People just love the feeling of being able to go anywhere in any condition, even if they only take it to soccer practice and the shopping mall in reality. The unfortunate thing is that much like many other rugged vehicles on the market, the majority of Toyota 4runners will never be taken off-road. Pulling up in a 4runner tells the world that your life is exciting – or at least that’s what some owners like to believe. It looks tough and everyone is familiar with its off-road prowess. Much like the Jeep Wrangler, owning one is more of a lifestyle for many people. Owning a 4runner comes with a certain adventurous image. This goes for many platforms like German sedans, diesel trucks, and exotic sports cars. Whether you want to admit it or not, sometimes the vehicle people choose to buy is based on the image that goes along with it. It’s rugged, nimble, and doesn’t cost as much as your house. That leaves the 4runner for people that love Toyotas and want an off-road SUV. The Land Cruiser is just as capable as the 4runner off-road, but it’s much more expensive (and not sold at all in Canada). The Sequoia is a great SUV but its size and independent rear suspension make it a better fit for the pavement. Now that the FJ Cruiser has been discontinued, it’s the only affordable option for people that would rather have an SUV than a truck bed. The 4runner serves a purpose among the lineup of Toyota trucks.

While they share some quirks and annoying (yet minor) failures, you aren’t likely to be left stranded on the side of the road. Still, Toyota trucks continue to prove the claims of being dependable. To this day, many people automatically think “simple and reliable” when a current model is mentioned – and the reality is that they’ve become much more complex since that original pickup. Toyota took that reputation and ran with it for many years. They were known for being very basic in design and doing their job well without being flashy or riddled with gadgets. The Toyota Truck family has been well known for their dependability and reliability ever since the original model – simply known as the “Toyota Pickup”. Of course, there are some people who believe they’re overrated but for the most part, it’s widely accepted that they live up to the hype. There are many reasons why we love the 4runner. The legendary Toyota truck family’s reputation carries over to the 4runner and it’s certainly deserved. They offer an adventurous image for their owner and hold their value very well. Toyota 4runners are known for being simple, capable off-road, and their reliability is nearly unrivaled. So what is it about the 4runner that we love so much? Many of us have become so accustomed to its popularity that we forget what actually makes it such a special vehicle. I have always been impressed with the steering force on the stock rack over my 90 with a box.The Toyota 4runner is one of the most popular SUVs of all time. Knock on wood, I haven't touched any of the steering at 338k, the last ~80k or so has been a fair amount of bad dirt roads and a little wheelin.

Peeking in there, it looks like it would be pretty hard to drop the pinion side down. I want to drop to the 2' or so.Īlso, what about diff drops? I have lots of room in the skid plate, but a few people say they kill pinion bearings which would be easy enough to remidy, but it's seems that it doesn't really move the cv centerline down that much. Spc is the one that won't fit without spacers?Ģ.5' lift already killed 3 boots. I'm trying to decide if they're worth rebuilding or not.

The bushings are pretty gone and they seem to have leaked a bit. I picked up some of the nicer fabtech shocks, made by fox, for like $100. Well I have 5100s installed, been happy with them for the price and having the adjustable lift is cool for a stock replacement.
