    Doubling up the OEM skid plates for more robust skid plate on a budget?

    Just remove it and beat it back into shape with a hammer. Re-install and you are good to go for more wheeling.

    Coolant low, no leak?

    Yeah my 2020 also consumes a small amount of coolant over some thousands of miles. I can even smell it in the engine bay after driving for several hours. I think it comes out of the vent hole in the overflow tank cap because I can see a little pink crust there.

    5th gen skid plates in 2025

    I have the TRD skid and like it. Toyota has parts sales occasionally with free shipping, and you can search for the dealer with the best pricing. I picked up mine for $254 shipped a couple of Novembers ago.

    Lifting the rear end 1" suggestions?

    I'm running the Eibach E30-82-071-01-02 and it lifts exactly 1-inch over the stock spring. Rides great.

    Rear Coil/Spring Recommendations For Smoother Ride

    I also have the Eibach 1" springs (E30-82-071-01-02) and like them a lot. Previously I had Dobinsons C59-599 1.5" springs but pulled them because the lift was too high, more like 2". The Dobs weren't harsh, but when I switched I noticed the ride of my usually unloaded 4Runner was just a bit...

    OME 10mm rear spacer.

    I'm not sure about the difference, but I ordered and installed the part number 150PR10. It fits well enough but I did not get the expected 10mm change in height on the drivers side. Not sure about the mechanics of that but others have reported the same thing. Maybe you need to adjust the...

    The Wiper Blades

    I used to drive Hondas and I swear their OEM blades were the best. They lasted for years. I would try aftermarket blades but any ones I tried started deteriorating after just a couple of years. So I ended up always buying the OEM ones. My 4Runner's only a couple years old now, but the Toyota...

    Question about gear mounted on roof and wind noise.

    I don't have them but I'm pretty sure the extrusion rails are solid with no through holes. I think the advantage of these kind of cross-bars is just that they are a lower-cost non-corrosive alternative to stainless steel bars from LFD. The disadvantage is that no one seems to offer a wind...

    How often do you change YOUR oil??

    Same here. I figure split the difference between the 10k "normal" use spec, and the 5k "severe" spec.
