Been away for a long time, but finally getting back to where I can do some things with my T4R. Need to address this issue: KDSS dash light is on (has been for a few months but that’s only been about 3k miles since covid/WFH). There are no other symptoms. No leaks, no clunks, no noises, no...

I really like my Shrockworks. I like the angle that puts them up tight to the body, but it definitely limits their usefulness as a step. Good height genes across the whole family make this a non-issue. Same wait time problem as noted above.

Got four new meats: Destination ATs, 275-70-17. The Cooper AT3s just got soooo loud by about 40,000 that it was time to go at ~42.5. Traction had fallen off badly too. But hey, they're made to wear out right? Had the Firestones on my Gen 3 with good success, so here we go.

Look closely, it's there.

Sunrise at the farm Best time of day.

First, everything that 1Engineer said. Dead nuts on, per usual. Second, I've made a pretty nice living as a degreed safety professional for a few decades now, and I'm driving 4Runner #3, uninterrupted since 1992. Draw your own conclusions. Third, the only mod I've made that has any hope of...

Looks great, but I'm biased. PlastiDip those wheels, or something else?

How are you finding the wear on your Cooper AT3's? I'm at about 28.5 and tread depth is fine, but based on last winters performance, they'll likely need changed out before the snow flies. Skated a little more than I care to, thanks. I've been piling up the highway miles due to a job change...

Good advice right there. Do the right thing for LEO safety and they tend to appreciate it. Make them feel uncomfortable and 1) they may reciprocate and 2) you're stupid. Pull off to a safe spot for them and you. Ignition off. Windows down. Hands at 10 & 2 (which I think is what Blitzkrieg...

I'm with you. However, two days afterward I had a roadside discussion with a local law enforcement official who was less that a fan. Took some meter readings and I left with a warning. But I dig the look.

Finished the LED migration with some reverse lights. Haven't checked them in the dark yet, but finally swapped them out per plan.

Are these bright enough? Like TDiddy, I had some issues with the seller yitamotor. The kit was short a few T10s and I couldn't finish the install. Tried to resolve via email and, oddly, the seller disappeared and didn't answer several messages. I hadn't yet rated the buy on eBay, but after...

Is the hood liner a universal fit for all 5th gen T4rs? Has anyone who added it measured or even noticed an engine noise difference?

Any owner comments on snow performance for the new KO's? My AT3 are quickly going away and they were pretty poor in snow even when new. These seem like the way to go here in pseudo-Siberia if they are decent in snow.

Almost there Received the 13 piece kit Masaro called out in the excellent original post. It came while I was away in Houston (75 degrees). Decided to get as much done as I could today while it was a balmy 19 degrees, since it will be 0 tomorrow (yeah, that's the high). I didn't survey the...
