This is a 2016 Trail with about 24,000 miles. After a third failure of the part in two and a half years, I’m looking for alternative solutions. I searched here but didn’t find any examples, so I’m looking for feedback. I found a couple of posts elsewhere (here’s one example) and one video from...

I use this 3.5 ton jack from NAPA. This is the low profile version and is very well built.

Same here.

Certainly. Click to go to full size images. From the day I did the snorkel install: 2017 Appalachian Toyota Roundup: Titan Offroad December 2018 Club Ride - Trail 4 at Windrock: Parking lot shot after KM3 tire install:

Yes it will. Here's a picture of a front and rear (with swing-out tire carrier) bumper in the back of my 4Runner. Click the picture to go to the full size image.

Skid plates delivered and unbolted from the pallet. Unfortunately, it's too cold to prime and paint and the forecast doesn't show warm temps in the future.

I ordered engine, transfer case, and transmission skids on December 17th. Received a call today from the transport company that they are in town. Delivery scheduled for Friday. :guitar3:

2016 Trail Premium Automatic Differential Disconnect replaced twice. Once at one year into ownership and once at two years. The part has been replaced by a revised version so hopefully no future issues.

I have Shrockworks on the front and rear (with swing-out tire carrier).

Finished a walk with the dog to find this silver Limited parked behind my white Trail.

Update: Had the body mount chop and diff fluid change yesterday. The fluid looked great and there were just a few shavings on the plug magnets. One more change in about 500 miles and I'll probably fill with Redline lightweight shockproof. I also had the ToyTech Superflex HD coils installed...

I have full skids, I just took them off for the work and left them off until the diff fluid gets changed in two weeks. I go out at Windrock and Tellico. Looking into a trip in Kentucky at Daniel Boone.

A couple more pictures: And here is the cost info: Nitro 4.88 gear package: $1,445 Wheels: $210 ea. Tires: $290 ea. Regear labor: $500

These are at GPS recorded speeds: 55 MPH: ~ 2053 65 MPH: ~ 2439 70 MPH: ~ 2800 I'll get a picture and the costs from the receipt posted later. I went with the 4.88 because I do very little highway driving and have a lot of weight on the truck with Shrockworks front and rear, winch...

I recently swapped out the tires on my 2016 Trail edition from Cooper AT3 275/70 to BF Goodrich KM3 33x12.5. I also had a re-gear done at the same time from the OEM to 4.88. This thread is to share info about the new setup. The work was scheduled for two days at the shop, but they were down one...
