    Let me see your winch set ups!

    I went with the Warn VR Evo 10K Synthetic. Mounted the control box on the right side just behind the bumper.

    Best Snorkel for 5th Gen 4Runner - Safari vs Dobinson vs FTS

    The air box has a drain hole in it so if water does get sucked in, it will drain there. Now I know if you are getting a snorkel for water crossings then it would only make sense to plug this hole. For me, I don't plan on major water crossings, but want a snorkel for cleaner air. Where I go...

    Time for new brakes. Input wanted.

    I have the Power Stop Z36 rotors/pads. Huge difference and would recommend them. Just not sure about how long they will last compared to OEM.

    "Multi-Terrain Select Not Available" + Check Engine Light + TRAC OFF

    Bad wheel sensor/wheel sensor wiring is a possibility. I am more impressed with the fact that you only have 40k on a 7 year old truck :)

    Rigid UltraSwing for 5th Gen 4Runner - Anyone using it?

    Yea that $100 bucks for "previous customers" is still steep in my mind to upgrade a latch that works perfectly fine..

    Yet another 4Runner wheel balance problem...

    You forgot changing out the gearing... seriously. I have dealt with this issue through multiple tires and sizes. Re-geared about a month ago and no steering vibration at any speed at all - gone. Coincidence? Who knows, but I have seen countless posts on steering vibrations from every tire and...

    5th Gen Spotted Thread

    I would have the same problem here in Boise, ID. I would estimate 1 out of 3 4Runnners and 1 out of 2 Tacos has some kind of mod.

    Awesome video! But I have to laugh at how easy that tie rod end came off with just one tap of a hammer....

    Mpg Mods?

    The "remove all your mods" mod should do the trick.

    My new 2014 Trail... Build Thread?

    Looks good! I have a 2014 Trail w/ KDSS like yours. Agree that all the horror stories about putting a lift on a KDSS equipped 4Runner is mainly smoke. The rear is pretty straightforward (just put my 3rd set of springs in). The front gets alot easier with the use of ratchet straps.

    SCS ray10 with -38 offset

    Cut everything! BMC, trim plastic/fender, more aggressive BMC, trip plastic/fender again, relocate windshield wiper fluid reservoir, new front bumper that allowed clearance in the front, -38 offset to keep tires off of the UCA's, UCA's to offer better caster, 1" BL, etc. And I am still...

    KDSS 5th gen suspension AND body lift????

    Spacer lifts go on the suspension which is different than a body lift. I have had no issues with doing a 1" body lift.
