That plastic tubing is terrible and kinks extremely easy! Especially trying to leave some extra above the read diff for wheel droop.
What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

Maybe it's because I ran the tube from rear to front, but I didn't have any issue leaving enough coiled up to accommodate suspension travel when starting in that direction. I put it up on rear jack stands so I could hang the suspension all the way as well.

It was not necessarily having enough tube as it was more of an issue coiling it up above without kinking.
I prob over thought it as it seems to be fine, especially I had no issues in Moab. Just wish the hose was a bit more flexible like a gas line. Also, the size of the tube makes it difficult to incorporate the rear locker into the breather like Wanderlost Overland does.

Yeah, didn't have much choice with the way my schedule worked out. I covered 1550mi in 2 days to get to Phoenix, but now I'm on my 2nd night in the Tucson area waiting on the weather to get well ahead of me. Saw rain, sleet, hail, then huge snowflakes earlier today.you managed to pick the one weekend we will get rainop2:
Planning on hitting the road tomorrow morning heading for New Mexico. Trying to map out a more southerly route back to Louisiana with dispersed camping along the way.

We don't get snow very often here in Portland. So I went for a quick drive around. Up past the 800 ft elevation, they got around 3 inches or so.

after 3.5 years and about 40,000 miles finally swapped out the BFG ko2's. Went with the cooper at3 XLT. I love them on my f250 so had to go with them for the minivan. 285/70r17, did all 5 tires for 1600 OTD including road hazard warranty from discount.

Can't wait to get rid of my KO2s. I hate them. Looking at Wildpeak, AT3s, and the new Maxxis AT

I love the Wildpeaks. I know some have had problems with balancing them but mine are fine.
Give the ATX's a shot as well. I live nearby (north of Beaverton) and have had good luck with them so far in snow/rain/mud. I run SL, though. Discount tire cut me a great deal on 5 with a discount on their warranty.

I've never been a fan of BFG either, I've seen so many sidewalls rip/tear and then the tires are done.Why do you hate the KO2s? I was about to buy a set in 285/70
My buddy here in town has a side wall tear and hasn't wheeled his 4runner in about 2 years. It tore on the street or at the mall or something.

my 3 XL pro's from Baja Designs showed up today. Cant wait to get them wired up. They'l go on the outside of the front bumper using rago Fab brackets bolted to an aluminum extruded crossbar. Idea is to make it easily removable, just unbolt the crossbar, unplug the lights.
I liked them TBH. They didn't chunk out at all, did fine in the limited snow we had. they started to cup in the last couple months though so that really made them ride crappy. I'm not a fan of the Falkens aesthetically. And the coopers have been FANTASTIC on my f250 so the choice was easy.

Smashed the pinch weld
After a year and a half of rubbing at full lock and articulation, I decided to take the leap on my 4runner and do the "BFH Mod". I cut a bunch of sheet metal and plastic and did the big "SMASH!, SMASH!, SMASH!" on the pinch welds. I decided to bend the welds outward into the recess to maximize the space. I covered the entire bent over pinch weld with 3M seam sealer and then sprayed 3M rubberized undercoating. I gained a ton of space and can finally take advantage of my BMC. I feel like I can make the jump from my 295/70/R17 Toyo M/T's to 285/75/R17 without much issue. Time to test.
