    Pedal commander vs Sprint booster?

    I posted this question in the wrong Sprint Booster thread... should have posted in this thread..... Backstory: My 2014 Limited was stolen out of my driveway. Either they got the key code via my VIN and address, or they used some other method that avoided forced entry. Anyone who's had their...

    Victory 4x4 Molle Panel Install

    ^ Thanks! Makes sense to use the cargo net tie-down as the anchor point as there is already a big screw under it — but unlike the panels from other manufacturers, the Victory moves the tie-down to the bracket so it can still be used..... that’s great.

    Sprint Booster DEAL for 5th Gen 4Runner

    My 2014 Limited was stolen out of my driveway. Either they got the key code via my VIN and address, or they used some other method that avoided forced entry. Anyone who's had their vehicle stolen knows the paranoia lingers and never really goes away, once it's happened to you. Now I have a...

    Victory 4x4 Molle Panel Install

    Likely unintentional, but you've cropped out the lower left attachment point in literally every pic. Different molle panel makers have addressed the offset in that spot using different solutions (for example, Rago angles the panel itself and uses a long cylindrical spacer). It'd be nice to...

    Magnetic Grey 4Runners! Lets see them!

    I used them on my ProComp's. Try Gorilla Automotive hubcentric rings -- I bought mine through Amazon. Also, be aware they're fragile, mine came broken (snapped in half) so they sent me a new set. My 2 cents: many high-speed vibrations on lug-centric installs are caused by lack of centricity on...

    For Sale: Limited rims and tires (all-season tires)

    Three years (60,000 km's) so still have some life in them. These are the 5th Gen 20" Limited wheels with the factory Geolanders. I'm hoping for a local GTA sale, I'm in west Toronto (Etobicoke). Asking $SOLD for a quick sale.

    Rear Liftgate Struts Blown

    My 2015 Limited is at 65,000km and the liftgate struts just now failed. The strange thing (to me) is they were working fine last night when I came home and unloaded some things, then this morning I could hardly lift the gate. So in my case they went literally overnight, with no warning of...

    AARRGGHH!! Driving Disaster! What to do?

    Heat it up before you push it out, either a hairdryer or a heat gun, then it won't look so bad and you can take your time to consider your options.

    ISIS and their Toyota pickups

    The Middle East has appreciated the ruggedness and reliability of Toyota trucks for decades, long before the current situation -- same thing in Africa and other regions with rough roads and brutal terrain. If some people think there's any connection between Toyota and terrorists deeper than...

    Custom Toyota Windshield Visor

    Not digging the font but love the concept. I just did a 15% tint and my inner mall ninja so badly wanted a 15% top windshield banner to get that M1 Abrams feel. Then practicality slapped me in the head and I passed... for now....

    How To: DIY ($15) Gobi Hi-Lift Mounts

    Awesome! But IMO the wingnuts scream "steal me". Maybe there's an easy way to lock it that could double as a backup safety measure....

    Question for 4wd Limited Owners

    I notice very little (if any) mileage or tire-wear penalty with my Limited compared to a friend with an SR5, and I assume this is because the (default) H4F setting was specifically engineered to maximize mileage and minimize tire wear on pavement. In the winter I sometimes switch to H4L on...

    Calling all armchair engineers and physicists

    I recently did 15% ceramic on driver and passenger, then 30% over the factory rear glass. I love it like crazy. It didn't occur to me to do the sunroof because I hardly ever use it, and when I do it's for air not light, so it's either fully closed or fully open. But for folks who like to...

    That is the OEM deflector from Toyota.
