  1. Re-gearing

    If you are running real heavy (E load rated) tires 35" plus, a regear would help with performance but hurt top speed. 3rd gen Tacomas all needed a regear just to run 33"s. LOL
  2. Re-gearing

    This is so true.
  3. Rear Ended By Older Lady

    They just steer to the right or left and cause quarter-panel damage. Happened on another vehicle of mine, and they even admitted they didn't want to hit the hitch, so they steered into the corner, which caused more damage.
  4. 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.
  5. 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...

  7. Roof carrier frustrations with rear lift gate clearance

    I bought some more adjustable cross bars from Victory 4x4.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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...
  11. 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...
  12. Vehicle height after installing Westcott collar lift kit?

    Take into account that larger tires are also taller. There are a lot of variables.
  13. 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.
  14. 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 .
  15. 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...
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
