Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By BoiseG: What is the kdss correction kit? What is it correcting? Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By BoiseG: What is the kdss correction kit? What is it correcting? When you go so high in the rear it corrects the angle on the suspension geometry. I’m 3-3.2” in the rear and it’s a godsend.  When you lift a solid axle that has a track bar (aka panhard bar )depending on the lift height, the angle of that trac bar becomes so steep, that any natural cycling of the axle will cause a feeling of being unstable. The reason for this is the trac bar being so angled, it forces the axle to swing left and right under the vehicle vs the axle cycling up and down. To remedy this issue, you want to raise ( or lower frame side ) the pivot point on the axle so that the trac bar is parallel or as close to parallel to the ground / axle. With the track bar in this configuration , the natural cycling of up and down is returned |

I don’t rock crawl either but my playground is in the Owyhee desert in Idaho/Oregon and there are areas where I go where I bent the hell out of the nerf bar on my 2001 Tundra once and have some pretty nasty cuts in my KO2 tires. It’s mostly basalt rock that does the damage. Rolling over rocks on tight turns on very narrow “roads” are the challenges I face in the Owyhees. The worst roads I face in the mountains to the north are just muddy roads. |

I hope this is the right place for this.
I just bought a 2021 SR5 4X4. Drove it all the way home, picked up my wife to take her for a ride. I was very excited. We didn't get halfway down our street and a loud clickin/grinding noise started coming from the front. My wife said is sounded like when her Corolla has the Traction Control comes on. I couldn't accelerate. It did it several times. I then turned the Traction Control off and it wouldn't do it again. Turned the TC back on and it wouldn't happen again. Is it the TC failing? Would it be OK to drive with it off until I get back to the dealer after work tomorrow? They have a 90 warranty so I'm not worried about them fixing it. 58,000 miles on the vehicle. I test drove it before purchasing on the interstate and surface streets and it didn't happen. New Mexico has 15 day return repair for used cars. |

It’s a sunroom model, so I guess the long full length roof model are out. Thanks! I can answer about the sunroof. One of the first things I did when shopping for a roof rack was to email the companies that I was most interested in and asked if my sunroof would function with their full length racks and the answer from all of them (4), was definitely yes. You should email to be sure, but I think you can easily find a full length rack of you choice if that's what you want. I originally opted for a rack from RCI, but learned before they shipped that it would not work with a type of accessory I'm most interested in. I then gave a lot of consideration between the Gobi, Prinsu, Sherpa and Yakima. All 4 of these stated that their full length racks will allow full operation of the sunroof. As you can probably guess, there are a lot of YouTube videos detailing whatever rack you're interested in, including how they're mounted and what accessories work with them, as well as their limitations. |

If they call and tell me they couldn't find anything, what should I ask then? What should they have checked and looked for? If it was a bad/broken sensor, you'd have permanent ABS warning lights on the dash. If its just one intermittently going out, then when its working fine there will be no codes to throw and nothing to really test. Personally I've never had one slowly go bad, its either working or its an obvious cut wire or broken sensor. The two times I've had this happen personally have been cut/broken wires, and once cut the ABS/Traction system won't work until the wire is replaced/repaired. Occom's razor says that if it doesn't repeat again, you legitimately were probably losing traction for some reason, and the system cut throttle to fix the spinning wheel as designed. |

I am not 100% sure about anything after the last few years :) , but I am fairly certain that the road was clean and dry. It happened several times in 100 feet or so. There isn't any oil or sand/dirt on the street in that area. It hasn't rained here in Albuquerque for weeks, and nobody has grass in their front yards to water. When I stopped to turn around and go home it did it on a three point turn too. Once I turned off the TC it didn't do it again. After the TC automatically turned back on (it will turn on at a certain MPH or after the engine is cut off) after we left the house the second time, I got it up to about 60 mph and nothing happened again. It sounded like it was coming from the front of the 4Runner, not the back. But I am not sure about where it was coming from. I might have mentioned that they are taking it to a mechanic that worked for Lexus and Toyota before he opened his own shop. I have owned this truck for a week now but haven't had it for more than 24 hours, it's getting pretty frustrating. |

If they dont see anything with the wires and sensors, Id just drive it and see if it does it again. If it does, just pay really close attention and try to see if there was anything that may be triggering it. Heavy throttle can break the rear tires quick if theres anything on the road. |

I should of known there would be a whole 4runner thread here
I picked up a 23, trd orp in Ice cap 3 weeks ago. Only 23k miles on it. So barely broken in. Question though, how do I tell if it has KDSS or not? It rides so much better than my 18 Tacoma did that I'm willing to belive it has it. But from what YouTube videos I've watched I can't really tell. I did the Vin look up but it didn't say either way. |

70% ceramic on windshield, 35% ceramic on front two windows.
Little contrast from front to rear sides, windshield is just noticeable. Perfect how we wanted it. Wife loves it. And I did the running boards from the Black Friday deals Toyota parts had.  Attached FileAnyone got the right Toyota part# for black lug nuts for those rims? Looking for matching wheel locks too. If not I’d maybe paint them. lol |

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP! @jafrush I picked up my toyota yesterday, and now today found a receipt in the glovebox from the Toyota dealer for when the previous owner took the 4runner in for the Traction Control randomly turning on. When I get home I need to make copies of the receipt and head back to the car lot. It now has a proof of a long history... I will post a Pic of the receipt when I get out to the 4runner. I bought this truck over a week ago, but haven't driven it for more than 2 days. Buying new sucks, but buy once cry once. I doubt I could get a full refund. |
