No idea on that. But I'd bet if you call OME they can tell you exactly what you need. I'd say it's probably 99% likely that they have a few parts to swap over. Or you could just drill them out with a 12mm drill bit if not.

Sure. I'm 6'3" and pretty thin (about 200lbs). (The only reason I mention weight is that it does affect head height in a seat - heavier people will have more cushion under them when sitting and end up sitting higher up than someone with less built in cushion :) )

FWIW - old thread, but I had family in town who rented a 6th gen limited non-hybrid for about 2 weeks and I got to spend some time driving it in a few conditions. Overall - there's a lot to like about the powertrain IMO. It's quiet, smoother than the 1GR, more similar in power feel than I...

Best bet is to find a place under an underpass or a big tree to hide - or a gas station, car wash, bank, or ??? If you know it's comming you might even be able to call around to local storage unit places or anywhere with a cover to see if you can rent a spot cheap for a day. If that's not...

This is from the edge of the Knik glacier in southwest Alaska. Although I do love Lima - sister's husband is from Lima. Hard to tell with the low res upload, but it's a glacier in the middle of the background. It's 22 miles each way from the trailhead, so a bit of a long day trip out to the...

Yeah. Toyota waited so F'n long to update the BOF models they literally missed an entire generation of buyers going through the phase in life that they were buying heavily into an adventure outdoor lifestyle. It's kind of remarkable just how slow Toyota was to act on the new generation. Maybe it...

Not mine. Just happened to take this pic out on an adventure this weekend. If it's yours, LMK and I'll send you the full size file. I was out in my Tundra.

I think you're right. I think the market price will end up right around invoice. Maybe that's on purpose? I'm seeing some pretty crazy price cuts on the Bronco right now. I just saw an ad for $15k off a Bronco Raptor and the dealer says they have 6 of them on the lot. That's a big change. And...

There are still some of the first run April 2024 LC250's still sitting on lots. They aren't moving at MSRP.

FWIW - it appears adding MTS to the SR5 is just a $130 switch swap. At least for one Tacoma user. A few others said that it didn't work when they plugged it in. Adding MTS and Crawl Control to a TRD Sport - EASY! | 2024 Tacoma Forum (4th Gen) News, Specs, Models - 2.4L, Hybrid, TRD Pro...

Toyota is really killing the 4Runner with these marketing choices. They're entirely illogical to me. The offroad features do not require integration with the interior comfort features and have essentially no physical relationship. Why then force customers into random features tied together? Why...

I edited my post - I assumed the SDM was standard on TRD OR models since it's not on the option list. No. It's not even available except for the TRD Pro and Trailhunter trims. WTH?? Lost KDSS and now SDM isn't even an option except at $70k price point. I can't see much justification for buying...

The SR5 is maybe the only one I think may sell anywhere close to MSRP after the first influencer rush. $49k for a TRD OR is still unreasonable to me. I can buy a LC250 1958 for $52-53K. And that's a hybrid with awd and a better body configuration. Seems like the TRD OR needs to end up around $45...

FWIW - All of the new BOF models are sitting a long time on dealer lots. Market price for a LC250 1958 is now around $52k. I'd guess we'll see the 4Runner at least $5k under MSRP within a year or less. It's significanly overpriced. You can buy a Bronco 4 door for $37k new right now. For $55k...

Have you tested for blow by - basically open the oil fill plug, put a rubber glove over it, see if it inflates while running. If not - that tends to point away from rings and toward valves. Excessive blow by could result in more oil burning via the EGR system. I would personally start with a...
