avy shovel I carry an avalanche shovel too. I figure if the ground is too hard to dig with an aluminum avy shovel, I've probably got traction anyway. These are light and the handle telescopes/comes off, so I can put it in my tool bag. In winter it's usually on my backpack already.

multiple airtags I've installed multiple airtags in my 4R, with speakers removed to make them hard to find. One is hidden somewhere that a thief might look and find it, which hopefully makes them think it's then untraceable and they don't look for the other (which is very well hidden someplace...

Relay What you're looking to do is just what relays are meant for; using a low power source to switch a larger power source. In this case, you'd run a dedicated line from the battery to power the cooler, and put a relay in the hot/feed wire that's triggered by one of the lower power sources. So...

There are holes if you remove the silver valance, you could paint yours or replace it with an aftermarket black one from 4RunnerLifestyle or other sources.

Great service Update: Mtn States service dept has been great. I've had the truck in twice now to correct wheel & tire issues that were no fault of Toyota's (swapped wheels and tires elsewhere, didn't go so well), and they were great - fast and solved issues at no cost to me. They are busy so...

FS: front badge blackout overlay, 5th gen, $10 Denver, CO 5th gen front grille badge blackout overlay, new OEM Toyota $10 picked up, $15 shipped Denver, CO I bought a full blackout kit from Toyota and this is extra from the set as I don’t have a front badge anymore.

Awesome, thanks!

Has anyone used the Meso Customs kit which reorients the vol and track buttons on the 5th gen steering wheel? Saw this offered by 4Runner Lifestyle, and like others I’d prefer the volume buttons be up/down and the track ones left/right. The kit makes that possible which I’d like, but am also...

Guide book You may want to look into getting a copy of the Guide to Colorado Backroads & 4-Wheel Drive Trails, I've got one and it has some really good looking stuff around Colorado Springs. Very detailed and well organized book, though note that this version only covers areas south of I-70...

super organized That's really neat and well organized! I wish I could pull that off, but between three vehicles and a motorcycle, plus yard equipment and general construction tools (saws etc) it's hard to do.

good informative thread This is a useful thread, I'll definitely keep an eye on it for real world experience assistance when I go to pick out my next set of tires

I just bought a NOCO pack myself, do you have any experience with yours actually jumping vehicles, or just as an aux charger for accessories?

These center caps seem to be coming back into stock - my local parts dealer didn’t have them on hand when I ordered, but got them for me in less than a week. They mentioned that the availability is improving.

I got an ORP in October at January’s MSRP (mid year increases taken off) and without any docs fees.
