  1. Rear Ended By Older Lady

    Yes, I always assume when someone doesn't want to file a police report that they don't have insurance.
  2. Rear Ended By Older Lady

    I'm sorry for your accident, it's such a pain and inconvenience until your vehicle is returned fixed. People don't realize the chain of events they just caused due to their negligence. I live in an area where there are a lot of retired folks. We call them half-backs, because they moved from...

  4. Roof carrier frustrations with rear lift gate clearance

    I bought some more adjustable cross bars from Victory 4x4.
  5. Rear Ended By Older Lady

    The problem with the new 4Runners and Tacomas is that the hitch is welded to the frame. A strong enough rear hit can total your vehicle.
  6. Roof carrier frustrations with rear lift gate clearance

    I put a foam knee pad on the spoiler and open it up, and let it rest against my XL Yakima box. While not ideal, it works. Then I throw the knee pad in the back when done.
  7. Does the standard BSM “Blind Spot Monitor” adjust for towed camper?

    Note: Before towing, you might want to invest in some airbags so you don't have terrible rear sag affecting handling. They run around $500 if you install yourself. These are the ones I just purchased...
  8. Hard transmission shift on initial startup under 1k Miles

    I don't understand people buying a new vehicle and the first thing they do is get out on the highway and cruise at 80mph in 90º heat. All vehicles need to be broken in properly. I do the basic first 1000 miles at moderate speed, not over 65mph, and no jack rabbit starts. I also remotely start...
  9. Vehicle height after installing Westcott collar lift kit?

    Take into account that larger tires are also taller. There are a lot of variables.
  10. Hard transmission shift on initial startup under 1k Miles

    Let it warm up for 5-10 minutes. I do that every day, and I have never had a shifting issue. Also, it is good for the turbo to let the oil warm up.
  11. Aftermarket Hood Insulation / Soundproof Mat installed

    I've had mine for a year from Amazon on our 25 Tacoma and our 25 4Runner. No issues at all. You can get them from Lexland.com as well. Here is a discount code, use 828discount .
  12. Westcott Designs lift 2.5" front, 0.75" rear -- anyone install this on factory shocks??

    Thanks, what I like about airbags compared to HD springs is the adjustability. With HD springs, you are usually at a constant rake towards the front, which puts excessive wear on your front brakes and contributes to nose diving. With air bags, you just run about 8 psi in them daily, and more...
  13. Westcott Designs lift 2.5" front, 0.75" rear -- anyone install this on factory shocks??

    Still sits level, but with a heavy weight in the rear, it squats a tiny bit. My remedy for that is Air Bags, which I am installing soon.
  14. Westcott Designs lift 2.5" front, 0.75" rear -- anyone install this on factory shocks??

    Do not go above C-rated load range. E-rated gets too heavy.
  15. What did you do to your 6th Gen 4Runner today?? 👨🏻‍🔧 🧰 🛠

    Blaze off-road Garmin Power Switch bracket and wires. Great way to clean up the wire mess and control your lights wirelessly.
  16. Suspension front lift to level my SR5

    OK, here is a real answer. I had these on my 21 Tundra to level it out. I had the fronts set on the top perch to get the most lift. On the Tundra, it was about 2.5"; the rear shocks add no lift on the leaf spring rear suspension. Now the ride quality was the first thing I noticed on the winding...
  17. 6th gen owners - why did you jump on a year 1 model of the refresh?

    25 Tacoma and 25 4Runner, no issues after 11-12 months. It's not a Chevy.
  18. Stuck in mud at Pine Barrens. Noob

    Sorry for your trouble, tires would have helped. At least it's not in the cab, but I have to say that is why I didn't spend more for an OR and purchased an SR5 4x4. I never used the crawl even in sand on my 2017 Tacoma OR. Air down and 4H will usually do the trick.
