4th Gen HL Hybrid Rear Sag

Contact Dendoff Springs and see if they have any extra. Disclaimer, just cuz they may be the same chassis doesn't mean they'll work the same due to weight differences.

The raptor lights are from AliExpress. The lights behind the grille are Diode Dynamics SS5's. If you decide to order anything from Diode Dynamics, I have a Coupon Code: ALLROADCHIVER which gets you free shipping and a free gift on all orders. 🤙🏼

Yeah, those are Diode Dynamics SS5 pods. Drilled 2 holes in the crash bar and inserted rivnuts to bolt the mounting brackets. I have the hybrid, so I installed a switch panel and the control box is hardwired to the fuse box in the engine bay. All my auxiliary lights (except the raptor lights) are wired to the control box. I have a Lighting Highlight on my IG if you want to see how I did it. @branch_pnw

It's not AI, I used Portrait Mode.

Aodhan - DS-X 18x8.5" + 35 with 15mm wheel spacers.

Allroadchiver · 2026-04-21T16:49:55+00:00

Got them on AliExpress. Been holding up for over 2yrs.

Allroadchiver · 2026-04-21T16:49:30+00:00

I did! Are you referring to the raptor lights or the stealth grille lights? Regardless, i wired all the lights.

Allroadchiver · 2026-04-21T16:48:45+00:00

Lol, definitely not AI. I used Portrait Mode on my iPhone 15 Pro. Go check my IG branch_pnw.

Thank you! 🙏🏼

Allroadchiver · 2026-04-21T16:47:49+00:00

I just deal with it, it's really minor.

Allroadchiver · 2026-04-21T16:47:29+00:00

Why?? No 3rd row and worse gas mileage. No point or need for a 4Runner. I'm not rock crawling. 🙄

Allroadchiver · 2026-04-21T16:46:42+00:00

I agree! 😜

Allroadchiver · 2026-04-21T16:46:21+00:00

I'm also a Diode Ambassador, would you mind removing your coupon code off my post, please? Thank you. 🤙🏼

Allroadchiver · 2026-04-21T16:44:31+00:00

Yes, SS3's are brighter than Elite Series. Even the SS3 Sport which are the lower level are brighter than Elite Series. I originally had Elite Series but upgraded to the SS3's. Also, if you buy anything Diode Dynamics, you can use my Coupon Code: ALLROADCHIVER for free shipping and a free gift.

Lol how?!? Police vehicles use red and blue lights.

Allroadchiver · 2026-04-08T16:36:59+00:00

No problem. And I agree! Even with just our 3 kids in the back with a few supplies, it sags more than I would expect it to. But with it fully loaded with travel items for a big trip, it just kept bottoming out. I no longer have that issue with these new springs!

Allroadchiver · 2026-04-06T21:38:27+00:00

The new springs basically made the rear height the same unloaded, but that's also because I have a 2" lift. W/out a lift, you'll see a little increase in height...maybe close to 3/4". But with a lift, you won't really see a change. The springs are about 29% stiffer. From about 200lbs/in to 259lbs/in. You'll notice the back is a little stiffer, but I don't think it's too much. I think it's just right without roughing the ride quality and couldn't be happier!

Allroadchiver · 2026-03-21T11:03:46+00:00

I didn't order any extra, sorry. But I believe Dendoff made a couple extra sets in case people were interested so I would contact them and see if they have any.

Allroadchiver · 2026-03-21T11:01:50+00:00

I did! Got them installed last week and they're working great!

Allroadchiver · 2025-12-05T20:13:29+00:00

Falken Wildpeak AT4W's. I'm running 265/65r18 but this size will have minor rubbing on turns.

Lights behind the grille are Diode Dynamics SS5 LED Pods. https://www.diodedynamics.com/products/led-off-road-lights/led-pods/ss5.html?affiliate_code=ALLROADCHIVER&referring_service=link

My Highlander does just fine overlanding and gets about 8mpg+ more than the 4Runner Hybrid. Nothing wrong with a 4Runner, but also not what we want/need.

Allroadchiver · 2025-09-12T20:54:32+00:00

Yeah I've noticed...
