    All New Bilstein 8112/8100 High Performance Suspension

    They look amazing and early feedback sounds great. However they are priced for those that can start their campfire at night using $100 bills as kindling. Guess the 6112/5160 combo is for us common working folk and these new ones are for the Jeff Bezos/Elon Musk type 4Runner drivers. Before...

    Towing 4000lbs 1700 miles

    You’ll be fine towing 4,000 lbs. It just sucks towing with the 4Runner because it’s underpowered and the power it has is up in the RPM range, so it always feels like you have to flog it and ride it hard to get the power out of it. But it’ll drive all day at 4,000 rpm no problem, it won’t hurt...

    Let's see your Travel Trailer Combo's

    On my setup towing the Patriot with 285/70/17 KO2,s I re-geared to 4.56. It is much better with the regear, but not great. I don’t think there is getting to great with this powerplant short of throwing on a super charger. Regear just makes it more tolerable. I find the 4.56 a good compromise...

    ATF Exchange (using the cooling line)

    Did this today for the second time. All went smoothly. First time I did it, a few years ago, I didn’t put enough new fluid in and nothing came out during the temp check. So this time I added extra to make sure I put enough in and over corrected as two quarts came out during the temp check...

    Rolling Past 200K on 5th Gen

    I do exactly the same. Delvac is a superb oil and Valvoline Maxlife is no slouch. I do all my own maintenance as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Front Body Mount Clearance

    I may just have them set caster at +5* and see how it does. But I’m thinking it’ll rub pretty bad off road, but maybe not. If it does a BMC may be in order. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Could have been me! You’re in Boise? You have someone in Boise who you’d have do the BMC? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    No spacers. Should have mentioned I’m on stock trail wheels also. Trying to avoid a BMC, but will do if necessary. Pretty sure I can get +5 caster. Thanks for the response. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
