Here is a list of trails I've done in the area:
- Canaan Loop
- Forest Road 18
- Peters Mill
- Flagpole knob (Union Springs)
I'd say the Canaan loop is still my favorite, although union springs was the most technically fun/challenging. I'd love to test the limits and try something a bit...
Very impressive. And I thought going up Union Springs to flagpole (OnX 4/10) with my bone stock 6th gen was a challenge. Glad to know these are quite capable out of the box - I didn't scrape at all.
How much harder is bald mountain than union springs? I'm 100% stock - no skids, lift, sliders...
I've never owned a 5th gen, but it was my original choice. I decided on a new 6th gen because I just couldn't stomach paying $45-50k for used car smell.
My observations from renting/test driving several 5th gens and owning my 6th gen:
5th gen advantages:
- far superior ride quality over...
Setting the gear lever to manual shift mode and upshifting does not do anything in 4LO.
I don't like being stuck at 2.5k rpm in 4lo, too loud and too much engine braking
Anyone else have this issue?

takes like 10-15min per wheel with a homemade slip solution (soap/baby shampoo + water), lining up the stickers was not difficult
it's also possible that your new rear springs are stiffer than stock if you installed https://toyteclifts.com/rcc2-0-p-toytec-superflex-rear-coils-fj-03-4runner-03-gx?find=2025-4runner-1625

If I had to guess I'd say the firmer ride may have been...
could it be possible that the front springs have too much preload? The preload collar looks like its set pretty high up for the 2.75in of front lift. Could try moving it down a bit, i think a little bit of rake is good
This is a strange observation. The factory red bilsteins had terrible ride quality so I swapped the rears for Fox 2.5. Ride quality is alot better now, but the front is still a bit harsh since it's on the factory bilsteins.
I guess Fox 2.0 is the safer choice? Seems counterintuitive that Fox...
how is the highway mileage with the rooftop tent? im considering one but dont want to reduce range too badly, especially with the smaller 19 gallon gas tank
fantastic writeup by the way
Hi, has anyone had any luck disabling PKSB AND its warning message which shows up every time you start the car?
- Just disabling it is not sufficient because it causes an annoying warning message to appear in the center of the screen, which you have to clear
- Leaving it on is not an option as...
I've heard great things about the OME MT64: https://4runner6g.com/threads/ome-mt64-suspension-6th-gen-4runner-first-impressions.1130/
Maybe you could give those fronts a try and report back, I'm starting to think we should have splurged for the mt64 all around
The rear coil springs on the...
Interesting results. Wondering why it has 15 less hp than the tacoma. Is this a gas or hybrid model? Hard to believe it can do 350 wheel torque when it's rated for 317 or something.
Have you also dyno'd a 5th gen 4runner/3rd gen tacoma? What do those numbers look like?
