    Do you guys Lock up your Recovery Boards?

    I knew plenty of kids growing up that would steal things just because they were not tied down. So if it was me, I would put a lock on them.

    Considering selling and moving to a sedan (Subaru WRX Limited) thoughts????

    I traded my BRZ on my 4runner. Honestly gas mileage is mostly a wash. You have to take into consideration that you'll be paying more for it more often. Do I miss the BRZ? Yeah of course, especially on those nice days when you just wanna go for a ride, but honestly unless your enjoying it...

    So the 4runner fails headlight tests with a "poor" rating

    I really don't think they are that bad. I'm coming from a Subaru BRZ with HID's. Would they be better? Of course. But its not bad enought to me to just spending a decent sum of money on a proper retrofit. I've been down the HID in reflector housing road before, but I'd rather have people driving...

    New Maestro Radio Solution

    Since Party Mode is controlled by the OE headunit, removing it removes the functionality of Party Mode. But with an aftermarket headuint you get better sound and adjustability. So your not really losing anything, except being able to switch the rear door speakers off and drop the resistance to...

    Stereo Upgrade: OEM Audio Plus

    I didn't have one or heard one, but coming from a BRZ, their forum had alot of good reviews for their systems. For the ease of the install in addition to the fit and finish, there isn't a better alternative. My OEM Audio Plus 400 Install and Review

    Mod Warning on Thread Content

    I'm not saying the searching function is bad. I actually like that it utilizes google, its faster. But if I want to browse a topic, I shouldn't have to sift through hundreds of Bilstein 5100 and MPG threads.

    New Maestro Radio Solution

    2011 Non-NAV/Non-JBL SR5 I finished installing my headunit Sunday with the maestro system. I have retained all of the factory equipment except for the Bluetooth microphone and the AUX jack (this maybe due to the headunit). I thought I'd share my experience since this topic is relatively new. In...

    Except for the threads that do not contain the words "interior" and "light" and all of the millions of threads that do contain the words "interior" and "light". Also you can find things you weren't exactly looking for if your browsing in a topic.

    Mod Warning on Thread Content

    I'm still pretty new, but I been on quite a few forums prior to this one. Personally I would like to see some sub-folders in the the generation specific folders ie Suspension, Exterior, Interior, Lighting, DIY, etc. It is cumbersome looking through threads that have that have topics all over the...

    Why so many beefs about the 5th gen speed?

    Its a 4750 lbs 4x4 truck with a V6 that doesn't hit peak torque until 4400 rpm. I think it has alot to do with the ECO logic that a bunch of you brought up. Because it seems like nothing happens till 75% throttle, which drops you down a gear then your off. Its really counterproductive if you...

    Audio Upgrade?

    Honestly it depends on how much your willing to spend and what you are looking for. I bought my Runner used and was planning on upgrading prior to finding out that the dash speakers were replaced along with the rear tailgate. I have not heard a complete factory system, but the infinity's I have...

    Please help me decide SR5 vs Trail. Also, Q about 4WD use.

    2010-2013 SR5 and Trail came standard with plastic steering wheels. In order to get the factory leather steering wheel, you needed the premium package which included heated leather seats. But premium package was only available on the SR5.

    Please help me decide SR5 vs Trail. Also, Q about 4WD use.

    I was kind of in the same boat a few months back when I was looking, except my budget was limiting me mostly to the preface lifted 5th gens. I basically wanted a family/vacation hauler that was good in the snow. I know there are plenty of models on the market that do this better and are more...

    Did you consider a Tacoma?

    Considering I was specifically looking at used Runners when I was shopping I was tempted. Due to a larger inventory of Tacomas and Tundras to choose from. To me it comes down to how often you'd be using that bed. Also consider that with the back seats folded down in tye Runner you have almost...
