    Discount Tire Direct Memorial Day Sale

    DTD has started their Memorial Day sale - only runs a few days. $110 off a set of 4 Toyos and free shipping. Just ordered a set of Open Country AT IIIs for my daughter's Xterra. Haven't seen the new tread in person, but looks like they'll be good all rounders from the pics and reviews I've...

    Falken Wildpeak AT/3W - anyone running them? Opinions?

    Put a set of AT3Ws on my 4Runner recently in LT285/70/17 E. Replaced a set of 275 KO2s that were also E rated. Loved the KO2s, but just tough to justify the price difference. I've owned a lot of ATs and a few MTs over the years and am impressed with how quiet the Falkens are for how...

    Preferred DIY paint for sliders/skids?

    On my Xterra I used Rustoleum Professional spray on bedliner on the sliders and skids. Held up pretty well and blends in well when touching up. On the 4RUnner I used Duplicolor bedliner and am really disappointed with it. It is more of a rubberized finish, but scrapes off more easily. The...

    My 06 Tacoma TRD Build

    Would love to hear your impressions of the AT3W. Looks like a decent aggressive AT but that's just based on looks.

    Goodyear Duratrac AT?

    Had pretty good results with my Duratracs. Got around 45,000 miles out of them on an Xterra and still had a bit of tread left when I sold them. Surprisingly quiet, good highway manners and good off road. Got louder as they aged, but still tolerable. Picked up several nails that could all be...

    2014 Overland Taco Build

    Great truck! I look forward to checking it out in person if we have another meet up or trail session. Saw that you had the OME lift for a while before you added the UCAs. Did you have alignment problems before the UCAs? Have lift springs in hand, but I use the 4Runner for highway travel...

    2004 Lexus GX470 – Expedition built – North Carolina (Triad Area)

    Such a nice build. Are you moving to another 4x4 and starting another build? Good luck with the sale. I'll let a friend know about it - he's been looking for an LC but this would suit him well!

    5th Gen 4Runners Coming To Expedition Overland??

    Popped into the website to see when the next videos were going to be released and saw a couple of great looking 4Runners on the home page. See a few references to new builds but no details on there yet. Trucks look really good - looking forward to seeing some detailed build info on these. If...

    Krytos' TrailRunner build thread - 2014 4Runner Trail Edition

    Nothing like taking a new truck offroad while it still has the temporary tags on! I took a condensed class from Mike at UORTC and learned a ton! Great group.

    Toyo M/T again worn down after 25'000miles! Need better tires! Bighorn, Dynapro, KM2

    Ran a set of Toyo MTs in 255/85. Great performance but tread life wasn't great. Currently running a set of Cooper AT3s and really impressed. Still has good traction in most conditions offroad with excellent road manners, road noise, and treadwear. If you really need an MT, take a close look...

    The Restoration And Build Thread For My 1992 FJ80

    Really nice truck and some well thought out mods.

    Overland Suspension

    Keep in mind that adding a lift without changing suspension members (altering suspension geometry) or limiting travel won't change tire clearance. Adding taller coils simply moves the truck up in the travel. The bump stops still set the overall travel limit so if a tire rubs at full...

    NCTrail4r 2015 Trail Edition 4Runner

    Good point - the bedliner does hold dirt. The tread plate may provide enough traction and could always spray bedliner over the top of the smooth finish, if needed.

    NCTrail4r 2015 Trail Edition 4Runner

    Have some cash left over from selling the xterra so i ordered some parts!, - Have a set of 884 OME front coils with Toytec superflex rears on the way. Since the stock shocks are new, I plan to run them with the new coils to see how it rides. Changing the rear shocks will be easy enough, if...

    NCTrail4r 2015 Trail Edition 4Runner

    Just picked up a 2015 Trail 4Runner. Have been looking and researching for a while and finally took the plunge! My previous truck is a 2011 Xterra Pro-4x, which has been a great truck, but it's going on the market. Really hate to sell it, as it's just been solid and reliable, but I need a...

    4xFish 5th Gen 4Runner build

    Nice looking 4Runner! Just picked up a TE 4Runner and want to mount a full length Gobi. Can you tell me how the forward most roof mount works? Is the truck predrilled for the front mounts? See that the rear four mounts look like they would line up with the factory rail mount locations. Thanks

    Quick bilstein 5100 question

    Rickashay is right - any tire that fits stock will fit with a lift, and any tire that rubs stock will rub with a lift. The only way to change that is to alter the geometry of the suspension - springs and spacers only set the truck higher in the travel. I'm running 5100s on my Xterra and...

    HELP ME DECIDE!!! Newbie needs advice

    I've owned a Trooper and an R50 Pathfinder. Both were great, reliable trucks, but lack aftermarket support. Between the 2 I'd go for the Trooper because of the size and the fact that they are easy to get a mild lift and fit 265/75s easily. I had a 96 Trooper and had no transmission trouble...
