    All right, I'll sacrifice and come to Hawaii and drive your truck. Let me know when it works for you.

    Is it lifted or leveled? You're running 1.5" spacers as well? KSP? How have they held up?

    Apex Overland has a very similar design and a KDSS option as well.
    https://www.apexoverland.com/shop/A...2R5poFBSU4vgd0XGVS2BWgDqh8d8VxDAaAnNNEALw_wcB
    Currently sold out but I'm sure you can check with them for next availability...
    Also pricier, but that's what you get with your fancy schmancy suspension. :rolleyes:

    This is confusing to me.

    I thought all recovery points had to be red??

    Thanks, they are actually fairly close to me here in NC. I just need to confirm whether those will work or not if I switch to the Talons Garage skids as they are much wider than my RCI skids (I have KDSS). Thanks.

    Greased the slip yokes and the spider joints. I try doing them at every oil change but at least once a year.
    Lucas red n tacky for both. Used the lock n lube coupler.
    I need a pair of ramps. Doing it with front wheels on the curb is a pain and messy.

    At a quick glance I think you'll be OK.
    I looked at a pic on Talon's of the front skid and it appears to extend out just about to the factory tie downs and you can see in my final pic that these are certainly outboard of the factory tie downs. Of course you'll want to verify.

    For all years of 4th and 5th gen 4runner but NOT for KDSS. There is a separate product for that.
    $139 raw steel $229 powder coated
    Plus tax. Mine totaled up to $143.
    Easy install but some clumsy moments here and there.

    Thanks! So far they seem to be a little hard riding. They are sticking to the road well so far as well. I too am coming from the AT3 4s on my 3 4Runners and two Tacomas.

    Bought a cheap rear cargo net and hooked it up on the right side to better secure what's already there and give me more space to toss stuff in!

    Listing said it was for a 4th gen RAV4, it's not wide enough to stretch across the 4Runner's cargo area as it was meant to be installed (as expected) but it's around the right size to do as shown.
