    Portal Axles

    It's a decent price as it basically includes a regear and a 5-inch lift in one step without trashing your cv angles. Not sure everyone is realizing how inclusive this is. The RCLTHD is also an option but the actual price when you look at their required parts page is 9700 -11700. And doesn't...

    Adding FLIR to 4Runner

    So as an engineer who has built IR systems for this lanes that’s not going to work at all. The FLIR system you would need is the pathfindIR system. It’ll run 3k + install. And even then. Just wait if you want IR. The newest gen Augmented reality will be able to pull in and boresight IR feeds.

    5th Gen - KDSS Compatible Lower Control Arms!

    On the rear I agree since you increase the angular travel of the solid axle. LT front is only from a longer LCA though. Not a larger angle than extended travel shocks already offer or people would trashing their CVs. KDSS would allow the same angle of travel already offered by the stock LCA...

    tune up

    How many miles do you have on it and have they been city or freeway? If you reset the MPG it takes some time for it to level out.

    Icon Lift question on T4R trail w/ KDSS

    This doesn’t move it off the centerline. It just moves it up and you can look there is nothing there.

    Roof Rack Sealant? Need Advice

    Definitely Use RTV, silicone based or not doesn't really matter. I tried to leave it alone the first time and had to go back. It leaks through the threads so Gobi's seal is not sufficient since it doesn't seal the screw threads.

    Bass Rattling Rear Window

    Not the window on mine On mine it's the license plate that rattles. I don't get any rattle from inside the door but I can hear the plate from both the inside and the outside.

    6th generation 4Runner?

    Sequoia? Really? They haven't sold more than 16k Sequoias a year since 2009. I'd figure they would go ahead and kill it off, can't be profitable to retool.

    Annoying unlock beeps

    That's not what Carista is... You aren't installing a chip or changing any locked settings. This in no way voids the warranty any more than setting the stations on your radio. You aren't "hacking" anything or installing a mod of any type. These are options already available with different...

    12v / USB Power - how to make always hot?

    Probably be fine. No, but probably not necessary. If you drive more than 40 minutes a week I'd assume an ipad mini would stay charged perfectly fine. I would advise not using the 4runner USB as it has a very low current threshold. I'd use a 10W or more USB plug in the 12V outlet. Also the DC...

    Vancouver or BC shops in canada? Need a lift on KDSS

    Could have worked on one and forgot or not known the system name... KDSS isn’t really involved or at all common so I wouldn’t expect shops to remember the name. A mechanic could easily have installed a system. Saw the unusual sway bar, went “neat” and then not bothered about it again. It...
