4WD Service I just learned something by actually reading the manual after 25k miles of standard service. My Tucson dealer is great and professional BTW. If you do a decent amount of off-road (in 4wd) there are added items that need to be done at certain intervals. These added items do not pop...

Icon I have the stage 2 on a 2016 Trail. After initial install I added the remote res. up front with adjust-ability Added Icon hydraulic bump stops in the rear for those occasional surprises off-road when loaded. Remote reservoirs are really only needed when you are working the shocks at...

TrueCar buying service I used that service when buying my 2106 Trail/KDSS. Tucson. Ended up going to Sierra Vista about 1.5 hours away as the local Toyota dealers wanted to play games but not Sierra Toyota, where I had to drive. The final price was agreed upon BEFORE I hopped in the car. You...

Icon I have a Stage 2 and one went with about 15K miles on it. It was right after a trip where I went thru some fine and deep mud. I did not power wash that until days later. I think that was the culprit. I was not happy. I am at 25K now.

Escalante Headed there the end of Sept. ( a bit warm) on the way to Telluride and Silverton Area (great weather then). Going from Bad Water Ut. to Escalante and then east.The Kelly Grade is in the middle. Roads look easy but side tails may provide some more varied terrain. This was based on a...

Icon coilovers for sale (5th gen) I have a pair of Icon coil overs (extended travel) for sale. 10,000 miles. Just got one serviced as a seal leaked. I was told when I bought the Stage 2 kit for my 2016 Trail that I could upgrade to remote reservoirs with dial adjustment. I thought I would do...

Stay with the TRD-PRO - if you don't get into the rocks a lot you don't need KDSS and the Pro gives a smoother highway ride. I have the Trail but I wanted a different suspension and tires than the PRO along with KDSS. The Pro will do better on Washboards than the trail too. Remember to air down...

I recommend the following passes to have less traffic and equal if not better views. Stony Pass and back - if you go over - it's a long way 'round California Corkscrew Red Mountain Pass to Brown Mountain past the Brooklyn Mine (East side of 550) or in reverse (access North of Silverton)...

I have exactly the same issue - ideally the steering wheel would extend another 1" or 2. Arm fatigue is an issue. Maybe just a custom made one from a local upholstery shop when you bring in a piece of foam that has the right cushion and then you carve it to shape. Then let a pro wrap it. Ideally...

I am coming from a Yukon. The 4runner is as long and deep just not as wide. I am 6'3" and added a full length Baja Rack. This is the truck for a family for an overlander and for getting groceries. I thought about a Sequoia -and did not want the added Soccer Mom effect nor the lack of 4wd ability.

Great video quality- and yes you can go a LOT deeper - just not in fast water. You can go that deep in mud. When the water comes over your hood - THEN you might be pushing it. Might. Then it';s snorkel time.

2016 TE silver roof rails and Crossbars. Got the truck - immediately pulled them off and put a Baja Rack on., The truck was not custom ordered hence I got the cross rails as well. If $200 plus shipping sounds good - PM me. Tom

I have Stage 2. Sure I would have wanted stage 3-7 if I felt I could put that much money in one category of a build. I wanted other items - from tires and lights and racks and... ALL to be less that the stage 6 or 7 on it's own. After driving the new 2016 TE for a while along with 2 off road...

2016 TE. Just swapped from factory to Icon Stage 2 with tubular UCA's. Plenty of lift. Ever so slightly firmer ride than stock. Handles better. Only one off-road trip so far and the Icon's liked everything from rollers to high speed washboard to a 4WD LO rocks and loose sand in washes. I do...

The Sprint Booster web site installation instructions shows a simple module install at the top of the gas pedal. But on the first page it shows a wired button (Stock, sport and race) So where is the "Button" wired to?
