    I didn't see anything about KDSS, or E-KDSS. Maybe the sway bar disconnect is the only option. In hindsight, I would probably take that over KDSS.

    And, I could definitely see myself in one of the new Land cruisers, if the stars aligned in a year or two.

    I wouldn't know anything about a Tacos acceleration stats from 60-110. :anonymous:

    That would be dangerous too

    Yes. In all the conditions that I have driven so far it has been better than stock. It's not perfect, but definitely a worthwhile mod.

    So, I had this set of jumper cables laying around that I had cut in half years ago to make a cable for my semi. One half is still in the original box, the other half has been laying on the shelf, taking up space. A quick Amazon purchase and a couple of crimps and voila!

    Plugs into the Kickass for jump-starting (that I'll never need...). I have another plug and half of a 20' jumper cable set to make another set.

    Anderson plugs rock. Those are what i wired up the winch connections with. I had to buy wire though... to make it usable out back and up front. That cost as much as the winch...

    I can't go over 99 mph anymore because that's all my 4Runner tires are rated for. :D

    I remember burying the speedometer (130 MPH) on my '85 Supra on a 50 mph highway. I was definitely a little more reckless in my twenties, lol!

    I still never topped out the TC. Maybe I'll do that after I get it fixed. I think it's supposed to be able to hit ~135. Not bad for a little 4-banger.

    2 X3s for sale. Funny, it's an off road racer selling them. I saw the name and I was like, "The racer?!" Lol.
