Looks great! I've been looking for a slider solution to my 13 LTD because I hate the low ground clearance look mostly. I've looked into cutting the rocker panel+ frame sliders or trail trim+ frame sliders or complete trail body conversion. This seems like the most simple solution for me...

I made this storage solution for my needs. I've been living with small loose items in the back and I don't need big storage drawers for offroading that I've seen on the forum. So I made this simple wooden storage compartment for daily stuff i keep in the truck. The nice thing is that you...

Great idea, this would be ideal for me. I just got a 13' limited and really don't like the low clearance appearance, but I also like to keep it stock for now. When I take it in for the first maintenance, I'll ask the guys if this would work.

That's too bad. Has anyone else had a problem with OPOR sliders with hi-lift?

this thread is indeed very useful for newbies like me. So, what's more important skidplates or sliders? I'm planning to do mild - moderate offroading, but no rock crawling. And what's the downside, how much do you suffer in mpg for each? thanks.

I don't think we have Toyota Care in Canada, that would be nice though. For some reason, I don't have limited badge on mine, guess that's another Canadian thing. Anyway, here's a pic with the new wheels, now I just need to get rid of the running boards.

Most likely I'm going with OPOR sliders because I don't want to trim the rocker panels, they also have a 20% sale this month.

I actually thought a lot about this even before I bought the car. And thanks for all the good info on this forum I had 3 options... 1. Wider tires like 275/55/R20 on stock wheels. (decided no, because I want more offroad abilities and the issue of narrow 7" rims) 2. Konig countersteer type x...

Are TE wheels and tires better than SR5's? I know the wheels look different. Are the TE tires more offroad capable? I do 90% highway driving, so probably SR5 sets are better for me.

Yeah, I'm definitely happy with the deal money wise. My only conern is potential change in handling responsiveness with the 17". The dealer's been letting me drive the stock limited for a week before I make up my mind. So far I'm very happy with the car, more responsive in handling than I...

I just got a 13 limited last week and the dealer offered to swap the stock 20" wheels and tires with the SR5 wheels and tires plus $500 credit. I want to do it because I want to use my 4R for some mild offroading and also more rubber will give a softer ride. I just hope i won't lose too much...

I've been reading many sliders and running boards threads and haven't come across the answer. I know you can install some sliders with rocker panel trimming. I'm hoping to do the some with the TE running boards. I basically want the higher clearance look, need something to step on for the...

I had to make the exact same decision a month ago between 2014 Forester and T4R. I knew Forester was a far more practical decision for me for all the advantages you already mentioned. But I ended up getting the Limited T4R simply because I like the styling better, it looks like a real SUV with...

I'm hoping to be a 4Runner owner in the next month. On the verge of buying one for these reasons, 1) always liked the truck look with the higher stance 2) use it for camping, fishing... although still 95% on road use 3) need more space with new baby(not a real good reason since we only have 1)...
