Curious how this went. We’re got able to get enough power from the OEM AUX switch to trigger the locker?

Hell yeah dude. Yeah I should probs inlay em huh? Being out here in AZ I’m sure they’re gonna get the fuck scratched out of them anyway.

1000 miles on portals - here's the truth so far: The stance is unreal. With +45 mm offset wheels, they sit pertectly—no awkward poke like some long-travel kits. The power hit surprised me. 2300 rpm at 90 mph and the truck pulls harder than stock. Didn't expect that. MPG dropped a bit (~14→12)...

Not really a wannabe pre-runner guy, and I don’t want a rear bumper swing out… Has anyone seen any spare tire + jack setups for the 4th gen bed yet? I’d like to keep it flat against the bed to keep the rear view clear. Can ask around for someone to custom fab, but curious what y'all are doing...

Come check out a bunch of awesome trucks if you’re in AZ! Oct 25 6-8pm 465 S Dobson Mesa, AZ Chinoz Grill Asian Fusion Will be cooking up some tasty dinner!

Bunch more posts to come of the recent changes to the truck, but thought I’d post an initial on these new wheels I’m running from Method X 74Weld. Needed something with very high offset to pair well with 74weld portals that would support going very low PSI. Decided to go with the Dakar inspired...

Bummer. “The rear brake hoses in the subject vehicles can be damaged over time if there is enough build-up of mud and dirt inside the rear wheels from operating under certain off-road conditions. This can result in a brake fluid leak, increasing the risk of crash.”...

I had the same experience, once the suspension settled. The Westcott kit will not fix this. You are right in that a collar preload kit like the one Westcott offers will put more load on the spring, which is how the lift is achieved. Where exactly are you rubbing? For my Toyo AT3 35x12.5x18 I...

Will do. My rear kings should be in this week and need to make a decision. Got a few messages out now, I’ll update the thread when I find out.

What an epic journey. Drove from Phoenix AZ beginning on Thursday for a Saturday afternoon install at the Manhattan, MT location. Around 35 hours, 2300 miles. Drove through some light snow and lots of ice over Big Sky Friday and raced back home to beat the snow coming down in Flagstaff AZ Monday...

Anyone else seeing the shock bushings failing already? Happened on both my fronts, barely at 8K miles and only mild slow/speed forest road and easy trails in Arizona. Ended upgrading to Kings 2.5” adjustable front and rear. Will see if Toyota will warranty when they’re off the truck, they’re...

Did you ever end up upgrading the rear springs? I just got a GFC installed this weekend and am definitely gonna sag once I’m loaded up. I had only medium amount of gear for this trip and was pretty level. As soon as I add water, cooking gear, fridge etc it’s gonna sag.

Here’s the same angle after 5500 miles. Noticeable drop in the front.

Hey folks, Bob out here in Gilbert Arizona with one of the first Trailhunters in the area. This Friday I'll be going in to get one of the first production Westcott Designs PreloadCollar Lift Kits for the Trailhunter. As many of you know the website does not list the collar kit for the...
