    Mammoth trip Advice

    First off, Enjoy! I'm jealous as i won't be making it to mammoth this year, however i've done the drive a number of times. The drive up is straightforward, just watch for whiteouts as mentioned and also wind. I used to have a snowboard rack that held the boards like 30 degrees from vertical...

    Lake Arrowhead Trip and Snow Chains

    Just buy the chains and throw them in the garage when you get back...CHP may require you to carry chains at the first dusting of snow and they'll be a lot more than $50 at the top/bottom of the mountain gas station if you find yourself in need of them. Personally, in 15 years of snowboarding i...

    Not going rock climbing. Sr5 or trail?

    Based on your description, any t4r is more than adequate, including the 2wd. If all you want to do is get a little dusty then either trim will outperform your needs. That's not meant to be a knock. Everyone on the forum loves to see an upgraded t4r but nobody gives 2shits if you don't, do...

    Where to live in the OC?

    I feel like price range, # of bedrooms, Sqft, etc. is important before posting a helpful reply....however, I have a friend down there, walking distance to the beach is a plus!

    South Bay Truck and 4x4 (LA area)

    So far I'm happy with it. It's definitely stiffer and of course everyone will have their own opinions, but for me I feel like its an improvement driving around town and on the highway. If nothing else the nose drive while braking is significantly improved. After about a week the uni-balls...

    Are all non-ARB fridges garbage?

    Has anyone used this on a longer trip (4+ days)? I assume you unplug while parked and plug in while on the trail but is a ~half day of run time per day enough to keep the contents cool after a few days? Obviously a regular cooler with a couple bucks worth of ice will be fine for weekend trip...

    South Bay Truck and 4x4 (LA area)

    Thanks! I just got what comes in the Icon Stage II with tubular UCA kit. It lifted the rear 2.5" with stock tires. The 33's seem to fit just fine. I came across some debate on whether new UCA's are required for a 3" lift in the front. Supposedly the right person can get everything aligned...

    South Bay Truck and 4x4 (LA area)

    I found myself in the possession of an Icon Stage II kit about a week ago (Thank you Chas TotalAutomotiveLV for the t4r group buy). It literally showed up 3 days after i committed, I mean i expect that kind of turn around from amazon but I was impressed when i found the kit on my porch that...

    Suspension upgrade please help

    I second the icon setup, its a little more $ but you didn't just buy a $30-40k truck to skimp on the suspension. Also, forget the dealer, they obviously don't know what they're talking about and if they wanted your business they would have worked with you to recommend something they could...

    What are your thoughts on 4Runners competitors?

    I'm not sure an unbiased opinion is a realistic request here. Most if not everyone reading this was in your shoes at one point and decided the 4runner was the right choice for them. Of course you have to look at what YOU want/need from your vehicle. For me it really came down to just a few...
