Haven't run into that problem with my FR. I have dozens of eye bolts that I got on amazon and can strap anything down. Problem I had with the gobi is that needed adjustable crossarms and at the time wasn't a way to secure them (lock them)to the rack. Sure you can lock your equipment to the...

Not on mine. I have the full length and the front ones are part of the structure so you can't just remove them like you could ones in the center.

lol no - its such garbage.

I bought some quick fists that I use to mount tools and stuff on the rack instead of buying the shovel mount and stuff. I use them to hold my shovel and axe on the top and haven't had a problem. I only have shovel / axe mounted when I'm hitting the trails but never had a problem driving to or...

Yup. Removed it from my vehicle when I went larger in tires so have a full size spare. Ready to go.

I have a spare from my 5th Gen that has been sitting in my parents garage for about three years now. Not sure if it makes any difference but I have a 13 trail. If you want it ill sell it cheap. I'm in San Diego every weekend so we can meet up. I'll be heading down tomorrow morning so if you...

Not too sure how they are doing it. My 4runner was purchased originally in AZ. I bought it in AZ and took it to CO where i spent some years. Moved back to SoCal and I am on the list based off my CA License plate number.

Pretty easy. Few ruts here and there but nothing technical at all. There is a small hill climb that you can do that you will def need 4Lo for but its super short and you have to come right back down once you get up.

Went to Oriflamme Canyon last night and even with the rain only used 4wd twice.

Just saw this thread today and was planning a trip for next weekend out there. Cruise in Sat come home Sun.

Agree with others that you shouldn't need to turn them that soon unless you do heavy braking and they over heated. I'm at 150K on my 13 and got them turned yesterday since they have been warped for some time but barely able to work on it. Guessing atrac has been used too much and I know it's...

5th Gen. That's very true about the small shops. I always try and give local shops my business but with trying to buy a house right now, I want good quality but have to watch the price.

Looking for some beefier protection under the 4runner. Anyone know any local shops / small businesses that make them for a decent price? Everything I see seems steep for some steel. Thanks

Around 15-16mpg. 33 LT on 3" lift and Frontrunner rack with awning but rest empty unless going to hit the trail.

Only thing that gets me bored is the lack of articulation / lift that you can put on it without spending a stupid amount of money. Some of the trails I want to hit I just can't because truck won't make it.
