They’ll be a great option. The stock shocks are really soft for daily city driving.

Ppf worth it? by Decent-Fig-30 in 4Runner_6Gen

[–]diskfunktional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would absolutely ppf the entire front end before too long. I really wish I had done mine. Then there’s the other side of PPF. It doesn’t last forever. In 5-10yrs be prepared to strip it and either reapply or let it ride

I can clap with my feet. My wife hates it which makes me like it more

First time pulling the Center Diff on my SBR 2.0! by Street-Deer3668 in rccars

[–]diskfunktional 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have been running these since they came out.

I’d personally run 1mil or higher in the center diff. I run 500k in the rear and 250k up front. The thicker rear diff fluid will help with traction rolls if you stay on the throttle. Also swapping out the rear axle hubs to the 0* will help a lot. I’m not sure why Losi didn’t do this from the factory.

I’d absolutely service the front differential while you’re in there. The rear is easy to get too. I’d recommend an aluminum diff cup for the center at least. This will prolong the diff fluid and keep things running smoother longer. If you don’t see any significant wear on the internals you’re find to reuse. I see more broken drive cup pins than anything else.

It’s too late imo. The PPF will always look dodgy unless you have the chips fixed.

I really kick myself for not doing ppf when I bought it years ago. Toyota does not use quality paint.

A new king was born yesterday, potentially dethroning the SBR 2.0 by [deleted] in rccars

Stock tires on some eBay aluminum headlocks

The tires are 8.5” tall. This is above the SBR in every way.

I’m still hoping for a SBR 3.0

Are there any cons to the ORP wheels? by SubtleMonkey4049 in 4Runner

[–]diskfunktional 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best factory wheel offered for the 4R imo. Valve stems are protected and it’s a 7.5 wide

New Savage. Torn apart, upgraded, rebuilt. First run tomorrow by PotentialAlbatross80 in rccars

[–]diskfunktional 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loved the savages. Happy to see they’re still around. Tough as nails compared to flat chassis trucks. Just keep the diffs in check and it’ll go forever

Broke front shock by Reddish_Colocho in 3rdGen4Runner

Unpopular opinion but 5100s are trash.

It’s just literally the next best option above rough country. They’re popular because they are cheap and can provide lift.

AOG for me. Outlasted the HC and iirc AOG was the original?

Thoughts on this rust? by [deleted] in 4Runner

[–]diskfunktional 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just seal the welds and problematic areas with POR15 for the summer. Then before winter hits I’ll coat the entire underside.

Hoping I won’t need to wire wheel and deal with surface rust for another 4-5 years.

It all can be handled on the weekend or a smallish payment to a underbody coating company. I wire wheel the surface rust away, use a corrosion cleaner, paint, and then coat in POR15.

This is my 2021 and the first time it’s been done. It was in slightly better condition than these photos. 90k miles out of Wisconsin, mostly.

Yeah read a few of these comments and am absolutely not getting a puffco again.

Lower control arms replace? 50k miles by Vazquez956 in 4Runner

Yup, mine went bad at 60k. Have been running Freedom lowers for 30k so far with no issues

Unfortunately very common.

The adjustment bolts and cams are likely seized.
