Thanks to all for your well-considered opinions, pro and con. You've convinced me of one thing: I want to keep my 4Runner.:D So now, I'm trying to decide whether I can get rid of my 94 truck and my wife's 2000 Passat wagon in exchange for the Tundra Rock Warrior. Pros = 2 awesome rock-solid...

Hi all, Here's the deal, I have a beautiful 09 Limited V8 with 40K on the clock, AND i still own my rusty, trusty '94 Toyota 4x4 truck. With my wife's car, that's three vehicles. Right now, there's a '12 Tundra Rock Warrior (extended cab, not crew) edition on my local craigslist. I'm...

Man, your Runner looks GREAT! Good job. I need to work up my courage to start modding. -Raj

Hi all, I'm the proud and happy owner of a 2008 Limited - Nautical Blue with 35K miles on it. I picked it up just under two weeks ago. Only mods so far have been Weathertech liners (on order) and a car seat! I've been working through the manual pretty carefully, and reading this site when I...

This is a good question. I just bought a 08 Limited, and while shopping last week, I noticed that all of the cars I was looking at (4th Gen) had terrible rust on the grill mounting bolts. Not sure that it's a critical issue, but I'd certainly like to swap them out for something...

OK! Thank you all for your help! We went with the 08 Limited V8 in Nautical Blue - 35,000K on the clock. Looks like it was garaged, tires look fantastic, all very clean. An added plus for me, it was rigged for trailer brakes. Oddly, the hitch showed little or no wear, so I don't think it was...

Great responses from everyone - thanks! Keep 'em coming if you got 'em, please. I'm also interested in people's takes on good "out the door" prices on the cars. (since I'll be negotiating tomorrow) I will have some KBB / Edmunds information on hand. I also have access to consumer reports...

Hi all, So, I have a tough choice to make tomorrow - I'm driving up to look at two 4Runners, and I'd like to come home with one of them. Here are my choices: 2011 Trail, Silver, 13K on the clock, individual seller asking $36,500. KDSS and NAV options. (Still under warranty!) 2008 Limited...

This looks so good that it makes me want to buy a trail just to do this. (not that I didn't want one already.) :) -Raj

Awesome! Let us know how the install goes! Can't wait to see the finished pics!! Raj

Now I'm even more confused! I thought that's what the XREAS system did. SO, is KDSS like XREAS with added option of disengaging the linkage when desired?

forgive the naive question, but - If you have a TE without KDSS does it have the upgraded sway bars - or will it pretty much handle like a stock SR5? Thanks, -Raj

Nice Mods and great truck. You've almost got me considering getting the Limited. Can you share more about your experiences with the AFE CAI?

Hi all, Been lurking for a while - thought I'd introduce myself. Currently, I'm waiting for all of the pieces to fall into place before I pick up a 4Runner TE. NONE appear to be available in the local area, BTW. I'm buying the 4Runner because we have a daughter (now 2yrs old) and we have...

Love the Rhino Liner idea. Looks great - and I suppose you don't have to worry about glare off the hood anymore. :) Please let us know how it holds up to the elements / bird poop, etc. :thumb3: -Raj
