Thanks man. Happy to help.

Nah. Half out of laziness, half that I'm trying to get Dan (Mr RTI) Edmunds up here to do it impartially. Still extremely happy with the setup, have yet to drive a better vehicle. One possible avenue for you might be just to have Dark Horse Customs here in Bozeman do everything for you. We...

I'm really on the fence. My current 4Runner is faster, more efficient, has better dimensions Offroad, and has the same payload as the 5th gen. But man, the ability to see out of its windows just feels way too safe sometimes.

Don't forget the GX has full time and kdss too.

Others have made these points, but let me be a bit less diplomatic: it is insulting to us Toyota enthusiasts that Toyota sells the 5th gen T4R. It is something vastly beyond insulting that they charge $50k for them. These are first cars for 16 year old girls, not serious trucks for enthusiasts...

I loaned the truck to GFC for that photoshoot. We don't actually run a tent on it. I'm of the admittedly controversial opinion that RTTs really don't make sense on an SUV. You're just making too many sacrifices in order to carry a small shelter that's incredibly exposed to the elements in the...

The spare is not the limiting factor here. Not even close.

I hang a 275/70-18 Toyo ATIII LT under the 12.5ga tank on ours, and don't notice any difference in clearance. If you're really dragging the truck's ass that much, change to a heavier rear spring. The idea of trying to safely get off a trail, or along miles and miles of highway until you can...

Added a little something to the back bumper.

So I've got a Black Series HQ12 on the way: HQ12 - Travel Trailers - Black Series - https://www.blackseriescamper.com/travel-trailers/hq12.html Installing a RedArc Tow Por Elite brake controller next week, I already have a good drop hitch, and I know to run the transmission in S. Anything else...

Leave it at that factory 20mm setting if you have a bumper and winch.

Just copy my build exactly. It's basically a 200-series Raptor: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/oe-long-travel-200.1216258/ It's as confidence inspiring on-road as the stock Cruiser, and handles dirt just like the fast Ford.

Post bankruptcy, the sites were all acquired by a remarkably incompetent VC firm that has since lost all the talent, spoiled the user experience, and destroyed all revenue. It's sad. https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2018/02/hogan-thiel-gawker-trial/554132/
