Sorry those were the only pics I took. The process involved removing the console and plastic dash parts to cut the back of the pocket open. The radio was too deep to fit without chopping a hole in the duct that feeds the vents in the back of the console. It runs directly behind that pocket. I'd...

Wife drives our 2016 SR5/XP package (20" wheels/tires) and are seeing an average of 15.6mpg. Much of the driving is stop and go traffic during the daily commute so we're not too disappointed with that. I drive the 2016 Corolla and have been averaging 30.5mpg so that makes up for her lousy...

Bone stock

I had my wife follow me for about 40 minutes a week or so ago. She drove the '16 4Runner with Xenon Depot HID's and I drove the '16 Corolla. I was getting a little irritated with the amount of glare hitting my mirrors and it was obvious that her HID's were way overpowering my headlights... as I...

Ditto what others have said about the NMO trunk lip mount. I put a 2M whip on our 2011 and it worked great. Still haven't moved the radio gear over to the 2016 yet... but will be doing the same setup. To answer your question about radios... I love my Kenwood TM281, but it's only a 2m rig...

Ditto this.

I own several of each of these radios and cannot say enough about them. Fantastic and powerful. Had one of the 281's mounted in the lower dash pocket of our '11 SR5 but haven't decided yet if I want it in that location in our new '16 SR5. I had to sacrifice the duct going to the rear of the...

Just bought ours two weeks ago... and assumed the dealer would have the PSI correct. After averaging 17.5mpg on a 1600 mile trip... I decided to look at the tire pressures. They were all at 26-28psi. The 275/55-20 Nitto Terra Grapplers can run at 50psi... so that's where they are now. Jury...

The day we picked it up... (about 2 weeks ago)

Ordered a $22 data cable and software to program the seatbelt chime to "off" and to tweak a few other things. Money well spent. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00W97K7O6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Didn't work for me. My PC keeps trying to open it as an image file. Screwed with it for an hour and still nothing. I give up.

Ditto this... I'm in Cumming GA with a brand new Midnight Black SR5. Would love to have a scooped hood.

G23 is my go to and usually just lays inside the console if it's not on me. I like the vault idea though.

You are basically just replacing the factory headlight bulbs with HID bulbs and ballasts. The kit is plug and play. The "Auto headlight" feature is just what turns the headlights on/off and has nothing to do with the HID upgrade. If you can figure out how to pump gas into the gas tank... you...

Bought our bike rack at Northern Tool for around $35. It's plenty rugged, holds 4 bikes and does everything we need it to do. :reddance:
