This is something that could keep junk out of the crash bar area. Jeff Westcott did a video on a 4Runner 6th gen where he had removed the crash bar and ice and snow got up in there and started making noise. I think these came out about the same time so I ordered a set. Fits perfectly and apparently does the job. I’ve had no issues. Your truck looks great.
Question in regards to your suspension. I’m looking to upgrade mine. How does it do on regular roads (asphalt) that is rough or nearing the end of its life cycle? That seems to be all we have around here. The trd off-road is great but when you drive twenty plus miles on terrible roads in any vehicle it’ll beat you up.
Also this past weekend I had the opportunity to get lost (literally) on part of the Trans American Trail in the Appalachians . Mainly because I had no signal thus no directions. I probably traveled 20-30 miles or more on a hewn out mountain road that consisted of mostly rock some dirt, gravel, mud, but mostly rock and by the time I got off of it I was sincerely concerned for my suspension. That was going at around 4-5 mph. Do you know or feel that your suspension could hold up to that kind of thing?
I need something that will without breaking the bank. Around $3,000.00 Any suggestions?
maybe look into the OME __64, sounds like this shock is more plush tuned.

Plush tuned is what you want for bumpy roads, the MT64's are supposed to very comfy when you weight them properly. Cant go wrong with OME, they were my option 2.

Right on! Thanks - really good to know!
The 3.5” lift, offset and 11.50 tires work out amazing. I flexed it on a rock, only had to cut some felt in front of the front tires. Even at full lock it doesn’t touch at all.

Just curious if you had to replace anything else other than what came with the new suspension kit? Did you do a Dr. KDSS - Bolt On TrackBar Correction Kit? If I missed it I apologize.

I did just the kit and Dr. KDSS track bar correction. Kit comes with upper control arms and diff drop, diff drop doesn’t interfere with the factory metal skids I have installed.

I’m not sure if this is real. It’s not in stock but has a shipping date for later this year. Couldn’t get a link for some reason, so I did a couple of screenshots.
