Same topic, differnt question - If I wanted to take my Limited on the beach with it's massive 7 inch wide rims and low-profile mud tires ( sarcasm).. what can I air them down to for the same kind of beach driving? Don't have much experience with these kinds of tires - I've only offroaded in my...

Some more improvement s for the next 4Runner iteration: - a REAL factory roof rack. The stock crossbars are too low for anything, and flex if you put more than 100 lbs on them. - move / redisgn the sharkfin antenna - delete the slding deck, replace with an optional 1-piece molded cargo...

Funny you posted this. Take this for what it's worth....... I noticed the same thing on my 2010 Limited. So I tried to recall if I've EVER noticed before. I didnt think I had, but then I could remember if it was something I just never noticed. Anyways, I was in for my 15K mile service and I...

Chris, I use my "magic button" on almost every road trip. My wife wanted to smack me (she actually did) when I spent $300 on a 'fix' for our new vehicle. BUT now, she is very happy that I did. It works perfectly as advertised, and is easy to install. At the time I told her, "well, it's...

Dude - read this thread: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/91876-cargo-box-satellite-radio-antenna.html Just went throught the process. Lots of photos and hopefully some answers for you.

Update For those looking to use their factory crossbars with a Yakima box... First - to the guy who said his box was bouncing around - not sure how you achieved this - I'm guessing you overloaded it or did not have the clamps adjusted properly. I just finished a roundtrip from New York to...

Hi everyone, So my Yakima skybox 16 arrived. Not trying to do a product review, just how it works with the limited T4R. I'll try to post some photos sunday. here's the highlights: 1. the Skybox 16 (at 81" long) is as long as I'd want a box on top of the 4runner. with the factory bars...

Yes, that's correct - the OP (Me) actually has already purchased the Skybox 16 and it should be arriving this week. If I can use my factory cross bars, I will, if not, I will have to break down and buy the Yakima cross bars. The only things I need to carry up top are fishing gear and baby...

Thanks. How far above the factory side rails does the bottom of the box sit (if the top Plane of the rails was '0"'

Mine did fine last winter. But i really want something more agressive. I didnt push it too hard on the roads. But i did test it out around the neighborhood first 6+ inch snowfall we got. Tried starting up snowy hill from a dead stop. Fine. Tried stopping hard from 20 mph. Did pretty well. I.e...

Hi everyone, I searched and search and could not find an answer for a few questions. I've been researching here and other places and decided to buy a Yakima Skybox 16 (regular - not the Pro). Had 'em on Amazon for $414 plus free shipping. First - what is the experience of everyone with the...

KO - can you post some photos please???

Hey - I bought those exact same runnig boards from Sparks Toyota in SC. Yes indeed, $285 shipped. They are stock Toyota running boards. Look good, fit perfect. Very easy to install with only a socket wrench. Go for it. And yeah, the stealerships in NY tried the old $1000-quote for the same...

What tires do you have? Very nice btw!
