Hey everyone, So I am looking to install one of these in my 4Runner. Big Sky Rack Here is my situation. I would like to mount this on the roof of the 4Runner. I would need to go thru the headliner and into the reinforcing cross members along the roof. I'm assuming those cross members are...

truck looks great! would you mind posting specs of lift, tire size, trim fenders or not to fit tires/eliminate rubbing at full flex. thanks! And Congrats!

Thanks for the info and opinions everyone. I think I will try the DS 2.5 kit and then eventually move to a TT Ultimate kit one I get more use out of the new XREAS.

Hey everyone, SO, I purchased a new to me Certified Pre-owned 05 SE 4.7 with 60k mi in June 2011. She ran great, I took her on a very mild trail run @ around 64k mi(just enough to check function of DAC, Center locker and XREAS). It turned out that the original XREAS was leaking bad on front...

I agree In AZ (and a few other states), you are not required to retreat from a threat if you are in your home or vehicle. Of course, every situation is different, but, if I choose to not let some degenerate carjack me and choose to defend my property I am within the laws of AZ to do so...

not sure what happend to the 2nd pic, but here it is

Haven't tested it off-road yet. Its really not made to go bashing into stuff or taking the weight of the vehicle, but I leaned and pulled on it with little flex if at all. an accidental slip off a rock while off-road should'nt be a problem. It does reduce approach angles somewhat, but its...

sorry for the delay everyone. Heres a few quick pics I snapped of the finished product. The powdercoat is a semi-gloss black. Light tabs are an option. Ted, let Brandon know that I am waiting on a buddy who is a photographer to get pics for the website. He's being kind of a bi**ch about...

if you are speaking in terms of how many miles you will get out of the engine, I believe that premium could hurt but not kill. How? Well, the excess build up caused from un-burned air/fuel mixture will definitely cause premature wear on valves, cat converters, exhaust manifold etc. In the end...

From my experience with using premium (91+) vs regular (87), it is my understanding that the premium is designed to ignite at a higher temperature. So, if your engine is not a high compression/high temp running engine, premium is a waste of money as you are not completely burning the air/fuel...

you could also find a local off-road fabrication shop that makes bumpers/sliders etc and see what they can do for custom stuff. For low-speed bump protection, a properly reinforced light bar/customized version could fit the bill plus, you get to have a say in the actual design of it AND...

Wow! :wow: you run 50psi?!?!!? Factory suggested is 32psi. Granted, you did size up a tire, but still dunno if I would run that high of psi even with mostly city driving. Tires look good. If you take the Spidertrax off, will that help with rubbing issues? What kind of lift do you have? I...

Hi All, The light bar is out for powder coat and will be ready by end of next week. Thanks to all the hard work from Avid Off-Road. Its good to see small businesses doing great things for the masses. I hope that the product development becomes a huge success for Avid. These guys are...

UPDATE: I just got off the phone with the dealer about the alignment not being listed on the work order. Service advisor stated he was told warranty group and tech said no alignment was required for XREAS. I smell doo-doo....I have never heard that an alignment was unneccesary when...

Again, thanks to everyone here! So, I got the truck back, checked the components, and everything is new, some existing lines looked like they were re-used, but the majority of the parts are brand new. I had my doubts, but the dealer did make good on the warranty. However, it was my...
