What's your secret to 400k+ miles? Any major repairs/replacements?

My primary Toyota dealer here in Houston quoted be $450 per key. Even the Service Advisor was shocked when he told me $1,000 over the phone for two. A local city locksmith did it (providing, cutting, and programming) for $120 per key in my driveway.

I've ran EBC Green stuff and I hated them on the 4Runner. Bite was great but brake dust was horrendous. I cleaned my wheels (stock OEM silver SR5 ones) daily because they'd be noticeably darker/browner than rears. I switched to Hawk HPS and had a lot of great luck (still running them). Not...

Isn't this a PreRunner kind of look? When I drove through the SW, I saw many purposeful-looking front lift biased trucks and 4Runners that looked like they were geared up to hit the dunes.

Not sure of the part. I'd probably just consider getting a TRD rear valence and calling it good.

I also swapped to the KO3s from KO2s a few months ago and love them (still in 265/70/17). I didn't have any issues with my KO2s from a grip standpoint but these KO3s have been stellar in heavy rain. My KO2s still looked great but had over 70k miles on them and were starting to get loud. I...

265/70/17 E KO3s are installed. Moved the best KO2 to my spare which looks super meaty underneath. I'll get a picture here soon. So far so good! Much quieter than my outgoing tires. Time will tell how they hold up noise wise but, if like my KO2s, they should be good for 50k miles. Looks wise...

I found two right-size bolts with nuts and washers on the backend to make sure it didn't overly wear the plastic dash panel. This has held up great and the position is perfect. At the finger tips, easy to grab, power cord stays out of the way.

Wearing was good with me but noise was getting harsh. I don't fully blame the tires though as I have 285/75s KO2s on my JKUR and they aren't as loud. The 4Runner just isn't as well insulated I think. That all being said, I just placed an order for 265/70 BFG KO3s and will be getting them...

I have many suspicions but would love to hear your why.

I'm about to replace my 265/70 KO2s. They have 60k miles on them, still look new with plenty of tread but boy are they getting loud now. I loved them new and they've treated us well in every aspect, including water. I'll probably replace them with the KO3s.

I like the new one (if I was in the market for something new) but honestly, I haven't seen anything that'd make me swap from a 5th gen. Honestly, I think Toyota set the brand's new styling bar with the 2014 4Runner and the design still looks fresh. Exterior wise, the new 6th gen looks good too...

Hell yeah brother

This is mostly as I expected, for better or worse, and I don't think anyone is honestly surprised by anything we're seeing here. It looks cool but I'm a little bummed the TrailHunter looks so over-the-top flashy. I'm really hoping the TRD Off-Road is somewhere between the Limited and the...

This is what I'm thinking too: the front seats are pushed ALL the way back. The back door may be smaller but I think the fender flare, part of the door, is throwing off the visual dimensioning. As with most new vehicles, it always takes a second to get past the shock and awe. I bet it will...
