    Which rack for RTT?

    No progress so far. Analysis paralysis got me and now the weather has turned my thoughts elsewhere. I'm interested to hear of your "solution". Airing up and down each time sounds like it would get old quickly. Removing the ladder sounds a lot better. Before I temporarily shelved the project, I...

    Any body have their license plate bulb housings installed backwards?

    Saker So you didn't need to cut or splice any wiring? By the way, the Owners Manual (p. 396) shows the bulbs facing outwards as they are installed at the factory. Perhaps Toyota switched them at some point to reduce glare from the license plate in the backup camera, although it seems unlikely...

    2014 Nav Update

    Is it not possible to copy the DVD to a microSD card? Or is it in some proprietary format?

    Roof rack controversy. Gobi Vs Whitson

    Perhaps they did. I tried looking up Perkins Performance, Puyallup WA. An entry on Yelp from 2013 claims it is closed. Norton blocked access to their website perkinsperformance.com and flagged it as a malicious website. Anybody had contact with them lately?

    5th Gen T4R Picture Gallery

    Classic silver metallic 2015 Trail Edition with KDSS, Entune premium, rigid running boards, exhaust tip :rolleyes:. Took delivery Friday afternoon (8/14) with "1 miles" on the odometer. Replaced the stock Bridgestones with BFG AllTerrain T/A KO2s (LT265/70r17, C rating).

    BFG All-Terrain T/A KO2 went on sale today

    Thanks, that's reassuring. I'm not sure why the dealer couldn't fit the spare under the vehicle. I expressed surprise but I wasn't going to argue. I've got 4 tires and they certainly improve the truck. I might try Costco and see if they can fit it. Thanks. The published dimensions on...

    BFG All-Terrain T/A KO2 went on sale today

    BFG KO2 as a spare I have just taken delivery of a 2015 Toyota 4Runner Trail Edition. I ordered five BFG AllTerrain KO2 LT265/70R17s to replace the stock Bridgestone Dueler HTs. However, when I arrived at the dealership to pick up the truck I was told that the spare wheel would not fit on the...

    2014 Wrangler Unlimited vs 4Runner

    Jeep to TE We have just traded in a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon for a 2015 Toyota Runner Trail Edition. In early 2012 we were looking for a vehicle which would allow us to explore the trails of southern Utah including overnight stops while still being capable of freeway/highway...

    Which rack for RTT?

    Sorry, missed that. Thanks. ..and thanks to all. I'm picking up my 4Runner tomorrow and saying goodbye to the Jeep.

    Which rack for RTT?

    OK - got it. I thought the aluminum tent mounting rails were separate crossbars. Just watched the Tepui installation video and realize they part of the tent. Thanks.

    Which rack for RTT?

    Thanks jicko. I was scared off using the stock roof rails by the 150lbs limit but it seems to work fine for you. Do you know what the rails are rated for? I suspect it's hard to find out that sort of information. What crossbars did you use? And what did you use to mount them on the rails...

    Which rack for RTT?

    Thanks everyone. I don't plan on lifting it, at least not initially. So we're dealing with stock height. I am changing out the Bridgestones for BFG AllTerrains of the same size, but I'm assuming this will not affect overall height significantly. When I get the vehicle home, I'll cut a...

    Which rack for RTT?

    I am about to take delivery of a 2015 Trail T4R and would like to mount a roof rack for a rooftop tent. I have the standard 7' 6" garage door opening so I am looking for a low profile rack (and tent) so I do not have to remove the tent each time I drive into the garage. I have been in contact...

    LT tire pressure for 5th gen Trail

    I am about to swap out my stock Bridgestone Dueler HT P265/70/17s for BFG AllTerrain T/A KO LT265/70/17 6-ply & 3-ply sidewalls. The Toyota recommended pressure for the Bridgestones is 32psi. The sticky thread "LT tires need more air pressure" suggests about 42psi. What pressure would you run...
