From what I understand, custom valving is the way to go with the coilovers in general. But, right now with the TNF (w/ stinger) + Warn M8S, the front has roughly 160-170lbs extra. The rear has a LRA tank which is roughly ~110lbs empty, ~260lbs filled. With the gas tanks filled, it's a bit...

A have a buddy who’s running ADS, I should ask if I can take his car out for a spin. He said the same thing too in regards to ADS vs Kings. That’s what’s happening with my rear Bilsteins… I’m maybe 250lbs extra in the rear too.

Hi, Currently I'm running (1st Gen Tundra) Bilstein 6112 (650lbs) and (FJ) 5160 w/ OME 890. I like the setup, but I'm getting old and want a better ride quality. Right now, I have a TNF plate bumper w/ winch and my rear is roughly 300lbs heavier than stock. I'm thinking of getting King...

Alright, update time! New radiator is in (I also re-pipe my transmission cooler to run to the external/internal cooler while I was at it. It was a full bypass before, but being in OR I can see that it takes a bit for the transmission to warm up.) Engine Temperature holding at 190-193F so far. It...

Yeah going on an incline on the freeway going 60mph. I went up to 207F. I am definitely going to overheat if I did what you did. I am going to look for a new radiator. Just going to go OEM. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh sorry. Reservoir is at the midway mark. But, test drove it with the new fan clutch. I did see a bit lower temp. But, I’m at 198-202F at like 70F.m— with speed ranging from 25-60mph. Temperature doesn’t seem as stable as it should be... only thing left to swap out is the radiator itself...

I’m thinking the same. I just got a new fan clutch in, seems a bit stiffer than the newer one. And while I’m at it, oil change. I’m just gonna reburp the system, why not? No air bubbles coming up. Also at an incline and once it warmed up, I revved it lightly as well. We’ll see what’s gonna...

Yeah, the fan clutch doesn't pin wheel. It is next in line for replacing that part, hopefully it'd fix the problem. Will update you guys all once the part comes in.

No, it's mainly dirt. Maybe mud. I rinsed the AC condenser off after every trip. But I'll take the skids and make sure. Thanks!

They're OEM parts. Yeah idk what's going on exactly at this point. I'm slightly considering the engine oil cooler, but I don't see any leaks.

So, I've been reading a lot about what's our "normal" engine temperature. Seems like its ~180-215 F. But, I guess what are the driving conditions and etc. Tried all these conditions with A/C on and off-- and temperature floats around there still unless I push the car/hill climb and you can see...

I run the 3rd gen Taco TRD pro wheels with 265s, I am going up to 285s later this year and that’s the max I’d go. I like them more than the 5th gen 4Runner 17” TRD pro wheels. A bit understated and I got them for super cheap too. I got them for the price of brand new tires pretty much. Sent...

I would just go with the 5100's in your case because it's a cheaper option for decent upgrade in ride quality. If you have extra cash laying around, Kings? lol jk And here are some information on those OME springs...

If I my car wasn't at 400k and I didn't have to do a complete overhaul on my suspension during that time (inner/outer tie rods, all 4 corners suspension and CVs on both sides...) and due for a timing belt job shortly after and tools-- because the money I have to share between everything.; I...

I don't have 285's yet... And it didn't really settle since the car is stock. The car is STIFF. But, I can take pictures of the suspension if you want.
