    Dissent Offroad High Clearance Rear Bumper Launch & Giveaway

    It’s crazy how in the long standing run of bumpers that have been made for this generation 4Runner, a business can create “their take” and have it immediately be a stand out option in the market. IMO this is the best looking rear bumper on the market with some rad features. Kudos to Dissent on...

    TrailMade Billet Shift Knobs 5th Gen 4Runner

    I've seen a set in person on a customer's truck and I can confirm that they're really well made, and customizable which tends to be a sticking point with some people not liking one knob over another. These can look just the way you want with a good grip feel as an added bonus.

    Building, Driving and Adventuring the MTN4RNR

    Hey! I'm still here, although I haven't been for a while... 1. Nailed it. Looking back, some get used more than others but they all have a good purpose. Even the handle S2 gets used now and then when I need to light up the area behind the 4Runner while the hatch is up. It's a pretty minimal...

    I think this is a physics question

    My take is that running the motor at higher RPM won't affect the motor really in any noticeable way, provided there are no cooling issues. Starting in 3rd and letting the transmission work its way down in gears as you go slower at the top will make the transmission and the converter work harder...

    Airstream towing

    GVWR for the 16' Bambi is 3,500lbs. which is under the 4Runner's 5,000lbs. weight limit. The tongue weight with LP, not including any water or cargo is 350lbs. Unloaded trailer weight same spec is 2,900lbs. meaning that if the weight was balanced correctly, a loaded to GVWR trailer would have a...

    4.56 Gears On Mostly Stock Build

    I'm on the same boat as OP. I'm not a crazy build, but everything does add up weight-wise and moving to 4k feet elevation means that in the mountains here around town I try to keep it locked in 4S because in 5S or D the transmission tends to hunt around. It's right on the cusp of being able to...

    Nice Voodoo! I hope the SW heat isn't too unbearable this time of year :thumb3:

    5th Gen Tummy Tuck = ground clearance

    Very cool mod. I love the way it adds clearance in a "if you know, you know" kinda way. It doesn't change the outward appearance. Was the transfer-case position changed at all? As in, has the driveline angle changed at all? I can see how Toyota would use a cheaper to manufacture but bulkier...

    Building, Driving and Adventuring the MTN4RNR

    I think the best way that I can describe it is that the material is thicker than the stock flaps, but it comes as a flat piece whereas the stock flaps are molded more and stick out more due to their design. Depending on your alignment you might clear these flaps. I do with stock offset and 285s.

    Whew it's been a while since I have been here... Need to update the thread a little bit... I swapped out the Metal Tech links because I got them second hand and the johnny joints were pretty much toast from the start but I ran them anyways. They were really creaky because of that, and I...
