Yes! After 10 months, I traded 2011 SR5 for a 2011 Trail with KDSS because I couldn't stand the boat like ride of the SR5. The trail is MUCH better on road and off. The bigger difference is on road. I am not a habitual car trader. I owned my previous vehicles 8-10 years each. Guy

Cornfed makes a 1" rear spacer.

The top position. My instructions said that was 2.25", which is exactly what the lift measured afterwards.

I installed my lift yesterday. In front are Bilstein 5100s set at 2.25". In the rear I have Bilstein 5100s with 1.5" spacers. I didn't really want spacers in back, but I wanted a subtle lift. It seems like even the 1.5" SAW coils are giving 2+" in rear. I'm pretty happy with this. The ride...

I've got a Honda XR650R that's fairly manly, but I believe my homebuilt is my most manly vehicle. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/B1KYJWznFd0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

They're 275s.

I REALLY understand. I traded my 2011 SR5 for this one!

My 1/2 treaded, bump outs arrived yesterday! I installed them today! Fit and quality are very good. Pictures over on the show us your 5th gen thread. Guy

I installed my BudBuilt Bump Out Sliders today! :party: They were an awesome B-Day gift from the fam.

Amen brother. My first new vehicle in 12 years was my 2011 SR5. Later I drove a 2011 TE with KDSS, and I had to make the trade up. Everything else is the same between them, even color. I did the whole transaction for KDSS.

I'm of the .5% as well and do wheel my one month old trail edition. Once I get sliders and a lift installed I'm planning on tackling black bear and Poughkipsie gulch. I did the mellower passes and local stuff in my SR5. It's clear that the TE is MUCH more capable off road. That said, it's...

Not according to Toyota. They designed it, so I'm betting they would know. The only difference KDSS would bring would be the improved ride and reduced body roll. My 2011 TE with KDSS tows just as well as my 2011 SR5 did. It just handles better doing it!

The SR5 roof rack is not as tall as the Trail edition. On my SR5, the crossbars were lower than the fin antenna. On my trail, the crossbars are an inch or so higher than the fin antenna.

Any updates? I found out yesterday that my wife ordered a set of BB sliders from them for my birthday. She ordered online in mid February and has been unable to reach anyone since. She's had no reply to emails. They don't answer he phone and their voicemail mailbox is full.

The body roll should go away with the sway bar installation. That's what sway bars are for. Looking forward to hearing an update afterwards. Guy
