Boom!

Those Mountain Views are worth it though. We don’t have anything like that in FL. The entire inland parts of the State is basically one giant weed. That’s why we all have boats.

100% agree with this statement.

The major difference that I foresee towing a camper versus a boat is aerodynamics. A boat is fairly aerodynamic and therefore easier to tow at highway speeds. A 4,500lb camper on the other hand might require lower highway speeds due to the blocky design of most models. Think of it as a parachute.

Nope, no fuel savings, none. I’ve had a K+N CAI on my 4th gen and now have a TRD CAI on my 5th gen and neither of them saved fuel. The only advantages of having an after market CAI is a negligible increase in HP at wide open throttle and it makes a terrific noise when you push the skinny...

I know that lots of you have several questions about what it is like towing at the 5,000 pound limit of the Toyota 4Runner. Let me start by saying that I have owned multiple 4Runners. My first was a 2007 2wheel drive SR5 that was modded with a lift, 33” tires, spindles, custom dual exhaust...

Back when I had my 4th gen I went from 285/70/17 Nitto Terra Grapplers to 295/70/17 Nitto Trail Grapplers and immediately noticed a significant difference. The truck downshifted much more frequently on the highway and struggled to stay in 5th at any speed higher than 75mph. I realize the 5th...

Yes, you can easily adjust them to your liking. Mine are right about in the middle of the threads and I am measuring 38.5” floor to top of wheel well in the front and 39.5” in the rear. Perfect stance in my opinion and great ride quality.

2016 TE. I have had two issues. For some reason my parking break sticks when engaged. Dealer say the cable stretched and quoted me $500 to replace it. Extended warranty would not cover. The second issue was a little more frustrating. After several misdiagnosis’ by the dealer, I learned...

I am surprised to read that you only received a 1hp increase with the addition of the URD MAF Calibrator. Gadget should the gains come right after install, or does it take the ECU some time to adjust? Any tips for us? I was really hoping for a 10 to 15 hp increase from this mod.

Don't wash the roof rack. Mine never gets dirty anyway.

Thank you for being so thorough in your research. I also have a TRD intake and cat-back exhaust. Looking forward to the results of your next dyno run with the intake to see what your results are. Also, have you thought about adding an Underdog Racing MAF calibrator to your list of engine...

I’ve got the full length, non-drill and I think the rack is amazing. I have put all of my weight on 2 crossbars (190lbs.) with no flex at all. The rack can handle an RTT no problem.

I had an awesome custom exhaust made for my 4th gen. Cut off the second set of catalytic converters and custom tubing, 2 in 2 out through a Flowmaster 40z. It was great! Wish I took a sound clip. It was perfect if you like loud and grumbly.

James - This is Ray. Pose the question in the 4th gen section and you will get more traction. Also, please provide some more details. Does the loss of power happen at quarter throttle and half throttle? Does the loss of power only happen when the transmission shifts from first to second...
