Thanks for that! I first tried alcohol on the windshield, did nothing. Then W40, dissolved it right off. Then used a strong solution of Dawn and water. Also used that on the headlight covers and silver plastic trim at the bottom. It got too hot so I'll do the paint after washing it again. An...

Arizona DOT was spraying asphalt during a windstorm 20 miles east of Flagstaff yesterday. They must have deposited asphalt on thousands of cars, including my 4Runner. It hindered my ability to see through the windshield. Any recommendations for a product to remove it without damaging the paint...

Can somebody tell me what the small dash opening to the left of the usb port is intended for on a 2018 t4r? It seems really worthless given its shape. Just trying to figure out the best mount for a ham radio control head, will probably have to go with a cup mount.

Maybe the VIN is the encryption key. But I would think that for one that works in your car you could duplicate it and be able to use it in the same car if the first fails.

Installed Diamond K412 mount for my dual-band ham radio antenna. Anyone know why this site usually rotates your pics?

Why change a tire? I can't understand why everyone doesn't just carry one of those cheap 12 volt air pumps. Unless you break the bead or destroy the tire its so much easier to pump up a flat than change the tire. I've always been able to get to a tire repair shop even if I can hear hissing. Of...

Duplicate it? Aren't these standard format SD cards that can be duplicated on a PC in case the one you are using fails?

Sideways This is the only place my pics end up sideways. What gives? Perhaps a server software update is needed?

South of Taos NM Took my 6 day old 2018 Magnetic Gray up a jeep road south of Taos NM. Got pinstriping from branches, I'm thinking this color is bad for that? But I figure any 4Runner without pinstriping has never left the pavement Lol Not sure why the first pic is sideways, but this is the...

Took it up a jeep road south of Taos yesterday, it's awesome going up a rocky boulder strewn mountain stream bed! Magnetic Gray is showing pinstriping though. I told my wife "That will buff out". I hope.

Got mine! Purchased today, 2018s are starting to get rare here in NM. Think they still have a bunch in Colorado. Magnetic Grey 2018 Off Road Premium with just about every option including KDSS, Moonroof, Sliding rear cargo deck, all weather floor liners, cargo mat, cargo tote, Roof rack cross...

However don't sales taxes come into the equation? New Mexico has a 3% sales tax on new cars. Is that the tax I would pay if buying in an adjacent state and registering it in NM? I know the tax in Phoenix is 8.6% That 5.6% difference is around $2k Phoenix vs NM

I'm probably going to buy a 2018 TRD Offroad Premium tomorrow. I've been looking at the amount below msrp people have been paying since August, which seems to be between $4500 and $5000. I've printed out the entries from this forum, and will try to use those for bargaining. However, in podunk...

They made me an offer... Would you say this is an acceptable deal for a TRD Offroad? Offer through Consumer Reports/TrueCar. Location Albuquerque. OFF ROAD PACKAGE KINETIC DYNAMIC SUSPENSION SYSTEM (KDSS) ALLOY WHEEL LOCKS ROOF RACK CROSS BARS Locking/Limited Slip...
