No, I can try to get some though, but have been very busy lately.

I missed the days of having cable controlled throttle bodies for that instant response, hydraulic assisted steering for feeling the road, rowing through the gears in a manual car with solid shift linkages and not cables, knowing what every electrical connector did in the engine bay, and being...

I put one of them AVS bug deflectors on the new 5th gen 4runner I traded my old 5th gen for. I don't know if it's helping the windshield or not but for sure it's protecting the front edge of my hood. I didn't have one on my old 5th Gen and a pickup truck with no mudflaps threw a rock at the...

I came upon a video of a guy doing 0-60 tests in a Tundra. For the tests, he would launch in 4hi and turn the knob to 2hi at ~20mph going full throttle. Maybe you can try that. :laser:

The mudflaps? Check my sig. I have replaced the front mud flaps with the same rear mudflaps in my write up.

This got me thinking about if there is a way of sending full power to the high beam housings when the projector shields are dropped to highbeam on the 2021s. I miss the incredible halogen high beams on the pre-bi-led 4runners.

New wheels and rubber! 17 inch FN Six Shooters and 265/70r17 BFG Trail Terrains. Loving the new stance of the wheels and mall crawler sidewalls of the Trail Terrains.

Here are some pics of my new FN six shooters and 265/70r17 Trail Terrains. Loving the stance of the wheels and non-plain looking sidewalls of the new tires. The reasons I went with the Trail Terrains: Light weight: listed as 38 lbs on BFG website for 265/70r17 Full depth sipes: I'm not into...

The Geolanders are the G96B model. There's definitely a hum to the wild peaks when compared to stock.. not mud terrain hum territory but definitely present. I've had km3 mud terrains on a tacoma before too and those were the definition of highway hum. The wild peaks don't reach those levels and...

Road noise is slightly louder than my stock geolanders. I can also "feel" the tread blocks at times when traveling at slow speeds, but this is coming from me getting used to the smooth factory tires most likely. I've also had Cooper at3 4s and falken wild peaks on a previous 5th gen 4runner...

No pics yet. I'll snap some tomorrow. I have a Limited so went from the 20" rims and stock geolanders to 17" FN six shooters with the 265/70r17 trail terrains. No rubbing with the 0 offset wheels! The trail terrains have a more round profile than square. Steering feels lighter. Might be...

How do you like them so far? I'm getting the same tires put on tomorrow. Only thing that scares me about them is the closed shoulders but I read somewhere that most water is evacuated thorough the vertical grooves. Not sure about snow since I live in the snow belt. Guess we'll see. I got them...

The trim kit is probably 2 pieces of paper that the techs put over the front fender liners to let them know where to cut and make new holes. May also involve trimming a little of the front bumper cover. It is to my knowledge that TRD Pros have to have the fender liner mod and bumper trim done...

If switching to a -10mm (or even more negative), 0mm, 4mm offset from the 15mm offset of Limited and TRD Premiun wheels most will likely need to do the fender liner mod with stock tires (265/70r-17) This is a non issue with the 4runner Pros since Toyota has already done the fender liner mod to...
