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

    I just saw a 4 door Bronco today- grey paint with a white top and white wheels. It was pretty sharp.

    New Car Shipping - Toyota WTF

    I'm sure it's frustrating, but you may have to pony up and rent something short-term. You are not paying for or making payments on the new ones yet, so it might be unavoidable to have to do this. I'm not making light of your situation, but ordering 90-100K worth of specifically optioned...

    '23 TRD 4Runner Off-road included skid plates vs TRD stamped Front Skid Plate- HELP!

    For not much more than a TRD skid plate, you can get a longer skid that covers the oil pan as well. RCI, CaliRaised and Greenlane, plus several others I'm sure make them in aluminium.

    Rock sliders that "could" work as a step too

    Not rocks, but logs, trees, dirt etc. I wouldn't use them for rock crawling or as a jacking point either. For mild stuff they are great.

    Rock sliders that "could" work as a step too

    Not the most popular because they are aluminum, but have worked well for me are the Greenlane Offroad sliders. I have the flat version with the rear bump-out and top plates. No rust and 25 pounds each.

    Green Lane front skid 5th gen $175 plus shipping (MI)

    Nearly new condition. Installed and removed after one short trip. 12 pounds, fits in bike wheel box so shipping won't be too bad.

    Bouncy Suspension Options

    As you already know, the shocks only dampen the springs from oscillating over and over, so if your 4Runner is truly doing that, then just try 5100's. They are affordable and easy to install. Even new, my 4R was floaty on the highway and in crosswinds. I replaced the springs and shocks with...

    Why is one of the greatest minds in history absent from history books and courses?

    History is full of incredible scientists who didn't really get recognized as they should be. Look at Rachel Carson- her studies on the biological and ecological impacts of herbicides and pesticides have been largely ignored. It was nice to Katherine Johnson get some notoriety in Hidden...

    Avoid 4RunnerLifestyle

    Update- After requesting a refund on the order, I (magically) received a FedEx notice on a shipment from DD, which arrived on Wednesday the 11th. I am happy I received my order, but disappointed in the process. In the future I would order direct from DD if I were to buy anything else.

    Avoid 4RunnerLifestyle

    I placed an order for DD fog lights on 12/20/22. $380 plus tax/shipping. They charged my card right away. On 12/27/22 I sent them a message about order status and got the automated reply (thanks for your inquiry/we will get back to you/no duplicate inquiries needed). On 1/3/23 they generated...

    Off-brand rear bumper cover

    ^^^ For $360 painted, that seems like a good deal. I'm not sure if that is a folded or non-folded version though.

    Off-brand rear bumper cover

    I replaced the front bumper cover on my daughter's Mazda 3. The part came folded in a box and unfolded perfectly after sitting in the sun for an hour. The expensive part was paint- body shops wanted $500+ to paint it. I ended up buying SprayMax 2K aerosol paint and clearcoat and did it...

    Toyota 75w or 75w90 in transfer case?

    I just ordered Royal Purple Syncromax for my TC and Maxgear 75w90 for the diffs. If anyone is interested, Royal Purple Direct has all those on sale, roughly about $16 per bottle. It ended up being $115 for all 7 quarts. Free ground shipping as well.
