    Offroad drivetrain durability as tire size increases

    Please continue to add input into this thread. Love to hear your experiences, even if it's just to add a vote to the poll. Especially those folks who are running 35"+ sized tires since there's so little info in that area currently.

    How many miles on your 4runner?

    Haha! Facepalm. Thanks.

    How many miles on your 4runner?

    We’re at 19,500 miles on our 2019. Bought at 8500 miles in 2021, so what is that, about 5500-6000 per year? :) 16 years to 100,000 miles at that rate.

    Low-mile 2019 TRD offroad: so far so awesome.

    Our “super-stock” build on 2.5” Dobinson lift and 33’s vs. stock rig:

    Low-mile 2019 TRD offroad: so far so awesome.

    Well, it's been a while since I've put an update up on the site - been uber busy with not much down-time between holidays, trips and family events. (Also, had a health scare with a family member that consumed our tribe for about a month and a half - we're finally normalizing after that) Some...

    Heavy Duty Lower rear links

    Haven't been on the site in a while - just livin' life in a very busy season for us. Small update that I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the Rokmen lower links. MAN, they are BEEFY compared to the stock units. Very nicely made with a quality powdercoat. I also feel very good about...

    Trail Gear Trail creeper 2.8/4.7 crawl box

    wow! So sorry to hear that! Ours was installed in December and has been driven almost daily on short drives and all over So-Cal on a few road trips. I'd say it has about 1500-2000 miles on it since X-mas time. No leaks, no problems, so far. We've put it in Low-Low a dozen times around our...

    Might still have mine kicking around. I’ll have a look tomorrow.

    Replace an 11-Year-Old Radiator Before It Fails?

    Ahh, you got me with a necro-thread. :) Welcome to the forum. yeah there are some anti-spam rules in place, i think. I'll second JDM's response, the the radiator is pretty far back from the front bumper - just the upper shroud, skid and some surrounding bits should do it. Even if you had to...

    Replace an 11-Year-Old Radiator Before It Fails?

    OP, just to make sure I understand: 1. your radiator seems to be working fine 2. your cooling system seems to be working fine 3. your worry is about damaging your motor from sudden coolant loss, and are thinking about pro-actively replacing this particular part. 4. You then switch to talking...

    Offroad drivetrain durability as tire size increases

    yeah, thanks for the further details. I've definitely been mulling this option over in my head, including while my wife and I worked on some mods this weekend. (Marlin Crawler shifter boot install, iPAD mini mount for onXoffroad use, prep for C4 rear diff skid install, roof rack gear setup, etc)...

    Offroad drivetrain durability as tire size increases

    Ahhh, thanks! I just re-read it. Didn’t see the stock option. And i also saw that i was choosing the most expensive option with gusseted, reamed and hubbed spindles. The steering setup alone is $1700-ish with just some work needed on your stock spindles. Or u can buy theirs reamed out for...

    Offroad drivetrain durability as tire size increases

    Interesting idea with that tundra rack. Caveat is that you have to be running a long travel setup, if i’m reading their site info right? Those seem to be up around $3-4k parts and labor.

    Offroad drivetrain durability as tire size increases

    Thanks for the parts failure details. Helpful for sure. Here's my thought on that - there has to be a happy medium between the stock noodle tie rods and the $10-15k it takes to install a heavy duty rock crawling IFS system. I've seen a few instances of sleeves to cover tie rods and add some...
