I just did the chalk test on my 5th gen 4Runner with nitto Ridge grapplers 255/80R17, new tires, load range E. I have all tires inflated to 32 PSI cold pressure. The chalk test on the front tires showed perfect even wear across the tread. The chalk test on the back tire showed more wear in the...

Looks like SSO is the only universal option. The CBI washer tank skid only works as an addition to their full bumper. Just got that response directly from them by email. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk

Well, take that back. My Warm Semi Hidden Winch Mount bumper has a taller support bracket in that spot. You wouldn't be able to mount the C4 skid under the bracket like they do in the video. Not sure how it would fit if you mounted it over the bracket. Might be OK. I'll probably go with the SSO...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8DuDMilEwA&feature=youtu.be This video shows how the C4 Fab washer tank skid goes in. Looks like C4 and SSO options would work regardless of bumper brand. C4 looks beefier. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk

I see 3 offerings, SSO washer reservoir cover, C4 Fab washer tank skid, and CBI washer skid. The latter 2 look much beefier. First 2 are $59 and CBI is $125. Not sure why their's is so pricey. I've seen the SSO in pics but can't find any pics of C4 or CBI. Anybody using those options and can...

Changed out fairlead to Warn Epic 1.5" Hawse in Gunmetal (type III anodized) & this problem is way improved. It could still be an issue with a really high angle pull, but I can angle the cable greater than 45 degrees up without bumper contact. Certainly still think Warn needs to carve out a...

Just got the Warn Semi Hidden Winch mount on with a VR Evo 10S. Good winch access, beefy, sticks out a bit from the plastic for some front end protection. I like it, but one thing is bothering me: If your winch line is headed up hill at all it will be rubbing along the sharp edge of the bumper...

Only a small amount of space under there. I have some assorted items such as ARB winch line/tow strap damper (flat), some bow shackles & soft shackles, large folded up garbage bag, poncho, pocket knife, accessory cord, carabiners. Can't really get anything thicker than a bow shackle in there.

5th gen TRD Pro 2016. So, I went to the 4WD-101 course at Uwharrie a couple weeks ago (great course, definitely recommend). We were learning about brake throttle modulation and two foot driving, ways to trick your differential into powering all 4 tires without diff lock or the fancy computerized...

Video of Gobi Stealth Install 2016 5th Gen 4Runner TRD Pro Sorry, had to move the video to a different youtube account. Here's the new URL: https://youtu.be/-mVbiEFSVgQ

+1 on the OPOR TRDPro version. Like mine a lot. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I agree, I painted them myself, but the time and money I put into it made me wish I had just ordered them powder coated. I know the arguments about difficulty touching up the powder coat, but it's not gonna look too terrible using some rustoleum to touch up the bottom of the sliders every once...

Yeah, i used por 15, plus a couple coats of their bedliner to give it texture for stepping on. Its relatively subtle texture, but makes them not shiny. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Put up a youtube video on the install for this rear sliding cargo deck mod, laying down the track for tie downs. Simple to do: https://youtu.be/_DwOHtm3aRE

2016 TRD Pro does not have dedicated sunglass storage. I used a SlipToGrip Twin pack, cut to size in the little compartments in the dash, just anterior to the transfer case shifter and cup holder, to allow sunglasses and an iPod to stay in place (100x better). Sunglasses fit well in the lower...
