Little drive in the Desert Went for a little drive in the Tonto National Forest near 4 Peaks Wilderness Area. Not 4Runner related but this was last night in the same area on the RZR...

Quick Little Trip to the Desert Took a little drive to the desert today, last picture isn't 4Runner related but it was last night in the same area on the RZR XP 1000 ..

They may not bend easy but most people who are trying to pull out a stuck vehicle with a strap are usually getting a running start at it. I'm not saying that's what I would do but I've seen a lot of people who were stuck and they probably wouldn't have gotten stuck if they were a bit smarter...

He said his garage is 70", which 14" shorter than standard garage door height, which is 7' or 84" Shaolin, I would measure your garage door height again..

I find it hard to believe that you don't believe a stainless steel pin can bend when using a strap as you describe. I have a fair amount of B&W adjustable height hitches which use two (2) 5/8" stainless pins for height adjustment. We have had to replace these stainless steel pins on numerous...

Well it does...

I purchased mine from Earnhardt Toyota in Mesa, AZ for $185 and some change. I asked if they would match another dealers online price and they did. I would call a local dealer and ask what they will do for you. I only purchased 4 wheels.

Congrats on the TEP, it looks great. What the heck happened in that accident? Glad to see you and the little guy walked away from that.

Do you have any pics?

To me it looks like you have two (2) GoPro mounts on the front of your bumper, one below the plate and one above the plate? I noticed they are missing in your other photobucket pictures. Do you have videos of these water crossings? If so perhaps we could see them and offer some insight?

Mine looks to have quite a bit of rake to me too. I didn't take pre lift measurements. Toytec Boss with LR UCR's it's been on for about 3 weeks or so. FR: 22" FL: 22" RR: 24.75" LR: 24.875" So far I don't have any pulling or strange characteristics. For what it's worth the shop that did my...

I saw the same post from Mooney too. Someone else commented on the same subject of his post and claimed the 8" TRD wheels were for the Tundra only. I have no first hand knowledge either way but an 8" version for the 4Runner would be nice.

I was referring to goo gone and goof off type products. Goo gone claims that it is safe on plastics and vinyls but I have seen it melt and degrade both materials.

I would NEVER use a petroleum based product to clean something off of another petroleum based product like a plastic. It will melt the plastic. You can try a true citrus oil and it will come off eventually. Don't use anything that's abrasive either.. Update to post... I just noticed...
