    Why did you pick the T4R over the FJ or Wrangler Unlimited?

    Three kids, and, Toyota. Other vehicle is a Sienna. When my drive was my wife's Pontiac Grand Am, got sick and came home from work , had a big pile of snow in front of the driveway. Thought, **** it, just hit it bulldoze it up, park it on the driveway, when I feel better in the morning, snow...

    Guilty! Use my 4Runner like a truck! Post your pics here!

    have a picture some where but I 'm too lazy. I take products under test up to ~120 pounds for work in the back of my 4Runner, the sliding rear shelf matches up pretty good with a Rubbermaid plastic cart. Plastic so it doesn't scratch the paint. I suppose a Highlander or RAV4 could take its...

    sunroof drain cleaning

    Oh shit. I thought it was because I did a shitty job when I put the roof rack back on. Driver's side seat belt damp at times.

    Dead battery scrambled locks and second seat windows

    Yes. After a battery totally dead, the step were - charge the battery up (whatever method) - disconnect for four hours - reconnect. Then I had to fix the time and the compass. You really need the owner's manual to do a good job, you need to look on a map and see what magnetic zone you are...

    Dead battery scrambled locks and second seat windows

    Yes, I searched before posting. Came home last night, hit my son's bike, checked it out, and then somehow left the keys in ignition. Today battery was bone dead, so I charged it up some, started it, went to Home Depot. Rear windows wouldn't go up. both sides. Go in the back, using switch on...

    It is dopamine-inducing how perfectly 3 Plano Sportsman mediums (1719-00) fit

    Someone else posted a while ago you can replace those coat hooks with rings, its a part on the FJ Cruiser. I replaced mine. I think I have a spare set but I had to move everything around in my work room, can't find anything now. I bought them from Olathe Toyota but any online Toyota dealer...

    Yet another request for tire recommendations

    Don't have the paperwork with me but I got General Grabber somethings from Tire Rack on the OEM rims. I screwed up and got E rated instead of C rated, have not have the chance to drive them in snow, but I can say, now, when I slam on the brakes, the ABS does not kick in. I thought they were a...

    Dripping sound behind front seats driving in rain?

    I did the roof rack delete on my 2013 Trail cuz the cross bars rubbed on the lintel of the garage, bit better mpg, and it just looked sleek as sh!t. Then I had to clean up the work room where I was storing the rack and my son said it was easier to find the 4Runner with that unique rack on top...

    New AT/3s? 4s vs LT? B vs C?

    Ha ha ha - wish I would have read this thread before I bought General Grabbers in stock size and E load rating instead of C load rating. Guys at Tire Rack were like WTF. I was worried about speed rating and my daughter's lead foot. After I left Tire Rack I say oh f--k better google that, will...

    Why are the V1 5th Gen Trails so rare?

    Trails were very rare in Illinois back then.

    Just arrived at the Ports of Los Angeles

    So in 2010 I was looking at Highlanders. I'm at a dealer, and they show me two different shades of gray or silver. But then I say, but what about that one over there, there's a third shade. And the salesman says its purple. (Mica Amethyst or some sh!t like that). I walk up to it, and it looks...

    Wet Seat Belt

    Took the stock roof rack off, 4Runner out in the rain, driver's side seat belt wet. The hole goes directly thru the roof and apparently right over the seat belt roll. Also the height of the lip around the whole is less than the 'top of the canyon' so if water gets in there its going to find a...

    Just arrived at the Ports of Los Angeles

    (+3500 over 2018 Turd Pro that somehow didnt copy) Wait all this shit is true? And then a roof rack I have to remove to get the 4Runner under the non-standard garage door? Try not to laugh too hard, I was thinking of giving my daughter in college my 2013 Trail (she learned to drive with it)...
