    FrontRunner Outfitters Prototype Drawer System for 5th Gen

    It looks like a mount that fits the receiver hitch.

    Has anybody ADDED a rear sliding cargo tray?

    Does anybody know of an aftermarket solution? It seems the Beyond Cargo sliding tray is no longer available. Any other options?

    Moab for beginners?

    Making a trek out to Moab in September. Spending a few days there, so what are some trails I need to check out? Mostly stock 2016 Trail(Bilsteins, 285's). Nothing too hardcore, just seeing the scenery mostly.

    Speedometer buffer?

    Please end this for me.

    I have put Hylomar sealer on every fill & drain plug I've had. I even reuse the crush washers(with a little Hylomar on both side) Haven't had a leak in the 30+ years I've been working on cars.

    Trail Edition spare tire?

    Do the Trail Editions come with a different size rim on the spare? Or do all4Runners come with a 7 1/2" Steele?

    Lift 1st attempt: Unsuccessful, best way to deal with tierod ends?

    I had to shoot a little penetrating oil around the shank, then whack the spindle with a big hammer a few times. Try to set up a vibration so the oil will migrate along the shanft through the spindle.

    DIY DRL in Fog-Light Bezel

    I guess I'm on the other end of the spectrum. I'm happy I can turn the DRL's off.

    Front 5100 re-adjustment

    I'm thinking the toe setting would probably have more to do with tire wear, but I'm keeping and eye on them until I can get in for an alignment check.

    285 observations

    Stock rims. Stock UCA's. I pulled the inner fender liner forward, then trimmed the bottom of the fender flush with it. I have to go back and clean it up, I was in a time crunch. I'll smooth it out with a pencil sander. I heated up and pushed the liner back a little too since I was there.

    Front 5100 re-adjustment

    I just did this yesterday. Pulled the shocks and went from 1.75 to 2.5. I compressed the spring enough to reset the snap ring without pulling the assembly apart. Funny thing is, it's less twitchy now than it was at the lower height. When I originally put the shocks on I had it aligned at the...

    285 observations

    Just put 285 Duratracs on my 2016 Trail. Went with a set of Bilstein 5100s set at the highest setting in the front, and Daystar 1.5" poly spacers in the rear. My speedometer is almost dead on now, and the steering is less "twitchy" than it was when I had the Bilstein set at 1.75" with stock...

    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    Ordered 285/70/17 Goodyear Duratracs. Now I have to up the Bilstein 5100 lift and put in rear spacers.
