  Why the hell am I watching this for a second time when I don't own a Toyota 4x4?!?

  Getting an engineers perspective on these types of upgrades is rare in the Youtube world. Keep up the good work and hope to see many more videos from you!

  I been saying this forever.  We LOVE our KDSS.  It's basically zero sway bar off road and an amazingly thick swaybar on road.  Car on road, truck off road.  KDSS is a gamechanger...love it!!  The refinements of the GX and LX are no joke or gimmick...

  Man your content is incredible.  Easily the most knowledge-dense videos on the subject.  I frequently have to pause and even rewind just to digest what you said, even though your presentation is clear and thorough.  I love it.  Thank you so much for not only explaining but SHOWING and often PROVING your points.  Thanks for making these!

  I find it odd that Toyota didn’t make it standard on the 4Runner TRD Pro, because it’s really an unbelievably good system.

  As an owner of a KDSS vehicle this was by far the best explanation and comparison I've heard of how the system works and how it compares to non-KDSS vehicles. Nice job!

  Most underrated Toyota channel HANDS DOWN.  I wish I saw this before I made my purchase 4 years ago. I remember dealing with a buddies KDSS and being very curious about the system.

  When watching shade tree mechanics install lifts on kdss equipped vehicles many of them don’t know to loosen both valves under the drivers door side of frame and mark original setting with a wax pencil. It allows the swaybars to move around more freely. After lift is installed lower wheels back on ground, turn valves back to original setting. Also KDSS vehicles will develop what’s called “Kdss Lean” over a lot of miles. This is also fixable by practicing the same principles of loosening the valves, and measuring the lean and putting the same height wood block under the one wheel once you lower the vehicle back down, then just tighten the valves and your back level.

  Yep, love the KDSS… had a chance to compare the ride dynamics in technical off-roading between my 2015 TRD Pro 4R and my brothers 2016 Trail/Off-road 4R with KDSS… definitely noticeable. It really works well. This is a terrific and thorough video with valuable data points. Really great work here. Thanks for the many hours of testing and video production.

  I chose the OF instead of PRO solely because I wanted KDSS, glad I did. Very nice vid by the way!
