For my two cents I would first make the decision if you want hybrid or petrol.
Hybrid is heavy and has minimal give back in the mpg. But has a lot more torque for Pulling.
Petro is petro and less torque.
For most people a TRD OR is sufficient. For my money I wanted ventilated seats and a 14...
I admit I am one to just walk away without locking my cars as well. I think it's just a positive mindset of not feeling like anyone is going to rip me off! But that's just me. The only thing I ever used to leave in my car was my dog with a foamy mouth! And the windows were cracked. Never had a...
I've got no patience for this kind of fiddly stuff. I would just drive it in and say I want a service manager to show me how to work these features.
And no I'm not going to leave the car for a day while somebody fiddles with it. Show me now! Just my two cents here.
Saw this color the other day on a pro which I have never seen before on the roads where I live. Hopefully 4Runners will start to enhance their color palette without having to buy a pro! Too late for me because I already have a silver one. Not going out to buy a new car because of a color choice!
Well my story is 3rd gen; sold it and regretted it, 5th gen sold it and regretted it, retired; got a new 2024 Mercedes! biggest piece of crap besides an BMW M5 I had from 2000, another big piece of turd.
So back in my beloved 4Runner. And of course this is a new platform so we'll see.
Like I...
September will be one year for the Bentley!
6200 MI on the clock. Average mpg ranges from 17.5 to 23 Highway.
Noticed that some fuel stations seem to have more ethanol in the fuel which lowers MPG exponentially.
Factory Michelin Tires, mostly ground pounding occasional cow Trail. No issues...
I have Pro wheels on my orp.
Yes the factory fender flares aren't going to give you the pro look, but to me they are fine and I personally think that most of your gravel dirt is going to come up when your wheels are turned so a proper splash guard mud flap or running board helps.
I have looked...
That's pretty nice to see a 265 that means the tire is a little narrower. Hard to find that size in any of the other manufacturers. So you're right at the factory 33 inch diameter. How are the MT's? pretty solid I'll bet? Thanks in advance.
Yes that makes total sense I have not been tracking this kind of a lift. I only went to 2 in, and that was a coil lift from all dogs off road and I utilized my red Bilstein shocks. I'm pretty happy with the results it's a very Stout solid ride. Good for my needs. And I'm still running my factory...
Well had no idea you got axles and Knuckles as part of the kit. That's quite extensive I wonder why they are giving us axles and knuckles.? Is that telling us that what we have is inadequate?
Well I realize not everybody has the skills or the tools to do a lift on a 4runner.
Watch some of the all dogs off-road videos on this process and you will see how easy it is.
And it can be summarized in a few easy steps.
R&R the UCA ( if going over 2 in).
R&R the coilover. Take it in for a...
I only used the all dogs coils in the front. I wanted a level stance but being a 2 inch lift in the front would give my rear Tijuana tilt sag, so I put in a three quarter inch Apache polyurethane spacer in the back. I'll Factory Bilstein shocks. I've gone through a lot of various coil and spring...
All dogs coils equals 2-in lift retaining UCA. Retained Factory Bilstein shocks. Solid and handling is improved, no bounciness. Very solid and retains the articulation of the factory bilstein's.
When the factory shocks wear I will swap out to a full Bilstein kit.
I have an orp which utilizes 18 in wheels and factory tires which are close to 33 inch diameter.
I did not like the stink bug look from the factory. Also seemed very vulnerable for underbody impact in the front.
The bilsteins that came have a lot of controversy from people on this forum but I...
As mentioned before the fix is pretty simple.
Leave your windows cracked and run fan with recirculation off. Especially if you park in a garage, practice that and within a day or two that smell will disappear.
It's now a habit for me parking in the garage, I always have the windows cracked...
