    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    This is relevant to my interests... Any more info here? Was it plug-n-play or did you need to splice? And can you link where to get that part? Thanks!

    **How To Change 5th Gen Factory Wiper Blade Inserts - Pictorial

    Two years later Toyota does seem to have the inserts available individually. I had to pick up some parts and needed to fill the cart for free shipping and stocked up on inserts recently. Still getting at least a couple of years out of them which is pretty impressive.

    FS 5th Gen. Full Length Roof Racks by drabbits

    Just going off the post 5 before yours... It looks like 2016, March.

    Did you reassemble the seats with new hog clips or did you go another route? I've had a set of heaters I've been procrastinating on installing for years because I dread the hamburger hands that will result from the eleventybillion hog rings.

    FS 5th Gen. Full Length Roof Racks by drabbits

    :suspicious: Uhhh.... I don't think anyone is buying these anymore. Mainly due to them not being sold.

    It's some bullshit dealer add-on "security system" garbage. Basically inventory protection while it's on their lot. I've got the same thing and it pisses me off every time I see it because I just *KNOW* their little lot monkeys did a hack job wire-tapping it into place. Once you buy the truck...

    FS 5th Gen. Full Length Roof Racks by drabbits

    I think another distinct differences is that the Camelback/Drabbits has a slight bend in it, right above the front doors so that the whole rack more closely follows the contour of the roof. I don't remember the Gobi doing that, so that when you look at it from the side, the rear of the rack is...

    FS 5th Gen. Full Length Roof Racks by drabbits

    Is there any breakdown of what type of rack individuals ordered? i.e. maybe the "off the shelf" styles are quicker/easier to make and ship vs. ones that need custom work? Even something seemingly as simple as adding additional mesh to one area of the rack could be considerable if he's already...

    <checks locations> Yeah, none of you folks are in the desert states... The Raptor would be an absolute hoot out in the open sand of Arizona or New Mexico. You'd still get trail striping from the Mesquite trees, but there's no squeal at 50+ mph. But lets be honest... Those truck get hard...

    Raptor is a giant. But seeing those parked next to each other like that, you can really tell who isn't compensating... :D (that said, I really like the Raptor too)

    Going Bigger - 5th Gen Tire Fitment Guide

    Anybody know if Cooper Discoverer A/T3 in 265/70R17 will fit with no problem? Anyone? Oh, the chart? On the first page? And the row that's marked "265/70/17"... Yeah, it's green. So it should be good? or nah? :deadhorse: So it's all gravy. Thanks 1engineer for compiling the information...

    New rubber after 37,829 miles: Cooper Discoverer A/T3 in OEM size 265/70R17. Ready to take on the parking stops at the mall once again!

    Blurple's 2012 Magnetic Gray Metallic 4Runner Trail Thread

    After 37,829 miles, the old OEM Dunlop rubber had just about given up all its worth (some could argue that really happened about 37,829 miles ago, actually) and it was time to go our separate ways. Picked up some new rubber from Discount Tire Direct; ordered on a Friday evening and had them on...

    Question about Hidden Keys

    I'd second the hitch safe as well. I've got one and it does the job just fine. Removing it is pretty quick and easy, just unlock the safe tray, remove it, and then reach in to slip out the two spring clips that hold in the mounting pins. Once those come out the whole thing is removable. Takes...
