Okay, I've been playing around as advised. Its a very capable vehicle. Seems like there isn't much excitement where I have taken it, it just goes through or over whatever I send it through. However, I am usually alone and in very weird places, so we added a winch. Watched a lot of videos...

I have 2 Stabilizer I took off my Aliner when I lifted it. They are 17inches and work to stabilize any trailer that is between 12-16 inches above the ground. Asking $20 and probably $20 shipping unless you in my neighborhood. In the Charlotte/Statesville, NC area. They are used, but in very...

I was wondering if I got sensors that match my 2017 4Runner and installed them in my trailer tires, if the 4 runner would read them and monitor the trailer tires. Or do I need to buy a new 8 tire TPMS monitoring system? Anyone have any experience with such a feeble attempt at saving $300...

Well, An Aliner "Offroad" Classic has some pretty good ground cleareance, and you can actually add a lift kit that will give you 4inches more. They tend to shake apart if your too rough with them, but they are really easy to put back together. They are a very lightwieght trailer, but I have...

The car FAX said that it had the front Right Headlight and fender replaced. I looked for any evidence at all of any repairs or replaement or even paaint. Every thing was perfect, not a scratch or evidence bolt being touched, The dealer said it was a trade-in because the buyer had decided it...

Sorry to be new to the Topic, but I have a 2008 Aliner Aframe I already lifted 4 inches by changing the axle to a 3500lb axle, but really want to go up another 6 so I can get 17 inch wheels on it. And Maybe add some re-inforcements to the frame. I have 30,000 miles on it and have dragged it...

Hendricks Toyota in Kannapolis, NC, Outisde of Charlotte. The deal wasn't as good as I thought, as I did Trade in a 2006 Explorer and a 2006 Honda CRV, both with over 200,000 miles. Both looking to cost me another $5K in the up coming year. But they did have it listed for $28K when I first...

I'll do a build thread as soon as I start building something. Which may start in the latter part of the next year. The stock tires are good and money is a little tight with the market doing whats its doing. My first exterior mod will be tires and suspension. but, I also have a 13yr old...

Its Aluminum.. too bad, eliminates using anything magnetic for attachments. But its a pretty cool mount.

Wow.. I didn't mean to cause so much "theoretical " discussion over my ride...LOL. Such passion!!. (BTW...- 2017 SR5-Prem $25k & 9K miles) ... And I watch a lot of "4 wheeling" You tube videos and it seems, though they are overwhelming about jeeps, it seems the jeeps are always breaking down...

Has anyone got a good install for a ham radio in their Gen 5 4runner. Looks like a very cluttered dash. I haven't used my Ham licence in about 5 years. I still have 3 Yaesu VX-5 I used to use with my wife and Kids. Cell phones put a stake through that heart. I just downloaded the Repeater...

Thanks everyone, especially you DaveinDenver: It would have taken me the better part of 3 hours to type that all out. :) I agree it appears to be a most competent 4 wheeler. We have been hitting the trails/back roads weekly. I love the comment on the "Cool Factor" Of the spare on the rear...

Anyone got any opinions on priority of mods ? I mean what is the most important stuff to do? Lift/Suspension so I don't scrape the belly? Rear Bumper to get the tire out from under her, or front bumper to hold a winch? I'm planning on doing all those one at a time. I'm just slightly...

I'm just trying to figure out now what to do to keep it simple, but safe. For I usually go out alone and don't have much crawling interest, just old roads and mountains !:)

2008 Aliner Classic, Weighs 2000lbs fully loaded, 250 on the tongue, it might weight more than that after pulling it through a few swamps or snow banks !
