    What are this strange electrical connectors on the driver side for?

    Those are not factory. Looks like the PO wanted to hook something up but didnt own a multimeter. RIP

    GOBI ladder on a 10 year old 4Runner.....

    It took longer to make this thread than it would be to swap out for new hatch struts. Just get new heavy duty struts

    Thinking out loud (new 5th gen vs...GX?)

    The same engine has been in the LS500 since 2018. It's also been a flop in the new tundra where they are suffering from turbo and bearing failures, similar to the LS500. The same transmission has been found to perform poorly in the new LX600 and LC300. People in the LC300 have been experiencing...

    Thinking out loud (new 5th gen vs...GX?)

    Premium is not available in all of AK. Nor is it available in all of YK. But I'd bet it'll run on regular, or whatever is in the tank, just detuned. Modern engine management is able to handle detonation from lower fuel quality. As far as snow, it's fine. It's not any different than a NA vehicle

    Thinking out loud (new 5th gen vs...GX?)

    Im contemplating selling my 2020 orp and picking up a GX but there are a few things that are holding me back. However I am not sure if the gx is actually worth the additional ~30k when I already have the 4runner. Maybe if it came with a front locker and the new sway bar disconnect I would feel...

    Some improvements Toyota should make regarding the keyless entry system and physical

    The key is the lamest, cheapest feeling key I've ever had. As far as the button for keyless entry, no. Those buttons are hideous and feel cheap. The touch sensor work great for other makes. Toyota just has a really hard time with software

    2023 Off-road Premium 4WD shift?

    its a pretty simple shift pattern. Most people probably aren't looking at it while shifting

    Body Shop or Auto Detailer?

    The fender liners will also come out. Let the tar remover soak. Heat also helps if you have a steamer

    Inspired Overland Swaybar Feedback

    I'm with this guy. I don't see the point of stiffer sway bars a 4runner.

    The venerable A750 (and A760)

    There are plenty of threads on these transmissions here and in the Facebook groups. They aren't infallible

    Redarc Tow Pro Elite on a '16 Opinions?

    All 4runners have a factory tow package consisting of a receiver, a trailer harness hookup, and a plug for a trailer brake controller

    Redarc Tow Pro Elite on a '16 Opinions?

    I just installed one on my 2020. Have not used it yet but install is a breeze. If you spend extra to get the toyota switch bezel, the wiring harness, and the mounting bracket install will take about 20 minutes.

    Retired and Ordering 2023 would like your thoughts

    Since you don't do any off-roading and do a bunch of highway miles I'd recommend you buy literally anything else than a 5th gen 4runner.
