@Munson, I just received my Ruff Tough kennel in the Large SUV size. Fits like it was custom built for the 4Runner. Plenty of room for two side by side. Edit: Forgot to mention that I saved a few dollars on the price of the kennel, and significant dollars on shipping by purchasing from this...

Please send information for a 5th Gen.

The best vehicle I have ever owned.

Hoover Dam, if you are from the Las Vegas area you could give A Arrow alignment a try. Took my truck there and when I told the tech I was looking for caster on the high end of the OEM specs he knew exactly what I was talking about and said he might be able to do a little better. Allowed me to go...

Then of course there's the "every 4Runner is different" thing. I recently installed a modest 2" lift including replacing the UCAs with Camburgs. When I installed the lift I marked the alignment cams so I could get it back to close before getting it to the alignment shop. I took it to a place...

Thanks for the examples Jetboy. I didn't think about the bearing not being on the wheel surface mounting plain. I just thinking of the wheel mounting point as being the place where all the magic happens.

There is probably a thread more suitable to this question, but the subject of offset has been opened here so I'm going to jump in. Without debating whether increasing offset is harder on your wheel bearings, can anyone help me with the math to illustrate whether positive or negative offset...

I just ordered a right side, part #89516-60260 harness from McGeorge Toyota Online Parts out of Richmond VA. $56 shipped to Las Vegas via priority mail. I damaged it while installing lift of course. I verified which one was bad by disconnecting ABS wires in teh engine bay and continuity checking...

I also had a very good experience with Hefty Fabworks. I ordered a set of sliders on 21 November, and they were shipped on 12 December. About a week after I ordered them I had not heard anything so I sent an email just to make sure they had received my order and I received a response the same...

doro89, I just installed a Zeon Platinum 10S and Budbuilt hidden mount plate on my 2013 trail and I was somewhat surprised at how little the front suspension compressed. I believe it was no more than a quarter inch. Winch and plate weighed right around 90 lbs. I am running stock springs...

stephan07 if you decide that 4Wheel parts is not meeting your needs give Pelfreybilt a look. I ordered a Platinum 10s from them in early November. I think I had it in a few days, shipping was only $25 to my house, they threw in a 20 oz Yeti mug, and the price was $150 dollars less than what...

Zeon Platinum on a BudBuilt HWM in a 2013 Model Older thread, but I thought the title was most appropriate to my message. So many winches I could have gone with, but for me it boiled down to the Smittybilt X20 as the value option and the Warn Zeon as the premium option. The Zeon Platinum was...

I had Katzkin seat covers installed and have not looked back since. Friend who owns a trail premium even envies the leather smell over her softex. Truck transports us and several large dogs to hiking spots and the leather is holding up great.

And all of this time I've been driving around with my hand up to block the glare when all I had to do was move to the Pacific Northwest to solve the problem. :)

I have had the same problem with my KO2s (E rated 275s). I don't have to drive on wet roads often, but when I do it can be a white knuckle experience. Most of the reviews I saw on-line didn't indicate any problems with wet traction so I just figured it was my set up.
