4runner TRD Pro

[Crusifix]

A little test drive after installing Toytec lift spacers last night. I stacked a 3/4 and 1/4 plate on each side. Drives and handles like stock.

So what are your impressions of running all that weight on stock suspension? Appreciable differences in acceleration, braking, handling? Do you feel like you are running a constantly loaded/compressed suspension (for lack of better terms)? Any drawbacks from shifting so much weight to the rear with the tire? Just interested in your general thoughts on it since you have been running that set up.

I haven't seen any challenges on or off road really. Morena ( my rig) kicked ass in Ouray at the FJ Summit and conquered every obstacle put in front of her.

When I am in town and not planning to go on any excursions, I do remove the rear tire carrier and swing out for a more streamline look. I really don't notice much difference between having it on and off.

Man I went to the dealer near me in Houston and was asking about a TRD. They sat me down in the office and told me that I had a zero chance of getting a TRD. None. Zilch. He pulled up all the undelivereds around me and confirmed that every one was spoken for. I came home and emailed all those dealers that had them coming. Every one emailed me back and said their's were already taken, just awaiting delivery. The next morning one called me and said their's would actually be available. About two weeks later I had it in my garage and 6000 miles later I love it!

I don't think mine ever had a previous buyer. I believe they mark them as sold so other dealers don't try to get them to transfer them over. Just a theory.

Where are you located?

nice flex! i like the stance with the spidertrax too, did you have the wheel spacers on prior to the 1" lift? looked thru your stuff but didn't see a pic. did you have to trim much either way?

Yes. I put them on about a month ago. I just moved the wheel liner forward per the instructions in the how-to section. I also headed up and reformed the mud flaps in the front so that they would make less contact. Having done all of that, I don't think it would have been necessary with the lift.

Thanks!

Here is a side shot of how she sits now. I may add another inch to inch and a half to the rear.

Wow some of you have some awesome looking TRD's!

I was lucky enough to find one of the last 2015's available last week and traded in my FJ Trail teams to get it.

Question - tire pressure on the door is 32.5 .. is this correct????

I thought the nitto terra grapplers were e rated tires thus making it a 46PSI standard like the FJ cruiser trail teams edition..

Am I off base here? 32.5 seems very low.

Not bought but I just drove by one at my local dealer, who NEVER gets 4wd 4runners. Nice looking rig. $43,756.

WOW.. so they do have 2016's on the lots already?? I nearly killed myself for a week looking for a 2015 and ended up driving 7 hours one way to pick one up..Was told a few months before the 2016 hit the lot..

Earlier word had them shipping in late August or Early September. There was also a Sandstorm Tundra Pro behind that 4Runner.

Lol

CJ, you seem to be spending a little too much time on this thread..........
Are you joansing(sp) for a sandstorm.........lol, say it ain't so. I do like the color. Kind of like a modern day version of the VW's color I grew up with in the 70's. Maybe a little darker though. Come to the dark side......lol.

It all started by an email, 10 min later I got a reply that a 2016 TRD Pro in Super White was on a ship from Japan to CA in 10 days. It came on time.

I'm very happy with my TRD Pro 4Runner.

The label is correct. The Nittos are P metric not E rated.

Finally got mine!

Had my name on the list since June. New TRD Pro finally showed up this week - turns out its a 2016, not that there's any difference. Pretty happy with it.

Took it to a local spot to get it dirty and play with all the 4x4 gismos and see what's what. Overall pretty impressed with the crawl control feature - although I think I'd only really use it if I was stuck. Seemed to be good for really steep downhill stuff where you don't want ride the brake and ABS.

I traded in a Jeep JK, so its going to take a bit to get used to a larger vehicle with a longer wheel base in the dirt. Not to mention I kinda miss my manual tranny! Already got some bangs and scratches on the front skid plate - chalk it up to finding limits!

Taking it up to Big Bear this weekend to rally some trails with a couple other trucks

Is this the first '16 on the forum?

looks good. The stock stance looks like a stink bug with it's butt up in the air. I'd leave the rear alone now if it were mine

So do you still have a spare in the factory location as well then? Does your SW rear bumper have the fuel can carrier and if so is it removable as well?
