Shoulda bought a GX... or waited for the TRD Pro 4Runner. Maybe someone will develop a hack to pipe in the fake engine grunts.

I think the sway bar plate is protected by the front skid plate IIRC, not the transmission plate. I'd go ahead and install the front, it's easy to pop off to complete the rear plate later.

I think it's in a pretty good spot, from TFL's Moab video it appears it just barely contacts when dragging the ass-end. So if you're dragging the tailpipe, you're likely dragging other stuff along with it.

So much better than the 5th Gen 4Runner, I'd never complain... nor notice it.

Ouch.

Ain't me, it's this forum!

Mine came in today, two days after the initial estimate, when it initially showed in 'backlog' status.

I actually saw that exact vehicle (I have to presume) sitting outside Slee Offroad yesterday. It was clearly a tan color, so it must be a wrap.

Post a single pic of your LandCruiser in the dirt at the highest elevation it's been, the location/date, and list the elevation. Feel free to share any interesting trip notes, and post up again when you eclipse your prior record. I guess I'll start... Santa Fe Peak, Summit County, Colorado on...

No, there certainly won't be. I was responding to the "Toyo Open Country A/T III, 285/75R17 33.9 x 11.3"

My assumption as well, after talking to my local offroad shop. Never used the spare in the 4Runner in 9 years, though I guess I shouldn't type that out loud.

I asked Discount to keep the 285 mostly aired down when we tried it, but I didn't visually confirm whether or not they complied. Not sure how much an unloaded tire changes diameter with pressure, I just assumed it might help.

Nope, 4High for the climb, 4Low for the descent. Didn't engage 4Low on the way up at all. I just edited that first 4High statement to make it more clear. Thanks!

That review was a nothing sandwich, considering how much time they had to reflect. Seems like they were mostly pissed at not being able to gun it during Toyota's event.

That's a great take that I ignored in lieu of going into details beyond the advantages of not wasting brake pad. Thanks for posting!

I did not. Instead of perseverating over a gauge that may or may not accurately reflect relatively small incremental changes, I instead drove it and hoped not to see the transmission temp error message. Fortunately, I did not.

Good to hear. I'm trying to wait until 1000 before we pull, have a 3000# teardrop that I'm assuming will be fine.

Took one decent hit on my first trip offroad, there is a pic of the skid plate afterwards in the trip report thread. The front skid ended up flexing upward and contacting some metal on the frame above it, but no real damage, I'm happy with how it performed.

I you put that large a tire on with a 40mm offset, it will likely rub the lower edges of the wheel wells when turning... a bit. If you put that same tire on a lesser-offset wheel, you are almost sure to contact the inner top of the fender at compression, since the tire cannot fit up inside it...

That's great to hear, I hope mine follows your experience. Yesterday was the very first drive where I averaged over 20, but that was descending I-70 from Summit County to the flatlands. Been around 15-16 so far, but still have just under 500 miles on the odometer, almost no freeway driving.

I think comes down mostly to driver preference, especially what someone is used to. I rarely used the Crawl Control on the 4Runner due to the jerkiness and the noise, and thus am used to manually controlling the vehicle. For people who have always had these electronic systems and used them, they...

Although I can't say I 'tried that', I certainly was light on the brakes while descending for much of the time. If it was using regenerative braking, I certainly couldn't tell, and ironically I had less SOC in the hybrid battery at the bottom than I had at the top. I have to assume the ECT (or...

Zero lift, zero suspension mods, just 285/70r18s, the largest that will fit without having to turn a wrench.

It might not 'feel' like a film, but it is, as most have noted above. It is not any sort of metal doubler, as you have assumed. It is an option from Toyota.

I believe that front fairing is simply a piece of plastic, not structural; maybe someone with rack in hand can comment. I'm still waiting for mine (backordered). [EDIT: that should be you; is there any significant metal underneath the plastic faring?]

Good to hear. Sweet trailer!

Here's one from Friday, descending Santa Fe Peak, Summit County, CO. Some of the switchbacks were pretty sporty, this one in particular.

Didn't get too much snow here, just hiked up to 11,500' and there was just a bit in the shadows. I'm guessing a few days from now it'll be mostly gone, as it's supposed to warm back up for a bit. That said, the high-elevation wheeling season is indeed about done! chris_in_phx, didn't need DAC...
