Why are there two 4Runner forums?
Why does 4runners.com exist? Are people on both?
Are they owned by the same people?
Which one should I be on?

Different owners. Multiple forums exist for most models.

I'm on both as well as i8mud and yotatech
Each of these sites has it's value and a slightly different user-base.
In general I come here first.

There are two forums (actually there are several) so you can post this question in both of them today as you just did.

Different forums on the same general topic is quite common, Mazda, Acura Radar Detector forums are all in multiples.
I usually prefer to just pick one, but sometimes forums begin to degrade over time in content, speed, spam, members.... So people look elsewhere.
I prefer this forum, but I am sure many are also on the other forum too. And with how slow and buggy this forum is becoming we may have no other choice to go to another forum.
Or we may decide as a community to make a new one of, by, and for the people. Then there will be 3.

Both are great resources. I feel like the other has had more activity as of late

This one is great for 300 repetitive posts about which leveling kits, 285 tires, and "builds", and people that should have bought a highlander.
The 3rd gen people were/are good here, maybe as the 5th gen gets older the signal to noise ratio will change.

Well, joined the other 4Runner forum and the first discussion I found was 1'000mi and 2'000mi oil change thread.
Now I am questioning why I did it.

Thanks for the belly laugh.
Tomorrow I get the wonderful experience of troubleshooting the push button auto track NV 246 transfer case in my Suburban K2500 with my wife’s no issue 320K mile 4Runner sitting right next to it. Transfer case is brand new reman and I can only get 4Hi with the light still flashing at the button. Actuator was new just two weeks ago and verified working before installed, now it is stuck in 4WD. New encoder motor. New Transfer Case Control Module. The Toyota never throws any of this pain at me.

Anyone can turn a wrench, It's the arm chair experts you need to stay away from.... They are every where. Usually, yelling the loudest.

I guess it's testimony to the reliability of the 4Runner, or the fact that there is not enough age on the platform, or some combination thereof. My chevy Suburban has 236K miles on it and seems like I've always got something to work on. Not so with the Toyota.

Similar, had an 85 Jimmy S15 that went 285K but at about 80K there was always some thing needed done. Now on my 5th T4R and that has not been the case. The one I lifted did have the CV problem that is mentioned in the car care nut video in this thread, but that is it. Transfer case did die on one but that was at 265k with lots of that in deep soft sand on the beaches of the NC Outer Banks, so lots of stress there.
