OME installed on 5th gen SR5 in march 2017 I put on the OME 2884 springs in the front (390MM) and 889s in the rear (390MM) today and it took my 2011 SR5 up 2.75" in the front and 3" in the rear. I have BFG K2O2s 275/70/17 with stock wheels and they rubbed the front wheel well with the steering...

Headlight upgrade works great I did this on my 2011 4Runner tonight and it works great. I did not tell my wife and she said,"it seems like the headlights got brighter". Would highly recommend. I took out the battery to make the drivers side easier to change.

Stock BFG All-Terrain LT265/70 R17 Rubbing I purchased 4 LT265/70R17 (stock) BFG All Terrains and the front driver side rubs on the inside when i am at full right turn. Any one else have this issue? Is the resolution to trim the front wheel well plastic?

Mounting How and where would you suggest the best place to mount these lights

Someone on this forum added a 3rd row to their trail edition. Do a search. These guys do 4 runners, but their website only says through 2009 Third Row Seating Suv, Suv 3rd Seat, Toyota 4Runner 3rd Row Seat, 3rd Row Seat For A Ford Explorer, 3rd Row Expedition Seat I bought an SR5 with the...

Has anyone put a light bar on their baja rack for the 5th gen? I saw a 3rd gen, but wanted to see a 5th. I spoke with KC, and they said as long as i go with long range lights, i won't get glare on the hood. I have the regular rack, I thought about ordering the longer one that Harper and...

If your trailer has electric brakes, get a controller - Primus IQ, etc. Your biggest problem will be stopping. Surge brakes suck, so if it was my trailer and i only had surge brakes, i probably wouldn't do it. I would go in the MIDDLE of the night and go slow and you should be fine. You aren't...

Trailer towing Seems to be a lot of questions today about towing. I have a 2011 SR5 and put in a tranny cooler and tranny temp gauge. I have towed a 3400lb boat + 1100lb trailer and some gear - so right at 5,000lbs, the max allowed. The 4runner pulled it fine, and the tranny temps were fine...

LOOKS AWESOME! How much was it? Do you get any "noise" at fwy speeds?

I have the same thing. "Twang" is a good name for the sound. Happens when I shift from reverse to drive. I was going to ask the service guys when i take it in for 5k service in a week or 2. Anyone else know what the sound is.

I will try that as well. I bought my 5th gen in late 2010 and XM is still working fine. I have been receiving letters from XM saying "you must be missing your XM radio by now", and I just laugh. When they finally do get around to shutting it off, I will go for the $20 deal.

I put it in 4L and it idled out of the water. So, super easy.

I towed a boat this weekend - 2008 Reinell 207 LS. 3,380 empty weight + 1,102lb trailer + 240lbs of gas +100lbs of gear in boat = 4,822. In the car I had me = 200, my wife = 120, my two toddlers = 50 and 40 and tubes, ice chest, etc. so probably 550lbs I installed a B&M tranny cooler and an...

GVWR, etc I have a GVWR question regarding the 5th Gen. I am looking on the toyota site and comparing the Tacoma and 4 runner - same engine and tranny - for towing purposes. The 5th Gen curb weight is 4675. The Tacoman is 4155. So 520lbs. The 5th Gen GVWR is 6300, the Tacoma - 5450. So does...

tranny cooler mount Here is where I mounted the gauge. Everything else is EXACTLY as Mike G mounted his. The temp sensor is mounted where mike "painted" his hot line coming out of his tranny. BTW - my tranny temps are 160-165 in town and 140-148 on the freeway. Also, the line is 10MM. So...
