Lifting Your Toyota 4Runner? Don’t Forget About Bump Stops!
I loved the KO2, but I experienced the similar wet weather performance you mention. I experienced rear wheel slip when accelerating from stops in wet conditions. And standing water was an issue. However, I purchased the KO3 as replacements. Though I still have not tested them fully, I have note experienced the wheel slip at the light in wet weather.
Totally! It’s a great tire, yet the wet weather performance left a little to be a desired imo. I’m really interested how you like the K03!
Sooooo….. judging from the comments, some people have good luck with SPC, some bad. But all JBA comments are nothing but good. Says something
Totally! Speaks a lot to quality control. To date I have only heard one complaint about JBA’s and that had to do with some paint chipping, and those control arms ended up being replaced by JBA one day later without any questions asked.
Thanks for the review. I was about to hit buy on these, but your wet performance review gives me pause, as that's probably the biggest "weather" that I deal with on a regular basis here in the Seattle area.
Always happy to provide some perspectives! I’m curious to hear what you end up with.
I don’t get my wireless CarPlay to work… any advice?
What’s going on with it? I have a few tricks!
Do you know if the 2006 4Runner limited has 29 or 30mm sway bar bushings?
I think mine are 30mm. But what do you think after a year? I’m debating poly vs rubber bushings
Same as the ones in this video and the description! They’ve been fantastic for me. No issues.
You should do a brake fluid video!
Soon!
Thanks for your information. Cheers.
Always!
Hey was the 1 gallon enough for the rear?
With some to spare!
How I fit 33” on my 4Runner : 1. Kept factory offset wheels on ORP (saved money & saved turning arc that eats into clearance) 2. Bought 33” tires and had them mounted and installed on the vehicle
Nice! Watch that they don’t rub on the control arms!
Whats the price?
T4Rewired on Facebook/Instagram.
Can i get a link to place order on the same setup?
Lame
I know you are but what am i
Hey, does the usb port under the armrest also works for this or just the port in the dashboard? My usb port in the dashboard is broken thats why raising the question 😢
Any port! It just needs power :)
Add the yellow fog light would go nice with it.
Been updated quite a bit since then!
The reason I went with the KO2 on my Tacoma was the weight. Looking at similar tires, the KO2 turned out to weigh the least and the Tacoma isn't a powerhouse to begin with. I have been careful about driving in the wet based on all of the reviews, but I have never hydroplaned on these. We don't get a lot of rain anyway, so it isn't a big deal, but this definitely is not a good performer on wet snow. I've slid around on these and that was not confidence inspiring. Would I buy them again? Probably yes, if we are talking about an underpowered vehicle. If other tires become lighter then I might switch in a few years.
Post installation, with the SuperPro lower control arms, do you notice more vibration, otherwise feel the road more?
@@coachonpoint none at all! I’ve actually been really happy with them. No squeaking either.
What headlights are those? Really sick rig man. Looks clean as hell but not overdone.
Damn what tires are those and how high of a lift is needed?
35x12.5 Falken AT3W! Just a lot of trimming :)
How many of those 1L bottles did you use?
Just one for a quick flush!
What are the specs?
-38 17x9 35x12.5
Great video, we have these tires on my wife's 2016 wrangler no issues living in buffalo NY area seem to good in wet roads also great in snow , no problem with wearing...But in my opinion as you stated you can get a better tire for less I have been running Atturo trailblade XT on all my trucks for the last 8 years they handle better than the BFG in all conditions....
Is there a video anywhere of installing the plates people speak of?
I believe so
What’s the part number for the LED?
I don’t want to buy this specific fan, seems overpriced and you don’t know the CFM. Would you mind measuring the diameter so I can find a replacement?
It’s the OEM fan for the Lexus. Has the bolt holes and all the jazz where they need to be which makes it easy. Specs should be listed on the manufacturer website!
@@looseaxles Ended up finding out that it’s about 10 inches but couldn’t find a replacement with a CFM number. I’ll probably just grab a 10” pusher fan and do a little custom work, I think it’d be worth it for the airflow
What does this badge signify?
It’s the old Toyota Tri colour badge! Previously used in a lot of designs.
Hey man, are these the HD brackets or the regular Sherpa brackets?
Just the regular awning mounts! They do great. Unless you have a gigantic batwing, the regular mounts will do great.
this might be a dumb question, but what is the difference between these UCA’s and say the straight kind like the stock ones?
Really great question! I actually have another video on the JBA’s you might want to checkout. The biggest thing is depending on which model you get, they can accommodate a lift kit while keeping your UCA geometry aligned and allow for better movement of the ball joint. You’ll find these a little beefier, easy to maintain, and will add the caster if you get that option.
auxito makes good stuff
They sure do!
If the pump is already bad and it’s making the noise and my check engine light came on today does that mean I have to pull the pump out and clean out the system or can I just put a bypass kit in and clear the codes and call it a day ? ?? 😮😮
Great question. I’d touch base with SlyFox over email to confirm. My guess is that your time would be better spent replacing the system, or seeing if you can install a bypass with block off plates.
Had JBA’s for two years, no issues.
That’s what I’m talking about!
The SPC xAxis bushings strike again
Right back at ya again!!!
Looks good! One thing I’d add for any others considering the SPC UCA’s, these actually saved my bacon following my lift because my alignment cams in the LCA’s were seized. Having the adjustable UCA’s allowed me to get my alignment well enough within spec that I could drive around without chewing tires until I had the time to cut off / replace the LCA’s and cams.
Sadly, SPC’s have gone seriously downhill in build quality. Tons of issues with ball joints and X-axis bushings. They work great if your lowers are seized… but as soon as they go, you’re now replacing both your uppers again and lowers!
@@looseaxles I could see that being the case - I put mine on in 2019 and they’ve stood up to some abuse over the years, but it’s also obvious they’re not as strong as some other options on the market. I’ve also heard of some of the issues you’re mentioning, as well as some people outright snapping one of the arms
Going to look at a 4.7V8 06 with 180k miles, it’s going for 7k I think it’d make a fun winter project, this is what I hope I can turn it into 😂
Welcome to the addiction!
Greetings, where can I get that roof rack?
It’s a Sherpa Princeton roof rack!
Yea can't afford v8 gas, so i settle for my v6 05 4runner 😅
Hardly a settle! Long live the 4th gens!
This is an awesome stance! Do you have the specific spring #?
It’s a 650lb spring!
Will this happen eventually to every VVTi V8? I have 176k on my 06' 4Runner with no issues. Does the SAIS fail at a certain mileage?
It’s hard to say for sure, but I myself did it as a preventative measure.
Thanks for the video. What do you do for a spare tire? Will these fit in the designated space for the spare?
Aired down… they might! I personally don’t even have a spare (I know). Hoping to build a swingout soon to solve that.
What did the wheels and suspension lift kit cost if you don't mind sharing?
Hey Jason! Great question. I would like to say the front Coilovers were around 1200 CAD. The rear shocks and coils around 800 CAD. Each tire was around 350 give or take with each wheel being around 300 I believe.
@@looseaxles Thanks so much. That's about what I estimated based on my research. Now I need to convert to US dollars;-)
I literally just trimmed the bumpers on my 05 this weekend, looks great. Watched as many videos I could for ideas but ended up keeping the center and mudflap bracket trimming 2in off the bottom and used an axel nut for the curves and put black trim on. Looks like it should have been a factory option lol
Great call on the Axel nut - I bet that looks sharp! I totally agree with the bumpers being a tad more trimmed from factory.
@@looseaxles I haven't seen anyone do the rear like I did. Wish I could show you but I don't know much about tech bs lol
What are bump stops for?
Ensure you don’t put a tire through a fender or damage your suspension - I’ve got a few videos on them!
@@looseaxles i see thanks for the info.
How long was that bolt?
Atleast 5 inches.
They are deadly in heavy rain!! I'll never buy them again
I agree in my case as well!
Hey! Watched your video and noticed it was from 7 months ago. Was wondering if you were still gonna do an update video on this head unit. A bit curious if your impressions have changed after 7 months of using it. Thanks!
Hey Dave! What a great idea. I’ll film an update here and upload it! It’s been fantastic for me. No issues at all.
@@looseaxles Thank you! Glad you are still enjoying the head unit. I look forward to seeing your update 😁
Totally agree on the wet performance…..Ran them on a Yukon for 10 years in a very wet place, standing water at speed is scary, exactly as he said…….Switched to Yokohama GO15’s which plow through deep water no problem!
Just got the AT4Ws and they're incredible. No road noise, no negative impact on gas, looks great, and even fully aired up has insanely good traction offroad
I am so jealous! It looks like they made some huge improvements. What tires did you have previously?
@looseaxles I had Cooper Rugged Treks, which came on the truck I bought. They were pretty worn, but they were LOUD and just okay on traction. Looked great though. I've also had Hankook dynapro AT2s on another truck and for a mild all terrain, I was very impressed with the performance offroad and in snow
I seen the video about fitting the 35s but was that everything you did? I’m up in the air about what all I need to do to get them to work. I see so many different things about what you have to do. I have a 3” lift right now and I have jba uca’s
Just replied to your comment on my 33-35”s video. There’s a lot to do!
@@looseaxles thanks I’ve cut the body mount and beat in the pinch welds and cut the bumper. I really want 35s or maybe 305s I think I would be happy with also
Nice video, I’ve had my SPC going on about 50k miles I wheel pretty hard, daily drive and even now doing little jumps with the truck. I’m on bilstien 6112/5160 and sumo spring bumps. I regularly grease them every oil change as recommended. Not a single issue with them. I was considering JBA but I had ran SPC coilovers and camber control on my old Honda so I knew they were a trusted brand with years behind them so I went with them. Sorry to hear others had problems
Glad to hear! Keep a really close eye on them! I have found my JBA’s to be miles above!
What all did you do to get the 35s on
Your ball joint is bad. It isn't the adjustment that caused this.
Yes, it is bad. It is the style of ball joint.
