Spare doggy?

With the new house, we plan on saving/adopting an older pup so Bronx has company at home.

Really low energy type dog since he's 9 years old with back issues.

Beautiful pups!

 

Morning

 

appreciate it, but I was just test fitting for my own set coming up! I have a discount tire down the street and wanted to see how bad the tires would rub omw home to finish fitment. Seems that back pinch area needs some good massaging.

How back could I comfortably push that area with a sledge before risking cracking? Just enough to match the contour?

I'm stock rn, but have a lift laying around for it. Alignment will come at that time

Going to call and ask some questions about this rad. It’s not in production yet though.

That seamed portion doesn't really smash back, that's the part people cut out typically for clearing 35s. You could hit it but if I was a betting man I'd say it would probably crack at the seam and separate the floor from the wall

 

Why not go with the Koyo Aluminum for 4Runners?

 

Why I asked, thank you. Looks like I might step down to 30x9.50 till next set. That wasn't even at bump, just ride height :/

 

I think our hoods smash the fill area

 

You can't just lower the mounting?

 

Aren't you then left with the issue of it hitting the skid plate. I couldn't lower one much before it was just more vulnerable and the fan shroud wouldn't match up.

 

I can see the appeal of a drop-in then from Cold Case.

 

I had the new Tacoma version of the Koyo. It cracked. Not willing to try the 4Runner one because it’s cracking for people as well.

 

Leaning towards these if I have to drop to 30x9.50

 

What lift are you going to do on your front end? I had just the fabtech springs and uppers with 4x4 fenders and was able to run 31 inch bfg kos with only rub at full lock. When I added the lift spindles nothing rubbed. The Downey kit made it even better.

 

i have v6 coils and the daystar spacer for 1.75- 2 inches in the front. No spindles sadly

 

Oh good Windows 11 was announced, I'm sure that won't make my job annoying at all.

 

They will make a huge difference. I'd jump on these. There's not a lot of them left out there.

MS had planned on just continuing regular updates for Win10. When the 11 build leaked I was surprised.
