I’ll give the Rain-X coating a try. I’ve used it on other vehicles in the past and it is a good product

Does anybody else feel the same way? My 4Rnr is 2013 and only has 17k miles. The wipers are in good shape, but I just feel like they don’t do a good job. To be fair, I do live in south Louisiana and it’s only a problem during a torrential downpour. They work fine the majority of the time, but...

I certainly appreciate the offer, but I can get them brand new on Amazon for $100. Cross Bars for 2010-2012 SR5 and Limited Toyota 4Runner Roof Rack-NEW OEM : Amazon.com : Automotive I don't have anything specfic that I want to haul on the roof of the truck. I really just want the abilty to...

I checked the sticker and under "Standard Equipment , Exterior"..it says "Chrome Roof Rails" and no other mention of the rack at all. So, I guess they are not supposed to be on mine. Personally, I think this a cheap, somewhat shady move on Toyota's part to install the rack, but force the...

I'll check the sticker, that's a good idea. I have heard of dealer's robbing things off of new vehicles on the lots. But the idea is that there supposed to replace it. It's normally small things like this. If they sell a $40k vehicle and realize at the last min that it is missing floor mats or...

My 2013 SR5 came with the factory roof rack and no cross bars. I noticed that it did not have the cross bars installed within a couple days of buying the truck. I assumed this was extra and sold as an accessory. That was about 4 months ago. So, in a nut shell, did yours come with the cross bars...

I'm leaning more towards a restoration project. Possible small lift but the goal would be to make it look like it did new. I'm not against wheeling or having dedicated rigs for it. I've had my share of 4x4's but the off-road scene is not great in south Louisiana. Off-road here basicly means "mud...

Well, thats not the answer I was hoping for, but I appreciate the info. That Toyota Fiber Glass place seems decent for exterior and the prices seem pretty fair.

Hello All! I'm new to the Toyota world, but not the 4x4 world. I have been strongly considering building a 1st Gen (if I can ever find one). My project would be more of a restoration than a dedicated wheeler. So, just thinking ahead about how possible this is, are there any reproduction or OEM...

Thanks for the welcome. I like how actie this forum is. I was on a GM truck forum years ago that had a lot of members and then just died in a few years time. I may well need to look outisde Louisiana for a 1st Gen. It does look like there are some as close as Texas, but only a few in the deep...

I'e been poking around the forum for a couple weeks and decided to finally create an account. I own a 2013 4Runner, SR5 2wd. I bought it as a grocery getter for my wife and growing family, I was impressed with the quality of the Toyota and the fact that it was one of few "real" trucks left out...
