Yikes. That is BS about the XREAS anyways. Once you pulled the old XREAS struts and shocks, the truck is no different than a non-XREAS 4Runner.

The KO3 is one of the smallest 285… others are a tad larger thus amplifying the issues but they are resolvable with alignment tweaks, removing mud flaps, moving front liner and trimming

If anyone is still watching this thread, I have a question about running a 285/70 18 on a 2016+ LC. I see some comments that a 34" will cause some problems, and require some trimming. This size is a 33.7" according to online sources, and it seems...

So I've done this on a couple of boxes now. Mine was stuck on good too. What I ended up doing to get mine to pop IIRC was to rest the TC on the bench, with the entire weight of the TC resting on a brass drift, which was resting on that bolt, so...

Just a heads up, the videos above with Georg from Valley Hybrids are amazing, though he does go through some unnecessary steps if you're just regearing. I was following his videos and was removing a bearing from the end of the idler assembly (I...

I never could get that bolt to release, so I just left it in place. I wacked on it A Lot, and eventually decided that replacing the seal under it was not critical because it sits at the top of the TC, so no oil is going to leak, anyway. It was...

ask and ye shall receive, 285/70 R18's

That’s like as much as I paid for my 200. And I like the 200 seats more 😳

The third mount on the steering rack does unbolt, worst case the tabs that mount it to the rack body would need to be trimmed, then the diff actuator should clear. Since the Tundra makes do with two mounts, perhaps the 200 can, too. The front...

Whew, what an adventure that was! We had 12 trucks in total including 2 on our end. My 80 and finally my FJ60 that has been an ongoing 5 year project. In a sense, for us, this was as much a story of a trip as it was a truck trying to get the 60...

Glad you could make it! This was one of the best trips yet. Frank

Awesome. Thanks for the quick reply. Happy trails.

Does that center cap fit the 200 Series Cruiser? I'm hoping to install a set of these Tundra rims on my future rig. I think it's a really nice wheel.

Your call. I run only OEM filters on my vehicles. When I bought my '09 Challenger at 15,000 miles it had a K&N oil filter on it. Before I took the car home I racked it and spun that off and put a Mopar SRT filter on it. The oil was fresh M1 0-40...

Thanks for a great time, guys. I appreciate y'all including me. I hope to see you all again on another trip. -Russ

Okay. I'll drive up as soon as I can. I'll see y'all up there.

I'm in the Vons lot, blue 80 Series with a roof rack and 2 small gas cans. I have my radio with me on channel 22. Walking into Vons now.

I'll be at Vons momentarily. I'm in a blue 80 Series. What about you? Where in the lot are you?

I'm twenty minutes away

Did y'all make your lunch stop yet? I'm in Lone Pine now, just checking on the group. If you already finished lunch, could someone share your current location? Thanks.

Let the Tetris begin!

Just an FYI, no campfires. Y'all probably knew that already.

Cool, I sent you my number. We should be there around then but sometimes tiny bladders in the kids and my 60 mean more stops... you know how it goes. I will let you know if we get overly delayed. Frank

Sounds good. I'll plan to meet up with you guys at the Vons. I'll plan to be there by 2:30. Thanks again.

Typically, we head to the Vons on the north side of town to shop and get gas. It's a big parking lot so can handle a group and has everything in one spot. I would say either meet at the Vons or at the air down spot at the beginning of the...
