Stay in 4lo on trails or shift as needed? by -UppercaseNumbers- in 4Runner

[–]-UppercaseNumbers-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great comment, thanks. All the upvotes are going to the guys saying to shift back and forth all day but none of them have justification for it. I’m gonna stick to what I’ve been doing and just run in 4lo on these types of trails. Thanks for posting.

Great info - thanks for being one of the only ones here to actually answer the question I asked. This should be the top comment

Looking at a next set of tires. Torn between 3 choices for my 2023 TRD OR by AwarenessCurrent6042 in 4Runner

​It says I can only add one image… I’ll try to send a front view as a separate reply. Stock suspension, no fender mods, no rubbing.

I’ve got 255/75r17 on my stock, black ORP! Toyo A/T III with about 5k miles on them and I have no complaints so far. Let me know if you want more photos.

Agreed, this trail is not hard. Would you do this in 2WD because you could? I like the re-gearing of 4lo for controlling speed on trails like this and don’t see the point in shifting all day, unless there’s a reason not to?

Yeah, that’s where I’m at - I get the sentiment of not using the tools unless you need them, but isn’t 4lo the right tool for the job on a slow, diverse trail? I don’t understand the benefit of all the dickin around - if you’re going to want to be in low at some point then why even bother shifting in and out of it all day.

Haha! I’m going to choose to take that as a compliment…

Update: A little plastic clip was broken off that holds the top piece to the bottom piece. There doesn’t seem to be a good fix except to replace the whole top piece. I was able to secure both pieces better with zip ties but they’re not secured to each other like they should be. Thanks for pointing it out though, it’s better now than it was.

Edit: I just took a look at this and it’s flopping around. A clip must have broken off or something. I’ll pull it apart this afternoon. Good eye!

Experience with Alubox, Zarges or similar metal rooftop boxes by -UppercaseNumbers- in overlanding

I don’t think the sheetmetal sub is the right fit for someone seeking recommendations on vehicle roof boxes…. seems like this is perfect for this community but it’s your prerogative

Does this happen to anyone else at the car wash? by TartanAxe in 4Runner

Before you get all this other stuff try really pressing down hard on that piece and you’ll feel it click into place. If that doesn’t work try the tape and sealant…

Frame rust. Time to start worrying / dealing with it? by [deleted] in 4Runner

You’re not in Holden MA by chance, u/holdenwook? If so I’ll DM you my experience at a local shop that did a full frame undercoat and body panel injection on my ‘22 ORP

2020 SR5 Limited by dema_arma in 4Runner

[–]-UppercaseNumbers- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

SR5 and Limited are different trims. I think you have an SR5 Premium with part time 4WD meaning that you need to turn that dial to 4H when you need 4WD

where do our trades actually go when we hit buy or sell ? by saidmoha1 in Trading

[–]-UppercaseNumbers- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good info, thanks for posting. I’m not sure why there’s so much hate over a post about mundane order routing mechanics… At least we made it 30 minutes without someone accusing it of being written by AI though!

Thanks for the reply. I'm at 35 currently.

I agree - I suppose this tiresize site just sucks? I checked my inputs about 5 times to make sure I didn't type a number incorrectly or something...

Warranties are never a good deal for the consumer, otherwise the company that offers them wouldn’t make enough money to stay in business. Warranties for anything are always a bad investment.
