One probably has a longer service life than the other for countries where people don't buy into the "maintenance every 2 weeks" **************** the dealers like to sell.
Realistically, most filters you can hit with a stick, knock the dust out of and re-use over and over again. Millions of Toyotas...
I use powerstop rotors/z26 pads on my factory calipers, fresh fluid, stainless lines. Stops great. I'm in a built up GX470 which is basically your rig but heavier. A lot of people don't understand how to downshift on grades. Same goes on trails. I barely use the brakes even coming down...
Yeah, a skinny E might be a little more compliant than a fat E.... but a skinny E vs skinny C will be night and day... bricks vs clouds as someone said above.
Even de-flated, the flex you get in an E is abysmal unless you are in a behemoth vehicle (what they're made for).
I ran 285/75/18-E...
Apparently the AT4W pizza cutters come in C load, first I have seen.
Otherwise I've never seen pizza cutters in anything other than E load rating.... which is AWFUL, and not worth the harsh ride/lack of flex.
Go with ARB. The Aussies have been beefing up Toyotas way longer than these American sheet metal companies that just stamp their logo on every angle of the product. ARB also crash tests their ********.
Get a second opinion from an independent Toyota shop.
We thought my dad’s 480k original mile 4runner took a ********. Started knocking one day… turns out it just ate a spark plug and it was juts clacking around in the combustion chamber. Was fine after it broke down enough to be digested.
Still...
I went with;
Alpicool 35 fridge/freezer
Bluetti AC70
Bluetti 120w solar panel
Savy shopping can get you all the above for under $1k. Works great and is a versatile setup.
Bilstein is cheap for a reason. Ive had them on many rigs. Totally fine for a pavement pounder, but pretty low quality for offroading. They fade fast.
OME also makes several shocks. Their cheap ones are a little better/more durable than bilsteins.
For a nice plush off-roading experience...
I just take the 3 seconds to screw mine on… but I’m using the $120 napa compressor that coincidentally is the same model morrflate sells for morrmoney.
Used to use the ARB rapid deflator, but I got a set of Staun’s and never looked back.
If you just use the threads the way they’re intended you...
Been running the napa dual head compressor. Not ‘on board’, but it was $120 and takes a 33” tire from 18 to 45 psi in about a minute. Very fast. ARBs seem very slow and way overpriced by comparison.
