I didn't ask about shackles...I have plenty. I was asking about front recovery point install. Debating between Apex and ARB. Jusr wanted to know if cav_liz went with something different...

So I found Treaty Oak Offroad makes a set as well and you don't seem to have to disconnect the swaybar to install them. Downside is bare metal so you're paying for powdercoat ($50) or bedliner, plus they recommend a bridle for even load distribution ($10-$30).
Apex- $170
Treaty Oak Offroad- $150

Anyone have Hankook ATM tires installed? If so can I see pics, plus how well do they handle snow, ice, and offroad? I have KO2s but looking to switch things up. Not sold on Hankook but I want road noise to a minimum and still manage the elements.
Just had my AG Pro front windows tinted today. Waiting to get my SCS wheels on.

Looking good! Details on where you picked up your TE37s and pricing?

I live in Canada so pricing and such might be a bit different compared to your US counterparts.
Long story short, it was a private sale. I was speaking with a friend that owns a local shop (Invision Auto) about some TEs on FB. I guess one of his friends read my posts about how I was window shopping some volks so he reached out and messaged me about a spare set he had.
I got them for $4100 CAD but they came with some duratracs that I can sell for maybe $300-$400. So, all said and done, I'm looking at around $3700-$3800 net. I had to drive 6 hours round trip to fetch them, though.
While speaking to my friend, from his shop, the TE37 PCDs are $1155 CAD each + tax. So x4 and then x 1.05 = $4830 CAD brand new. From what I was seeing, new in the USD hovers around $3500 USD all-in depending where you're from.
New Truck: 2020 TRD ORP. I've had 2018, 2016 and 2014 versions of 4Runners and have gotten much valuable information off this site over the years, but finally joined. With the new 2020, it seems like the throttle response from initial takeoff is better than the prior models. I don't know if this a change that was made after 2018 or if it is simply random luck, but the initial acceleration has a much better feel than the others I've had. Why have I traded every 2 years?? I use a volume dealer in AZ and my cost of ownership after trade-in has been at approximately $200 per month for the prior 4Runners so I've elected to trade every 2 years rather than hold long-term. The 2018 had "the" steering wheel vibration that was never fully resolved, so I was more excited to get this 2020 than any of the prior ones. The dealership allowed me to keep the side steps and wheels and tires off the 2018 as part of the trade, and this one drives great! I did a simple spacer lift, blacked out the valances and emblems, added window shades (big help in AZ) and tint. Hope everyone is safe and healthy in the current world.
