What have you done to your 5th Gen 4Runner today?

I'm running 285/70 R17 on -12 offset wheels. I had to remove front mudflaps and also do the inner fender liner mod.

 

Just got 2.5 lift done today im so
Happy with that

 

Looks great

 

Please add some additional pictures! Looks fantastic! Going MGM myself!

 

Those wheels look fantastic! It’s actually a visual relief to look at non-black wheels. I can actually see what they look like!

 

Comfort item. Katzkin seat warmers added in the total purchase and installed today by the dealer. These things are hot.

 

I wish I can have these for my rear seats. For now I have a heating pad and a heated blanket for the child seat. Want to have factory looking heated rear seats.

 

Here is a pic of the front coil overs from my 2018 TRD ORP w/KDSS
They appear to be the same markings and wrap.

Is this correct for the KDSS model?

 

I also noticed the markings were the same on other KDSS models (unsure of the year). Mine is a 2021, non-KDSS, and has different markings on the left/right front springs.

 

I’m sure you very well could and sure there are certainly other brands out there. Catch is needing professional install or DIY in removing and re-installing the factory seat covers. Wire to power and locate the hardwired switch where you’d like (maybe back of the center console?). It crossed my mind but zero need. Only an 8 month old currently!

 

Yep KDSS models use identical springs.

 

Went from matte white hood scoop glare blocker to matte black.

 

@CJT4Runner
Looks like there's a hole in your hood...I LIKE IT!

 

Wired up the light bar and installed the bumper support brackets.

 

Do you like it better? I have the matte white on my hood now. Wasn’t sure if I’d be happy with the look.

 

I do. To me the matte white was off enough on the super white to notice. Not from afar but behind the wheel it bothered me.

 

I think the KDSS corrects the lean?

 

I have KDSS and had to use a 1/4” spacer up front and 3/4” spacer in the rear of the passenger side to correct the lean with a 2.5” lift

 

When you get KDSS lean problem can't you take it to a shop and recalibrate KDSS from the valves under the body on driver side? (Without using spacers? )
Wonder how much dealership would ask for the fix?

 

I don't have lean with my kdss.

You reset the level to resolve issues caused by lifting the vehicle-changes in wheel size/level usually means you need to reset VSC. The way I understand it, KDSS is also sensitive to lift and if you lift more than about 2.5", you may end up with issues. I would think it also benefits from accurate level for adjustment of the sway bar.

 

That won’t fix the issue from what I’ve read.

 

It’s weird. Some do, some don’t. I put the exact same lift kit on my buddy’s 2013 GX 460 and he’s got no lean. My 2017 had the lean right after I flexed it while wheeling

 

Didn’t work for me. I tried a dozen times and only got the front within 1/4” but the rear stayed at 3/4” gap

 

Strange, worked for me after I put my lift on. I'm 24" from center of hub to fender in the rear and 21.75" in the front on both sides.

 

Lucky bastard haha

 

KDSS lean is generally worse than non KDSS lean especially with a lift. There is a calibration procedure that can be done and it does correct the majority of the lean. I'm a dealer for Cornfed Suspension, I sold a kit to someone with KDSS and she said her 4Runner felt very unstable after install, like she was on a cruise ship. I told her about the recalibration and she messaged back saying once she was done, it felt better than it did when it was stock. I have never personally done the calibration and she was the only one to ever have that complaint so I guess it's rare but it does happen.

 

Installed ICON Rebound Bronze 17x8.5. Wanted to be different from the common black and grey wheels.

 

By calibration do you mean perform the steps in the video above? Or is this something you’d have to take to he dealership?
