    Hello there!
    I’m a jeeper who has a lifted daily driver. I have some experience wheeling but not much when it comes to wrenching. I’ve been lucky so far with help from friends, forums and YouTube university. The Jeep has a lot of miles and still runs well, but I think it’s time to get something new. I’m a fan of 4Runners given their engine longevity and their cool look so I ‘reserved’ what I could from a local dealer. 2022 off road with KDSS. I want to talk to you, the actual experts about the 4Runner so I can go into this with my eyes more open (4Runner arrives at the end of the month). I chose the KDSS option because I’ve heard it offers more wheel travel, beefier factory sway bars and a more stable ride on road-mode (wife will love this) than the off road version does without it. I could only get the TRD offroad package so I planned to upgrade to the ‘TRD Pro’ style coil-overs and lift it some to get some 33-35” wheels under it at a later date. So that’s me..this is where I’m at and I have a ton of newb questions for y’all. Thanks and apologies for all the pestering to come.
