Previously owned a 2004 Rubicon that I built up (a few thousand bucks goes a long, long way)... easy to wrench on, and a beast on the trails. Only issue I had in all the years I owned it was a leaking seal within the first couple of months of ownership, covered under warranty. Otherwise no...

I am running these on my Sierra and thus far they have been great. When I next have to replace the tires on the 4Runner, will be going with A/TW's unless I find unanticipated issues with them as time goes on (for example, if they wear badly over the summer months). They are louder than p-rated...

I have run different winters with different vehicles: - Continental ExtremeWinterContact on my old GTI, excellent winters - DM-V1's on the Runner for the second winter now, it gets the job done nicely and at this point I would have no issue recommending these in Alberta conditions. Have...

... and that's before you realize that to get the most out of the 6.2, premium is recommended. Still, with the 3.42 gearing (Max tow), it does some impressive acceleration performance while the engine plays an appropriately throaty symphony. One clarification I would like to make... on the...

Best of both worlds - now have a '14 TEP and a '15 SLT Sierra with the 6.2. :) Bought the truck with mountain towing in mind as the 4R proved to be a bit of a dog in this department. Have to say that the truck is a beast, but in every day driving around the city, I cannot say it gets better...

Another "love mine" owner here... fit great, work great.

As long as the update disc isn't somehow tied to a single update/install, could just do a group buy (and share). ;-)

Running with a P3 and have the same issue. I suspect, as others have, that it's the ground wire that needs a good mounting location. Have yet to find a good one, obviously the one I used is not a good ground... Having said that, it's seems to be a Toyota thing as others don't need to run a...

Thanks, appreciate it. Haven't gotten to the install as I managed to throw my back out doing unrelated garage work. In the meantime I have however gotten my hands on the manual. I agree that it's unlikely that the specs would be different between the 2010 and 2014 model year.

Anyone? Anyone?

Great write up and very timely as I am about to do the same install. Do you happen to have the torque specs for the sway bar, lower shock mount, and panhard rod bolts? How long did it take you from start to finish? I am guessing 2 hours, but need to plan accordingly... Turns out life with...

For those using Velcro, have you found that the adhesive ultimately makes a mess? I remember using industrial grade Velcro for my scangauge back in my Jeep days, but it eventually made a mess. Just curious. I there is also a 3M product that may do the trick but don't want a sticky mess in a...

Old thread revive! Out of curiosity, where did you all run the ground out to? I see some good candidates towards the firewall, though those would require putting a larger connector onto the ground wire. Other than that, in the same boat as far as picking a mounting location. Hate to do a...

Good to know that this is "normal", was getting worried after smelling it each time I pull into the garage.

Quick question on the wiring - does the 5th gen run a 2 or a 3 wire system (basically, a 3-wire system means that the left, right, and stop lights are independently wired, while in a 2-wire system the stop lights function along with the left and right turn signal wires) in regards to the trailer...
