    Hand built by a guy in Texas. Essentially a gobi lol. Minor wind noise at highway speed. Not loud enough to know if it was there prior to the rack

    Do these spacers go on top of the top hat? Any photos of the before & after on your dad's 4R? Also, did you have any takers on the extra set?

    Had a compustar remote start installed in my wifes 2020 4Runner. Its interesting, they dont actually make one for the 2020 model yet however the installer had read that you can use the same firmware as the 2019 Highlander and sure enough, it worked with no issues at all!

    Weather tech. They have 2. Since they are local to me I tried both. They have a stick on flush mount. The fit was not great, so I went with the bolt on. Simple install with 6 screws. AVS makes one similar, I like this one as the name peels right off and does not leave a mark
    Edit, weather tech uses a Ford in there picture so probably same manufacturer

    They do go on top of the top hat so no need to disassemble the coil over. We ended up not installing them. They may go on after the tires get installed but not sure yet. They are still available if you want them.

    I appreciate the response, thank you. I'm still trying to decide whether to use these spacers or Eibach shocks @ .86. I've done spacer lifts on Jeeps in the past, but in those cases, they were a bit simpler to install, with a direct 1:1 lift amount. If you put the Cornfed spacer on top of the top hat, what is the process of removing the top hat? Sorry for all the seemingly ignorant questions...4R suspension is a bit of a mystery to me...I do have an inquiry in to Cornfed as to whether they have a set of installation instructions available so I'd know what to expect.

    Drove almost 600 miles over four days traveling for various Thanksgivings. Got up to 19.6 mpg on the first leg of the trip which was nice. Really really enjoy the ride of my 4runner!

    Put a lot of dirt/grime on the Runner. Made a quick weekend trip to Crested Butte from Denver. 525 miles or so total. I've stopped checking gas mileage, but it was a tank and a quarter-third or so. Went from 6000 feet at the house to 11,300 over Monarch Pass. Snow, rain, ice, negative temps, wind. The 4Runner was great. No problems with AT3W's - great traction. Didn't need 4WD much except on the icy roads from Gunny to CB.

    I’ll get around to it. I’m sitting in Baymurat, Uzbekistan for the next 9 days and only have coin-slot dial-up internet in the hotel lobby and limited cell signal (on the hotel roof).

    There is no removal of the top hat. There are 3 nuts on top of the coil over and 1 bolt on the bottom. Remove the lower bolt, remove the 3 upper nuts, drop the whole thing down, put the spacer on top, bolt it back up. The spacer sandwiches between the top hat and the shock seat pretty much like a coil spacer on anything else but there is no disassembly of the coil over needed. You may have to unbolt the lower ball joint which is 2 bolts and you may have to unbolt the sway bar link which is 1 nut. I've lifted many Jeeps in the past and many 4Runners more recently. 4Runner is easier IMO.

    Sorry for the delayed reply.

    They are 'bolt' on, pretty simple install. The are by Bushwhacker. All the bolting/screws are inside the wheel well

    It’s a Greenlane Off Road aluminum hidden winch bumper. They are a company in British Columbia that specialize in aluminum products. I have their sliders also. Pretty good company, I helped them a little on the prototype for the bumper, they do pretty good discount sales now and again. Think they are doing a 10% off right now. Shipping to US wasn’t a problem and they convert to American dollars, the prices on their site are Canada dollars.
    Factor 55 fairlead and shackle.

    It’s not. Food sucks, an uncomfortable amount of Russian military here, and no cable TV.

    Both 91 and 135. Wish it was 91 only. Current trip is 91. We don’t charter much as the owner is very selective over who gets to use the plane.

    This place is first world compared places like Sierra Leone. At least I’m not at risk of getting dead for being outside. On a lighter note, drank some vodka last night with a couple of Russian soldiers. Super cool guys and they can definitely handle large amounts of potato liquor.

    Looks great. How is the ride compared to stock? I am looking to do almost exactly the same set up with 6112s, 5160s, but I want to keep some rake so looking at a 2" rear spring. Did you do UCAs? I am looking at the SPCs. Do you think you could go up to 285s with the suspension the way it is? I don't want to do a BMC but would like 285s.

    Thanks,
    Jimmy

    285s fit completely stock if it's a street truck. Trimming is based upon 2 things, period. Wheel selection and intended use. Nothing else matters in this department.

    Fuck that shit hole. Went there last year for a week. I’ll do everything in my power to avoid that place going forward.
