    temp jump, then lowers

    '06 4.0 Hopped in the truck today and started driving...got up to operating temperature and still had no heat. I noticed the temp gauge was jumping up higher and higher. I turned the heat off completely, and the temp dropped back down. As I drive the temp stays around normal, but then climbs...

    LED headlight replacement bulbs

    I recently replaced low beams with H11’s I found linked on here, from Amazon. Wow, amazing difference and complete plug and play.

    2005 Sport v8: Spare tire dilemma (vs larger 33" mud tires)

    Another option would be to keep a matching spare, semi deflated, and have onboard air. At least this way you have the correct size. Also, consider that these M/T’s are usually Kevlar or 10 ply. The chances of you popping one, or getting a flat, are slim.

    License Plate Lighting Questions

    I actually had to tap mine out because the years were so rusted. A 5 min job turned into over an hour. But, they’re replaced and all good now. LED’s do a great job. Did you guys do your reverse? So bright backing up after swapping those out.

    What did you do with your 4runner today?

    Replaced the drivers headlamp today. Passenger was replaced over a year ago, and it’s been bugging me having one foggy/yellow headlight. Ordered a TYC from RockAuto. As addressed, first 3 screws were a breeze, and that 4th is a b!tch. Ended up removing the screws and pulling the fender liner...

    BFG KO2’s

    All of this!!! I am getting new tires mounted Tuesday. I was back and forth between tires. I am coming off 40k on my bfg mt’s. Mud/off-road amazing tire, any sort of rain/cold they’re complete trash and lose grip immediately. Manager at Mavis (tire place) told me he won’t install/recommend...

    3rd row seats

    Same here. 4 years ago I was looking for third row. I did a 100 mile search and found 2. First was gone before I could get down there, and second I was able to scoop up. I have small kids and I love the third row for them, or even just short trips with an adult back there (just gotta kinda...

    Factory Bluetooth Stereo Hack

    Been a week and I cannot say enough good things about this device. No dropped music or calls, connects quickly as soon as I get in, and sounds great. I opted for this, as opposed to the newer version as this got better reviews and is cheaper. I’m actually only aggravated about one thing...I...

    Factory Bluetooth Stereo Hack

    Love mine! The only time I hear any sorta white noise is when nothing is playing. Other than that it’s crystal clear and sounds great. Waze and phone calls sound great, too. I googled the best unused frequency to in my area.

    Next-Generation Toyota 4Runner we can expect in 2021

    I doubt Toyota will ever use a V8, or a standard transmission. As much as enthusiasts would live that, they’re selling to the masses. They’ll likely use the underwhelmed 3.5, which is just sad. Toyota love reliability and using things they can trust to last. That’s what the company is built...

    Southeastern PA-tire fitment

    Random question, but I’ve seen back and forth, over and over. Do 275-70-17’ AT’s fit a 4th gen without a BL? I have a cornfed 3/2 on fj wheels and 255/80/17 BFG MT’s that are pretty much slicks. Only have had slight rubbing in reverse at full lock. I’m trying to decide next tire setup...

    What did you drive before your 4Runner

    ‘92 Jeep ZJ Orvis edition. The tech in it was pretty awesome for an old girl. Ex wife had an ‘06 liberty KJ, couldn’t stand it. “Trail Rated” my ass. Have also had an ‘01 Jeep XJ. For the guy saying money pit, must’ve been a lemon. Those things were damn near bulletproof. To this day, wish...
