Two things to take away from this; 1: it looks repairable. I would consult a detailer, but it doesnt look that bad. 2: don't wash it with a brush. Use a microfiber wash mit ONLY, otherwise you're bound to see this happen again.

Bumping this because it provides 100% of the information needed to complete the work. We actually started talking about this at TEQSPORT this morning, so maybe this will become an official project for us. If someone wants to get ahead of me and try this, here is exactly what I plan on trying...

That's wild. In the US market, we do NOT get the fuse box circuitry at all. It's wired to the dash, but both underhood fuse boxes are empty and none of the power wiring from there on it in place. We do get the dashbutton wires (which helps) but that's it.

Boy I sure missed the fun on this thread. Essentially, yes, Camtuning is 100% correct regarding all comments about fuel octane. Also about the lean conditions during peak torque. It's weird how Toyota is targeting such a high AFR in these areas. I can't even predict why they would do this. The...

Right at 11,000. It's tuned with an intake, intercooler, and a few other bits right now. I've pretty much given up any concern over the hard shift.

Nice to see this thread is back. I had/have this same issue. Asked the dealer to address it, and they told me they couldn't replicate it. Hasn't really been a problem past being a very minor annoyance, but something tells me this is fairly normal.

Doug's a very resonable guy, so I'd say that this is a hell of a crown for the 4Runner to wear.

Yeah Trail Hunter Tacoma and 4Runner get a version of the MT64. I'm guessing it's a bit shorter than their aftermarket set, maybe slightly different valving. I feel confident that the MT64 would be a great shock for most situations. It's a progressive tuned shock so it should be pretty...

Possibly. It's unlikely the dealers even have much information yet. Allocations to dealers are probably based on sales of 25 year models, so unless they're a volume dealer for 4R, they probably aren't going to get advance information or allocations. Truth be told, I doubt anything has changed...

Toyota is still holding 25's. They aren't going to start advertising the next model year until that inventory situation improves. Same with any manufacturer.

They're MT64's; essentially a large piston monotube shock designed for handling higher loads in off-road applications. They're great, so if you're loaded down and sagging, the MT64s would be a good option.

If you want it to match OE quality, including door jambs it would cost you in excess of 5-7,000. Big variance because area matters. Not worth it man, just keep your eyes peeled for a mudbath. It'll show up.

This is neat, but as expected....not for the US market. Yawn.

Man, I really need to have Chat GPT summarize this thread. It's all over the place. Here's the truth, guys. I'll try to keep it simple; Higher octane fuels are necessary to prevent detonation (pre-ignition/spark knock) on engines that need it. Forced induction engines and high compression...

Man, this is a great build. I've been going back and forth on mine trying to decide what to do. A big part of me wants Kings, the other part of me wants to wait for Bilstein 8100's.

Late response, but no...not yet.I have a newborn this year, so my time has been pretty focused. I really just need to buy some lights so I'm forced to finish this. It's so easy from this point on.

Great work with this guys!

I don't understand why you would cut so much off of your truck just to be able to fit and steer 35's at stock height. It doesn't even make sense off-road. It'll hit all over the place under compression.

You really have to consider your use case when deciding what you want, as the two will have VERY distinctly different driving characteristics. Based on what you described, the Platinum is 100% the best choice for you and remember...if you like things about the TRD Pro's appearance, those parts...

Very cool guys. The real highlight of their racing careers was with Nissan in the '90s with the Clayton Cunningham prepared IMSA 300ZX. They were the fastest cars in IMSA class, dominating every year until they were essentially outlawed. Steve placed first in class at LeMans and 5th overall...
