    Tires for TRD Pro, brand questions

    Any feedback on the Nitto Ridge Grappler? They look like they might do well with shedding the gravel & mud but might be loud? Treadwear isn’t as good as the others. I’ll look into all the other suggestions posted, thanks for the feedback.

    Tires for TRD Pro, brand questions

    It’s time to replace my stock Nittos on mybTRD-Pro @ 52K miles. I drive off road everyday, 3 miles each way of Florida washboard road when it’s dry and sloppy mud and clay when it rains. We put a set of Falken Wildpeak A/T3W’s on my wife’s SR5 4WD and I really like those but they...

    List of all the coolant hoses?

    I’m more of a proactive maintenance person. This is my wife’s 4R and she is frequently on the road without me. I replace batteries every 3 years and put the old one in my tractor or elsewhere. I replace belts, tires, brakes etc. as routine PM. I don’t/can’t wait for them to fail. Since I DIY I...

    List of all the coolant hoses?

    The wife’s 2014 4R is due a 10 year service. I plan to replace the radiator hoses, coolant, heater hoses and I’d like to replace the associated bypass hoses. There are seven that I can see on the front block but I can’t find any decent diagram that lists them all and I’d like to order them all...

    Entune Keeps Crashing

    I’ll be surprised if there isn’t a class action over Entune and the loss of features. This is a premium option upgrade that folks paid for. They ought to at least give 5 years of free premium XM service to compensate. I for one used paid Pandora almost exclusively even as buggy as it was. Still...

    Buying and Installing Crossbars on a new 4 Runner

    I got an OEM set off of Amazon, think they were $110. Good enough for the occasional 2x4 or fishing rod. I have 6x12 trailer for anything more than that. A little tricky to get the trim caps off but there is a thread here detailing how to do it. ETA $107 Amazon Link

    2013 T4R engine ticking noise

    Normal. My 2014 does it, my buddies FJ does it, my 2017 does it but not quite as loud, yet. It's worse when it's cold or on first start up of the day. Worried me at first since it does sound a lot like a bearing knock. Once up to operating temp it all but goes away. If I had to throw my guess...

    For those considering seat covers

    I put a set of the Coverking Tactical's on my Pro more as protection as I get pretty grimy on the farm and my short wife likes to slide off the bolster which irks me. They aren't as snug as neoprene since there isn't any stretch but after careful fitting they aren't too bad. I haven't found much...

    Switch the car chargers to USB chargers, anyone?

    I installed one of these in place of the power point inside the console. It was pita, I wouldn't do it again.

    Slider install and frame grommets

    Removed the ones that would be covered by the mounting plates to reduce the chance of gunk building up behind the plates. Plates serve the same purpose as the plugs, they cover the holes.

    T-SB-0009-15 TRD Pro Bumper/Fender Interference

    The Jax port did a good job on mine, if you didn't know to look for it, you wouldn't notice.

    Painting rock sliders?

    I did the rattle can bed liner, details & pics can be found in the link below. Biggest issue is the prep work, you can't simply wipe them down and spray them. They need to be sanded or sandblasted to get the mill coatings off. There is no easy way out of the prep work. You might find a local...
