    I'm trying to help a friend decide on tire and wheel sizes, but I'm not familiar enough with the JKs to be of much help. She has a '08 2-door JK with a newly installed AEV 2.5" Dual Sport lift (good choice from what I can tell). The installer strongly recommended she dump the 18" sahara wheels...

    I recently lifted my Tacoma and have one very subtle driveline vibrations. I'm debating whether it's worth trying to correct the vibrations with shims and began wondering: if the vibrations aren't corrected, will I realize any sort of mechanical vulnerabilities as a result? If so, what would...

    Hey guys, I'm posting this question for a friend (who I'm encouraging to join the forum). Is the OME medium kit a good kit for the 5th Gen 4Runners?
