I have a friend who has done a lot of wheeling (lives out of his 4runner most of the year) and he has them and doesn’t like them. 2 sidewall punctures in 6 months. Never had one with any other tire. But that’s just the one guy I know with them

I wouldn't mention it.... unless they take the time to do a visual inspection of the needle bearing, that thing is kinda tucked up in there behind your CV and seal. I'm not sure if you have changed your diff fluid up front but I would do it... you are exposing the inside of your diff when you...

Alright, was hoping to get a little less than the full 1” since I was going from springs rated a max of 800lbs to ones with a max of 400 and an 18mm wire to a 16mm, but we’ll see. I feel like the 329s gave me a little more height over the 327s but I never really took any measurement so now I’m...

Crikeymike In your experience how much height would you gain going from the 329s to the 677Vs on a 5th gen 4runner? I am not really looking to gain much height in the back but there obviously isn't a 2" long travel option so I stepped down the weight hoping that they would be somewhere close...

Yup already got the diff breather.

Yea... I'm not really wanting overly sensitive airbags tho since the truck does get banged around a little. I have a friend who ran his intake into the cabin but it was a trailered rig and he still said it was too loud so he replaced it with a traditional snorkel. Well if there isn't anywhere...

I don’t really want to drive through deep water but sometimes the situation calls for it. I don’t want a snorkel… I’m bot wanting to do a traditional snorkel but I do want to protect the air intake from water ingestion now that the fender liners have lost some of their integrity to fit tires...

Torsens are probably the most interesting design. Just gears based on the interaction (or lack of) between worm gears and sprocket gears. Almost no maintenance totally gear driven and doesn’t take any input to activate or deactivate and you can choose a bias ratio that suits your application...

This. Fully locked (Front, "center", and rear) - every wheel gets 25% of the torque regardless of what is on and off the ground. Open - the wheel that requires the least amount of torque to spin will dictate the amount of torque being applied to all other wheels. It takes say 20lb/ft of...

I have a friend that didn't really cut any fenders outside of maybe a slightly larger TRD Pro bumper mod.... but the front end still looks factory. He has Dobinsons C59-354 front springs (Dobi IMS shocks) and C59-701v rear. He has -12 offset methods and 35x12.50R17 Yoko Geolander MTs. He had...

Maybe I'm looking at it wrong but the reason I am looking to "stretch" it slightly is that ever since I have had the 35s on, at full compression in the rear (and it really takes a little bit of a bounce *timben bump stops*) the tires just barely touch the piece fender flare that runs along the...

Does anybody have a good way to to calculate how much your wheelbase will change with adjustments of the rear trailing arms? I need to bring my pinion down to the correct angle but I also want to extend the wheelbase by 1/8-1/4" to keep my tires off the rear door portion of the fender flare...

ECGS is the jam and would definitely be my recommendation too. Long story short, the guy I talked to at ECGS and I had some mutual friends and they connected me with this guy. The first guy at ECGS talked to told me I would need a tune too so I guess it isn't too uncommon with some rigs ??

Thanks, I had never heard of anyone having to do it but it was the first time my friend had done a 5th gen 4runner so he was kinda skeptical to drive it since he has had issues with some jeep builds he has done in the past.
