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

[mrblah]

put on some side moldings that I got from amazon for 150. Not sure how well they will work so time will tell.

New BFGs

I could barely sit still or hold a thought in my head...its a feeling only a man getting Ko2s installed can feel.....


Guy said he ran em at 35lbs of pressure...any feedback from the owners here...they are 265s... I have a lot of HWY commute each day

I run 275s and typically run them at 40 psi. I have found that the ride around town and on the commute is much smoother and the car handles better than when they are down near 35psi (feels squishy in the corners) although I believe my load rating is E and yours may be D or E, depending.

Drive them around at 35 for a few days and then push them up higher and see what you like better?

Thanks CO-TO .....they are C rated... i'll crawl around the Forum and see if I can dig up some pressure talk

I had them on my Tacoma and ran 40. with no weight over them then spun a lot but drove great. I tried them at 32, 35 and 40. 40 by far was the best ride. it was firm (the Tacoma was an off road, so it was stiff to begin with) but rode great

Same here. Between 38 and 40 psi (depends on the temperature). That is calculated based on the tire load factor and 4Runner weight. C-rated.

pulled over to help a family (g'ma/g'pa and 2 grand kids) change a front flat. they were kind of a mess and what they had done was pretty dangerous, i arrived to find they had:
- put their scissor jack in the wrong spot, too far back with too much weight over the front. showed them the notches indicating where it should sit.
- removed flat tire before lowering their spare, only to find they didn't have the right extensions to lower the spare.
- being that the shoulder was not very level, the car had tipped forward off the wrongly placed jack and the lower arm/rotor was resting in the dirt.
- no one was watching approaching traffic to make sure these crazy-ass West Texas drivers weren't about to plow them

fortunately the spare wasn't snug, it was just loose enough to lift and free from the hoist, and there was still enough room underneath to get the jack into the correct spot up front. had g'ma spot for traffic while we got it sorted out. their spare pressure was also really low so got that filled up and gave them my old Viair 70p that is useless on these larger ATs

nice people, hopefully they learned a few things

All I see is a bee-u-ti-ful suspension system.

Added some goodies today. JBA UCA's and Dobinsons C59-302's in the front, C59-505's in the rear.

Good feedback, I'll try to inch up to there.... any issues with uneven wear at 40ish? That's what the tech at NTB told me ("any higher and you'll wear the middle unevenly"), but I think he was making a generalization.

Nothing I can see. At 40psi I still see the tire sits "flat", I doubt it is overinflated. When I check the pressure at cold day (below freezing) I have around 37psi, when it's warm I see 40psi. No visible change in quality of ride or fuel economy. I'm getting constant 20mpg driving mixed the city and county roads.

One thing I noticed is KO2 has a bit worse traction on wet pavement comparing to P-type Michelin M/S I used to have on my Tacoma (now I have KO2 on my Tacoma too). But I drive very passive keeping save distance so it does not bother me.

Installed my RCI skids and have that lovely rattle. So going to do the clamp mod in the am to fix it.

Got in a little lift/wheel/tire combo today.
