So to get a new Dexter Axle I pretty much need to get wheel spacers, correct? Any reason not to get a new axle outside of keeping it original? I'm modifying this to fit my needs so originality is not a concern of mine.

I already picked up a set of 4Runner Trail rims locally for $280! That will give me my trailer rims and a couple spare to put back. I really like the idea of having spares I can use on my rig, if it ever came to that. Plus it looks cool. Cannot discount looking cool! So I can get an axle...

I intend on replacing the axle as long as it isn't stupid expensive. Money is an object, but I'm willing to wait and save a little more if it means getting something better.

Over the winter I purchased a trailer which I believe to be a M100. This project will take me awhile but I'm just now wanting to get started. The first mod I want to make is to get it setup to accept Toyota bolt pattern wheels to match my 4Runner. What axle is generally recommended for this...

I don’t feel the H9 are any worse than the factory bulbs in my application far as blinding others. I haven’t had a single person flash me and the beam pattern seems near identical. I appreciate your response and can’t argue your reasoning with my fogs, The more I think about it, I may do the...

I have a 2016 4Runner. Recently I upgraded the headlights to the modified H9 bulb. I cannot imagine a better $25 spent. The headlights went from subpar to useable. Next I'm turning my attention to the driving/fog lights. Right now, I cannot hardly tell if they are on or off. I first...

I did a quick search on Autotrader.com Below are my very unscientific results for under $16K 4Runner SR5 - 2006 -120K miles 100 Series - 2006 - 175K miles Tundra SR5 Double Cab - 2008 - 150K miles Yes, I know better deals can be had on all 3, but this is a typical post I'm seeing in my...

The comment on the 5th gen 4Runner is only if I was to trade my daily driver, in which case the budge would be significantly more than the $15K.

Does it mess up anything to use some aftermarket setup like OME and do away with it? Any impact on the KDSS or Crawl Control?

Trust me, I think about it too much as it is. Just ask my wife. LOL No one can make the decision for me but they can point out factors of vehicles I haven't considered before. I'm really curious about the maintenance cost and upkeep of used Land Cruisers, Lexus LX's, and Lexus GX's...

The one reason I'm still considering the Tundra is because they do seem like you can get better deals used than on Tacoma's. I would not want something as large as the Tundra for a DD, but as a secondary vehicle it is an option I'm still considering. I'm torn on the truck vs SUV, I can see...

I'm looking for some advice and input about a future purchase. Honestly I may be 9-12 months away from pulling the trigger but I want to do as much research and planning as I can in that time. Essentially I'm coming from zero offloading background. I currently drive an Accord but I want to...
