[15TRDP]

If you wouldn't mind sharing where you purchased these two items, I would appreciate it? Did it make any noticeable changes tot he ride?

I also ordered their front differential drop kit, for 30$ figured it was worth the extra peace of mind

As far as ride goes. Using my calibrated butt gauge, no difference. Now after adding the tires, that made a difference!

Just ordered my full size spare, cooper at maxx 255/8017, and Yakima tire carrier bracket for my roof rack.

Gave my eldest his first solo drivers seat time on his 10th birthday. https://vimeo.com/134795565

New rubbers arrived... BFG AT KO2 @ 275/70r17...waiting on other parts..

Also ordered my n-fab Nerf bars today too.

 

[Friggin Idiot]

Ran errands including grabbing the TRD Pro garnish from UPS, and scoring 3 boxes of bulk 22LR as local Wally-World. Installed the TRD Pro center bumper garnish and grill, and gave K't'inga a long overdue hand wash. Ran out of energy and daylight before I could get to the wax.

You used both upfront? Seems like a bad idea. So you're 2" higher in the rear and almost 3" higher in the front than a standard 4Runner(almost 2" on a trd pro) really looks great.

deal with this crap on the drive home today. thank god this wasn't during winter and icy roads. arms get tired holding the steering wheel at 2 oclock all the way home.

the aftermath of the winds last night. this tree was swaying a lot at the base, told the warden its swaying way to much. not even 30 minutes later this happens.



pull the NOAA stats for yesterday for around this time, bold wind direction and speed, red is gust.

Yup, I'm not a huge spacer fan personally, but felt it was the best option, since there is only 8000 miles on this suspension. I'll do a full upgrade when the stock components need replaced.

According to toytec, I'm still in the safe zone as far as angular stress on components. Like I mentioned, I also dropped the differential an inch, to keep the cv's at a safer angle (those were really all I was concerned with)

Installed Metal Tech 4x4 Rock Sliders easily. Love them!

lol he's gonna be way to tired after shoveling 4ft of snow

 

[NewguyNY]

^ Haha. Nope. No driveway in snow, I may let him have some empty snowy parking lot time though.

How long did that install take?

 

[Friggin Idiot]

How long did that install take?

The actual install only took about 45-60 minutes. I spent lots of time cleaning everything after taking it apart that I'm not counting in that. Installation was simple, just be careful with those stupid plastic pop retainers.

Really wanted to fish the blue river this weekend so made a trip up to Keystone. I had no idea where to camp but ended up finding a couple places for the weekend. Keystone Gulch and Peru Creek both had amazing spots and easily accessible by any 4Runner. Here are a few from the weekend.

 

[555R]

those are the poem TRD wheels?
What size tires did you go with? any lift?

Mounted the roof box for camping this weekend.

 

[Diver Deuce]

Fiddling around with the placement of the roof rack and light bar and the sun hit it at a cool angle.

 

[keyser_soze]

Took the OHV road to "the shooting range" today.

My friend took a few photos while I was messing around

Came home and found these waiting for me at the door. These will be installed tomorrow with some 285 Terra Grappler G2s

 

[Crusifix]

I found a cool old church and the top of a mountain with mine..

 

[Diver Deuce]

Hit 100,000 miles today.

Slightly creepy...
