    Last Thursday finally had a whole weekday free:

    Installed Eibach Pro Truck Stage 1 + their UCA's.
    SuperPro front and rear sway bar links
    Icon adjustable rear track bar
    Installed LASFit low, high, fog, turn, running LED's.

    Friday morning:

    Alignment

    Friday noon - Sun evening:

    11 hour round trip drive to Fredericksburg, TX to wine country. Truck ran and performed like a champ. Massively reduced nosedive and much better tracking in the wind. Visited a friend who owns one of the larger vineyards there. Great meals, great wine, came home with about 3 cases of wine and spent a long overdue weekend with my wife. We hadn't traveled this year after the greatest dog I've ever known was diagnosed with bone cancer in February. He passed at the end of July. Good times. My liver hurts...!

    Any reason you went with and adjustable track bar? Also did you notice a size difference in the front sway bar end links?

    I actually removed the rear sway bar after I installed eibach rear struts. Yes there's just a little more body roll/sway but its not noticeable if you drive reasonable/normal, but it improved the ride quality.

    Also if you have already look into bump stops.
    I sugguest these. They are much cheaper then other brands and pretty much the same thing

    Ya, didnt think about bump stops when I bought the kit and have been researching recently. Thanks for the link.

    I will be loading my rig for long trips, lots of offroad and pulling an overland style trailer. Wanted improved stability even with a trailer E-brake and Powerstop brakes.

    I have but will probably go the air bag helper route. Dual AR up front, plum to the front and rear bumpers and a panel in the rear of the cabin to fill and deflate the bags. My trailer is not terribly heavy, but heavy enough I wanted improved roll ability.

    Swapped from Slee to SDHQ billet terminals. Since both are taller, you have to turn them slightly so the cables aren't stretched out. The Slee are good but they are just too long for the standard battery even if you get their shorter version.

    Slee:

    SDHQ:

    Bonus content: I got a no start condition after I did the work so I swapped back to the Slee terminals only to still have a no start condition. I checked voltage, ground, cables for damage, jumped it from my battery pack and from my other car but nothing. I saw my mistake and took a picture. If you find it, I'll give you an internet high five.

    Placed an order with Ironman 4x4 for their Stage 3 Nitrogas lift kit. They have a 25% off sale + free shipping. Went with the 2.5" front lift and 2" rear with adj rear sway bar links and adj panhard bar. I will probably replace the front rotors and front brake pads while I'm in there too. Will post up pics when everything comes in.

    Since 2023 Honda Pilot is getting matching All terrain spare tire may be 2024 TRD Pro would get a matching spare tire? So TRD Pro owners don't have to buy one on their own? :drunk:

    I am truly sorry for your losses. Even though we don't know each other and have never met. It doesn't matter.

    Thank you for sharing all of this and God bless you, stay healthy and may the force be with you.

    IM sorry. That is a lot to take on. Sounds like she is lucky to have you. A vehicle is something that can be replaced, this time with her can not.

    Best wishes to you!

    Sorry for the loss of your doggo, lost one of mine to bone cancer and another to cancer three years ago. It never gets easy losing a great dog. Sounds like you celebrated them properly!

    We did. Buried ona friends ranch next to a huge wood pile where he used to chase rabbits. My wife said, he is a once in a lifetime dog. And she is right. Miss him every day. Sorry for your loss. Anyone who loses a close relationship with a dog understands how unique that relationship is.

    Took her out to play in some fresh powder.
    Just wanted to mention, I was a bit worried my TSS came on, but after looking at the sensor it was covered with ice, wiped it off and off it went.

    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.
    I agree. I love my Nautical Blue Runner.

    Finally got my wife’s 4Runner back from lift and new wheels and tires. We did the Westcott Designs lift and TRD Pro replica wheels with 285/70R17 Toyo Open Country AT3’s.

    Nice, nice and nice!
    Looking great.
    Curious, did your Trail Edition come with the Fox suspension like my ‘21 Pro?

    Ah, ok. So Westcott must make a lift kit for the OEM SR5 suspension?
    I used their kit on my ‘21 Pro w Fox suspension and am happy with the results. BTW, I have duplicate tires and wheels as your new ones and so far, happy with the Toyos.

    Undercoated in the inner frame. I also manged to break most of the outer frame plugs. Can't for the life of me find the round plugs. I think one has number 19 on it and the other has #1 on it. I found a part number for the rectangular #4 plug #90950-01987. Anyone by chance have #s on the outer side frame plugs? I can't find any diagrams on toyota after about an hour of searching. I used woolwax LV on the inner frame and regular woolwax on the outer exposed metals

    Yes they offer it for the other trims as well. So far it has been great! And yes, I love the Toyos
