It's all about the weight. Going from the stock tires, Toyo to the BF Goodrich will add 15 lb of weight per corner, this would be the result you could expect. Acceleration & Braking: You will likely feel a more noticeable "sluggishness" when pulling away from stoplights and your braking...

Big bend is awesome. Haven't taken the 4Runner there yet, but spent plenty of time out there in my old unreliable Jeep.

I did see that, just not willing to go to e-load. Have been going through the tire rack reviews and The at4s were a bit iffy on stopping distance in ice and snow which is an issue. The 4Runner will remain completely stock with the exception of the tires so I don't have any heavy weight to...

I agree those at3s are great on road especially. My only concern was the OEM lesser tread tires that came on it were not all that great in Colorado a few months ago going uphill off-roading with very light snow on the road, they slipped a lot. I'm thinking the full treaded retail version of that...

Your setup looks great, I have the underground color and going with similar color methods eventually. I have to balance out that 98% of my driving will be on highway with our 80 and 85 mph speed limits. But rock crawling three times a year in Colorado is definitely a concern for those sidewalls...

What has changing to a lot heavier tire done to the gas mileage, speedometer calibration? Still running the stock tires (after one year) and I'm only getting 17 MPG as it is. Also are you having any any of the notorious BF Goodrich balancing issues. Considering the pirelli scorpion tires.

Wel Well it is pretty ridiculous to think you can make a base model into a Top model by bolting things on. Reminds me of that redneck down the street, has 6 cylinder Camaro and took the badge off and put a V8 badge on it. LOL.

I could do without the intake but when driving down the highway at speed you don't hear it, plus plus the Trailhunter trim has insulated windows and active noise cancellation. I don't particularly like the colors either, but I didn't want the TRD Pro because of the fake Hood scoop and lack of...

I agree with the being better than the 5th gen, especially the transmission. Monarch pass in Colorado 6% grade and holds the speed limit. Plus in Texas where I live, 85 mph speed limit pulling that same trailer it doesn't even breathe hard. I do a lot of rock crawling and severe off-road, the...

That extra power is so worth it. I can now keep the speed limit on an 8% grade pulling a 5,000 lb trailer in the mountains of Colorado. The torque you get with the hybrid is 465 foot lb. Also, Toyota's hybrid models are more reliable than their gas only engines, that's why every single one of...

People that say that are just jealous because they can't afford it. Sure you can put low quality junk and throw parts at it. Good luck with that.

Yeah but changing out the differentials, adding a sway bar disconnect, Plus you can't gain the difference in horsepower and torque. I've built up 4Runners and Jeeps before, this one out of the box is perfect, don't need to really do anything but drive. And I can keep the factory warranty of...

I went to rack attack originally and they were going to order ARB mounting kits for the max tracks that I bought from them but I ended up buying an ARB mounting hardware kit from Amazon. I don't carry gas cans or anything like that with me so I didn't look into those type of mounts, and I'm not...

I live in Austin Texas, and there are quite a few off-road shops here that carry the accessories and mounting hardware for bolting just about anything to the ARB roof rack that came stock on my Trailhunter. It's a really good mounting system and the ARB, an Australian company makes really high...

So a pretend want to be Trail Hunter, got it.

Not spreading false information, of course tuning a vehicle could increase the horsepower that you can barely feel. But what's the point of that? Modifying engines and tuning and adding equipment to a vehicle just shortens its service life, and all of my Toyotas have lasted 20 years or more. I...

The tuning yes, but octane does not make a difference. 15 to 20 horsepower is barely perceived. 1. Octane Measures Stability, Not Energy Most people assume high octane fuel has more "energy" or "explosive power" than regular fuel. It doesn’t. In fact, regular and premium fuel contain roughly...

Octane makes almost no difference, I've done similar tests. That's always been a myth that you get better performance with higher octane. That only makes a difference if you have a high performance engine that requires it.

I have the Trailhunter, so cutting out the wastegate sound required a stereo upgrade. I use sport mode just for going downhills and added steering response in the mountains. Definitely don't need the extra throttle response sport mode gives me.

Never noticed that fake engine noise until someone told me to turn the stereo down LOL.
