Here is mine, doubles carrying capacity and goes anywhere the truck will go. Best of all I snagged it for $350.

Anyone have a scale verified weight of the 285s?

Good morning, Planning for my next set of tires and interested in the AT3Ws, I am currently running the K02s. I am trying to be weight conscious and want to go with a 285 next. In comparing the listed weights of the two tires on the manufacturer websites I see, what I assume to be, goofy...

Yep, I used a fine tip sharpie to mark the original location and then followed the directions in the FSM. I had to wack the shit out of it but it moved forward a little bit. I don't have any tape on mine right now and it is definitely better but not totally cured, I may try to move it again or...

Happy Saturday, I have Bilstein 5100s on my truck, set at 1.75" in the front with a Cornfed .75" spacer in the back. Is there much to be gained by swapping to new springs? I imagine putting preload on the stock guys does not give the best possible ride. If there is improvement to be had, does...

I've not done my adjustment yet, however, you would move the latch towards the front of the truck to hold the hatch with firmer pressure.

Just updated to a different host, hopefully it is working now.

Well it looks like there is an adjustment procedure and that perhaps it just requires a bit more gusto than I gave it the first time. Looks like you loosen the latch on the body and use a brass rod (although anything hard and unmarring would work I assume, hammer handle, etc.) and give it a...

Heck yes, thanks, I'll PM you. I will report back to the group if I can track down a solution. Thanks!

I have not noticed an adjustable stop on mine as of yet... Anyone know of a digital FSM floating around for the 5th gens online?

I have had a super annoying rattle from my rear hatch area and after quite some time of not knowing what the cause was (I checked the license plate, jack/tools, spare tire, etc.) I finally took a little electrical tape and wrapped it around the striker for the latch and, voilà, that solved it...

I have this one: https://www.amazon.com/Highland-1... Cheap and certainly not the best, but it has worked out pretty well and if it ever got stolen/crashed/beat up I don't really care.

I shot a 400lb cow elk this year and brought it all back in the 4Runner. We had two 120qt. coolers in the back and those took up 50% of the 3 dimensional space of the hatch area. They were pressed to the sides and that left enough room between for my rifle case and a couple other items. They...

I have the 5100s set at 1.75" with a .75" Cornfed spacer in the back. I am also running 275/70s with FN Six Shooters and think it rides just fine. Don't get me wrong it is not a Caddy but it rides very close to stock. I think perhaps the key for me was that I was very careful to choose a new...

Yea....but once you see the first one with sliders, roof rack, black fenders....look out!
