Yeah, I imagine they just had to use whatever standard width spacers were available on the market since fabricating custom ones would be a whole other thing. Would be nice if they'd include the correct amount of washers to fill the gap or at least mention that you'll want to prevent them from...
I don't recall how many I used, probably 2 or 3 as I don't think it needed much. You could probably avoid washers and just add a bit of duct tape or grease to the spacer as well just to prevent it from being able to slide.
Yeah, I babied mine for the first ~10 months or so, always hand wash, microfiber, wax, etc. Still started to find more and more swirls all over it. Drove me crazy for a bit but I'm over it now, especially after collecting some proper pinstripes on the trail. The 4Runner is meant to do 4Runner...
No regrets with the 6th Gen other than how damn soft the clear coat and paint are (obviously getting black wasn't my best decision here, but I still love the look.)
I never owned a 5th gen but have rented most of the trims from Turo and have driven several thousand miles in them, including a...
Also came from a Grand Cherokee, agree the stock ride is rougher. Once I switched the tires (Toyo AT3 285/70/17) it definitely got better. Still not quite on par with the Jeep, but definitely an improvement over small bumps and dips.
I have this installed as well, hasn't come loose in 6+ months. Looks-wise I think it's a slight downgrade from the OEM shifter, but it feels way more premium. The OEM shifter for me had a bit of jiggle to it, and the thumb button felt kind of sticky/clunky which I hated. The Teton knob feels...
I don't have them but like the idea of side panels that don't require a full aftermarket roof rack. It looks like you have to move the rear crossbar up like a full foot to fit them though -- as someone who uses my crossbars a lot that's a no-go for me. Looks goofy and I doubt it's safe to...
Yeah, I remember this -- each panel comes with a full bag of bolts and spacers for both sides. Even if you only buy one panel you get bolts for both, if you buy two you get two full sets. I guess it saves them more on packaging to just have one set/bag whether or not you buy one or two. Don't...
Did you just get one panel? I think if you buy a single window panel it still comes with the mounting hardware for both. There are three attachment points for each panel so you should have the big bolt for the top + a bolt and spacer for each bottom corner (don't recall which gets the longer one).
See my previous post -- apparently it can be done with the "wrong" lug nuts, but Discount Tire very strongly recommended against it. I'm also incredibly glad I didn't end up going with the 0 offsets -- even at +20mm with my Fuel Shoks, I got a decent bit of rub at full lock. I installed the...
Also have an ORP -- the only rattle I get is something around the center console when I hit a very hard bump -- and I suspect this is just something that's in my console rather than the console itself. I even have the full CaliRaised interior molle panels and top shelf and they don't rattle at...
I bought the full length flaps and realized they're quite a bit longer than the OEMs, so I ordered the Mids. Had no issue emailing them to request a return -- Jason responded within a day with a pre-paid return label.
I installed the TRD Pro ARK mids on my ORP to account for the extra tire poke (+20mm) -- the OEM flaps were woefully inadequate with the wider tires. The OEM flaps also have a point that sticks out more in the tire well which caused some rubbing, and they are horribly inflexible if you drag them...
Sorry if it's a dumb question, but if you trimmed off a tab, what's holding the felt liner in position where you pushed it forward? What keeps it from just flexing back to its original position and hanging there? Would love a picture or two if you have the time!
I was watching this build video from Westcott and they mention "pushing the liner forward" and something about trimming the clips to clear rub. I have just a tiny bit of rub in the front at full lock with +20mm offset and 285s, and I'm curious how they accomplished this, but I can't find any...
Yeah, I didn't realize the PRO only came in hybrid, that would be a no-go for me as well. I did see one in Mudbath yesterday though and damn it looks good. Never thought I liked Mudbath all that much from pictures online but it definitely turned my head in person.
Oh dang, I knew about most of the other differences but never realized they had a different corner panel there too. At this point cost-wise I'm definitely approaching "should have just bought a Pro" territory.... do you think the wife would notice? :LOL:
