I have a Thor's Lightning Bolt dual air compressor. Once you start shopping you'll realize that there are at least half a dozen competitors all selling the same unit. Even Napa sells effectively the same thing. In retrospect Vevor's is probably the best deal (if it's in stock). Anyway, it's...
Yup. I think a lot of shops are still using old last gen specs for alignments. I did stop by Discount Tires yesterday to get their opinion and they were firmly in the "get it aligned again" camp.
You've probably already checked this but make sure the springs are correctly oriented. When you're installing them there's a definite position they want to sit in. If they aren't seated correctly I can see how they might make noise as they move. There's a "ramp" or maybe you could call it a...
I doubt it's the tire/wheel combo. I'm running the Method MR705 in 17x8.5 paired with the KO3 in a 285 70r17, which is the recommended set up.
Could be my pressures but then again I'd expect the tire to wear on both the inside and outside if it were under-inflated.
A month or two ago there was a thread where someone was theorizing that alignment shops were potentially using 3rd gen specs to align 4th gen trucks. My alignment was done over a year ago so pretty early in the 4th gen lifecycle so I certainly think that could have been what happened. I'll...
I'm sure you're probably right about the alignment. I don't think it's a balancing issue b/c all four tires are wearing the same (rotated every 5k).
Also, just to clarify, I don't have wheel spacers, the spacer that necessitated the original front end alignment was a pre-load shock spacer to...
I've been running BFGoodrich KO3's in 285/70 17 for just over 20k now and am noticing uneven wear. You can see that alternate blocks on the outside part of the tire are wearing quite a bit faster than the rest of the tire. This is on my '24 TRD OR with Westcott spacers on the front. I had the...
You could potentially get wheel spacers to go with the Trailhunter wheels if you like the wheels but want a bit more poke. I know they're controversial but I ran 1 1/2" spacers on my last truck (2016 GMC Canyon SLT) for 80,000 miles and never had a single issue. Maybe they wear wheel bearings...
To actually answer your question, I would do what you can afford now and the rest later. The tire size you're looking at will fit the stock suspension without issue so if that's all you can afford now, I'd do the tires and wheels and wait on the suspension. Who knows, you might find that you...
Wouldn't hurt to try. Like I said, it's been a year. It's odd that it appears the 5th gen 4Runner is still using the old inverter since the website appears to say that it's the same product as for the 2nd and 3rd gen Tacomas. If you scroll down there's a chart that says the 4th gen Tacoma...
When I bought my truck a year ago I tried to work with the Anytime owner to come up with a solution. The inverter is similar to the one used in the 3rd gen but of course they had to change it just slightly enough that the wiring harness doesn't match. I tried to see if I could get it figured...
I know nothing about these but five minutes of Googling reviews on them, seems like everyone who has them likes them...

I wired in both. You probably only need one since you're only in it for the brake light, but I wired both just to be thorough. Of course I'm not using the turn signal outputs so I just taped the two turn signal wires on the output out of the way.
No, never had any errors, and we wired another friend's truck the same way a week or so ago and his works just fine as well (TRD OR w/Premium Package). It's an interesting question though. I'm not sure what triggers the trailer detection.
I've probably read every post out there wrt rear coil swaps and I'm not aware of anyone replacing the shock due to length issues. Now, some might have replaced the shock just because they were completely upgrading the whole suspension with something like a King suspension, but that's a...
Awesome! I'm going to check that out!
The antenna is for the models that have a wireless controller. The sale is that you don't have to run a wire through the firewall for the controller and you can take the controller and use it remotely outside the vehicle. The catch is the antenna needs...
