Good to know about the lack of tabs. Was my main concern. I’ll go back through and check the pics. Appreciate the heads up about the bumper and figment. Looking more like I may go with the LFD. Got time to decide and save...tires next. Thanks all! Really appreciate the info. - Jeff

Since this thread is trending and I’ve gotta get a new skid as mine has rusted away... Are there tabs on the front for it to “hang” on? The Southern Slimline has me concerned on fit. Anyone with their winch bumper have a TRD plate? Thanks! Jeff

Strangely it’s really only the skidplate. Got a good look changing the t-case and axles. Other than that piece, everything looks pretty much as it should for 90k miles and trails it’s been down. Given the design, I wonder if failing to get ice/salt/snow out in a timely manner contributed. The...

Thanks Deep_palancar for that part #. Just wanted to double check. Thanks to you all as well for your responses. I drive a wrecker all day, makes checking much less replying tough. Ironically first call was a guy with a TRD Pro in a parking garage. Got to take a look at his skid. Even better it...

Precisely what I’m hoping/looking for. Seen a few on eBay and w/shipping it’s more than the dealer. Trust me, I get the added bonus the thicker ones give, and or the rust free worries of aluminum... it’s simply not in the budget.

Really don’t need an upgraded version. Stocker has been fine for the wheeling I do and that’s decreased a lot lately. Price is really the largest factor. RCI and Schrockworks are waaaay to much. Will definitely check out LFD, thanks! Anyone have the correct part # or even by chance have a...

Hi everyone, been awhile, life goes by fast... couldn't believe I was catching up on some service at 90000 already! Anyway, while underneath doing a fluid change out this weekend I noticed the front skid plate is crumbling away in rust. Live in Northern VA so usually little snow, salt, etc...

Over the past few weeks the 4wd shifter has started to rattle. Not the normal manual 4WD shifter vibration/movement and nothing pressing against it or in the boot well. In fact pressure on it made it go away. Not an unlivable situation but annoying just the same. Also, the rattle has grown...

Thanks everyone, all good points! Particularly, and to be honest I didn't give this consideration is the age of the tires being sold. The ATM's seem to vary in price (at least on amazon) and that does make me wonder... Totally agree. An old "new" tire is just as bad as used or no-name junk...

Approaching tire time for my rig, or rather estimating I will be by inspection due date (5/19). Currently running Nitto G2's and have been pleased with them. Put them on in June of '15 and got about 40K on them with some life left. Life has changed a bit, went back to school and hence not...

Interesting thread, got my notice last Friday. Like a few others here I live in NOVA and have been searching for a good dealer since I purchased my '14 new up in MD. Drive a wrecker while going back to school so have had the "pleasure" of dealing with most the dealers in the area. Not sure on...

Since this post is back to the top, (I've spent lots of time reading it and the other threads regarding actuators) figure I might as well add myself to the list of 4Runner door lock failures... My passenger side went out first, then the drivers side. This was admittedly quite awhile and have...

Sadly car audio shops are just as rare around here as trusted 4x4 shops. Plenty of "Safe & Sounds" types. Years ago I had a custom enclosure built for my Ram and the one shop that met the "goldilocks" test (trustworthy, good work, decent pricing) was bought out. You are right though, just about...

Has anyone gotten a quote from a dealer on this? Both my front door actuators are kaput. It looks like a job I could do but between work, school, and the fact that I live in an apartment complex with world's steepest and tightest parking garage with all my tools in storage.......it's not a job I...

Been away from the forum for awhile but I've been having this happen for over a year now. Latest software, blah blah blah. Worst part is when on the phone and it crashes and you're left talking to yourself. Mine seems related to temperature. Occurring less in winter, usually after driving for...
