Cannot compare to anything, but my AT3 4s, stock size, are great for the road and heavy rain. Love them, wish I would have gotten them right when I bought my 4r instead of waiting for the stock ones to get wore out.

It is a great color. I only wanted that color, and back when I got mine, it was a bit hard to get in combination with the other options, saw it advertised while I was on a business trip, bought it before it even got to the dealer, traded my car in and drove the new 4runner home.

I put 18% on and cannot see in it really at all. Works just fine to see out of, at least for me, even my rear dash cam is pretty clear even at night.

This is not the 90's where the factory was lagging and the aftermarket could easily squeeze a few mpg and HP with bolt on's, depending on your car of course. Now days they have squeezed every little thing out of the engines that is practical regarding cost.

Unless you are doing some extreme driving, there is no reason to replace any of that. 130k is not a lot at all. Why you expect the water pump or radiator to go bad? Why you replace your idler pulleys?

Well, OP did not think too highly of the Jeep before... Seems the engine noise is a simply solved squeal, lol https://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/294894-whats-acting-different-when-drive.html#post3604411

Mine lasted a few months short of six years, but needed replaced probably a few or several months before that. I ran it to the end, it would not even crank over in the dealer parking lot when I picked up my new battery, lol, so changed it right there. I say it should have been changed several...

Not straight from a truck, but drove trucks for most of my driving life, came from an F-350. No regrets at all, at first I thought the lack of having a bed and the general "toughness" a truck has would be an issue, but it is not at all, and I use my 4runner, meaning I will load what the heck...

Well, to be fair, many people run out of gas as well. Also, they have battery based chargers, no need for the generator, one of your pics even has one, the last pic.

I cannot recall ever reading that someone on this forum said a 4runner should be left stock.

Thank you for the info. Looking at getting one soon, was curious about the time to get it delivered, not that 10-12 weeks would deter me.

I have a friend that partially submerged a Dodge truck in water, talking engine and driver side interior. He sprayed the hell out of everything with WD-40, smelled like, well, you know, lol, but seems everything so far is fine.

How long the wait on the bumper?

What is it used for? I am thinking extra juice when camping? Potentially using accessories like a winch and lights? I like the idea, leave at home when not using it, take it with me when camping or something.

I use to live in Arlington, but wife worked in Georgetown, there is no way I would park on the street like that. One of my wife's coworkers even had his car slammed into because the two lane turns into one at certain times, the other then turns into parking, someone was not paying attention and...
