Looking for recommendations for a aftermarket front bumper for a 2018 4runner TRD Off Road. Leaning toward a well integrated streamline design, not too bulky or heavy. Wondering if aluminium is the way to go. Thanks

Thought I read somewhere here on the forum that setting the front 5100’s at .85 leveled the rig. Bad info... or bad memory? Thx S1

Have a chance to pick up a used set of black TRD /Trail Running boards for 125-. Won’t be able to have the 4R there so I’m wondering if someone knows if they’ll fit, holes, hardware etc.. These are the black running boards with the U shape design along the top. Second question, the Predator...

Thanks for checking. No different from that, have to see if I can get a pic.

Out looking at a few new 4runners yesterday, looked under hood at 3/4 vehicles and noticed that one of the engines had a very rough surface on the aluminum head/block. This was the front of the engine right behind the radiators. Surface was spikey, lots of raised edges as opposed the smooth and...

Can someone tell me if the 2018 TRD OffRoad Premium has the cold weather package (whatever that includes)? I'd like to know if it has the heated lower windshield (maybe side mirrors too) that prevents ice build-up at the wiper level? Two diff sales people said "I'm not sure" :doh: Thanks

If you bump up to an E rated tire your body roll will become a non-issue. Tires are heavier but the stiffer sidewall significantly diminishes roll. Running tire pressures around 40 works best but you'll have to experiment with what you prefer.

Which NorCal dealer did you buy from? Thx

Toyota & Cummins ? Maybe someone can add to this but the service mgr of my local Toyota dealer said that Toyota is in talks w/Cummins about an engine for the US market. Why Toyota can't use the engines they currently use in other countries didn't come up but my guess would be import...

...... and the red/orange text color is near impossible to read in daylight, especially with sunglasses.

Hop a cheap flight to Reno where you you can rent one at Reno Toyota. Run around the desert a little and then hit the Hwy 80 where you can run at 80-85 without too much worry about a ticket... Maybe you can win enough at the casinos to buy the car (don't count on it) Seriously, I rented a SR5...

I'm not certain there's any wing-nuts on a 5th Gen 4Runner but there's going to be a lot of them lined up for this...more fuel for the AM/FM Radio Talk Show kooks.

Will the negative offset your looking at put the wheel/tire outside the body line at all?

We're only two months into 2012 but does anyone know if the 4Runner is due for an upgrade in 2013?

I don't see any real problem with the X-REAS suspension on the Limited. If you're rock crawling and/or really doing some seriously angled four wheeling then yes the KDSS and the Trail model would be the way to go. I've just spent a couple of days off-road in the Nevada mountains in a SR5 and it...
