The first thing I'd say is that all a "normal"* lift does to IFS is change where in the travel the truck sits at static load. With new shocks and UCA, you might get an extra inch of extension (not a long travel suspension, that's an entirely different beast), but the hub is going to be in the...

New wheels and tires! Yokohama Geolandar X-ATs (LT265/70R18) on Black Rhino Warlords.

Yokohama Geolandar AT has been my go to for what you're describing for years on my Tacoma. I don't put extra weight in the back and I've never had any trouble driving through the Colorado mountains to go snowboarding. As far as size, just keep it stock 265/70r18, those are damn near 33s.

We don't just name every Land Cruiser Elsie? That's news to me.

As small and dumb as it seems, the digital rear view is a killer upgrade. After having one in the RAV4 for years, I don't think I'd get another station wagon type vehicle without it. Being able load the cargo area to the ceiling and still have rear view visibility is amazing. Plus the view is...

I changed the oil at 700 miles and it was as I expected it to be, it looked and smelled very similar to the oil that I get out of my Tacoma every 6.5K. I'll change it again at 5K and I'm confident it will be normal used oil.

That'll take care of the engine issue. 🤪

Hey, it holds 6 drinks.

It gets pretty damn cold. I'd guess the cans I pull out of it are right around 40°F, I use it all the time, just keep a 6 pack of sparkling water in it and I'm always refreshed while driving. But it has been in the 90s here on the western slope of Colorado lately, not sure what temps you're...

The 250 hanging with grandpa.

I'm sure Gobi will have their little ladder for the tailgate coming ASAP.

I think you're right, after digging into it. The normal 918s use the motors at the axles to help decelerate (while charging the battery) and the RSR version used a flywheel. Given the absurd temperatures that those brake rotors see on the track, I can't imagine Porsche wants electronics (beyond...

Porsche 918? I'm not actually sure what the technical engineering was, but I recall Porsche using the term "recuperative braking" like it was the hottest shit ever back when the 918 came out.

Mine actually don't seem low to me from the factory, the top of the beam is very similar to where my Tacoma's (without correction after my lift) sit. The high beam throws light for a mile, though, which I like.

I was driving home last night in the dark and noticed the W shadow for the first time (probably wouldn't have if not for this thread), and it occurred to me that, on straight stretches of road, the W perfectly covers oncoming traffic. So I think the purpose of it is to have relatively high low...

I actually didn't watch any videos and, obviously, my description sucked. If you don't mind, can you post a link to the video on this thread so that anyone else looking for the info can find it easily?

Try recalibrating it. Move the seat to it's furthest down and back position, including reclining, and once it stops release and push the button in the same direction to see if it moves further. Then do the same thing for up and forward. If that doesn't make sense, Google "Toyota memory seat...

For sure, but given that my 4runner, Tacoma, and Frontier all had rake and had their rear diffs as the low point, I have to assume that Toyota could have figured out how to keep rake without making the front end the low point. I mean, when I lift it, it'll still have rake, it'll just be less...

I do love this color.

I just measured the ground clearance on the 250 and the front skid sits .75" lower than the rear diff (8.5" vs 9.25"). What gives? Every IFS/live rear axle vehicle I've ever owned before has had higher front ground clearance than rear, which makes sense to me since the front drops when the...
