    Extended/Permanent Vacation

    1engineer, I'm very bummed to read this. May your next ride have a 75 and sunny button. Happy trails.

    Bluetooth/Nav problem fixed... not sure how

    So, my bluetooth and nav stopped working a while back for no clear reason. I had searched the forum and nothing was an exact match to my problem, though a few people had the same bluetooth issues (none with nav as well, though). To be clear, this wasn't a disconnect or pairing issue. I had two...

    Trail wheels "better" than TRD Pro wheels?

    The trail wheel has a little recessed slot to protect the tire valve. Small detail, but worth noting in the direct comparison.

    Things you did not know about your 4runner

    I use this all the time. It is great being able to make a phone call and come back to the radio with it having automatically paused and recorded up to 30 minutes of stuff allowing me to fast forward through commercials. So so so so so helpful for avoiding the really bad sports radio commercials...

    Cabin Noise - LTD vs Trail?

    The front end of the limited is different. I think it has an air dam and all that stuff designed to decrease wind resistance. That COULD have an impact... maybe. That said, I have a trail with AT tires and have been very pleased with the cabin noise (or lack thereof).

    Texas 4Runner owners

    Houston Med Center here. First time owner. Bought new 16 months ago and have logged 35k miles of damn good times all in stock form. It supports all of my favorite outdoor habits. I love this vehicle.

    My wife named my TEP

    My wife named ours Dakota. We have no relation to the Dakotas. We have never been to the Dakotas. We don't know anybody named Dakota. But I'll be damned...

    My 4Runner Will Be @ Houston Auto Show

    I'm not sure I saw yours there yesterday. I saw a tforce 4runner with the Toyotas and a monstrosity of a 4 runner near the off road courses... I also saw a pretty classic Jeep Cherokee fail ON THE JEEP COURSE! We got there right when it got stuck and I got the rest on video. I'm no mechanic...

    Xterra discontinued after 2015... Good for 4Runner... Thoughts...

    If anything, this just makes the 4runner more expensive next year. Less competition for the seller. What a bummer. Resale value between the 4runner and the Xterra just made the answer so clear to me. I use the hell out of my 4runner and hope to run it into the ground, but every once in a while...

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

    40 psi was noticeably harsher for me on these crappy Houston roads. It wasn't bad, but I am not sure I know the benefit of higher PSI unless I am loaded up. If anything, I feel like it is just harder on the truck, but what do I know? 35 is where I leave mine and it feels a lot like the P ride.

    Callings opinions - The most beautiful places of the USA and Canada

    1engineer That is very gracious of you. The white water thought is a good one. That is one outdoor activity we have not done together and we really should. A long vacation makes it ideal. Kayaking the Outer Banks is another on the to-do. JayceeP brought up Gross Morne National Park and that is...
