What did you do to your 6th Gen 4Runner today?? 👨🏻‍🔧 🧰 🛠

Any sag on the rear with the added weight?

Yup, big time sag with the stock ORP stock spring. Even Westcott said that the stock ORP spring is very soft (I like the term squishy). So we went with a stiffer Eibach 500lb spring and sport shock. I don't rock crawl so I didn't go full out on the rear suspension but enough to support the extra weight. We even loaded it up for our last camping trip and the sag was barely 1/4" more.

With a TRD Pro or Trailhunter I doubt the sag will be significant since they already come with upgraded rear suspension.

I gleefully removed the worthless running boards that arrived with my OR.

I’m sure their prime purpose was to make it difficult to enter and exit the vehicle, followed by ensuring that my pants matched what ever mud I’ve driven through. Luckily, I hadn't driven through any of the local cattle drives that frequent my region.

Yeah I’m working that issue right now. With the spare, rack & Rotapax I expected at least 1” of sag so I put some Dobinsons on. Result was 2.5” of rake…lol. I switched back to the stock OME and found out they had left the precollar puck in which added o.75” to the rake. I’m going to wait until I have everything set up then I’ll look at the springs again. It was looking pretty comical for a bit with the rear sticking up 2.5 inches.

Just picked up my runner from the shop getting an undercoating and full vehicle ceramic done. Both should last 7+ years

undercoating is Dinitrol. Fellas did a good job

How much did that run you?

$2,000 with tax and everything. The undercoating was about 800, the ceramic was around 1200

Mine caps are a mixed bag thanks to Discount Tire not being able to put the four original OEM caps back on for some reason.

Updated my rig with an Sherpa roof rack, Inspired Offroad RTT, SCS Gen5 wheels and Toyo Open Countrys, coming from Slammed cars and large engine mods this is a new subject for me!

First oil change @ 605 miles
Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0W-20, OEM filter

Visual insepction: old oil looked nice and clean, didn't really notice any particulates in the oil or on the bolt. Didn't take apart the filter, not gonna do that.

Next service at 2K, then 5K.
