    Just bought a new 4runner and.......

    That was most likely a bot pawning off some ambulance chaser lawyers from the way it reads.

    tire choice for long highway and extreme offroad

    Kinda weird, i run less pressure than your "aired down" ON THE HIGHWAY... Have you considered the General Grabber X3, i have a friend with them and they are not nearly as loud as the KM3 and Toyo M/T. I run General ATX all terrains and have for many hundreds of thousands of miles, i have owned...

    Portal Axles

    This is correct for SEALED units, the oil, as it gets hot, offgasses which builds pressure inside the unit which then blows the seals out and they piss oil everywhere. If you are going to be riding on the roads you MUST vent them, drill and tap a hole at the top of the portal and put a small...

    '24 Limited Headlight Beam Coverage

    my new 4R with the LED headlights were adjusted a bit low to begin with, i turned them up a few rounds. I have a long stretch of road across a lake dam at the house, i typically park on one end and adjust the headlights where i can see the cut-off about 150-200ft out. Once i get the cut-off...

    Tire Pressure for New Rubber?

    I find a gravel road or a sandy parking lot or something like that. Drive slow so the tires pick up dust and dirt then find a smooth straight stretch of road to drive about 1/2 mile and stop. The dirt/dust/gravel dust will be wiped off the tire where the tire makes contact with the road. You...

    Tires for TRD Pro, brand questions

    Although this is just an opinion, it seems i am the only one on this forum that ever mentions the General AT/X tires. They are absolutely wonderful, i have had 7 sets on different vehicles, i am almost to 500,000 combined miles on all the sets (typically sell vehicle before tires worn out) and...

    Automatic Running Boards Issue

    We always ALWAYS fold ours out every time we wash our vehicle, even at a car wash, open the door, boards fold down, close the door and put your foot on the board to give resistance. This stops the board from retracting, so you can pressure wash the board and hinges off. Then after they are dry...

    Looking for trim and model year suggestions

    The 3rd row is optional on the Limited, you see some that have it and some that dont. The 3rd row folds flat into the floor, so if you have it, and you dont need it, when the seats are down nothing changes. You still run the exact same rear floor mat from a non 3rd row to one with 3rd row. When...

    Best suspension for on road / pavement princess Limited?

    So, from someone who has had 3 4runners with Xreas, and others without, i can tell you my opinion for what its worth. LEAVE IT ALONE. Honestly the Xreas rides good, you might not realize it now until you start swapping stuff, the Xreas actually rides really nice for what it is. The on road...

    Smaller size spare tire

    Yes, it is common to see a vehicle with a different sized spare than the running tires, but these are typically front wheel drive cars with an open differential. If you have a flat on the rear of a straight axle vehicle and your spare is a different size you would want to put your spare on the...

    Looking for trim and model year suggestions

    TRD Offroad TRD Offroad Premium TRD Pro You are going to want the TRD Offroad Premium, or TRD Pro, the remote start is not on every one, its kinda weird how they put it on some and not others so you may luck out and you may have to buy a $300 box to install under the dash to get it working. The...
