Looks great! The 4Runner has to be the go-to overlanding vehicle. I mean where else do you find something as cost-effective, capable, versatile, dependable, reliable, comfortable, and good-looking? You don't. lol With your wheel choice, are you going for a more retro look? I've been eyeballing...

Looks great! I think for most applications, the small lift in the front should suffice for any clearance you may need. The TAXA trailers look cool, especially in person. If it's just you and one other person, both seem like good options. Plus, they're made near me so I'll give them kudos for...

Wow! Never seen a conversion before. As someone who has never looked into this, how safe is this? Does it require much more maintenance/inspection?

Looks great! What size tires did you go with? Is it lifted?

Nice! What all have you done to it? Looks extensive! Any upcoming travel plans?

Looks gorgeous! Any problems down there? I've primarily only heard good things about Baja.

I apologize for not responding to this sooner. Added mass is definitely a large force. Much of my work is in rigging design and analyses of subsea structure installation. So, like you, I'm a big believer in shock loading and dynamic forces. That being said I imagine the weight ratings of leaf...

Love the pictures! That Porsche looks awesome outfitted like that. You're really making me rethink our plans for our 4Runner replacement in the next year or so.

You resurrected a four-year-old thread just to write out two tire brochures?

That thing looks great! I'm a big believer that a small lift is the perfect lift for almost every off-roader.

Good deal. I just wanted to make sure someone didn't try and scam you or something. I'm sure you've already been searching but if you want a night and day difference in drivability, look at swapping the shocks for Bilstein 5100s. I swear by them now after feeling how much the nose dive and...

Sorry about the VW. It looked great with those wheels and tires. But! Congrats on the 4Runner! I am curious though... how do you know it has a locker? Is it aftermarket? ARB? I have a 2015 4Runner SR5 and they did NOT come with a locker, even as an option.

Honestly, it doesn't matter where things are made. Everything depends on the money and effort you put into quality. Although some internal parts are sourced abroad, they're made to the exact spec engineered by Warn. Additionally, Warn is ISO9001 certified which is a certification revolving...

Great pictures! I love this build. I will agree though that the Pentastar is not the engine I thought it could still be at altitude with a trailer. It was so weak. Did you spend all your time in 3rd gear on the way up? Any idea what your trailer weighs in at?

I think your experience makes sense here but I wonder if there is more going on regarding the spring breaking in half. From my understanding, it is one of, if not, 'the' weak point of the spring. I remember you saying you heavily use your trailer off road. I wonder how much fatigue the spring...

Looks like you're making some great pictures! Thanks for the updates.

This thread needs pictures! Some of us do not have the attention span to only read. lol

I guess its been enough time to comment on this topic. Trailer bounce is definitely noticeable when empty. However, when we have it fully loaded, it's fairly planted. Low tire pressure is quite helpful too. I run them in the high 20s usually which absorbs a lot of the bumps. I do want to revise...

Welcome to the group! Nice truck! Double cabs have such a good look to them.

Great looking truck! It's so cool and, yet, so weird to me think of these places being, more-or-less, in your backyard and accessible to drive to. Definitely would be great to see some exploration pictures!
