As some of you may know, I have been driving with my (@plasticsguy) toyotabumpstops.com front bump stops for a little over a month now (check the install). This particular product is new for the 4th and 5th Gen 4Runners, but Plastics Guy has been making them for other Toyota models for a good bit of […]
I’ve been slowly working on my new to me FJ Cruiser e-locker axle swap, and part of my pre-planning was adding on the eimkeith Panhard Correction Kit. This kit corrects your suspension geometry of the panhard bar and allows it to sit in a more neutral position, as if it were factory ride height. I […]
Two weekends ago, I was attempting to upgrade my factory bump stops in the front to a set built by @plasticsguy (toyotabumpstops.com). These are quality parts engineered by a small business that produces all of it’s products in the good ole USA. Unfortunately, all the engineering in the world wouldn’t predict that the removal of […]
My axle was delivered in all of it’s glory last week, and I managed to maneuver it into my garage and get it on jack stands. The eBay seller’s description was “has surface rust”, and they are right, but it’s a lot! Doesn’t look like the axle was ever cleaned off…Overall, it really wasn’t that […]

A few days ago, I finally got the shipping notice on my Prinsu Rack for my 4th Gen 4Runner. I was so excited for it to come in so I’d have a good weekend project. I also have a transmission skid from RCI Offroad that would get installed too. Delivery day was here, and I heard a […]
I finally pulled the trigger on a new roof rack! I’ve been working with my Rola for a while now and it’s just too high profile, and I’ve found that I would much prefer a flat rack for all of my trips to Home Depot. The prinsu accomplished all of that at a great price […]
I wanted to take a moment to talk about RCI Offroad and the great experiences I’ve had with them over the past couple of years. First of all, they have great products. But they also have great customer service. I first gave them my business when I bought a fuel tank skid for my 5th Gen 4Runner. […]
