Quentin, A little off topic from this thread, but...I've been a 4Runner owner since 2005. I've owned a 2005 SR5, and 2010 and 2013 Limiteds. I love 4Runners and Toyota trucks in general. I know this is sacrilege here, but in 2020 I traded in my '13 4R Limited for a new 2020 Honda Passport...

Hello! I took my 4Runner (2013 limited) out yesterday To have some fun in snowpocalypse 2019. I noticed right away that the rear defroster and LED weren’t working. After a few more miles, I realized that the rear wiper and washer aren’t working, either. They worked fine earlier this week. I’m...

Been there, done that My wife and I did this back in 2010 or 2011. We rented an SR5 4Runner from Tempe Toyota while on vacation in the Phoenix area. We were considering buying a new 5th gen at the time so it was a good deal. Renting (as opposed to an extended test drive) has a couple...

kuat NV I've owner the Thule t2, 1upusa, and kuat NV. The kuat is my favorite. It's the best combination of ease of use, weight and stability of the three.

Hi Ho Silver! Here's my silver LE with trail wheels. She's a 2013, but I put the 2014 LED tails on!

I'm not sure that I could say definitively where the movement in the 1Up came from. All I know is that when I would look back at my bike(s) on the way to the trailhead, there was way too much bouncing and swaying for my taste. My history: I've owned 3 higher-end hitch racks. A Thule T2...

Don't Worry, Be Happy I made the same swap last summer on my 2013 LE. The tire shop re-used my factory TPMS. The wheel diameter with stock FJ/TE wheels is the same as stock LE wheels, so there are no worries with speed or odometer. I haven't noticed any difference in noise, performance, or gas...

I didn't like the 1up rack, either. I bought one...it was sexy. All aluminum. Simple. My bikes were all over the place on the 1up, though. I couldn't believe how much movement there was back there. It freaked me out, so I returned it and got my money back and purchased a Kuat NV the next day...

I just had a look at the Fumoto website. Those things looks awesome! The Fumoto search tool recommends 3 different drain valves: The F103, F103N, and F103S. The plain F103 has no nipple, the N has a nipple, and the S has a short nipple. Question: Which one is best for a 5th gen 4Runner? If I...

5th gen passenger side limited edition tail light. Removed from my 2013 at ~8000 miles. Perfect condition. Works as intended. Includes bulb sockets and neoprene gasket. $125 shipped. PayPal preferred.

Make me an offer that I can't refuse!

TE rims on a '13 LE I put these on 2weeks ago. Love the silver TE rims (and fatter tires) on my 13 LE.

The locals get a little cranky around here...even if you do use the search feature. While I'm no engineer, I think your dealer is full of shite. My 4runner LE weighs exactly the same as it did before I put oem 17's on, and the overall diameter/circumference of the wheel is unchanged. I can't...

Your answer... I put 17" trail edition rims with stock size 265/70-R17 tires on my 2013 limited just this past week. I think the new wheels look MUCH better, and the tire selection is better, as well.

5th Gen limited edition tail lights, left and right. Perfect condition. Removed with ~8000 miles from my 2013 LE 4Runner. Includes bulb sockets and gasket. $125 for each light shipped to your door. PM if interested. Mike
