I will say this. X4 innovations rock sliders are by far the most beefy sliders. They are WAY over engineered and after 30 bolts they are NEVER going anywhere.
Update:
Lots of trail riding and mapping forest roads. To hot to camp, however, planning a trip in late July to the mountains. My dad pulled the trigger on a 2018 JLU Sport S manual No other options.
I tried to get him to get the anti spin but he didnt want it "dont need it if you know how to...
This is true for ALL overland builds no matter the platform.
I get 18 if i drive like there is no more gas left in the world. I get 17 if i drive like i want.
Difference is the 4runner offers the undeniable reliability that few offer. This gap is closing but for me the biggest driver.
275...
Yeah, I was stationed for a year there. Its a very nice place. I loved it except for the quirky laws and regs.
Also gun laws.
Other than that it was a very cool place.
Update: well the wind fairing worked very well but it was still lacking. There was a 2 inch on either side still open to allow air in. So i filled the gap.
12x12 plexi glass
Gorilla 2 side tape
Tough trim guard
Plasti dip
The end product looks pretty good and now it sounds like the day i got...
Jelly of the lift. I am going to stay 275 or go to a 255 85 to prevent trimming. I have no wish for "big nasties" rolling on a 3+ inch lift.
2.5 - 3 is all i am going. I might plasti dip wheels... to get the full black on white.
I know right MPG?!?! its a losing battle. However, i drive a pretty long way 50 miles commuting so it helps. Also i installed the frontrunner wind fairing and i must say its a big dif.
Envious of your lift.... also of the gobi setup its very nice looking.
Update: continued to map local sumter national forest roads.
I purchased a wind fairing and it b.c. worked great. MUCH better noise reduction and gained back most of the MPGs i lost. I was experiencing what could only be explained as a wind anchor holding me back. Very nice. Looks way better...
