    Calling all Automotive Engineers

    I don't see anything wrong with the way they designed it, structural engineers are pretty smart and don't typically do things that don't have a purpose. I'm trying to understand from a structural engineering point of view why it may have been designed the way that it is. Ultimately I'm trying to...

    Calling all Automotive Engineers

    Why did Toyota design the 4runner body mounts this way? What impact does altering these have? I have to imagine that if the extra material wasn't needed they wouldn't have designed them this way. I'm very interested to hear technical explanations to try and understand this from an engineering...

    2020 T4R TRD PRO Biggest Tire

    I plan to keep my suspension stock, but am contemplating SSO Slimeline front bumper and high clearance mod. I will totally BMC too if that would make way for 33's.

    2020 T4R TRD PRO Biggest Tire

    This is one of the pages I have read, but it does not talk about the the TRD PRO. Biggest Tires on Stock 4Runner? Biggest Tires on 4Runner with Lift Kit?

    2020 T4R TRD PRO Biggest Tire

    I am trying to figure out if I can fit a 285/70R17 on my stock 2020 TRD PRO with out body mount chops, UCA replacement or any other mods. I have seen a thread on a T4R forum that a 275/70R17 will fit on other models with out any rubbing, so does the 1 inch lift on the PRO clear the way for the...

    2020 4Runner Build

    Thank you for the rundown, I really appreciate it. I’m really surprised to hear that the Fox PRO suspension got destroyed on a trip, I would have thought it was tougher than that.

    2020 4Runner Build

    One of the main reasons I went with the TRD PRO is that the Toyota engineers already did their magic to it. I'm hoping that means I will need to do very little to it. What made you decide to modify your suspension? Tire size? I would love to put some 32s or 33s on it, but I understand that's...

    Well my CBI rock sliders arrived surprisingly early. They were very easy to install and look incredible.

    Hi Nate, welcome to OB. Can you tell me some more about Hurricane Creek trail? Just like you I’m always looking for some good places to go wheeling.

    They are both great vehicles, but for me the 4Runner worked better for my family, car seats fit in great, with little to no adjustment to the driver seat needed (I’m 5’ 11”). The cargo area is plenty big (I do not have the slide out tray), you know its going to retain its value and its just a...

    Thanks dude. It’s been fun getting out and using it. I’m not sure about the moderator thing.

    I have made my first major purchase for the truck, CBI rock sliders with top plates, powder coated black. Unfortunately they have about a 10 week wait time and so it will almost be Christmas by the time I get them. -A few pics from Ft. Fisher State Park

    2020 4Runner Build

    I have added a few items to the inventory, mostly recovery gear, I like to be prepared. I got all of it off of Amazon, the D-rings, hitch receiver shackle and recovery strap are from a company called Rhino USA and seems like some well made stuff. The Smittybuilt air compressor is easy enough to...
