Decided to move my shit to it's own thread because it's specific to 4th gen 4runners. While the shock thread has good info and that info in general may be repeated, I thought it would be best to have one specific to the 4th gen since there just isn't any info on the net. Other 4th gens may find this info down the line.

Reserved for off-road station wagon jokes.

Tis fine. But most of the tuning info I'm finding is for Tacoma. Nobody actually tunes for the dirt they're running, so maybe we can enlighten.

Guys that rode the short bus. I’m not a window licker.

Anymore.
Thank for the tread D. Now get your shit figured out so I can copy it.

Indeed. Working on it. Dunno how this is going to translate for icon though because they're a digressive shock and the tuning is wildly different.

then quit fucking around with icon's bullshit and come over to the bling side. I get the challenge but man, could be challenged with better products.

which would you rather do, solve world peace with a woman in one arm and drink in the other or with your wedding tackle caught between two 40grit belt sanders?

I do however have a set of icons that I'm going to rebuild for the Tacoma. I'll post my finding on that in another thread.
