    Which Springs with 5100s?

    I'm thinking of going with those same springs (already have 5100s). How much lift, front and rear, did you get? Can you post a pic?

    Real World MPG with 5th Gen?

    With my current set up (E-rated 275/70R17s, slight lift), I'm averaging only around 15 on the highway. It's all very dependent on wind and speed. A few months back I was driving across New Mexico with boxes on my rack and into a stiff headwind. I got a jaw-dropping 8 mpg for a stretch.

    Minivan vs 4runner

    We own a minivan (Toyota Sienna) and a T4R. We have 3 kids (19, 17, and 11). We usually take the van on road trips and everyone is really comfortable when we do. We drove the T4R to Colorado last year, and the kids were rather uncomfortable in the back for the 12-hour drive. I recently did a...

    Pics of 275/70 tires with 3" Lift?

    Thanks. No trimming needed, and no rubbing at all.

    Pics of 275/70 tires with 3" Lift?

    Here you go. Personally, I don’t think the wheel wells look stuffed at all with this configuration, though I thought it did before I got the lift.

    Pics of 275/70 tires with 3" Lift?

    I'm currently running BFG KO2s, size 275/70/17 with Bilsteins set at 1.75" up front and a 1" cornfed spacer in the rear, but I'm thinking of installing OME springs all the way around for what I understand will be about 2.5-3.0" of lift. Before I pull the trigger, I'd like to see some pics of...

    Installed: Rola low-profile mounts on 5th Gen

    Great thread. Thanks for sharing your experience with this rack and the mounts. I recently ordered and installed the Rola Rack w/ extension with the low profile brackets from 4x Innovations. I bought some black sealant but didn’t see the need to seal this rack. The rack came with rubber sleeves...

    Anyone got a pic of BFG KO2 275/70R17 on your 4R without lift?

    I just put on a set of AT KO2 275/70R17s yesterday. I agonized over the decision between these and the 265s, but I'm glad I went with the 275s. I haven't notice any significant drop in acceleration or power, and I actually prefer the ride of the 275s to the stock Dunlop tires. It seemed that my...

    Silver 4runners (pics)

    Great looking rig. What kind of lift, and what size tires are you running?

    Owners' Manual Cover?

    Just curious--did the owners' manuals in anyone's new rigs come in a black cover or case? I bought a '16 trail a few months ago, and all of the manuals were just loose in the glove box. I asked the dealer if there was a case for them, but they said there was not. My wife's Sienna had a black...

    Bracketron Mi-T Grip Desk/Dash Mount for Most Cell Phones Black IPM-495-BL - Best Buy I bought this suction cup mounted one for $35 from Best Buy because it was the only one they had. I used it for my 6 Plus in a LifeProof case for a long trip a couple weeks ago. No complaints so far, but I...

    Magnetic Grey 4Runners! Lets see them!

    Thanks. By the way, that pic is at Mariscal Mine, correct? Such a beautiful place. I've done River Road a few times in my F150 but can't wait to try it in my T4R.

    Magnetic Grey 4Runners! Lets see them!

    Great looking truck. Are those 265/70s on a stock suspension?
