The Ultimate Budget 3rd gen 4Runner Lift?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- Fixing some saggy rear springs and blown shocks. I replace my 25 year old stock suspension with front springs from a 2001-2005 Tundra TRD and bilstein 5100 shocks for the same truck. Then in the rear I use the 2001 tundra bilstein 5100's with a pair of Old Man Emu (OME) 890's I expect this lift to provide 1-2 inches.. but we'll see what we get at the end.
Parts used in this video are:
Front Left(driver) spring: 48131-AF090
Front Right(pass.) spring: 48131-AF100
Rear Springs: OME 890
Front Shocks (x2): Bilstein 5100 24-261425
Rear Shocks (x2): Bilstein 5100 24-100144
Strut Top hat bushing(x2): Monroe 907926
Rear shock bushing: Energy Suspension 9.8140G (G for black/R for red)
endlinks (x2): any 90-95 4runner rear swaybar endlink
Just use STOCK Tundra parts. They are EXACTLY the same as 4runner except 2 1/2 inches longer. Instant 2 1/2 inch lift you can buy at any auto parts store for MUCH less.
Silly question but what gen/year of tundra would they come from? Any extra add ons to make it fit onto the 4runner?
@@gabrielpalacios624my Guess would be 1st gen because 3rd gen 4Runners share a lot of parts with 1st gen tundras
What year and are they an exact fit
@@jacobjacinto8064 the first gens are 2000-2006 I believe. I’m planning on doing a tundra break swap pretty soon. But I’m not sure if everything are direct swap. I would assume so because the entire knuckle in the front is the same. I just bought Bilstein 5100s and Old man emu 883s and 891s for a 2.5” lift. It’s a bit more expensive but from my research it’s worth paying more for nicer shocks and springs
What about land cruiser parts, same?
I’m doing a similar lift but going with 6112s in front with 3 inch toy tec rear springs and long travel 5100s in rear. As far as I know, no one has ever done this lift. Wish me luck.
Good Luck! let us know how it goes.
I have same car
Good car and good job
Dude your jack stand orientation on the drivers side just gave me an anxiety attack.
Just to let you know i wouldnt put your jackstands like that. Because they will slide off the frame. Turn them so the frame fits in the notch in the stand.
You're absolutely right! Good catch! I had to go back and check in the video. I did the other 3 the right way and zoomed in and filmed doing it the wrong way.
@@stusch1027 yeah man. You can put them like that but only under the rear control arms on the frame.
OMG, You are jacking it wrong
Looks good dude ! I have a 1999 Toyota SR5 4runner 4x4 I do a lot of driving out in the country dirt roads and thinking about what you just did to yours.
Subbed for more 4runner content, thank you.
More to come! thanks for the sub!
Subscribed! Please get more videos about 3rd gen, got mine 6 months ago and on the way to learn DIY 😇
Appreciate the Sub! more on the way.
3rd gen=best gen
Just did this yesterday. Did you end up with a washer at the top of the front strut jingling after install?
I can’t get the top nut tightened down enough to stop. It’s like the nut has bottomed out on the threads and there is a gap where the washer just jingles with every vibration.
And those replacement bushings cracked as I had to hammer them on 😂
You made it look so easy!
Everything was tight when I torqued it down. Are you missing a bushing or did they send you the wrong strut?
The swaybar is the support the body from rolling left to right. The panhard bar is what should be parallel to the vehicle but angles as you as lift, which should be corrected
La Toyota 4RUNNER es muy bonita, yo usaría mejor el tamaño de fabrica de la camioneta, esa es mi opinión porque muy alto , no se , no se mira original, yo tengo una Toyota 4RUNNER i yo no la levantaría jamas
Es cuestión de gustos .
Solo la levantó un poco nada agresivo 😊
I have a very similar setup, been running it for years now.
I have 5100's all around with FJ Cruiser coils in the front and Dobinsons C59-137V coils in the rear.
I saw the dobinson's as I was shopping but didn't see much about them online. How's the ride feel?
Hello, I am a subscriber from Korea. Recently, I'm really into 4Runner, so I am considering importing one because we don't have it in Korea. My biggest concern is how to find a good car remotely. Could you recommend a good way to find a car remotely?
Would you also recommend a budget for the 4Runner 3rd gen? Actually, I don't really care about the interior or exterior; I just need a car that operates well technically.
I really don't have any experience with importing. If you're looking over here online and find something you like, you could look for a local company (same city and state) that does pre-purchase inspections and they should be able to verify the car is good. Also have them check out the frame to make sure its not rusting out. I would look for a ad that has a many pictures as possible. as for budget, 6-10k USD would get you a good running 4runner, obviously the nicer the interior/ exterior the more it'll cost. When you start talking about actually doing the import, I would guess you need a company local to you that understands the process.
@@coffeecola433 우연히 보고 답글 드립니다, 저는 캘리포니아에 살고 있고요, 제 동생이 LA 에서 한국으로 자동차 부품,새차, 중고차등을 수출하고 있습니다,도움이 필요하시면 연락주세요, 3rd gen 4runner 어떤 사양으로 원하시는지요, 미국에서는 6기통 개솔린 엔진이 메인이고 간혹 8기통도 있습니다,
It’s probably easier to get a Hilux surf from Japan than the 4Runner which is the same thing except the Hilux comes in diesel as well as the v6.
@Hollowpointz956 Thank you, that is a good idea as well! I have thought about that. But the only concern is that Korea is the right side handle, and Japan is the opposite. I used to drive a car that came from Japan, and there was some inconvenience.
Do you have the part number for those end links?
Appreciate the detailed break down of this entire process - looking forward to more 3rd gen content!
Great video
Thanks!
Hi where can I get the rear bushing from ?
just google the part number - Energy Suspension 9.8140G - I think i got mine on amazon for about 8 bucks.
