lol, Thanks!
Not exactly anytime, since its 4 hours away from where I live, but yes it is nice to have it as an option
Really beautiful, I am seriously considering moving to the central coast. It's just so much more peaceful and different out there.

It's not what you can do for your 4Runner, but what your 4Runner can do for you.
Brought home my new toy.
OH MY... that thing is beautiful. I had to fight myself off last year from buying the Jekyll. But I'm glad I didn't end up buying it now. My riding has just about ceased to exist.
Thanks. I'm finding a little more time to ride again now that the baby is getting bigger... and I got almost 40% off this one. Couldn't pass up the deal. I'm dying to get it out on the trails. This SRAM XX kit is slick. Buttery smooth compared to the X9 stuff from 08 I was used to.

The XX was the bees knees when I was working at the bike shop last year. Pretty easy to work on, but the front derailure could get finicky sometimes. If you have the XX brakes be sure to break them in the right way according to SRAM. We had some issues getting them to break in right and they would do all sorts of screaming under any pad contact. Had them on a Litespeed Cohutta and Cannondale Carbon Flash 29er. SRAM is a fantastic company to work with if you ever need anything from them.

Was it 40% off cause you're missing half your fork? ;-) Nice ride. I'm on a Yeti 575 - made right near where i live.

MMMMMMmmmmmm....Bike porn! Nice bike components are just as bad if not worse than the cost of 4runner mods!

I think they are worse. Price a set of Crank Brothers rims lol.
Anyway, I changed up my 4Runner some:
Traded it!

You know, the KDSS is nice and all around corners and during braking but that is not the big thing(s) I noticed so far:
1. Brakes are much different. Gone is the 2" travel before engagement and the "squish" has been reduce to almost nothing.
2. Heated wiper grid.
3. Seat difference - much firmer and better for me.
4. No low speed 1st to 2nd gear transmission shudder when turning.
5. Homelink seems to send a much stronger signal. Have not tested it fully yet though.
6. Entune HU better for phone use
7. Not BLACK anymore. Will cut my detail time by 90% lol.
My question is: "Has Toyota actually changed these things (brake pedal feel, transmission MAP, Homelink) or did I just get a substandard one last time?"

Today
A few rainy days is Southern Cal. Wife was gone at work so I found a big empty road and checked out the anti-lock brakes and Trac.
The ABS let me steer while operating as expected. It also cleared the stuff I had on the back seat and sent it all to the floor. That added to the noise of the ABS.
Turned off Trac, got good wheel spin coming around a corner. Turned it on and I could hear and feel it grab a few times, but took off with no wheel spin -- That stuff really works. This was all in 2WD.
