Order placed! So stoked! What winch will everyone be running with this?

Everyone should jump on Reddit and vote it up for visibility. I also posted this on the 4Runners of Washington FB page. Let's get to 50! Sent from my BND-L34 using Tapatalk

Up to 38. PM sent. I'm also going to add this to the 4Runner Reddit site.

Any luck yet? I recently got back from a trip to Moab. Put 2,500 hard miles on it in strong headwinds and big hills, with a rooftop carrier. I did not notice any difference in the whine during or after the trip. It isn't louder, but it is still certainly there. My plan is to first change the...

Noise is still there with the belt removed. Can't be any of the pulleys or alternator since the belt drives all of them. I wish it was as easy as a pulley ot two. Sent from my ME302C using Tapatalk

Check it all out tonight - not great news. I went in tonight to see if I could isolate the noise. I pulled the belt and turned it on. Same as yours, sound still continued. All of my pulleys turn very freely as well. I took off the V-Bank cover and the sound is definitely coming from within...

That is exactly what I just did I just took off my stock springs and added Dobinson 1.5" lift springs. I had previously cut my bump stops and had airbags. Since my bump stop is so short, I figured I either would have to buy new bump stops, or just put the airbag in. I decided to put the airbags...

That is good to know. I have airbags just because my buddy suggested them for when I have kids in the back doing some offroading at Moab or the like. He pointed out that my stock springs will drop quite a bit, impacting my clearance in the rear. I tow a small trailer about once per year. But...

I have a 2011 with 64k miles and I'm noticing the same thing. Sounds like a mild idler pulley whine. I pulled the two upper ones and one of them felt suspect. I replaced it and the whine is still there. I haven't run it with the belt off, but I suspect it would be the same as yours. Sorry I...

Love my 2011 Salsa Red! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

I'll just add that I have spacers and airbags, and my tail end suspension is beyond stiff. It doesn't drop at all when I tow, but I'm going to take them out due to the harshness of the ride. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

Hey Mike - I have a 2011 4Runner with 3rd row seating and DOM sliders. (Front is all set, but need to replace the back springs.) I have Bilstein 5100s, stock springs, airbags, and a 1.5" spacer. The airbags make it WAY too stiff even at the lowest recommended pressure, so I want to swap all of...

I'll try to post pics later, but I just added the Toytec Eibach springs for 1.5" of lift and set my 5100s at .85. It came out perfect at about 2.5" total lift. Enough to look good, give more travel, and don't need new UCAs. I'm going to add some Dobinson springs to the rear to net 1.5" of lift...

Truth. Skinny chicks are always cold. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

I did my own suspension and tightened it all back to factory torque settings. My did the exact same curb hopping last night and also got the thud. I am very suspicious of the spring seat on the rear springs. The springs don't completely seat all the way around. They are seated in the notch, but...
