    Let us know if the braking is any better. My wife's Rav4 Hybrid has very touchy brakes, the 4runner, not so much.

    Lowering the amount of surface area of the brake rotor won't increase performance. Changing pads can help. Fluid and lines can help with performance and pedal feel, but I doubt anyone is getting the brakes hot enough on a 4R to induce fade.

    Saw someone post these a few months back, and finally bought off Amazon. Easy peasy to install.

    Will do. They were night and day difference in performance on both the GX460 and Tundra. Really good bite. Shit I’ve locked up the brakes several times in an emergency.

    The pads on the Tundra definitely wore out quicker but that’s due to heavy towing and 37s don’t help haha.

    I'd make it bolt on. If it was me I'd remove the hitch. Use where the hitch bolts on to bolt the tube bumper on and have a hitch receiver welded to the tube bumper. It won't be "cheap" but it'll be cheaper then the aftermarket rear bumpers. I'd also chop the exhaust right behind the rear axle.

    That's my point. But everything has to be discredited here for safety. Ironic, considering we drive off-road vehicles. And yes, I love my pew pews too, fellas.

    Just got mine a couple of weeks ago so just some basic amenities so far...

    Removed the Carmax tags and hatch sticker
    Installed new license plate cover
    LED light kit for interior and license plate.... stock halogens are almost useless. I have a NightShade with tinted windows and all black interior, so I needed more light from the inside to see anything.
    Wireless charger pad for center console armrest cubby
    OEM floor mats - It's a 2019 and came with generic auto parts store mats - how do these go missing on a such a new car? Same with keys, I only got one key from a 2019... (shrug)

    This may upset a few but I traded my 24 trdpro in for the Land Cruiser. I was filled with regret as I walked to the Land cruiser. Then I got in and drove away and all my thoughts about how much I would miss the PRO vanished instantly when I hit the gas and found that with 465 ft lbs of torque I can actually pass now. The disconnecting sway bar is another plus.
