Wait...when you say you have Alexa functionality for your garage door, thermostat, and door locks, you're not referring to the Homelink opener in the T4R or the 4Runner's door locks, are you?

Makes sense. I’ve always felt that my 4R seems like the modern equivalent of my old FJ60.

I ran the ATII on my Tacoma in LT-C 265/75-16 and felt pretty neutral on them. They weren’t bad, but they weren’t great. Overall, I preferred the AT-KO2. With that said, I’m still interested in these in the LT-E in 265/70-17 at 48lbs. I don’t expect to need new tires On my 4R for a couple more...

I only have 11k on my LTC KO2s, but I’m thinking of picking up a set of these to keep around until the BFGs wear out. It’s hard to pass up a set of tires for <$400. Hmmm...

Adding the factory console is pretty inexpensive for the SR5, not so much for the OR. I bought the factory SR5 premium console for ~$170 and sold my stock console for $120. Net cost $50 and less than 10 minutes of work. However, I believe the OR premium overhead console costs $900 or something...

Just to clarify, pre-lift were you running the ICON wheels?

Congrats and enjoy the new Taco! When I bought my '09 Tacoma 11 years ago, I cross-shopped the 4R, but the truck was just a better fit for me. I traded in the Taco last fall for a '19 4R; I test drove the new Tacomas as well. They were great trucks, but at this point in my life the 4R was a...

I had to have my first chip repair at 8k miles. There are lots of things I love about living in Colorado, but there are also a lot I hate...

I don't do that currently with my 4R, but I did run 2 sets on my Tacoma when it was new. I used to use an AT on factory wheels for daily driving and had a set of MTs on FJC steel wheels for off road use. The only draw back (other than the 1/2 hour or so it took to swap out the wheels) was that...

Rhino Rack makes tracks that specifically fit the 4Runner. I have been meaning to research to see if I can trim the length to reflect that of the factory rack thereby avoiding drilling the necessary mounting points for the front of the tracks.

Nice work on your pods!

You’re welcome! I also miss the unlocked 4WD mode of my 4th gen. I loved that in spotty weather.

Your 4th gen had a center differential, effectively giving it an AWD mode, which the 5th gen does not. Driving the 5th gen in 4WD is equivalent to driving your 4th gen in 4WD with the CDL engaged. In that mode, the 4th gen would also bind when turning on a dry firm surface. You should shift...

Do you want the dealer options? Looks like about 9.5% savings. Or around 6.5% with $1061 in free dealer add-ons, whichever way you prefer to look at it. 9.5% is a little under what seems to be average, but it depends on where you live. Some areas discount a little more, others a little less...
