    5th Gen 4Runner vs GX470

    I feel like your thought process has come full circle—why are you selling the ‘10? I get the new (different) car itch, as I bought my ‘14 premium new i do plan on a newer GX down the line. But will the now 460 of the same vintage (10-13) do more than your ‘10? Full time 4WD, V8, sideways door...

    5th Gen 4Runner vs GX470

    Stop with the timing belt already—90,000 /6500=a preventative maintenance every 8-13 YEARS! I debated 5th gen and the GX, and the weird door was the decider. Picked up a new ‘14 T4R, and it’s been great! I didn’t care for the power, knowing that the previous gen had a V8. I always wondered...

    Need help/idea for interior security box to fight against theft

    Can’t take what’s not there. How about a rolling tool box? Can be strapped down and/or removed, and taken inside. I’m sure your employer would appreciate it too. https://www.homedepot.com/p/25-Gal-Connect-Rolling-Tool-Box-249208/314213514

    Ride quality of skinnies (eg 255/80r17)

    Harshness is going to be subjective to the end user, of course, especially if the driver is coming from P rated or even a car. With that said, I have had E rated tires on trucks since 2003 (GY MT/Rs, Terra Grapplers, KO2s) and currently 2 sets of 255/80s on two difference trucks. I have used...

    Recommended tire rotation

    Sorry to drag up an older thread, but i didn't want to create a new one. I acquired a 5th trail wheel to start 5 tire rotations. While I am familiar with the above-mentioned 5 tire pattern, Discount Tire, where I purchased my 5 tires, has a different pattern, where the PF gets moved to DF. This...

    is this your first truck with suspension like this? Perhaps have a local boardmember take a ride with you see what they think.

    Kicker Subaru Tweeter Upgrade for 4runner?

    How does this compare pricewise, and performance wise, to other brands of aftermarket tweeters? I tend to do mods because I can, but sometimes it's not the best option available. Take, for example, the $75 cupholder in an 80 series LC.

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

    i didn't even think to check! But I've had this Odyssey battery sitting in my eBay cart for months, just waiting for an applicable coupon code!

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

    Battery crapped out at exactly 48 months, with 42k miles. Replaced the Panasonic with an Odyssey 34R1500.

    Getting my second set of these thanks to eBay 15% off! This time on TRD-OR wheels. Moving my first set with 35k ish miles to the GX. Still have plenty of tread.

    CLOSED--Group Buy--Jowett Performance Filter Housing with Fuomoto type EZ drain valve

    My understanding was that you reuse your OEM internals and of course replace the paper element.

    Trunk unauthorized access prevention

    From what I've seen, thieves will try door handles for open doors and rummage, or in the unusual case of forced entry, use spark plug pieces (porcelain?) to shatter the glass without the loud impact sound. I can't recall any key receiver being compromised except for the ignition.

    85 mph in my RWD SR5 seems fine. I’d imagine 90 with fulltime would be just as good or better.

    Breather mod help.

    i would bring your breather and junction to where you are buying the fuel line and verify the diameter hose you need by test-fitting them on the parts. You can also choose to run the breather to the engine bay, which will of course require more hose.
