    How to Upgrade your 1st Gen. Toyota 4Runner Brakes

    You'll need a Tacoma kit from Diamond Axle/Front Range Off-Road... and you'll likely need IFS hubs....

    Neither rig really sees interstate... Tacoma got 16 before, gets 16 now. 4Runner gets about the same. My SAS'd truck gets about the same. My JK gets about that... and my F350 gets that. I can't seem to get away from 16. lol

    2800 RPM is barely 200 RPM higher than a stock 3.4/5-speed/4.10 combo w/ 31" tires. Add the additional weight, trailer, etc.... let the engine breathe a bit, especially in the mountains. https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/gear-ratios.198264/

    I'll disagree with this. With 285's, I'd do 5.29's in a heartbeat. Both my 02 4Runner and 04 Tacoma have 4.88's with 285's, and their final drive ratio is still numerically lower than their stock, 5-speed counterparts. Add lift, extra weight, trailer and elevation to the mix and 4.56's would be...

    F150 vs Tundra....I’ll make a decision tomorrow

    Why do people like you get so emotionally wrapped up in a brand? Chill out. Relax. You'll live longer.

    Winter All weather Tires. 3Peak Logo.

    it's a weird smell. My neighbor noticed it right away after having his installed. I've noticed it on my 295's on the F365 and the 285's on my wife's 4Runner. Goes away, so likely release agent like you mentioned... or maybe just high silicon content? Either way, been happy with them!

    F150 vs Tundra....I’ll make a decision tomorrow

    a LOT of assumptions and projection in this post. And a bit to rose colored on the glasses with regard to Toyota's willingness to correct the frame issues. They really had no choice - it was a liability. Every brand has issues. period. Few brands have the same issues that Toyota has had in the...

    Winter All weather Tires. 3Peak Logo.

    Had this problem with Coopers as well. It was an odd sound from the tires. Meaning, wasn't a howl, but wasn't a roar. Was just odd. Only complaints with the Falkens thus far has been the silicone-like-smell when new. Otherwise, they can't be beat for the price, IMHO. My neighbor just switched...

    Same. Had two sets of Coopers, now two sets of Falkens. Much happier with the Falkens.

    Rear shock invert kit hilux

    Elaborate on what you mean by "shock invert kit." Are you talking about u-bolt flips kits or something else?

    Budget overland vehicle advice

    I had a 96 T100 for a while. I honestly liked it. But it's definitely under-powered and not well supported in the aftermarket. Always wanted to build a SAS'd T100 w/ a V8 and stretched wheelbase for a tow-vehicle. Sometimes I question my sanity.

    Thinking of going from Tacoma to 4Runner

    Agree. Hard to compare the 4Runner to Tacoma build quality. It's definitely superior.

    Selling My Tundra/Hawk Combo to go diesel... Am I crazy??

    From 2015 CrewMax to 2016 F350 CCWB PowerStroke… You won't recover enough via mileage differences to make it worth the investment. I averaged 10 towing my Tacoma with the Tundra. I get about 12 with Ford. Unlaiden, I got about 14 with the CrewMax and about 15 with the ford. I will say that...

    Possible Sequoia in my future

    Had no idea. My 07 Sequoia was great the one time I towed with it. Sold it only because I needed a truck. Really liked the auto-leveling suspension

    Possible Sequoia in my future
