    Shifting issues

    Got an appointment Wednesday, it is under factory drivetrain warranty still. I’ve just never seen one go bad on the 5th gens and can’t find anything by searching. Which is great, and a big reason I love these trucks. It’s my second one. But anything mechanical could go a million miles with no...

    Shifting issues

    2014 Trail Premium, 41,500 miles About 2 weeks ago the truck started shifting a little slow. Figured it was just the cold, it’s be a constant 20 below for a while. Now it’s to the point where it’s slipping pretty good, RPM’s are coming up, then it’ll drop to normal. If I slow to 5-10 mph then...

    Off Road, or Off Road Premium?

    I went with the Trail Premium, the big selling points for me were the KDSS and sunroof. KDSS is where it’s at imo, I’ve driven a couple others without and I can definitely tell the difference. Much more stable on the street/highway, flexes great on the trails. Pretty sure it’s only offered on...

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

    Vermont uses so much salt on the roads it gets everywhere. And it lasts for 5-6 months... Even with the weathertech mats, it seeps in and builds up under the carpets. I love my truck and don't plan on getting rid of it. I'm all about preventative maintenance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Not at all. It keeps out moisture if you do it right. It's the prep work that makes all the difference Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Gutted the interior, sanded down and rolled in the bedliner. Don't want it to rot from the inside out. Gotta love these trucks, everything's super easy to remove and re-install. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Off Road (Trail) Edition wheels and tires on 2017 LE

    If you're looking for stock size and not have to do any modification, the TE/SR5's come with 265/70R17. They'll fit just fine and shouldn't throw the speedo off at all. As far as what the LE's have for tire monitoring, not sure about that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    4runner just came out of the car wash and black rubber strip hanging

    Same thing used to happen on mine. The double sided adhesive does the trick like FrenchToasty said. I'm still debating whether to just take them out, it grabs a lot of junk in there and would make it easier to keep clean

    Bilstein 5100 - .85 Pic`s

    2014 TPE w/ 5100's all around, .85 front setting I love the ride with these, feels a lot more stable and it did get rid of some of the front end dive when braking. It has KDSS as well. No other mods done, tires are 275/70-17 KO2's and I only get a little rub at full lock on a hard bump. I also...
