Just came home after being away for 3 weeks. Put the multimeter on the battery before starting the 4Runner, and it showed 11.87 volts. The car started just fine, but it clearly lost power while sitting in the garage.

Suggest looking at rock sliders instead of running boards. Rock sliders will protect your rig against off road hazards, and some of them even make great steps like running boards. Here's one example: https://dissentoffroad.com/products/6th-gen-4runner-rock-slider-steps

I'd suggest to get rock sliders before the lift. Rock sliders will protect a very vulnerable part of you 4Runner.

You can print and download to your heart’s content. But you will only have online access for those two days.

Not sure about the other parts, but the ARB digital tire inflator is not compatible with the OEM compressor kit. The OEM red curled up hose screws directly onto the valve stem, and the compressor controls inflates or deflates to your preset pressure.

Gas mileage sux, it rides like a truck and gets loud at 80+mph. Other than that it’s great! More seriously, I don’t feel particularly tired after driving a few hundred miles in a day, even after a few days. But a Lexus RX is quieter, more fuel efficient and more comfortable. So it’s all about...

I decided to go with an externally mounted rear camera. I have had the same setup on my 4th gen for several years and it's been working great. I tapped into the factory dash cam power connector, so no added fuse...

The way I can tell is switching between normal and sport when going up the hill @ 25mph towards home. Very noticeable difference in sound, kinda hilarious actually.

Agree 100%. I have a Magnaflow exhaust on my 4th gen and I find it somewhat loud and obnoxius, but the intake noise on the Trailhunter is nothing like that.

Not a huge fan of the "German Rainbow" either, so when I purchase something new I get something with color. I do believe it's all relative to what we expect and what we're used to. My 4th gen rides on Bilstein 6112/5160 and is actually fairly comfortable for what it is. Maybe that's why the...

I test drove a TRD Off Road and I purchased a Trailhunter. The TRD Off Road felt stiff, much more so than my old 4th gen. I would still have purchased it, but it was definitely less forgiving on both gravel and less than perfect pavement. My Trailhunter is much more comfortable as a daily...

My trailhunter has a switch for this light left of the steering wheel. It's a three way switch, on - auto - off, like a dome light switch. If yours has the same switch, did you bump it into the "on" setting by chance?

Were they hard to remove? Do you just pull until the sticker stops sticking?
