CaliRaised confirmed that the aluminum skid plate has different angles up front than the steel skid plate, and it's not compatible with the Toyota front recovery points as is. They've now updated their product page with that disclaimer. Thankfully, I have the front crossmember, so the skid...

I have a hybrid, so I have the cross member and was able to bolt the skid plate to the cross member. Also, the bolts are technically long enough to attach the recovery points to the frame. It's just that because of the skid plate design, there's no way to get them to sit flat like they are...

I installed the front skid plate from CaliRaised last week. It involves removing the front recovery points (I have the Toyota ones) and reinstalling them afterward. However, because of the angle on the skid plate, I can’t reinstall my recovery points anymore. There’s not enough room for them to...

I asked Dongar on their website and got this reply: The Pro+ module has a different size and is bigger than the Pro. You can still use the same harness so you don't have to unplug it from your vehicles; however, the mount is different, and you need to use the one that will come with the Pro+.

Yeah that's the part that's normally impossible for me

I generally get about 16 mpg because my commute is the worst kind for gas mileage, but this weekend, I managed a surprising 23 mpg! We were on a scout camping trip to Anza-Borrego State Park. The biggest factor was following our Boy Scout trailer at a slowish 55-60 mph. Coincidentally, I...

If I'm swapping from the previous Pro to this new Pro+, is it as easy as unplugging the old unit and plugging this one in its place? So reuse the same power harness and cradle mount?

You can do that with a Carista ($30 at Amazon, but also need $15 monthly subscription). Maybe a dealership would also be able to turn this off for you? I want to turn it off because my dog triggers the alarm, and it's gotta be the loudest out of any car I've ever had.

Looks like you also had a camera on your hood? How did you mount that?

My rack is fine, but there's a huge caveat. I uninstalled the rack from my truck after our camping trip so that I can keep using automated car washes. The good news is removal (and I'm assuming reinstallation) is really fast. I just marked the arm locations with some black tape on my Retrax for...

I've used the folding grab handle on the front passenger side and I always feel like it's a little weak. I really like the sturdiness of the grab handles for the rear entries. I wonder if that would be too disruptive on the A pillars though.

@undergroundsr5 what tire pressure are you running on the AT4Ws?

That's very worrisome. My bed rack is on order from them, so it feels too late to back out now. Also, they have a feature that I haven't really seen elsewhere, which is the variable height of the cross bars. I definitely appreciate the heads up @BuriedFriend.

Worked fine for me. Those are Raceline Krank 17x8.5 +18 with 285/70R17 tires.

On a previous car, I'm pretty sure I used a 3/8" hose that required a heat gun to get onto the nipple, and then it was tight once it cooled. Given that you're mounting kind of permanently, maybe a hose clamp is a viable solution.

True, but I'm not that unhappy. I have the Wildpeak A/T4Ws, and they are quiet and comfortable. It's just a bit of gas mileage penalty. I'm just not going off road enough to the point where I'd need C over SL, but I didn't know that at the time. It's an interesting hindsight question though. If...

C rated tires

I agree that the factory hardware doesn’t seem to be the best. I rounded off one of the nuts when doing the exhaust delete. Given that it happened during removal and not tightening, the torque spec wouldn’t have helped me though. My “solution” was to order these front recovery points so that I...

It might be 87940-something. I can't tell the difference between 87940-AK020, -AK030 or -AK040.

Thanks @BearTacos, that sounds reasonable.
