Nfab nerf bars/step,
285/70R17 tires on Mickey Thompson wheels,
1½" leveling spacer on top of the strut.
I live in (very) rural Arizona. The majority of our roads vary from washboard dirt to undeveloped. All have washes crossing them, some extremely large.
My drive to work (1-2 times per week) is one mile of washboard, cross 2 washes. Then ¾ mile of paved County road (2 more washes), to 18 miles of State highway (65 mph).
I bought the T4R for commute to work and exploring trails on my days off. Also, temperatures here range from 20's for a week or so in winter to over 100 for 6 months, a month over 120.
I'm not looking to conquer obstacles, trying to see how tough the Toyota is. I'm not pre-running open desert. Just exploring, slowly, but willing to 'push it a bit'.
I will be going full steel skids. SSO bumper, add the 'wings' if/when I damage the front corners. Moving the spare to a receiver carrier. Replace the nerfs for sliders if needed.
So what do you suggest? I'm thinking remote reservoir shock because of the roads and ambient heat, especially on play days at the very least.
Here's a video of my street and a cross street. Very typical if not one of the nicer spots. There are many that are much less maintained.
