Lower control arm rebuild Thanks for the detailed write-up on the lower control arm rebuild. Being on the west coast, the ones I worked on barely had any rust (the image shows them without any painting, just some basic cleaning). Pressing out the old bushings turned out to be the easiest part...

I have heard mixed reports so would love to get confirmation from someone who is actually running 255/80/17. 255/75/17 fit fine with the V6 and the standard hitch.

I assume this is way too late but if you are still interested let me know. Sent from my LM-G820 using Tapatalk

For those of you running 255/80/17, does the spare still fit underneath? I am currently on 255/75/17 BFG KO2 (like the tires a lot, especially that they are load range C, have almost 50k on them) but I am thinking about going a size up the next time. Don't have a rear bumper at the moment so...

Alternatively you can get one of these Amazon.com: Cllena Quick Charge 3.0 Dual USB Port Charger Socket for Toyota: Electronics for the center console and connect it to an always on spot in the fuse block using an add-a-fuse. I have both. Having your vehicle on ACC definitely uses a lot more...

The full time 12V mod below solves the issues be provided constant 12v power to all outlets. Well worth the 10 min it takes and you can charge devices over night without running the battery low. Toyota 4Runner Constant Full Time 12V Power Outlet Mod Sent from my LM-G820 using Tapatalk

Thanks for the input. Will order some ATF WS fluid and probably do a drain and fill or two while under there. I am familiar with the temperature fluid level check so will follow that procedure. As for the orientation, according to B&M upright is ok, down is not recommended. The upright position...

I am in the process of installing a Hayden 678 transmission cooler in line with the radiator. Will I need to add ATF fluid to make up for fluid lost and extra volume of new cooler and lines? Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk

Looking great, planing on doing something similar. Where did you get it laser cut for that price? How did you make the mounting feet. Any more details on those?

RCC2.0 definitely too weak for your weight. I ditched them because I was constantly hitting my bump stops off-road fully loaded with camping gear. I now have Icon Overland dual rated springs and love them. Feel good empty and fully loaded. But they give about 3" empty (no rear bumper) Sent from...

I got White Knuckle and I am very happy with them, very similar to the design you showed. Bolt on. Put some grip tape on top and they work great as steps. Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk

Yes, I thought of that option as Plan B.

I it saw that the boot that covers the wiring harness for the rear door is falling apart. Does anyone know what the part number is and how to replace it?

Great job! How much did you have to bend the mounting feet? Seems the only part that might be a bit hard without access to a press. Any chance you have a picture of the finished feet?

The nice things about the 4th gen 4runners is that you can unlock the center diff and drive around in 4wd on pavement at any speed. I always use H4 with the center diff unlocked in snow, on dirt roads and even in rainy conditions. It is pretty much like a Subaru that way! Now if you do have a...
