For any 3rd Gen, when replacing the front struts, its worth replacing the lower ball joints and control arm bushings at the same time as well (assuming they haven't already been replaced). And possibly the outer tie rod ends if they need it. Then get an alignment. Takes a lot more than 5 minutes, but I get your marketing strategy.

This is a good call out. May as well take care of it while your already under there.

@shornandkenny 6 ай бұрын

Just the lower ball joints. Only do the rest if they're loose. Your right them lower balljoints will not make noise if they're ready to drop.

Sick build I’m a huge fan of the offset and wider wheels. I want to do something similar but worry about rub. Did you experience any with this build?

Ya definitely a bit of rub but nothing serious. It's pretty easy to fix with some trimming and hammering. Or you can get adjustable upper control arms and get a good alignment then you won't rub at all

Your 4 runners look nice man they look clean. I have been debating on doing something similar with my 96 toyota t100, and that's doing a custom front mesh grill with the lettering. How'd you end up making and fabricating your grill over stock? I'd like to that with my truck. And could you give me details on your custom bumper also.

@aramschannel Жыл бұрын

Thank you! I actually have a video for both the bumper and the grill. Bumper is from coastal offroad and the grill is just custom made. Have a look at the videos and see what you think

I think it was on the lowest setting and it's around 2" of lift or so

@willimmel Жыл бұрын

DIY some retrofits and if you live in a place where things get rusty, get snowbound customs osr kit…it’s well worth $220. Of the RC shocks ride bad I recommend fox 2.0’s from accutune. They’ll tune it to your rig for free and they’re only $400.

@aramschannel Жыл бұрын

This 4runner is not actually mine but the owner has some retrofits on order. The RC's are actually not bad at all, I used to have them on my 4runner but now I have 4th/5th gen bilstein 5100s. I'll check out those fox's!

@Iron_Kong Жыл бұрын

Might be a dumb question but why did you go with RC rear shocks and not the matching Bilstein shocks?

@aramschannel Жыл бұрын

So all these parts were actually from my 4runner (the green one). When I originally lifted my 4runner, the bilstein rears were back ordered which is why I got the RC's. When I took all these parts off my 4runner to install on this other 4runner, one of the rear shocks was bad so RC sent me brand new ones under warranty. Hope that clarifies haha

@cairoalmarez9644 10 ай бұрын

How would you say the rear suspension in this 4runner with the RC’s feels in comparison to the setup in your green one? Ig in other words is it even worth it to go with the RC’s or save myself the time and just get myself some 5100’s

@aramschannel 10 ай бұрын

@cairoalmarez9644 I'd probably get the bilsteins if I was you. Nothing wrong with the RCs, they were fine while I had them although one of them did lose its charge in about a year. All that being said, the springs you choose for the rear will also make a big difference. I can't really compare this 4runner to my green one because they have totally different set ups. Long story short, get bilstein haha :)
