I have a 2014 Ltd (stock) with only the original siderails. We want to put an 8' kayak up there with ratchet straps alone if this sounds doable. Can we support a kayak upside down with ratchet straps in place of crossbars? We're planning on tying down the bow and stern as well as belly straps...

Hooray! Thanks for the input! Any others, feel free to add thoughts. These aren't cheap, but neither is getting all new wheels and tires :wow:. I will really try to save up for them. I only found one thing odd about the website with the specs. I found the size required, but when I clicked the...

I realize there is much discussion in this forum regarding the limited 20" stock rims, which I have. I've read countless conversations on what size tires folks are putting on the 7" wide wheels, but I'm still concerned and have questions. How is it that (most) everyone is ok with running a risk...

Dang, I'm in Asheville and have been griping over having to buy new tires for my '14 limited. I like the 20" stock look (from the side) but for some reason Toyota decided to put 7" width to these stock wheels. I can't find a safe way to put A/T tires on without taking a risk using a tire meant...

Old thread resurfacing Hey y'all. I ended up trading in the 3rd gen and got a '08 Highlander Ltd back in December 2012. It was a sad day, and I still wish that I'd had the funds to get a new trans put in the '02 4R at the time. It was such a lovely body style. I pretty much vow to get another...

I've had 2002 and 2001 4Runners in the past. The 2001 was the last one I owned up until 2012 when I traded it in after a nasty issue. All the trouble started when the seal went bad between the antifreeze and the transmission coolant in the radiator. Fluids mixed together (pink milkshake in...

I see the "hips" you speak of. My boyfriend hates the increase in size they've given the 4Rs. It's almost like they've tried to make the new Highlander the size of the earlier generation 4Rs. I've been waiting for a new body style to come out that looks classic like ours but they really seem to...

OK I've added a photo! (see above) If additional photos are needed of the underside or engine, etc. let me know and I'll take more pictures. Runnyrunnerton: What you've said here makes me feel better about hanging onto 'er. Thank you for your input. My plan originally was to try and get 500K...

I have an '02 4Runner that I've had since 2006 (just paid it off too). It has 164K miles on it and I am in need of some advice about the transmission. Back in April I had the infamous "pink milkshake" in the trans fluid from the seal in the radiator for the trans cooler going bad. I didn't...
