    I made my own hitch mount spare tire carrier.

    Good luck on that! I've got one of the original "Pre-SSO" carrier and not planning on selling any time soon. For those that are curious, I've done multiple trips both pulling my excursion trailer and not, some with seriously sketchy offroad segments and the carrier is still going strong. The...

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

    I've had my IMS lift on for almost 60K miles now. Honestly, it's how 4Runners should've come from the factory. With the front sway bar removed, I have less body roll than the factory suspension. The nosediving has also been tamed. If you could talk to my dad from my recent trip out to Vegas...

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

    Back at work now, but had a fun, solo 2wk trip out West. Made lots of stops and saw a Formula 1 race in Vegas. Decided it's time to build a drawer system, as there was lots of chaos in the cargo area with all the gear. Went to Caprock Canyons and Palo Duro Canyon in TX; Roswell, Bottomless...

    Gx550

    I won't trade in my 4Runner for one, but I may consider a 550 if something were to happen to it. Honestly though, if I had to replace it, I'd probably go with a new Tacoma Trailhunter.

    Group 24F battery vs. group 35

    I've got a X2Power AGM 24F in mine. I swapped out because I needed more CCA for the winch. This one has 840CCA and dropped in perfectly with no issues. X2 Power 24F AGM

    If you were forced to go buy a non-Toyota/Lexus, what would you buy?

    I would probably go back to a V8 F150 FX4 for a truck or a Mustang Darkhorse for a car.

    Best speculation of a 2023 6th generation I have seen

    I don't remember where I saw it, but it was an R&D vehicle for someone that they were testing on the trail. I thought, "Man, those 35s look nice on the Sequoia." In a later pic, they said they were 37s!

    New 4Runner with Nitto Ridge Grappler tires

    Nittos are good tires and tend to last fairly well, especially on road. I've had Terra, Trail, and Ridge Grapplers, they've all performed well on the vehicles that they were installed. I'm currently at 35K on a set of 285/70 C load Ridge Grapplers and while they have increased some in noise...

    Yeah, something's definitely odd there.

    Will you keep your 4runner if gas hits $8 a gallon?

    And in the time that I lived in California, rural areas had issues so large cities could maintain their power. So, who's experience is more valid, the person that lived in California and experienced issues or the person who lived in California and only experienced some issues? It's not an us...

    Nobody was confusing Texas with California. Both have grid issues, neither are the devil, and neither are perfect.

    Will you keep your 4runner if gas hits $8 a gallon?

    We are the most strictly related industry, with regards to restrictions and recording various details for the EPA (delivered through BSEE). Record keeping is extremely detailed and all forms (company or agency generated) are considered legal documents that can (and are) called into court as...

    Will you keep your 4runner if gas hits $8 a gallon?

    Unlikely. California can't keep its grid up during the summer and winter reliably, so when you add the strain of charging a bunch of cars it will be more unreliable. The only people that believe we'll be rid of ICEs are those that have no understanding of how fragile our grid is in the US...
