    Seat Swap Research Begins...

    Porsche hired World renowned designer Thomas Lamb to craft the ergonomics of the 911 seat, to do this he had hundreds of sample drivers sit in a seat made of clay to come up with the perfect average. The seat variations have barely changed since, no company in history has gone to such lengths to...

    ADDCO front sway bar for 5th Gen?? Phantom?

    I've been researching a front sway bar option for the 5th gen for some time now. It looks like ADDCO is the only maker in existence that's even considered it (for years?) and already makes a rear, but has never gone through with production for the 5th gen? Has anyone ever seen one of these...

    ADDCO Front Anti-Sway Bar fell today

    Anyone seen an Addco front sway bar for sale or in stock at all lately for the 5th gen, looks to have dropped off...maybe for these reasons?

    Poly sway bar bushings?

    SR5 sway bar It sounds like your SR5 sway bar(s) got beefier, than my 2013? Did you verify the sizing, interested in upgrading mine if that's the case, I wonder if the bolt spacing on the bracket is the same?

    2010-2013 Spyder Headlights

    Spyder/Boslla H11 LED mod I was blessed by a good friend with a brand new pair of these Spyder headlights still in the box in chrome last month, he ordered them last Fall/Winter and just got them shortly before deciding to trade out of his 5th gen. He also gave me these tricky brand new Boslla...

    HEAVIEST load towed with 4Runner

    I towed a 25ft Proline with a dual axle, it was 5000+ with pretty bad weight(forward) distribution with no special equalizing hitch (see my profile photo). It was on my stock suspension when I was still stock, almost two hours from New Jersey to PA. Only had to stop once to check straps, wasn't...

    JBA UCA post install thoughts - boot not fitting right?

    Wow that's a crazy rub with 35s, what wheels/spacing are you at? I can't see getting anywhere close with my SCS Rays in -38 but I'm only running 295s. All things considered, after finding some steel retaining spring clips to replace the plastic zip ties on the boots, I think they're a great...

    For Those Who Desire the V8 for the 5th Generation

    I have a 2013 SR5, own it, and plan on keeping it forever. Have been trying to source a 2010-2013 v8 from a Lexus for some time now with some engine schematics on the mounting points, I'm pretty sure it can definitely be done..also a bit sad noone has done it yet but maybe I'll be the first some...

    JBA UCA post install thoughts - boot not fitting right?

    New boot design..betterish Just received my JBA UCAs today, they’re beautiful, happy to see the “new boot design” incorporating a machined groove at the top of the ball joint as well as a matching groove on the boot as a retaining point for the groove. Not SO happy to see the choice for...

    Anyone running the Cooper AT3-XLT tires yet?

    Awesome thanks a lot this is exactly what I was wondering so I can do some "pre-work" before I get to the shop. Wow so you actually go past 4.0, I haven't read too many guys doing that but I know with aftermarket UCAs it's very doable to even the tread wear and reduce rub. I'm running factory TE...

    Anyone running the Cooper AT3-XLT tires yet?

    285/75/17 in the XLT anyone? Anyone running the Cooper XLT in 285/75/17? Wondering if anyone's had any rubbing with the tall and skinny true 33s? Currently sitting on OME 2.5/1.5 lift with stock UCAs.

    General Grabber vs Nitto Ridge Grapplers

    I was about to pull the trigger on 285 Nitto RidgeGrapplers for this reason, aside from the Cooper's AT3 4S they are the only other 285 size SL tire in a non-LT that runs around 45lbs each or about 20lbs less than every other General/etc option. So overall wear and tear on suspension, engine...
