This short article will focus on Toyota’s best off-road vehicle - the Toyota 4Runner. We’ll also discuss why we think you’ll need to upgrade your 4Runner with a set of bumpstops for off-roading if you’re planning to navigate some rough, off-road terrain.
Discover why we think you’ll need to consider installing a set of Active Off Road Bumpstops for the front and rear suspensions: ABSTOF for front and ABSTORSEQ for rear.
Why is the Toyota 4Runner the best off-road vehicle?
The Toyota 4Runner is popular for three reasons:
- The Toyota 4Runner blends the comfort and agility of an SUV.
- It also delivers the utility and towing capacity of a full-size truck.
- Not only that, its off-road features make it popular with overlanding enthusiasts.
If you want the biggest bang for your off-road buck, you need to consider Toyota’s 4Runner model TRD Off-Road Premium. There are several standard features that make it a great choice:
- Lever-type 4WD Selector
- 4-Wheel Crawl Control
- Multi-Terrain Monitor
- Locking Rear Differential
- 17” Aluminum Alloy Wheels
- 31.5” All-Terrain Tires
- Multi-Terrain ABS
- LED Fog Lights
- 4.0 liter V-6 Engine
- Towing Capacity = 5,000 lbs.
- Rear-Wheel Drive
But off-roading and overland camping present some challenges. Today, we’re going to talk about how to solve problems with rough terrain using Active Off-road Bumpstops.
Should you upgrade your 4Runner bumpstops for offroading?
If you are ready for some extreme off-roading, you’re going to need a set of off-road bump stops. Off-road bumpstops soften the blow every time your 4Runner bottoms out. Needless to say, this will reduce the stress on your suspension and on the driver.
Active Off-Road Bumpstops solve the problem of the harsh jounce when the suspension of your 4Runner bottoms out. For best results, we suggest a set of Active Off-Road Bumpstops for both the front and the rear:
