Baja Designs lenses are user-serviceable so you can remove those 4 face screws and inspect the seal and lens. I had a moisture issue with an S1 light and found the seal was slightly pinched at the factory. They sent a replacement out and I was good to go. When you reinstall, not a bad idea to...

I would put a large sum of money on 'no'. The 4Runner is likely up for replacement in 2022 or 2023 at the latest and it doesn't move nearly as many units as the Tacoma which set another sales record despite increased competition from the Ranger and Gladiator. Unless Toyota wanted to make them...

Honestly, there is no doubt that adding a second interface increases the potential for failure but with how low the failure rate is on Spidertrax, I'd be willing to bet most of them are rare defects or people who don't install them correctly. Since the adapters are billet aluminum, torque is...

Thing is that physics doesn't work that way. There is a certain amount of leverage created by a wheel moved out from stock and it doesn't matter if it's through a 1.5" adapter or 1.5" of backspacing. The hub isn't going to know the difference and it does have greater leverage than an OEM...

Proper spacers/adapters like Spidertrax are no different than a wheel with a negative offset - both are going to cause premature wear on the hub bearings in the same way because they both move the load center of the wheel outward, increasing leverage on the bearing. Otherwise there is little...

The problem with lifting too high from a utilitarian perspective is that your travel is still limited by the A-arm suspension. All a lift does is make the zero point of that arc a little higher - sacrificing a bit of droop for more static ground clearance. Beyond about 2" IMO you start to lose...
