Part of my concerns are practical, part of them technical. On a practical note, I bought the truck as a sort of “go anywhere” vehicle. Right now, I’m somewhat confident that it could tackle most anything aside from serious rock crawling. But I would like to do stuff like Black Bear pass in Ouray. I’m not sure how a setup like this affects that. Basically, I’m not sure if it’s all show and almost worthless otherwise at that point with the spacers and the lift, etc. I know that white truck has a 4inch lift on Kings and is running 35s (315/70/17s) with 1.5” spacers. On a more technical note, I’d like to know how it affects systems like crawl control, atrac, and the locking rear diff. On one level, I have concerns about whether the systems will continue to function as they’re supposed to and in another whether they’ll hold up from the additional stress. There’s more rotational mass, a different geometry with the lift, etc. How much additional stress would be put on the other components in the system in order to look cool, which might effect long-term reliability and result in premature parts wear? |

Debating on the Eibach Stage 1 Pro lift for my 2017 TRDOR, but I'm unsure what the threshold is for KDSS becoming an expensive liability after a lift. Specs are 2.75" front, 1" rear lift. I'm assuming that UCA's will also be necessary with that much front lift.

The rule of thumb I'm going with based on endless threads on the 4runner forums is that 3"+ needs em, 2.5"-3" might or might not. YMMV seems these are all unique and different trucks behave differently with lift variations. ' |

I had a 12 Limited and traded it for a 13 GX. Liked the 4Runner ok but I love the GX. No mods other than a Yakima rack, but when the Michelins wear out I’ll throw on some all terrains.

View Quote The 4Runner is as aero as a house in a wind tunnel. You can get good mileage but you have to drive carefully. The acceleration is due to the drive by wire throttle and the programming Toyota did, which can be bypassed by a couple gadgets out there such as the pedal commander. Personally, I'll be getting the Hyper-Tech React Off Road model as it has settings for crawl and mud/sand. Supposedly it helps limit the throttle blipping one can do in such situations and makes it smoother -- its hard to keep your foot steady when bouncing off shit. With a set of sliders and good tires, you can tackle Black Bear or any of the high pass roads in Colorado pretty easily. Skid plates would help but I wouldn't say they're 100% necessary in those areas. With a lift you will have to be a bit more cautious as you moved your COG up so tipping, even if just a feeling, is more prominent. This is why you want to keep heavy stuff off the roof. I can't answer for MTS (crawl control) but the A-TRAC in my truck doesn't seem to be phased by the bigger and heavier tires. But I also use it in short spots where necessary as it does heat the brakes up making fade a factor. I'm not a fan of slotted or drilled rotors but I think they might help in this situation to help dissipate the heat. I haven't done it yet but it has crossed my mind. The locker shouldn't be effected at all by larger tires. I have a wheeling friend who has deep gears, locked on both ends, and runs 37s. He's had to replace a few parts but all the stock gizmos work fine for him. It's truly a beast of a truck. With is front locker on its like hitting the Easy button. |
