Any updates on fuel mileage after a couple of months? With the price increases, the Falkens aren't as attractive any more...

Have the balance issues tended to be in any particular size or load rating? Trying to make a decision on the C-load 275s or stepping up a bit more to the SL 285s

Michael, do you have any weights for your wheels? Specifically, the zero offset RR4 and RR5?

Finally installed! Back in early January, I asked Mike@Dobinsons for some recommendations. I wanted a slight lift, wasn't concerned about eliminating the rake, and wanted an on-road ride at least as good as stock. Usage was mostly on-road/highway, with Forest Service and Ranch roads, light...

Got any shots from the front/quartering? Just trying to see the extension.

Thanks, folks. Looks like it does indeed have the remote start.

Thanks. I have the same sticker, just wasn't sure how to confirm it. I'll try the key again after the household wakes up. Not all of us have a 30 year military internal clock that refuses to reset!

My new-to-me Trail will likely never see a situation where sliders are needed. If it does, the Amp retractable running boards I intend to put on will be destroyed :) My 4Runner isn't going to be a pavement queen, but it probably won't go much further than forest service roads and the...

So... I just picked up a 2013 Trail edition used. The original build sheet says a remote start was added at the port, but the place I bought it from (a Mini dealer) knew nothing about it. Tried hitting the lock button 3 times, no result. How do I figure out if the vehicle actually has a...

LOL, if anyone is looking, I'm actually selling a 2005 Forester 5spd that I'm moving to make room for my 2013 TE. I know the Subie is better on gas, and certainly less effort in the snow. Ground clearance isn't bad, carrying capacity is great, but it can't tow my boat or ATVs, and can't quite...

Thanks for posting the pics--just ordered the same set-up, can't wait to install it. And thanks Mike for the quick email response on my questions!

Checking in over in CDA. Doesn't look like a lot of Eastern WA/Idaho folks. Who is hiding?

The 4Runner Vortex has sucked me back in. Long time member, although I have not visited in several years. Previous 4R was a 2006 SR5 that moved on several years ago to make room for a towable POS Tracker for use with the motorhome. Just picked up a Salsa Red 2013 Trail Edition w/KDSS and Nav...

Jon, Thanks much for the info. Having been an aviator and flight instructor for 25 years, I never worry about patronizing--any knowledge is good. I knew very well I should have lined it up better than I did before I started it, but thought a little tap would get it started fine. That's what...

Yep, really was the panhard rod, where it attaches to the axle on the driver's side. I may not have had to release it, but I felt it would make the axle drop easier for getting the FJ springs in place. Probably didn't need it in hindsight. Yes, I should have started the bolt by hand, I also...
