    Dobinsons 2.5" lift. Cooper AT3 XLT 295/70R17.
    I was thinking of a standard SPDT relay, using a method similar to the bypass for the parking brake check on the pioneer dvd radios. On the older radios, you could simply ground the parking brake wire, but the newer radios, the ground had to be momentary using a relay.

    @djwantke is an artist people. He does not subscribe to 4Runner forum norms. way to be a progenitor my friend! With the DOM tubing it will look great. And what a savings over the 3-4k USD rear bumpers. Well done DJ!

    Too poor to buy anything now
    I bought it from a fellow forum member who had pieced it together for his Pro, then changed his entire roof rack. It has "Matterhorn" laser cut on the fairing so I assume it is a Sherpa. I'm not sure about the brackets. They have no mfg name on them but they look pretty simple. I have not yet attached the center bracket, I'm undecided if I want that.
    I did it just for looks as I have yet to use the rack. Maybe it could reduce the wind drag of the rack.

    To me, at that speed, that's too close to avoid unseen road hazards. And almost a sure way to get a chipped or broken windshield.
    But also, you do you.

    When home in Sh!tcago, that amount of space is called "wasted by 5"

    Here in MA if you leave that much space two cars will fill it in.

    Oooh look, another mod.....
    Thank you. To properly draft you should be very close. Like, 10 - 15 ft away from his rear bumper. Back in 2022 I drafted an 18wheeler from Austin to Fort Worth. I stayed very close to him and thankfully we matched speeds for about 45 - 55 miles.

    I was in a 2021 Tacoma TRD Off Road; with AT tires. I managed to get almost 28MPG. When I filled up the next day, my tank average was 25.9MPG (I think?)

    Drafting does work, but you have to be very close.

    Then there's the difference between aerodynamic drag between a single and double trailer configuration...also, if the rig is fully skirted or not. Fact: get close enough and you could actually help the rig's mpg (as well as yours.)

    4Runners rotors are finally shot at 60k. Went ahead and ordered R1 Concepts slotted/drilled rotors and pads. I had really good luck with them on the GX460 and Tundra.
