Missed this coming in. Still rocking the fender washers, lol! And I tow a couple of jet skis many times a season which, with cargo, is loaded down in the back. Still working well.

I did an advanced search and couldn’t find my issue exactly. I have 90k miles on 16 TEP. Over the last few months, I’ve noticed a difference in my stall speed. That’s the best term I can think of. Essentially, when I let off the brake in either drive or reverse, the vehicle will barely move...

Haven’t done much Offroad. Busy with other things... Where I have had it off road it has done well in mud and mild rocky trails. Still pretty quiet on road and they drive smooth. Hasn’t affected mileage as much as I though they would considering the difference in general power and acceleration...

They worked great. Only on rare occasions did I feel like they affected ride like going over bumps or something. Definitely helped support heavier loads and tongue weight. Great alternative to airbags but may not be as good in every situation. My issue, I have since lifted my 4 Runner so now it...

Sorry, been away for a few weeks. Lot going on… The only thing I did was remove the mud flaps. No BMC and no fender liner moving. It doesn’t rub anywhere. I think a more aggressive tire may be closer… I used a heat gun to warp the mud flaps. I haven’t put them back on yet to see if that fixed...

I just remembered Bilstein actually makes a spring they say is the actual factory 186lb spring rate and 1.5” lift on 4WD…. Bilstein B12 (Special) For 2010-2021 Toyota 4Runner 2" Rear Coil Springs

I would buy some cheap spacers and see what you think. It will at the very least buy you some time and it would only take a couple of hours at the most…

If you like the feel in the back, go with spacers. I think factory rate is like 180ish and aftermarket tend to be 220ish for “no additional constant weight”. What are you planning to do up front?

Which aftermarket camera did you get?

Based on your original post, drive the new 4Runner for a while before you do anything. KDSS 4Runners definitely have different driving characteristics. They still have nose dive but not quite as bad but they handle better for sure. If nose dive bothers you, a simple shock upgrade is all you need...

That answers my question. Mine has the factory style rubber bushings, not poly. I’ll retorque.

I hate to create new threads… but couldn’t find this anywhere. It has been my practice to not tighten anything with a rubber bushing (such as lower shock bolts) until the vehicle is on the ground. If not, you’re “loading” your bushings by just putting it on the ground. You should torque them...

Watch the video. He shows where he relocated it. Approx 2:18 into the vid.

I think that cult following started back years ago when they were much cheaper than the competition which put their value through the roof. Now, the price has crept up to pretty much the same as General and Toyo… So now it’s a much tougher choice to go with them…

Stock size SL are no where close to being light. I wish I weighed mine before I put them on back in Jan of 17, but on paper they are 7 lbs heavier (39lbs vs 46lbs) than OEM. I just put on SL 285/70-17 Toyo OC AT3 and they weigh only 1lb more at 47lbs. (Scale said 46.7). I will admit the Falken...
