Bump

They are 13mm for the bolts that are OEM with that step. The stock bolts you have to take out are 12mm. No idea on depth.

I have a muffler from TRD Pro Catback exhaust ready for a new home. Used for 1200 miles before swapping for stock muffler. Located in Las Vegas, NV and local delivery only!! $350. You will need to weld to stock tailpipe or buy separate TRD Pro tailpipe. Bolts on to cat pipe like normal.

Picture a 3" or so long pipe welded in place of the flanges on the downstream (tailpipe) section of the exhaust. Actual tailpipe exit position unchanged.

I've had two 4Runners with KDSS and one without. The 'without' is a Pro so it still may be apples to oranges. I can tell you, emphatically, the KDSS rides great. It stays a lot more level in the corners. Having said this, it doesn't help nose dive (obviously)... I didn't notice much negative...

Truth! ha, ha.

Believe it or not, factory. Ordered a Toyota one.

Just swapped the TRD performance muffler out today and kept the TRD Pro tailpipe. The shop welded the muffler/tailpipe joint together and just cut off the flanges. Length and height of the tailpipe exit/tip is the same. Most importantly, the loudness/drone under load is all gone. Now it's...

Too easy, thanks!

I'm planning to pull my 2020 TRD exhaust out. I plan to keep the pro tailpipe. Million dollar question is what to tell an exhaust shop about welding it to the 'normal' exhaust system. How do I mate the 2 versus 3 bolt flanges? I don't want to buy the tailpipe and cut it after the flange to...

I’m pondering chucking the ‘pro’ exhaust too. I find the drone going up even a shallow grade is obnoxious. Around city it’s fine though. Is there an easy way to just switch the muffler and cut the 3 prong flange and weld on a 2 piece to keep the tailpipe? Thinking of an incremental...

Grand Canyon: Point Sublime Spent two days at the North Rim and ventured out to Point Sublime. We tried to do it yesterday but the heavy thunderstorms in the area washed out part of the trail. This morning we had much better luck - beautiful trail, beautiful view!

Last weekend I had Bilstein 5100s installed on all four corners of the 4Runner to correct the crazy nose dive/sailing sensation that is the stock suspension. Some background: I was EXTREMELY disappointed with the stock suspension when coming to a stop - the brake assist was causing a lot of...

Mine does the same thing, but from the front left side of the suspension. I get it all the time when off road and when I go over a speed bump/through a drainage dip, especially when off-camber. I can't figure it out and dealer said they couldn't hear it. Of course they also didn't fix the...

Hey brother, if you're talking about part no 401863, the four blocks that you can use as tie downs on the factory trail roof rack I have an extra set I can send for no cost. I'm on my second Trail. When I traded the first one (2010) on a BMW (long story) I kept the accessories thanks to a...
