Thank you, this helps. Hoping to find one with all the bits and pieces still on it… or I’ll go this route.

My 2014 limited got smashed on the rear lift gate - dead center. Ruined the window motor, and now the latch/lock doesnÂ’t workÂ… swings open when I drive over bumps. I need to find a used hatch/gate with camera in the Boston area - I donÂ’t even care what color at this point. I just canÂ’t pay...

ToyTec Boss Ultimate Lift Finally, finally got a lift on my (now 2nd) T4R. Everything I hoped it would be, what a difference! ToyTec BOSS Ultimate w/Total Chaos UCAs, SpiderTrax 1.25" Spacers. Steering was at factory spec/alignment on 2nd try. Really nice ride, better than than the OEM...

Yes, stock suspension. Only the slightest rub at full lock over a speed bump (you have to work for it), and it's so slight if the music is up you won't hear it. Truthfully I thought the rub might be pretty bad, was expecting to mess with the wheel liners, etc. But I'm not doing anything, it's...

2014 Limited 2nd T4R, love 'em! Just put 275/55/20 Wrangler Duratracs on, very happy with them!

Thx, cbielat!

Looking for a credible, high-quality, proven installer in the North Boston, Southern NH area. I have a 2014 Limited with XREAS. Ordered a ToyTec BOSS lift with Chaos UCAs, a GOBI full rack and ladder, and new wheels and tires. Looking for a shop to install it all - pull XREAS cleanly, no creaks...

Thanks Rigtec, definitely appreciate the alternate perspective. My enthusiasm is focused on getting all the potential out of the 4Runner that I can. But finding the right course of action has definitely slowed me down. I had it all figured out for my '04, until a friend wisely convinced me that...

Your truck is perfect, just what I'm looking for - the right height without going overboard. I'll have this truck, like my last one, for 10 years. Can't go too crazy with offroad mods yet, though i would like to, but with enough clearance i'll be able to go wheeling without really worrying. Just...

okay with losing XREAS I won't mind losing XREAS as long as everyone else has had a positive experience. i didn't purchase the new 4Runner because it had XREAS, it simply was on the vehicle when i picked it out. is it difficult for a shop to remove and will it cause issues down the road, or...

I'd planned to use the ToyTec kit, which i had originally identified for my 2004 4Runner which i ended up selling, but it seems the ToyTec ultimate lift kit doesn't play well on 2014 w/XREAS. I've been scouring this site for months and can't find a successful build on a Limited w/XREAS. Can...

Thanks everyone... i'd only seen an email alert for the first reply and thought it was a dead thread. My apologies for not jumping back in sooner!! I assumed that my mechanic had run a fuse check, but with everyone's input pointing toward the same result... i think i need to recheck it. Assuming...

My 04 V6 Limited with 53000 miles on it recently lost all "convenience" lighting... ALL interior lights (driver and passenger reading lights), midcar dome light, and rear cargo light, the running boards don't light up, and the clock resets to 1 o'clock every time i start it up. when it happened...
