisfied with the minimal rubbing in reverse. But yes, I'm not afraid to hammer the pinch weld if necessary. I just changed the lower ball joints, added Tundra brakes and steel brake lines and had a leaky boot, so that was replaced too. I'll probably do the timing belt this weekend or next and replace the PCV valve and I'm going to call it a day with the maintenance and front end. Down the road we're adding bumpers. When that happens, I'll switch to a 650 or 700 pound spring in the front and may use that opportunity to swap out the suspension completely, but until then, I'm very happy with it.

Really good video answering questions I didn't even know I had. One question though. Do I need an alignment after adjusting caster if everything else is equal?

@1stgenoffroad Жыл бұрын

Technically, adjusting the caster does change the camber, so alignment afterward is a good idea.

I have a 2005 Toyota Sequoia that I just put a 3" lift on. I'm looking to get 17" rims and was wondering if I should do an offset of -6 or -12 I want to avoid rubbing the tires on the wheel well

@1stgenoffroad 2 жыл бұрын

Either one will work. I think the -12 might work a little better.

@garyliu670 Жыл бұрын

Looks great man. I have a stock 3rd gen and I’m looking to get a similar set up like yours, but I don’t want to deal with any rubbing or trimming. Would 275/70 on 2.5” lift have enough clearance? And do I need to do anything with the offset? I also have a 2wd. I’m new so anything helps lol. Thank you

@1stgenoffroad Жыл бұрын

Hi Gary, 275/70/17 would fit on 2.5" of lift without trouble. An offset of around 0 would be perfect.

@bripro68 Жыл бұрын

Question somewhat related to this video. I’m a total newbie so please feel free to roast me if I deserve it but this is what I’m wondering about, if I lift my front end on an 04 sequoia for any reason when I set it down it sits about a full inch or more higher then settles after the first drive. Is that settling due to worn springs or is it just the nature the beast? I would love if it stayed at the height when it first comes off the jack. Thank you

@1stgenoffroad Жыл бұрын

Yeah, it's that the axle droops when it's on the jack. When you drop it down, the axle/tires are still tucked inward because the tires can't move out. But as soon as you drive a few feet, the tires are allowed to move outward and the lift comes down.

Hey Josh I need some advice I switched to Bilstein 5100 shocks about a year ago with original springs on the second clip to level out my truck. I have jba upper control arms mag lower control arms and old man emu855 springs on the way to get rid of my preload. My question is will I need to get an add a leaf to level the truck or will 855 springs give me the same amount of lift as OEM springs on the second clip I have about 2 in of lift right now.

@1stgenoffroad nice. The tires for some reason that you swapped to the Sequoyah looked bigger. Maybe it's just the width of the rims is all.
