45,000 miles running my stage 1 tune and still loving it! Even did a cross country move pulling a 16' v-nose trailer over 3,000 miles loaded with the max towing capacity of 5K (trailer brakes) and probably had another 1K of weight in the Runner. Could have never pulled this off without the...

Encouraging read however, I ran many consecutive tanks for 92 octane and never noticed anything to write about. As much to say if this was a solution I wouldn't have purchased a Pedal Commander last year. With the VR Tune, writing about it and sold my Pedal Commander. Anyone else out there...

From what I understand the latest Tundra engine has an adaptive ECU to take advantage of higher octane however, the 4Runner does not. If you look at the VR Tune dyno charts on the Tundra you will see that the 4Runner produces a much higher % gain with the VR Tune vs. the Tundra; evidence of...

I absolutely recommend the VR Tune based on my experience. No matter how your drive slow or fast; the VR Tune makes the Runner an easier drive. At some point I will put up some screen shots for the AFR, Timing Advance, TPS, and MF Air Sensor read-only data I can see on my Kenwood with iMaestro...

Please stop obsessing and perpetuating top speed posts. It's about normal city and highway driving. :peace: Has anyone else done the VR Tune to share their results?

Guys it’s not about top speed it’s about the drivability. The top speed limiter removal is a + I will never use unless I have to deal with an idiot that keeps passing me and slows down then when I pass they speed up so I can’t pass. The law of the limiter removed says I will pass their sedan...

Posting this to get others to share their VR Tune experience. Installed the Stage 1 VR Tune on my stock 2018 4Runner Limited. This post is to share VR Tune results, not to talk about other unrelated upgrades or folks having a negative opinion without trying. Installed my Stage 1 VRTune a...

Most impactful is the dash speakers, I would go with Hertz Deci 3 1/2" for the dash as my JBL Club 3020's developed a voice coil issue after too much cranking. Just put the Hertz in my Dash and they actually fit better too!

Kenwood Excelon with the iDatalink Maestro RR is your practically free Carplay Through crutchfield I updated my 2018 4Runner limited head unit with a Kenwood Excelon with iDatalink Maestro RR from Crutchfield. I now have CarPlay and much more. All said and done it was zero out of pocket...

Replaced the stock speakers in my 2018 4Runner Limited (w/ JBL) system. Here is what I installed and here are the results: Front Dash: Hertz DCX 87.3 (3 1/2") Front Door: Hertz Uno X 690 (6x9")* Rear Door and Trunk Hatch: Hertz X 130 (5 1/4") Subwoofer: Pioneer TS-SW2002D2 600W (8")...

LED Interior Lighting a Must Started with a few then did them all. My only warning is if you start plan to finish including the mirror puddle and license plate lamps. :gun4:

Limited Complete Speaker Replacement Started with the dash speakers and was like wow that sounds better. Well eventually replaced them all. The sound is actually pretty amazing with the factory JBL Audio head unit and factory amp. Here is what I would recommend. Dash: JBL Club 3020...

Driver's Side Apillar Handle Install Couldn't understand why my Wife's GX460 has a driver's side apillar handle and my Runner does not. Well it does now! Install wasn't actually that bad. Bought the same 2018 handle on the passenger side and of course installed it inverted. Behind the ABS...

Headlight Revolution GTR Xenon Kit I have a 2018 and compared to my Wife's GX460's LED low beams I could no longer put up with my halogen low beams :ohwell: Did a lot of research trying to figure out what is best for this stock halogen projector setup and I ended up getting a Xenon kit from...
