What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

Yea, we joined this site at the same exact time, so that makes you a personality expert based on the model truck I drive?
Seems like you want to be liked more than you have common sense to assume that people that drive a certain model are in anyway similar, some or all, either way. You know nothing about me.

Thinking that all non-trdpros must have leaf springs?

Why not ??? I spent money on HID and wished these were out before I bought those... I went with the D2's instead of the DOT ones... I wanted something super brighter.

Do fight it brudda...

Damn you, well I would need to buy OEM fogs for my swap anyway. Atleast that is what is convincing me at this point.
 
I typically don't engage in the TRD Pro pissing matches, but leaf springs, seriously?

Here's what the TRD Pro is in a nutshell. Badges, a unique color if you have Inferno Red or the new babyshit beige, shocks and springs(that anyone can purchase and throw on any 5th gen), some interior accents and a different set of wheels and tires.

It's the same basic truck as any other 5th gen. It's not like your driving around the space shuttle while the rest of us are driving stagecoaches.

I totally understand the trd pro... it's for people that want to buy from the factory modded off roader and never modify it. Their just content to what it comes with. They probably do lite wheelin ... but nothing crazy

Me personally the cool KDSS system sold me on the trail models. But the cooless wore off after finding out; all the issues with it when lifting your Rig. And all the long term issues with reliability. And how there absolutely no rear sway bar tabs on the rears...

Like my Chinese friend always say...
YOU PEOPLE ARE DREAM KILLAS!!!! lol

Most people don't modify them? Clearly I didn't get that memo!

I did get mine because I thought it would be adequate for the wheeling I wanted to do. I also loved the color and the whole look.
After wheeling with it I saw that it needed more lift, bigger tires and better body armor. Even so, I don't regret the decision to get it. Rusted tomato is a great color.

I'm not sure if you've read threads or have done research on the KDSS system on the Lexus and other vehicles. There are no long term or reliability issues. Only issues with it are when you go long travel. Works fine with the extended setups.

This is exactly how rumors get started. If you are going to say these things... back the up with proof. What issues when lifting your rig? Where are the numbers for all of these reliability issues? Ever drive a 1980's Audi? :D

Rear sway bar tabs? Sure okay 1 out of 3. Notice they aren't on the front knuckles either? Why would they? Weld and/or replace, easily.

Lol have you read the threads on the long term reliability and how much it is to fix KDSS ???

Once it goes bad on mine... I'm just ripping it out... I know what the problems are. Shit I think I was the first to do a 2" body lift on a 2014 4Runner Trail...

Heres another issue with KDSS depending on how the level is on your driveway or the parking spot where you park. Your ride height will vary with it... I've seen my ride sag from passenger side by half an inch. Drove me crazy...

There's no rumors... People whos had problems with them have had problems with them... research it on the forum...

There's a hole for them in the front knuckles on mine... So unless you've seen my Build Thread and what I've done and how I've disected my trail... then pls refrain from insults.
