    Ahhh, more comfort.

    Oh I’m right there with you! Not sure I’ll sell my 4Runner in the process but I’m definitely considering a similar move (although probably something I can tow) in the next few years. Amazing new rig. Enjoy it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Oil Change 5th Gen: How To- LOTS of PICS!

    Changed the oil myself for the first time today (just the oil - keep reading) and found out the dealership left me a few little surprises (they handled the first two oil changes, only because they were included with my purchase). First, the oil filter housing is so tight I’m going to order a...

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

    Installed a Pedal Commander. Best $229 I’ve spent on this truck. :) Just passing in normal city driving felt like such a task. This thing totally fixes that. I’ve got it set on City +1 and feels great. I’m going to play with it a bit until it’s perfect. Connects to a phone app via Bluetooth so...

    Swapping SR5 stock tires to TRD rims, silly question

    Those are definitely not OEM. They are reproductions and not very good ones. Look closely at the spokes and center caps. You can get OEM ones shipped for less than $100 more. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Surprisingly stable at high speeds

    Ever experience an evasive maneuver at highway speeds in one of these trucks? I have and I would say “stable” is not exactly what came to mind. More like, do I need a change of underpants... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Higher tariffs could be particularly painful for Asian automakers including Toyota.

    If the salesman said it, absolutely! :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Removing white paint from tires and wheel wells

    Omg what a nightmare. You need a pressure washer stat. Do the best you can with that. You can’t use anything caustic really. You may then need to use some bedliner when things dry up to cover up the white that’s left in your wheel wells. It’s going to be almost impossible to get it all off. The...

    Steering wheel vibration Poll

    I get a slight vibration at around 65, but not consistent. Tends to happen only on cold mornings when I get immediately on the highway. Can’t be wheels and tires because I’ve changed both and it still happens once in a while. It’s barely noticeable and I don’t cruise at 65 so I’ve just ignored...

    New brake job, lower MPG?

    They work, and are much better than my 3rd gen’s brakes, but I absolutely hate the squishy feel. I mean it even makes a ‘squish’ sound. Seriously considering an upgrade to braided lines to see if that helps. And I must say I also hated the brake assist thing on panics stops.... until last...

    Tell me this has happened to y'all too!?

    Props to the 4Runner crowd for telling the best $hit stories EVER. I haven’t laughed this hard in a while! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2WD versus 4WD... Help Me:

    There’s a happy middle ground. Look outside your market or be patient and find a better deal on an SR5 4x4. :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rear Engine Seal Leak at 23k! May Not Be Warrantied?!

    I also think we may not be getting the full story here but I guess it’s a moot point considering OP is satisfied with the outcome and is moving on. I personally would continue the fight if asked to pay for something that I could not have possibly caused and that should be covered under...

    2016 4Runner poor quality, early wear

    I had a very similar issue on my low mileage 2016 (was driving me crazy) and found it was the rigid lines (e-brake, I think) that run through some metal guides/rings along the frame just in front of the rear tires. When the suspension moves it pulls these lines and they rub on the bare metal...

    Botched Powder Coating Job?

    Looks like a rattle can paint job, and a bad one at that. Not sure what you paid but I’d be pissed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
