Same deal up here in Quebec. I tried touching up with rustoleum on my 2011 and had the front skid sand blasted and repainted on my 2013. The rust creeps back the following season with all the salt they use here.

Thanks for the replies, however i already bought a members slightly used front assemblies and robbed the strut mounts! I installed my new suspension and tested it out on a two week road trip to Ouray and Moab. Everything went well!

Hi all, I’m looking to pick up a strut mount kit for my 2013 trail edition with KDSS so I can have my 5100’s and Eibach springs pre-assembled before I install them. Toyota wants $268 per side for the oem parts and the KYB SM5640 kit on Amazon goes for $28 US or $41 CAN per side. Amazon, KYB...

The SM 5640 kit to be exact.

Hi, So did anyone ever find out if the KYB strut mount kit can be used on KDSS equipped 4runners? Thanks!

Living here in Quebec we get some of the nastiest winters around. Winter 2014-15 I ran non-studded hakkapeliitta 8's which were great. As the hakka's aren't an option for you why not just get KO2's which are winter rated? Winter 2015-16 I didn't get around to installing my Nokians and left on my...

I'm running Nokian Hakkapelliita 8 SUV's on mine and they're great up here in Montreal!

I could be wrong but I think Michelin owns BF Goodrich. I love my KO2's in stock size. I ended up getting $20 a piece for my old Duelers. I hope you went with the white letters out!

Looks good! A great second mod would be powder coating your wheels and getting some AT tires. Changes the look completely.

Well said!

Consumer reports has also done testing on SUV's and doesn't recommend buying a 4Runner! Lol

Ah ok, looked like you were answering me cause of the quote. Either way I agree any dedicated winter Nokian would be a great choice. I went with the SUV 8 cause the tire shop said they were more all around winter as the R2's were a more dedicated ice tire. The Blizzak DM-V1's were my second...

The Hakka 8 SUV isn't an LT tire.

I'm from Montreal, Quebec and we get some of the most brutal winter conditions here. I've got a 2011 trail edition and I'm running 2014 trail edition wheels for winter with studless Nokian Hakkapelliita SUV 8's. They're great tires and I see them on a lot of the high end SUV's up here.

I wouldn't worry, they've had this deal pretty much every other week for the last year. I got a quote last time this came up for 265/70/17 C's and it came out to around $1100 for just the tires no install! They have a higher regular price for the duratracs so on special you just pay what you...
