    That's crazy. What is the process for replacing the roof?

    PSA for those of you with steering shakes: new findings and theories

    I had a second set of 265/70/17 C Load KO2s put on a couple weeks ago and had shimmy issues. I took the truck back to DT yesterday and they did exactly as the OP described. They used the "technical" or whatever option on the Hunter Road Force machine. One tire was showing 39lbs road force, and...

    Whining Noise From Engine

    Yeah, that's what's interesting to me. Sure there's no engine failures reported to this, but *something* happens in the drivetrain to start making a noise. Mine went 99k miles without it and now has it. I've read this thread obviously, and a bunch on the FJ forums. I can't find any failures...

    Whining Noise From Engine

    Mine just started doing this exactly like the videos posted. 2014 Trail at 99k miles. While I get that it’s “normal” I’m curious to know what physical change in the drivetrain has happened to create this whine.

    255/75/17 or 285/70/17 KO2s on 2" Lift?

    The stock size KO2s (265/70/17 C) are 31.7" tall, 10.7" wide. The 255/75/17 Cs are 32.1" tall, 10" wide. So very close, but the 255s are slightly taller and skinnier. Lots of guys run the 275/70/17 E, which are 32.2" tall, 11" wide. They also weigh 55lbs vs the 255s weighing 45lbs. The...

    255/75/17 or 285/70/17 KO2s on 2" Lift?

    I should have Slee's 5th Gen "low lift" on shortly (OME 2883, 2895e, Nitros, SPC UCAS) and am going to get new tires. I was pretty set on 255/75/17 C-Load KO2s since they're slightly taller and skinner than stock tires. Then I started looking at 285/70/17s in C-load and considering those. I...

    ‘14 TE hit 100k mi - Suspension Refresh?

    I called Slee, Wheelers, and Toytec. They all had slightly different recommendations when I described what I'm looking for. They all agreed that my OEM shocks are likely shot at 100k miles. Toytec - The only thing they have in stock is their Boss Aluma 2.0 kit. Recommended to set the fronts at...

    ‘14 TE hit 100k mi - Suspension Refresh?

    My 2014 Trail non KDSS just hit 100k miles. I’ve noticed, whether real or just mental, that it seems a lot more floatier and rides like an old Cadillac. More rocking on stopping and accelerating, and more body roll in turns. It’s smooth like riding on a cloud but doesn’t feel sure footed in case...

    Did Toyota screw themselves by announcing 2020 TRD Pro too early?

    Yeah I hate mine too. The fact is whatever touch screen radio you get in your car will be outdated in two years just like your cell phone. I would pay a premium for a radio delete option since I plan to keep my 4Runner for many years. I'd love if Toyota would offer kind of a clubsport type...

    Did Toyota screw themselves by announcing 2020 TRD Pro too early?

    I can't understand putting off purchasing a truck just because next year the radio screen will be bigger. Maybe a small fraction of buyers are doing what you say, but the majority of people decide they need/want a car and go buy one. I guess TRDPRO people are different though.

    Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S

    Anybody else running these? I have about 45k miles on my KO2s and while they have a good amount of tread life left the wet traction has gotten pretty bad. I'm considering a set of SL AT3 4Ss.

    Baja XL: An aweseom rally from Los Angeles to Cabo and back!

    Cool thread. Too bad the new Facebook Instagram icons right in the middle of your photos ruin it.

    How do we disable the Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest link buttons inside pics?

    Yeah it's awful when the link icons block the subject of the photo. Really ruins all the picture threads.

    Headlight Bulb Replacement - Sylvania vs Phillips

    I got the Philips H11 ones that Daniel Stern's recommended and one already burned out after less than a year.

    Ah, I gotcha. Kind of up by all the government offices near the reservoir dam?
