2018 Toyota Group Photo? :spy:

I like what you've done. For some reason I think the Tacoma headlights looks more fitting. I chopped this up in MS Paint with the progressive changes side-by-side. Your two plus my #3. Now we just need one in Inferno, Grey and Black.

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm on the edge with the current front fascia but your PS would put me in a driver's seat. If you tried enlarging the black strip connecting the fog lights I think it would look even better. Btw add the Tacoma side mirrors too.

That's true. One consumer won't have an impact but what if someone photoshoped a great looking 6 gen 4runner with a Tacoma front end and it attracts a lot of interest. I'm sure then it would get the attention of these Toyota designers. We all can dream can't we?

What are the chances of the 6th Gen 4runner (when released/finalized) front end looking like this? I think it would be badass. I hope Toyota engineers/designers are lurking the forums. It's the best front end of the bunch. The 5th Gen headlights are cool though. Anyone care to...

Seems there's a lot of fuss over ~1 cfs of cargo space. My opinion is, if you have to weigh the option of the 3rd row seat, you might as well get it. Sure you lose some cargo spaces/compartments but it might come in handy for the extra passenger space for those with a big or growing family...

Jealous doesn't even begin to describe this... Can't wait to see what you add to your stable in 2015.

Thanks for the pic. I like the top bar and bottom bar offset on the rack. If there was no sharkfin cutout, there's no issue with the rack making contact with the antenna right? Btw, matte finish on the paint or PC job would look best IMO.

$825 for the mounts only? That's kinda steep in my opinion. I'd invest that cash towards a Gobi rack or something similar and mount it there. I personally think that looks better.

I hate to sound harsh but why did you recently purchase a 4runner without a sunroof if you wanted one so bad? I a lot of aftermarket mods are fine and reversible but a sunroof is a big headache waiting to happen.

What's your impression of road noise and ride comfort having now switched out to AT3s? Both sets of tires were brand new so you can probably give a pretty good comparison.

Just curious as to why you need to mount them onto a wheel before you're able to clone them? Do the wheels need to be spun on the balancing machine to activate something? Or do they need to be at a certain PSI during the cloning process? Btw, if you removed an existing set of TPMS from a...

So is there a universal device/tool that all tire shops use to reprogram TPMS for all make/model cars? If so, any got a link to show the cost? Some shops charge $50-100 to reset TPMS so that can add up for those of us with a dedicated set of snow tires. As for this orange electronic TMPS, if...

Just curious how many sets of TPMS can a 4runner recognize? I know some other cars can have 2 or more sets of TPMS programmed into one vehicle. This is to allow someone to swap a dedicated set of snow wheels/tires and not have to reprogram anything.

I'd opt for leather. Much easier to wipe off the crumbs and other crap your kids might spill. Of course, if you have perforated leather and spill a drink, that can lead to trouble. Cheap insurance is get a car seat liner. Saves your car from smelling like piss. You'll need car seat...
