    Sorry, wasn't talking about your post. Edited my post to reflect the comments I was referring to.

    The reality is Covid has caused unprecedented supply chain delays. At the same time we have unprecedented demand. Perfect storm.

    Oh ok. Yea I get it that Covid messed up a lot. I can’t speak to the companies motives about shutting down. Whether that’s bc of their state’s legislation or what. Just seems crazy that I'm being told over a year lead time from some companies. Others don’t give a lead time till you check out.

    I understand that their is wait time. I get that. It’s the non upfront and honest ones that bug me. Total Automotive performance actually contacted me about their lead times before the transaction was complete. Companies like that are the ones I’ll continue my service with. I’m not gonna reference the other ones who doesn’t list lead times and waits for the customers 3 weeks later to contact and tell them “ oh yea, you know how it said in stock when you checked out. Well it’s not sorry”. I’m sure people already know who they are.

    Rant complete

    Received my Toytec rear shocks yesterday, so right at 30 day mark. Waiting on JBA UCAs and at the 31 day mark today. Their web site says up to 35 days to ship so wait and see.
    To be honest, the entire supply chain on consumer goods was disrupted big time. Might be two years or more to get thing moving briskly again.

    I agree to many companies using Covid as an excuse for slow manufacturing.

    Today is the day for the 4Runner to get the upgrades that it has been waiting for over 3 months to get…

    CE8D183F-9040-4E0C-81BC-94B3E8C61EF1.jpg

    now I know that this question might come up (granted it is clear in the last picture).

    I started off with 265/70/17 and went to 285/75/17

    I already have a BMC done and as I was backing up today I rubbed a little plastic (nothing major). I can polish that off. Makes me wonder what else I will run into but so far so good. Only way to find out is hit some trails and see what rubs.

    I really like them. Now I am sitting a total of 4” taller over stock height and it feels like it as well.

    Wheels are Relation race wheels with the -12mm offset. Running the RR7-H.

    Looks great! Do you mind posting some more pics? Looking to go with the same wheel but deciding between -12 and -25 offset.

    I did it quite awhile ago on my 17 ORP. I got tired of trying to see my dash when I had put my lights on when it was raining in the daylight. This solved the problem. Not sure where I got the part ebay or Amazon but the part was less than $10. Toyota wants a lot of $ for a photocell. BTW it works well.

    Contacted RCI regarding my missing mounting hardware for the T-case skid. However, while in town today I hunted high and low for a 7/16x1 Carriage bolt in order to get it installed today...and struck out at every store I went to or called. :annoyed:

    At least I managed to get my Gas tank skid installed as well as a set of Cupholder hero liners.PXL_20210605_225229225.jpg PXL_20210605_201239674.jpg

    Besides trimming, your best chance at eliminating the rub is pushing your caster further forward (if you can).

    Is it already maxed out?

    The UCA has a built in 4 degree caster. Thank you for the heads up though. I don’t think I can go much forward. Maybe ever so slightly. Honestly though it is plastic rubbing and nothing else (yet).

    You might be able to go up to 5 degrees with 4 degrees built in to the UCA, but I'm not sure when it comes to those specific arms.

    But trimming plastic is pretty easy too.

    I don't think this mod works with SR5's. Could be mistaken, but that's what I seem to remember.

    Pop that blank sensor and see if you have the wire. I have a feeling Toyota might have it across all for easiness of parts instal. If you have the wires you are good. I see ebay have the light sensor for about 8 bucks.

    I was just reading that in another forum :(

    Already ordered it for $6 off AlliXpress so if it doesn't work I'll pass the sensor on to someone that can use it...

    If I'm not mistaken, a lot of SR5 owners still have the wire but when they plug it in, it doesn't work.

    Been a while since I read that thread, so I might be wrong.......but that's what I seem to remember.

    All of them.
    This is a free mod I thought just roll the dimmer up until it clicks. It should change everything but the clock to regular brightness

    Blacked out badges, window deflectors, smoked 3rd brake light. I have a Borla muffler on order as well as some color matched engine cover stickers. I'll be painting the stock wheels soon as well. Falken tires in the fall as well.
    It's different. I kinda like it. The only thing that really matters is that you like it though.

    Finally installed one of my showers the other day
    Anyone who has built one, I have a pressure relief valve where the faucet is(left)...no leaks anywhere but where I fill the tank with water/air(right) water bubbles come out(this is a screw in cap)I only go to 20psi
    Do I need to overkill tightening the threaded fill cap? Is there too much water? Does my valve need to be open? My gauge goes down to zero but when I open my valve a lot of air/water is pushed through
    Any ideas?


    took off sliders to clean/paint
    Going from silvergreyish to some sort of black...biting the john wick batman bullet I guess
