    Post pics of your drawer/storage system

    After more than 3 years as a work in process, having spent much time on the back burner, this project is finally complete, installed, and in use! This is my new full time set-up… I’ve been running the tall driver side module for 3 years now, having deleted one of the two third row seats...

    Post pics of your drawer/storage system

    This is fantastic! Love the attention to detail: angled cabinet back, drawer handle slot doubles as fuel line pass thru port, and the bottle hold is great, lol. Not sure I have seen a stove slide out from the side like that; I like it! I can certainly appreciate the design time you surely...

    Thanks. Can't say I'm too worried about a spinning a knurled rivet nut in this scenario. They are plenty stout and grippy, and not like this will be a high torque condition. I'll take my chances vs the potential for easily cross-threading aluminum threads (welded nut).

    ^^ 3 YEARS after this project started I am finally getting to finish the passenger side module. Glad for the delay to be honest. This is my wife's daily driver. With a new pup and kennel residing in the back full time now, another tall drawer module was a no go. What started life as...

    Tow in CO? Need help settling on trailer GVWR!

    b407driver, congrats on the new trailer! Looks like a good lower profile modest option, I am sure it will go well for you. Enjoy... look forward to reading some feedback.

    Who uses Air Bags with Taller Than OEM Rear Springs?

    I cannot comment on the taller air bags, but I left one segment of the factory bump stop in place when I put in my 1.5" Daystar spacer and Firestone air bags... their regular 4Runner kit. 2 years later, no complaints, seems to work like it should! I posted a review on e-trailer, too. By...

    Sprint Booster

    Jason B, thanks for the follow up. I sent an email to Sprint Booster USA and had a detailed report back from the factory overseas within a day. Apparently this has to do with varying side rail conditions on the pedal plug and is normal, and the rough cuts were likely worn tooling. Anyway, really...

    Sprint Booster

    Hey guys, received my Sprint Booster yesterday. Was surprised to see two rough cut slices/notches on each side of the plug, definitely something that was just done by hand after the fact. I should have snapped a shot before cleaning up all the plastic shavings. Looks kinda wonky to me, was just...

    Black Friday - Worth the wait for tires?

    Discount Tire has always had up to $100 off for black friday plus an extra $60 off if you apply/use their credit card. Same for other major holidays. I always plan my tire purchases accordingly. This past labor day was the first time I saw them offer just 10% off instead. 4WP seems to get a...

    Towing experiences with your 5th Generation

    ShooterF16, thanks for the insightful post. I've contemplated a regear myself, but man, don't know that I could stomach a 10-15% hit on the gas mileage... that's rough! It sucks bad enough as it is, 15-16 mpg since we drove it off the lot.

    Towing experiences with your 5th Generation

    I too was worried about this but the benefits outweigh the drawbacks IMO and I really have not noticed them limiting articulation much if any, but I have stock shocks and springs with a 1.5" spacer out back so that is undoubtedly my limiting factor anyway, at least for drop. As Jetboy said...

    Towing experiences with your 5th Generation

    My trailer is similar to your option A and I would NOT want anything bigger. It is all this platform can do to move that load up the mtn passes of CO, but that is at 10k-11k ft elevation, long steep grades for many miles. S2, 45mph, motor screaming the whole way. If you plan on any time in...

    Towing experiences with your 5th Generation

    Do yourself a favor and add air bags but keep the WDH. 5th gen (2016 here) is fine for a WDH. I contacted Toyota about this and they gave me the okay. I posted a copy of their email response... search posts by my user name. I personally think a good WDH with sway control like an Equalizer...
