    Falken Rubitrek A/T

    I have these on my 2015 4runner Trail. I have had them for around 5,000 miles or so. From what I understand the tire shops that buy directly from Falken can sell this tire. That's what I was told by Tire Choice anyway. I went to buy the Wildpeak and they showed me this tire as well. It...

    Airbag recall question

    A lot of people have had this issue with the exhaust pipe making contact with the RCI skid plate. You don't need to add shims. Just put a hose clamp around the exhaust hanger rubber that is across from where it contacts on the driver's side. Tighten the hose clamp a little and it will lift...

    another raptor vs 4runner question

    I would personally stay with the set up you have now if you plan on keeping the vehicle long term. If you buy a used Ford Raptor you may have to start making repairs to it not long after buying depending on the mileage. The 4runner would definitely be the better choice in the long run. If...

    Why my 4Runner is better than a Jeep!!

    Did the owner of the Jeep know what was wrong with it? Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

    Used oil analysis baselines <5000 miles

    I'm almost positive Mobil makes the synthetic 0w-20 for Toyota.

    Battery Replacement

    I'm not sure if anyone is interested in battery weight but I pulled the OEM Panasonic battery out yesterday and weighed it. It weighed in at 40 pounds.

    Used oil analysis baselines <5000 miles

    You may have seen this thread already. Blackstone oil report I posted a few samples in that thread. I was originally concerned about the high copper but eventually Blackstone said that seems to be normal for this engine. I also paid to check the TBN which which basically tells how much life...

    Whats the best battery these days

    The Autozone and Everstart batteries he has listed are also made by East Penn. They are probably the same exact battery as the Duracell you are using but just rebranded for that particular retailer. You can look through the Deka catalog cross reference I listed a few posts before.

    Whats the best battery these days

    I think the Autozone and EverStart are the exact same battery made by East Penn I believe. Either should be good. I found this Deka information yesterday. Their batteries are made by East Penn and they have a cross reference chart to show the rebranded names for various retailers. Both of...

    High mileage and suspension

    Thanks for that information. Hopefully the new coilovers will have it dialed in again.

    Battery Replacement

    I will probably take mine out an weigh it to see the actual weight. Deka has a battery that is exact OE fit and it weighs 41 lbs, I believe East Penn makes these batteries. If this is the case it would be an easy way to shave almost 20 lbs. of weight up front when it's time to replace the...

    Battery Replacement

    I'm almost positive this is the model of Panasonic battery that comes stock in our 4runners. I will try to pop the hood later today on mine to confirm the model.

    Battery Replacement

    Does anyone know the weight of the stock Panasonic battery? I have seen 60 lbs. listed online but that number seems high judging by the size of the battery. Also, I ran across this last night while searching the part number for the Panasonic battery. 31500-SS0-A02 - Genuine Honda Battery...

    High mileage and suspension

    Are there any bushings that could be replaced to tighten up the vehicle wandering and steering as well? I'm going to put some new coilovers and shocks on soon and was wondering about the bushings in the front suspension. I'm at around 80,000 miles and have a slight floaty and wandering of...
