    Recommended Towing Safety Improvements

    Replace your OEM shocks with some Bilsteins, either 4600 or 5100 series. Airbags in the rear. Make sure your tires are properly inflated. What kind of boat?

    This is the engine the 4runner needs

    I owned one of GM’s bleeding edge half tons, a 2008 Vortec Max. Great truck until it ate a lifter at 66k miles which then wiped a lobe on the cam. Very common issue with the L76. They still haven’t quite worked all the bugs out of AFM and you still get the occasional lifter issue. The point is...

    Lifts with 265/70/17, issues?

    I like 2” and 265’s. I’m sitting at 2” front, 1.5” rear

    Can't Decide: JBA or new SPC UCAs

    I have not run SPC UCA’s and probably will not. Chinese UCA’s should not cost as much or more than domestic parts. I’ll be ordering either JBA or Total Chaos UCA’s in a few months. I really like the TC arms but the cost is hard to swallow. I’m 2.25” front and 1.5” rear with 1.8* caster. It...

    Yup! My caster is a little low at 1.8*. I’ll get some UCAs eventually, but for now it drives fine.

    2015 4Runner Limted-Hood Flex/Issue

    Common problem on a lot of modern vehicles unfortunately. You can thank CAFE standards.

    Roof rack/basket/cargo box suggestions?

    I’ve debated this myself. My T4R is the family ride and we only need the rack for trips and I will probably never use a roof top tent. Stock with a basket is the route I’ve decided on. Take the basket off and adjust the crossbars. No wind noise or MPG hit and it keeps it trim.

    New brake job, lower MPG?

    Jack the wheel up and make sure it’s spinning freely.

    Front lower ball joint attachment and steering knuckle wont align

    Don’t be afraid to jack it up a bit more. Also did you disconnect the sway bar? Alignment cam bolts loosened?

    Bilstein TRD Pro suspension kit on sale PTR13-35140

    I’ll preface this to say I prefer a firm, controlled ride. My truck only has 7800 miles on it so it’s still basically new. It was soft with lots of body roll and nose dive. This kit fixed that in a big way. The truck feels planted now with little body roll. Nose dive is mostly gone. It’s firm...

    Garmin inReach Explorer+ & iPad Mini

    I'm running an X Grip on my Pro Clip now. Rock solid with my iPhone SE. Not so much with my iPad mini in the Tab-Tite mount.

    Garmin inReach Explorer+ & iPad Mini

    My iPad mini really wobbles on the Proclip Mount... how is it for you? I’m thinking about the Expedition Essentials TPAM for the iPad. Looks solid enough and it would facilitate a shorter arm.

    Ram Mount thoughts - Center console piece availability

    I have a Proclip console mount with a Ram X Grip for my iPhone. Works pretty good. I found this a few days ago and have been intrigued. https://expeditionessentials.com/products/toyota-4-runner-5th-gen-powered-accessory-mount-pre-order

    Anyone know where I can get the lower L shaped stud or bolt for the lower remote reservoir mount? It’s the one that hooks in the frame. I lost mine in the frame on the passenger side. Still assembled fine and honestly the top bolt seems pretty stout. Here’s a pic of my driver side stud thingy...
