Hey guys! We just got our Sherpa Capital roof rack into the shop today. We'll be doing a detailed install video soon!

Good prices on the OE Bilsteins. I honestly think this is more of an upgrade in shocks than Bilstein 5100's when they release. The pricepoint will be about the same but you will get the added oil volume with reservoirs.

Lake Speed Jr is awesome, I'm really glad he picked up a new Tacoma to build content with. It'll be interesting to get input from a subject matter expert.

When we have time in the shop our plan is to pick up 3.90 gears from a GX460 and see if we can fit them. We are also working on a torsen-style limited slip for the rear. Some international market Prados came with a torsen internationally for the 8.2 rear diff but they're extremely expensive on...

The T24A-FTS 2.4T engine which is also used in international markets does call for different oil viscosities. If you take a look at the UK owners manual for a 2024 Toyota Highlander with the same engine as the US market Tacoma and 4Runner you will see a different viscosity recommendation based...

That's correct for the most part. The track doesn't narrow much at all and the lift is very mild and respects factory geometry, you will not see any increased wear.

Hey guys! We just got some prototype Perryparts bumpstops in the mail today! If you're not familiar, Perryparts manufactures 3d printed bumpstops. They're a unique design that allows for a progressive engagement vs rubber and polyurethane bumpstops, which reduces harshness at engagement...

Here's the install video!

Great thread! I may do the same. What is the added benefit of the foam over top of the butyl mat?

The front coils will handle a lowpro style front bumper. The rears handle an extra 300-400lb.

No, as mentioned the stem of the shock is different. Also, the lower control arms are different.

When you move the collar down you are reducing tension on the spring, not increasing it. Shock significantly change ride quality, the valving inside the shock is what controls / slows the oscillation of the spring.

My SR5 had about 4.25" droop at full extension in front and about 4" as well in rear from resting height when I measured the factory suspension on our two post lift. With a mild lift like these coils provide, you still have about 2.5" downtravel with factory SR5 shocks. While the resting...

We typically build for about +300 to +400lb for overlanding and offroad setups. On the new 4Runners we net about 2" of lift.

On an SUV I generally prefer wedge tents vs clamshell tents. It keeps a lower profile over the roof of the vehicle and wedge tents are a lot faster for setup and teardown. From iKamper that would be their BDV series. iKamper makes great stuff. I also like FSR, we've used their tents quite a...

If you have a set of metric tools and a jack and jack stands, these are pretty diy friendly vehicles to work on. Here's a video we did recently showing a 2" lift kit install -

Interesting. Next time I am at our local Toyota dealership I will see if I can test drive for comparison sake.

I don't. Keep in mind though that I am running our lift springs which are a dual rate for increased load carry capacity. I don't think you'd see any more body roll with stock springs however.

I'd say that's accurate based off Kyle's experience relating to ride quality. If you're offroading, the Fox shocks do have more travel.

I haven't run in a 4Runner with the stock Bilsteins yet, but Kyle in our shop has a 24 Tacoma TRD Sport. He's had an interesting upgrade path already. He had similar complaints regarding the factory shocks. We purchased the OE Bilsteins from a TRD Offroad and installed our coils on them and he...
