I think the basic answer is; use SL tires unless you intentionally want the extra weight, stiffness, and payload of LT (E-load) for heavy off-road, towing, or overlanding. Because the side walls will be a lot stiffer. For normal street / light trail use, SL is the “correct” choice.

Here is a shot of the other end of the spectrum from your TRD PRO, the SR5 :)

I just threw these on my SR5 today. I was stoked with the Black Friday deal. They bolt up super tight to the body. I was worried they were going to sit off a bit. +1 to the grip... they are VERY grippy. I'm a bit worried someone is going to get their shin with them.

This morning I threw on the Land Cruiser "TOYOTA" Skid plate. It is basically the same part as the Trailhunter skid. The part does bold right on, but it uses different holes than the OE cardboard fiberboard splash guard. I would recommend screwing in the front two bolts first with the back of...

I have chosen not to look. So, I do not have this issue.

I also explored both of these trims, and the GX550. I went with the SR5. I also preferred the ride (I am on the 65 Nitto's). The ride on the SR5 a tad busy, but not harsh. The GX "lumbers" quite a bit and my wife hated it. I thought it was OK, it just made it feel "heavy".Outside the ride...

Just to add another choice for you… there is also the Land Cruiser skid plate. It’s basically the same as the Trail hunter skid, but says “TOYOTA” vs “TRAILHUNTER”. These are longer than the TRD option. The LC version is also a lot cheaper than the TH version, even through they are essentially...

The FWIW, the dealer here got it in 2 days.

i think ARB is the way to go. I was nervous to install it… but it’s the OE option and unlikely you will find anything that is quieter or fits better. I’ve spent the day trying to sort the vibration/noise on my setup… I about done trying. At least it comes off easily.

Yeah, it’s a tad tall. With the raised factory rails I think the Rago Fabrication option is by far the slimmest. Re:Color Funny enough I had to hunt for silver. I wanted the lowest maintenance color possible. Finding one with a 3rd row and 4x4 in silver was a bear.

It’s the DEK™ - Crossbar Mounted Rooftop Platform Rack in the 47x 60 size. I got it fromREI for $750. This version comes with all the hardware to mount/clamp to any crossbars. I have it setup to use the OEM crossbars, which are pretty tall. SKU: DEK-UN-NL-4760 RE: NOISE/VIBRATION I think this...

Just did a bolt on 3/4 today. Easy enough to remove (8 bolts). It’s a bit tall being mounted to the cross bars. But very well made. It’s a “Kuat Dek” they make a direct amount system as well with integrated lighting that is pretty darn cool.

I assembled and installed a Kuat Dek on the SR5 today. The idea was to have this as a removable three-quarter rack/deck versus a fully installed system. It is super well made. My only complaints so far are around the height, which I would like to see more flush. Otherwise the finish has an OE...

I tried Nucar. My order went through, but was cancelled a couple days later. Here’s what the email from them said.
