As an owner of both - 2014 TEP and a modified wrangler, I can attest to the difference in quality. While I absolutely love both vehicles I laugh at myself with the way I react to different issues. In the 4R if I so much as hear a faint squeak, rattle, what have you, I freak. In the jeep, if I...

I'm another one that has both a Wrangler and a 4R. I'm surprised to see how many of us are out there! Like most, I love my Wrangler - modded out it's just cool and fun, but I would never get rid of my 4Runner. If I could only have one, it'd be the 4R hands down. As for the Jeep, it's noisy...

I currently have a modded 2010 2dr Wrangler and a 2014 4R TEP (the latest in a long line of 4Rs). I will say that of all the vehicles I've owned, the Jeep rides like crap, handles like crap, is underpowered, gets dismal mileage, is noisy and has the aerodynamics of a brick... that said, it's...

Having owned a Tacoma and 3 4R's, I would say it'll last until you're bored with it. I drive a lot and tend to trade them in between 100-150k and the only problem I've ever had was a broken strut that holds up the lift gate on my 2010 (watch, that said, I'll throw a rod tonight...)

I went from a 2010 Limited to a 2014 Trail Premium with KDSS. The Limited was great (I'm on my 4th 4R) but I did hate the 20 inch wheels. I changed the tires to 275/55-20 Goodyear Silent Armor and had great results in some pretty serious snow (and they were nice and quiet the rest of the...

late to the party I'm late to the party, but I just traded my 2010 LE on a 2014 Trail Premium. This makes my 4th 4R and I just keep liking them more. I too was VERY interested in the GC because of all the bells and whistles, but just couldn't past the quality issues. My best friend bought a...

revos I had Revos on my last 4R and this one and had great luck with them. I'm hoping I don't regret trying the GY Silent Armors this time. We'll see....

275/55 pic To the person asking for pics. I just had these put on yesterday replacing 275/55 Bridgestone Dueller Revos that lasted about 45k miles. (having some issues with my computer, if this doesn't work I'll try again later)

It's a personal choice. If you do a search you'll see everything from folks like me who have had no issues, to those that are certain you'll die a horrible death. I toyed with changing the rims, but I actually like the look of the stock rims (just don't know what Toyota was thinking when they...

It's awesome I also have magenetic gray. I bought the Griot's kit a couple years ago and love it. You'll be amazed at the shine you get. I've even used their polishes and buffer on my Corian counters and it they look awesome. I should add that a friend of mine switched to Zaino for his jet...

I can't fine my pics, but if you search under my screen name you can find them. I put Brdigestone Dueller Revos in a 275/55/20 on my Limited with the ridiculous 7inch wide rims almost 2 years ago. I now have about 26k miles on them with no issues whatsoever. They fit fine, no rubbing at all...

It's all up to personal preference. My limited came with the tray and the plastic fold down stop piece at the back. While I hated it at first, thinking it was useless and took up needed space in the back, I have to admit that over time I've come to really like it. On numerous occassions I've...

they didn't stop making women.....just sayin (maybe I should be a marriage counselor)

Just wanted to pass on something that, while not common, seems to be occurring in the 5th gens. This past weekend, with 40k on the odometer, I was almost decapitated when the struts on the rear door gave out. Took it back to the dealer yesterday and I have to say, even though I'm out of...

I have the Revo's on mine. I took it skiing in the mountains and down some forest service roads to get to some trailheads and all in all I'm pleased. We didn't have as much snow as some years so the most I drove in was probably no more than 8 inches, but no problems at all - and the ride of...
