    Another Suspension Knocking Post

    I still have not been able to track down the sound, but after paying closer attention, it sounds like it is coming from the front suspension. I re-read a few posts, and it seems that the problem areas could be upper control arm/lower control arm bolts, or the sway bar bushings. It seems unlikely...

    What do you do with parts you can't sell?

    Second vote for FB marketplace. Drop the price a little, and the tube steps will sell. I have sold SR5 wheels, used tires, and port-installed options that I didn’t want. Be willing to accept reasonable offers - the stuff is worth nothing just sitting in the garage. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Another Suspension Knocking Post

    Jack and toolkit are tight. No lift - all stock. It’s only a little over 3 months old, but I can check the grease fittings on the rear driveshaft. It sounds like something knocking back and forth a couple of times in the scenario described. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Another Suspension Knocking Post

    Hi, all. I have searched the forum and online, but have not come up with a satisfactory answer, so apologies in advance about yet another suspension-related knocking post. '22 ORP with KDSS, 3,500 miles, purchased new in September. When going over uneven pavement or a series of bumps, I am...

    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    First time Fluid Film application on my new TRDP OR. Pretty excited, considering I did nothing to my last 4R, and it was fairly rusty underneath after 8 years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How much are people paying for the NEW 4Runner?

    I paid MSRP + tax, title and the dealer’s $499 “doc fee” for my ‘22 ORP w KDSS. Picked it up yesterday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Recipe for the best all-around 4runner that wheels hard and road trips.

    Agreed. There will always be unintended consequences if you change a system that has been engineered to be as capable, reliable and durable as possible. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Should I trade 4R ORP for a Rav4 Hybrid ?

    Rav4 Prime to 4R I sold my '14 SR5 around one year ago and bought a Rav4 Prime. I am now going to sell the Prime and get back into a 4R. The Rav is a decent vehicle, but it's smaller than the 4R, and does not handle road imperfections as well. It doesn't have any real off-road chops. The fit...

    Windshield ticks, creaks, noises

    Solved! For anyone who is experiencing creaking coming from the dash area when it's cold and/or dry out, the source is the plastic windshield cowling. For the fix: 1) Remove the caps from the attachment points for the wipers with a small screwdriver. (Just pop them off.) 2) Remove wipers...

    5th Gen 4Runner Safety

    You seem angry. Try speaking your voice commands in a nice, calm voice - it works for me. I'm also curious as to how you're losing traction "routinely" on dry pavement with your OEM tires. It sounds like a tire swap isn't going to make your vehicle (you?) any safer.

    You can enter a destination into the navigation unit through Entune/Bing/Voice search while driving.

    Have a set of Trail edition wheels and Tires (NEW) help with pricing?

    I'd price them at $800 OBO and put them in the classified section on this forum, as well as on tacomaworld.com and a tundra forum. Definitely Craigslist them as well, since your best chance of selling will be to someone local. (Shipping is expensive.) Try Ebay for comparative pricing on the...

    STIFLER IS BACK! Build Thread

    I have the rear cargo liner from WT for my 2014, and it's square - no kick-outs at the rear, which was a bit of a disappointment. I wonder if they changed the design for 2015?

    Windshield ticks, creaks, noises

    The creak is worse... This snap of cold weather has really made the creaking worse. It's pretty much constant on bumpy roads or uneven pavement. I installed new retaining pins/clips at the corners of the cowling (part number 90467-07211) and it seemed to help for a bit. Is anyone else...

    Buying a 4runner - need advice

    I've found my '14 SR5 to be more refined in several ways as to compared to the '10 SR5 that I had. I have not driven a LE, but I'm not a fan of 20'' wheels. Having less sidewall on the tires does create more road noise, and I would imagine the ride is more harsh as well.
