I figured I'd jump into this thread since I have a similar issue, rather than start a new thread... Last spring I had Bilstein 6112s installed, set at 6/4, so about 2" of lift. I went with a 1.5" rear spring. The shop that did the install said they were able to get the alignment in spec. Last...

Was in Colorado last month and drove up Governor and Yankee Boy Basins <a href="https://bhoop.smugmug.com/4Runner/n-RjZhC4/i-TzkFPct/A"><img src="https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-TzkFPct/0/737e4021/XL/i-TzkFPct-XL.jpg" alt=""></a>...

Initially I could feel the higher center of gravity when accelerating or turning, but I became used to it pretty quick. I think the ride is great, very smooth and firmer than the sock set up.

I just had Bilstein 6112s set at 2", and Bilstein rear coils 1.5" with 5100s installed. I decided to go with the Cooper AT3 4S this time in a 255/75. The Yokohamas weren't bad, but at 40K miles they had definitely lost a lot of performance, especially in snow. We'll see how the Coopers hold up.

I couldn't find a recent thread dedicated to the Yokohama so I thought I would throw this in here. I am on my third year with the GO15s, about 40,000 miles now, and the tires are down to the first wear bar. The snow performance has gone down significantly this winter, compared to the last two...

Are those Toyota part #s? I'll have to check the ones I bought and see which they are.

Coincidently, I stopped at the dealer today and bought new pads and shims for both front and rear, $268, before I saw this post. Now the question is do I gamble that they make it through the winter or replace them now while I can do it in my driveway... I'm in Minnesota, so in about a month or...

I'm at just over 50k and the dealer told me my pads were 4mm in the rear and 6mm in front. I've only had the vehicle for a few months so i have no idea how it's been driven. The discs look good, just looking through the rims, so I think I will probably just throw some new pads in. Any...

I went for the Rocky Road step sliders. I have to say, I'm not super impressed. I ordered on June 1, and paid upfront via PayPal. I didn't hear anything more until 7/29 I received a shipping notification. Of course, we were out of town for the week, on vacation. Anyway, it worked out that they...

Whelp, used a little Google Fu and found the exact problem being discussed on this forum a few years ago. I found a blown 30 amp fuse, which I am sure is the issue with the 4Runner. Now I can start trouble shooting the trailer...

There is one pin on the tester that never lights, but the other two will light with the brakes and turn signals. When I hooked up a different trailer I had the same results: brakes and turn signals but no running lights. There is a large relay in the fuse box that the lid says "towing tail" on...

Thanks, and I did plug in a tester and it lights up with the brakes and turn signals but not with the tail lights.

I picked up a used 2017 SR5 a month or so ago, and when I tried to hook up a small boat trailer none of the lights work. When I hooked up a different trailer the turn signals/brake lights work but not the tail lights. It appears I have two issues. The boat trailer has its own issue that I will...
