    New rims!

    Nice Wheels! I have the SCS Ray 10's with the 8.5 offset, Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT's in 285/70. I also have a and Ironman Foam Cell suspension lift which works out to be about 3" in the front. I've done the fender liner mod and removed the front mud flap. I get some rubbing in full...

    Quick ? On tires

    I agree with others - My 265/70/17 KO2's were a good tire and lasted 80K miles but their performance in the rain wasn't that great. After a lift and SCS 8.5 Ray 10's I put on 285/70 Cooper AT3 XLTs With an E raiting. After 1000 miles couldn't be happier. I went back and forth between the...

    OG 5th Gen 10-13 models

    Eight years and 120,000 miles driven and I still love my 2010 TE as much as the day I bought it. A few months back I contemplated upgrading to a new 4Runner but really couldn't find a reason to. Well - maybe if I could find one in that burnt orange color :wow2:

    Window lock stuck after battery change...please read.

    No, Fuses are a yes or no thing - Either you've blown a fuse or not. Are you absolutely 100% sure that you did the normalization procedure correctly? Did you go to each individual window switch (not from the master on the drivers side) and do the procedure? Did you hold the window in the...

    New wheels...

    IMHO..... Old school wheels like that need to have a lift and much, much bigger tires to look good. I'm not being a Richard, but you need about 3 more inches and 35''s to make your rig look sexy Size matters...

    Upgrading to Fox TRD Pro Suspension... any other parts I should replace?

    If you have KDSS, replace the rubber bushings - they're about $8 each and you might as well do them when you unhook the KDSS sway bar during the suspension install.

    Updating (2010-13) Trail trim pieces from gray to painted

    It's funny - Many people with 2010 -13 SR5's tried to ADD the TE black trim to their rigs to emulate the Trail Edition look. Have you tried to refurbish the black trim? I had to replace a bit of the rear fender well molding last spring and the rest of the trim was a bit dingy compared to...

    Any part numbers for the “Trail” edition cooler yet?

    For $650 it better make ice and give a happy ending.

    Any issues disconnecting the battery?

    Ya, it's the strangest thing and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it happening. I've disconnected my battery a bunch of times for various reasons and never had the issue. Last month I disconnected the battery to install LED interior lights. The install took me about an hour (the map...

    Ironman Foam Cell Pro

    After 1000 miles including a 500 mile road trip down the Oregon coast and a bit of overlanding, I really like my Ironman suspension. My 4runner feels much more "planted" on the road and corners way better than the stock suspension. Side question.... Did you buy or build your overland...

    Any issues disconnecting the battery?

    You may need to re-set your your power windows. How To Fix 4runner Automatic Windows After Replacing Battery - YouTube I disconnected my battery and and spent a week chasing gremlins until I did the reset.

    Recommendation for a portable air compressor and air down gauge

    That's an interesting set-up. I have a SCUBA compressor so for day trips I'll usually just bring along a 19cf bottle which gets my 285/70/17 tires from 20 - 35 psi (barely). For a weekender I use a 40 cf bottle which gets me through two air-ups. Air-ups are fast but storage space in my...

    Clearance Height?

    I have that exact set-up with a regular Gobi rack (not stealth) and fit into my two car garage with about 3 inches to spare.
