I was looking at getting some bj spacers for my truck. I emailed Barbara at trdparts4u.com and she says the spacers for the 2000 4runner will work. Can anyone verify this? They're only 99.99 on trdparts4u.com vs 120 through rodger brown/SDORI

send frank an email and ask him... i bet you if that is correct, and you tell them that they are cheaper somewhere else, that they might pricematch.....

 

Who's Frank? Sorry...

 

Frank is from sdor. He is on here as elripster. He is the one that came up with making the spacers

 

I've never seen ball joint spacers for the 3rd gens and Tacomas. Usually there folks use something along the lines of coil spring spacers up from for lift. Otherwise, is there a picture online for the 2000 "ball joint spacers".

 

yeah i was thinking it wasnt the same as the bj spacers are for torsion bar lifted trucks.....

 

TRDPARTS4U.com has a photo, go to 4 Runner, 2000, Misc, SDORI bj spacers.
(I'd link to it but the site doesn't allow a single frame)


I just emailed sales@sdori.com asking about the fit. I'll let everyone know what they say.

 

All I found there were rear spacers for the 2000 4runner for $80, no BJ spacers.

 

I just went back to double check and their site is definately messed up. Their copyright signiture gets in the way of the parts listing. The part that says

This is evident if you click one of the other options above misc, you can see a half cut off line. It wasn't like that this morning (maby its because I'm on my GF's computer)

 

Ah figured out how to find em:

Click Search, and select part #, type in BJS2000, click ok

 

according to the SDORI website, the BJ spacers are only for trucks, 4runners and T100's up to 1995.

 

that $119 includes shipping. assuming you buy them for $99, they may add on a handling fee and a shipping fee making it no cheaper.

 

Dan e-mailed me about this and I sent TRDparts an e-mail letting them know of the confusion. Hopefully they'll update the web site.

Unfortuantely you can't lift the newer trucks with a lift like this because the a-arm is very different.

They do have a good price though, I'd take advatage of it if I were you!

Frank

 

When I went to the checkout screen there wasn't a charge for shipping. I'll be ordering mine tommorow. I'd also like to thank Frank for his help.

 

No sweat! That's what I'm here for. I got a response from TRDparts, they are going to update the site so all should be well.

Frank

 

Thanks Frank for jumping in and helping with this. Part of the confusion was the part # itself. We will change that today. Second problem is they are listed in our Misc. section and we should have put "fits 2nd Generation 4Runners and '95 and earlier IFS trucks". We apologize for the confusion this has caused.

 

Are the spacers the same for the first and second generation runners? The TRD parts webpage says they fit second generation runners but i thought they were the same as the first gens as well.

 

the spacers should also fit the first gen runners too, but only 86+

however both are for the 4x4 models only..... i know there are second gen 4x2 4runners but i am not sure if these spacers will fit...

i do know that the 4x2 trucks from 85 to @ least 89 (when the body style changed) do not have a bj spacer available... yet... frank is working on making some

 

Yes they will fit 1st Generation as well.
