    Audio Upgrade?

    TacoTunes also has a system that integrates in with the factory head unit. Just about anything is an upgrade over the factory stuff. I'm running JL Audio: Fr to R - 3.5, 6x9, 6.5, 6.5, 2x 8" (w3's, have a single 10 in the works). It'd be much better with an aftermarket head unit for sure, but a...

    Just bought a new 4runner and.......

    Hate to see it happen, but the Runner did its job of keeping you (and passengers?) safe! I'm a little curious what the verdict will be for insurance.

    Tired of Searching Tires

    5thToy is on the nose with it. They used to be US/Japan but Thailand has been added to the list in the last few years

    Tired of Searching Tires

    I'll always point people in the direction of the Falken Wildpeak AT3W now. I've had 285/70-17 E-load for 63k miles. As far as wear, they look like they only have a fraction of that mileage. They're quiet on the road and I've never been stuck in mud, sand, or snow.

    Manly Horn

    I've also made the mistake of leaving the key in my pocket and accidentally setting off the 4R's alarm...scared the crap out of the neighborhood kids that were outside playing across the street, they all went back inside with "it wasn't me!" looks on their faces

    Manly Horn

    All I had to do was cut the factory horn connector off, the one RIGHT at the horn, and put a female spade connector on to hook it up to the new relay. I've got it mounted sort of in the original location, in front of the condenser core.

    Manly Horn

    I've had this one for a couple of years now. Bought it because I'd been run off the road twice in one week and even laying on the puny factory horn, the other person seemed oblivious. I've got it hooked up to function with the horn button (steering wheel) and is even loud enough to get the...

    Digital instrument cluster

    It LOOKS great, but the spelling/grammar on the site makes me question the actual product.

    Roof Maintenance

    I cleaned the roof really well and had it wrapped before the rack went on.

    What kind of mileage are you guys getting from your 5th Gens?

    Given I've got steel all the way around and on top, ~4" total lift (suspension/body), 33's...on average I'm high 14's to 16.5 Drove up to my parents house this past weekend and "hypermiled" (speeding up downhill and *mostly* coasting uphill) managed to squeeze 17.6mpg. Tried the same thing...

    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    Put the 4R to work...made progress on my 66 Chevy and hauled the bed down to its new location. That bed will become mobile beer taps for a restaurant! I know, I know, it's not *exactly* 4R related...but the Chevy is getting a full frame-off resto with a little bit of modernization (disk brakes...

    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    After 3 years of going to the website, adding it to my cart, and never buying it...I FINALLY got the roof vinyl wrapped and the rack installed! edit: picture came out looking a little funky, but it'll work, y'all know what you're looking at (hopefully)

    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    I didn't have that much luck. It was about 100mi round trip but it also didn't seem to decrease mpg either. The guys that helped me load the thing up though seemed rushed and I wasn't able to keep it from sliding across the front of the roof. Left some pretty good scratches. Hoping to buff...

    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    Picked up a canoe and 2 kayaks (already took the yaks out obviously) to go cruising down a local creek tomorrow.
