Helpful - thank you!

I'm not sure what a true strut assembly is, I'm afraid. But it does seem that a separate shock sits within a coil spring. At this point, I am leaning towards sticking with OEM. I thought this might be a good opportunity to do something fun, but I don't think I've got the appetite for it. I may...

This is helpful and interesting, but looking at the photos they provided, I do think a replacement is warranted.

I searched, but didn't quickly find answers. I took my 2016 TRD Pro in for an oil change to an independent shop; they say my right front strut is leaking and they recommend replacing the front shock absorbers with OEM and reusing the springs. Price quoted is $1260 + $126 for alignment. What...

Cool. Looking good! My Gobi rack is supposed to arrive tomorrow (ordered 6/22 from TD). Hope to get it installed this weekend. Can't wait to see how it looks in person.

Not today, but yesterday I took my first road trip in my 2016 TDP. At about 200 miles round trip (half of that with a loaded trailer, then back home again with the empty trailer), it was a little slower than usual, but I just took my time and enjoyed the ride to the mountains with my wife. I...

So what you're saying is... So ... reading between the lines here ... it seems like most of you think I might be shifting too slowly... ;) Turns out you are right! Moving quickly from H4 to L4 and back again works fine - no grinding or scary noises. I was just afraid to try that for fear of...

With 4WD engaged on my '16 TRD Pro, I'm having some trouble switching between H4 and L4. I've read the manual several times and I don't know whether I've got a problem or, perhaps, things are working as designed. Shifting from H4 to L4 (Type A) Stop the vehicle completely and continue to...

So, this finally worked. I ordered an OEM multi-button remote for my garage door opener from Amazon. Cost me about $25 and took about 2 minutes to "program" a unique button for each door. Then I reset the Homelink buttons in my 4Runner (held buttons 1 and 3 at the same time) and went through the...

Oh wow! So glad you are ok! Looks like the 4Runner did a great job of protecting you.

Nice video, Sleeter! You really killed it with that response to my question. Kind of made me want to get a drone! Looks like the 2500cm awning fits on there very nicely. That's the size I think I'll get, too. Thanks!

I'd like to see a photo of your setup (especially closed). Does the 2500 stick way out over the front fender? Thanks!

That was fun. Thanks for sharing!

I have thought about looking for a tent that would fit on the Gobi rack. Looks like you figured out a solution. You certainly had some pretty views!

I'm no mechanic (far from it!), but this looks like a fun project. Can't wait to see how it progresses. Good luck to you!
