[@thatplace1]

Glad some people are handy with tools Awesome variety of views. Well done. Thanks for sharing and hope you have a fantastic day. Cheers and like

[@kidbeanss4259]

I like how you took off the fronts. It seems everyone likes the ball joint way but this seems way better

[@ColoradoMartini]

We always had 4Runners. But not anymore. They have always been good trucks for us. Great tutorial.

[@maxdexpeditions]

Thank you. They're very reliable but not good on gas, especially at today's prices. Have a good memorial day weekend!

[@Gmdtechinfo]

Wow So Really Nice 5th Gen 4Runner Old Man Emu lift install guide and Really Really Beautiful! Keep it up Good Job! Stay Connected! 😍😍😍🤗🤗🤗

[@PinnedonPlaces]

I know diddly squat about cars, but i love the way you edit MaxD! hehe, interesting to watch the process though, thanks for another great video! :)

[@mvstormyoneadventures]

very nice work, that is a big ob. nice to be able to do it yourself

[@SetForAdventures]

Exactly filmed tutorial my friend 😊👍 Many years ago I used to lower my springs strut in the front and leaf springs on the rear of my capri (great times) 😊👍 Best wishes Simon 😊👍

[@54DegreesNorth]

Hiya mate, a great vid, I mean it’s all over my head but you put it together so well. Makes for a real interesting video Catch you on the next 🥾⛰❤️

[@fluwoebers6927]

Thank you very much for this video. I used it last night to install an OME suspension system. It guided me perfectly until I realized that KDSS adds a few extra steps, but I figured it out.

[@maxdexpeditions]

No problem. Glad it helped you out.

[@ExploringwithWade]

Great guide I am sure this will be very helpful. Very easy to follow. Have a great day.

[@maxdexpeditions]

Thank you, same to you. Enjoy your weekend

[@OverlandPNW]

Oh yeah...love old an Emu! That's what I have on my 4Runner!

[@RodKrisBisdakMotovlog0627]

This is really awesome and interesting guide on it bro. It is very helpful vidz my friend.

[@TheNorthernReturn]

I love the quick warning about not touching the center nut on struts. I was a parts guy for years and you have no idea how many people will take them off without a spring compressor and almost lose an eye. Great advice in this video, especially about proper torquing. Awesome job, clean set up. :)

[@maxdexpeditions]

Thank you, and have a good day!

[@TodaysOutdoorAdventure]

Great editing and camera angles! Another great vid!

[@maxdexpeditions]

Thank you! Have a great weekend!

[@maridesu07]

[@maxdexpeditions]

[@crisalis]

Long time bro glad you uploaded again

[@fiveinitaly]

Superb video. Always enjoyable 👍👍👍👍👍

[@jinzCrochet]

Nice sharing MaxD:)

[@AdventuresAreOutThere]

Hey friends! Really love these videos, the sounds you capture while mechanic-ing are very relaxing for some reason to me. I see your prepping your vehicle, hopefully for another road trip coming up??? ;) Take care friends! - Melissa

[@maxdexpeditions]

Nothing major for road trips this year. Just slowly building it up. Thank you Melissa and friends!

[@Packsalot]

Well done on your repeat work. Cool video. Hope it works well for you. Ready to hit the trail with it! Have a great day.

[@maxdexpeditions]

Thank you! I am ready for the gas prices to go down lol. Have a good memorial day weekend!

[@FXWalesAnnaAlf]

You is so interesting Max. I'm guessing that this is you fixing the car? So good :) ~ Anna

[@maxdexpeditions]

Thank you, Anna. Yes, that's me-nothing to fix with the truck. I was “upgrading” the vehicle with a better suspension.

[@adventureswithmm3159]

This was a great video because I think I have a failed bearing at the top of my front strut in the right side and I really want to do it myself because it's so expensive, I'm a mechanical person just with HVAC, I can fix stuff bigger than a tractor trailer but don't usually work on my car . Thanks for sharing 👍🏻 This is just my other name I've been using to watch my most favorite channels 😀 We hope you have a great weekend 🙂✌🏻 Mark and Michelle

[@maxdexpeditions]

Thank you! I have never worked on cars, but I am trying to build some knowledge base and confidence, especially in remote places that we venture into. Have a good memorial day weekend!

[@RAMUJIRO]

It is amazing how one person can upgrade the suspension of a car.👍✨

[@introkoreawalkingtour4572]

Wow, that's great. I like this kind of video. I always support you. Thank you, my friend!

[@Pixics]

You make it look fun, like lego's. My problem is I forget what screw goes where and then I mess up. Terrible short term memory.

[@maxdexpeditions]

Thank you. I have the same problem. I make videos and write down the order of things.

[@Vinceventuring]

Man you are good with all your DIY work. I’m pleased with myself if I instal a seat cover 😂 great video ❤️

[@maxdexpeditions]

Thank you, just trying to learn as much as I can.

[@wanderingjean8593]

I am amazed at how you were able to place the nuts and bolts and determine the danger zones. Clean work! Hmm! I can't wait for what you're preparing the car for!😊

[@maxdexpeditions]

Thank you, Jean. I am preparing to stay at home. Gas prices are too high 😆

[@TravelingTramps]

Enjoyed watching the install. Now you can bring more toys! Planning a trip?

[@maxdexpeditions]

Thank you, Dave and Kathy. I hope you all are well. Yes, planning. We just need our schedules to align. Take care ❤️

[@nicorom]

Wowwww great job & nice video sharing friend. Thanks for sharing this video and take me along you too. Have a great day and stay connected 👍👌💯🔔

[@graceescapes4637]

Great job! Another great technical work with your car ...shots really look clear and detailed. This would really be helpful for those who like to maintain their cars on their own. I guess you're preparing it for another great adventure :-) Thanks for sharing and have a great week!

[@maxdexpeditions]

Thanks, Grace! Have a great week as well

[@lovekriztinii3362]

Great job brother!

[@LayilaFaon]

[@AyenIwata]

Napaladetalyado ng paggawa mo kuya, I wonder kung paano mo nakukunan ng shot ang bawat anggulo. Ready na ulit si buddy sa next adventure nyo 😁

[@adventureawaits5003]

[@NaomisAdventures]

Good video

[@openmindedwonderer]

[@Yoyomanmanholla]

Hmm so no need to deal with spring compressor!? This looks easy

[@maxdexpeditions]

No, I did not for this installation.

[@OutlastOverland]

Nice and clean 👌 👍

[@maxdexpeditions]

Thanks man 🤙🏼

[@kamperempobezdrozach-bozen9271]

Good, very good.

[@Pixics]

How did you record the inside of your wheel like that. I wish I had the skills to fix up my car like that.

[@maxdexpeditions]

I use a clip and a flexible monopod. This is my first time. I just KZbin everything lol

Hi

[@jerryjimenez8248]

How’s this kit? You like how it is? I’m probably gonna get a 3in lift kit I’m excited,do you think I have to get after market control arms if I go that high? Is the 2in good?

[@maxdexpeditions]

The kit is good for our light to moderate off-roading needs. I like it, and it doesn't break the bank. You'll probably have problems passing alignment with a 3-inch lift without aftermarket UCA. But I have known a few who rock their OEM uca offroad for 30k miles up with no issues.

[@DaJuan94]

Here bro, have a nice day:)

[@chadw.6049]

How are you liking the ride? Did you stay with stock size 265 tires or move to 285s? Did you keep stock UCAs?

[@maxdexpeditions]

I like it. The ride is firm. It depends on your usage and personal preference. It rides great with my drawers and all the weight, but now that I'm driving it empty, I feel every bump. I kept the stock 265, and I'm still rocking the stock UCA. I don't think you need to upgrade those for a 2-inch lift, although it will help with the ride quality and alignment. If I do it again, I want to try the Dobinsons IMS for a few dollars more. These rust quickly if you use them on trails.

[@chadw.6049]

Maybe if switched to 895 rear springs and 60080 shocks would not be as harsh? You mean you found the OME shocks to show signs of rust? If get I was considering spraying them with corrosion free or fluid film.

[@maxdexpeditions]

@@chadw.6049 You can check the site “mudify.com” for their weight rating suggestions. I got the heavy ones all around, but it was a smooth ride with my 200lb drawer, roof rack, tent, and all the gears we carry. Now we moved places, and I left all my equipment, so the heavy-duty springs feel super stiff with the stock weight, but I like it that way. Your preference might be different. I think the rocks on all the washboards we’ve been through chipped the powder coat plus the mud caused the rusts. I apply fluid film now yearly.

[@chadw.6049]

If I get the OME shocks I’m considering the rock guard protectors they sell.
