Great pics. Any more feedback or insight on the transfer case with under drive gearing? Thanks

Does anyone have a long term review on quality/durability of the Bilstein 5160s? I’m currently running Icons and on my third rebuild in 30k miles.

Thanks for taking the time to reply and the in depth review! The BFGs are pretty good in the snow but they don’t have any good size options for a 34”. Good luck with the sale and enjoy the new 4runner.

Hey Chewbaca, I tried PM’ing you but your mailbox was full. Great looking truck and good luck with the sale. I was wondering if you could give me some feedback on the 285/70R18 Nitto RGs. I’m looking at moving up to this size from 285/65R18 BFG KO2s or going to the 275/70R18. Would you...

Sorry Yezus I have not. We are moving in on a couple of months at end of October. I’ll hold them for you.

Will do, thanks

I believe I still have them but we moved to Colorado last fall to a rental and they are packed away in storage. . We wil be moving into our house in a couple months if you can wait until then.

Yes, Tim @ 303 is great to work with and the guys at Toytech were easy to work with as well for the install. I reached out to TT asking about availability on his UCAs, but didn’t hear back. Had I known theyre coming I would’ve possibly waited for them. Oh well just glad its quiet and...

Had the SPCs installed by Toytech in Denver yesterday and squeak is gone. Makes it so much more enjoyable to drive and alignment is spot on and drives great. Also had my icons rebuilt by 303 shocks and reinstalled. I’ll update you all after a few months of driving and off-roading. Really...

JLB Have your SPCs stayed relatively quiet? That is my biggest concern currently.

Im Glad to hear that you e gotten that mileage and I agree with you about the adjustability. I’ve had the old version Nitros since the loft was installed 3-4 years ago and have had no alignment issues. Only issue I have is the noise from the poly bushings.

I’m almost positive they are the rebranded Blackhawks. I’m a little weary of the ball joint issues., but every offroad shop I have spoken to has pushed the SPC over Nitro. Really hoping that greasing the ball joint frequently avoids failure. Spoke to a guy at Toytech and he said he’s been...

Yep I’m in same boat. I bought the last set Filthy had in stock but just got an alert today the Slee has them back in stock.

I was completely sold on the Nitros, but after I ordered them from Nitro Gear I was informed that they‘re backordered until July/August. My poly bushings are shot and can’t stand the squeaking, so I ordered the SPCs from Filthy Motorsports in Boulder. I’ll provide an update once I have them...
