    Xreas replaced under warranty

    Hey everyone. Had a leak in both front shocks and have the platinum warranty. The dealer wanted to just replace both front, but I was able to talk to Toyota financial and convince them that xreas had to be replaced all-or-nothing. They reached out to the dealer and all 4 shocks were replaced...

    Lights Flashing - ABS, Brake, Traction, 4Lo

    Check that your tailgate is closed properly. I've had that dashboard lighting up and beeping due to that. I know it's been over a week, but sometimes I go that long without opening it (other than the glass).

    6th Gen 4Runner Predictions!

    Hopefully the 6th gen never happens. Then all of ours become "vintage" and skyrocket in resale value.

    8-10 Beeps when touching handle

    For future reference and "searchers" I found that the multiple beeping when unlocking using the smart handle was to signal that one of the door lock actuators was failing. Sometimes it beeped, sometimes it didn't. I realize now that my passenger side actuator was in the process of dying and...

    8-10 Beeps when touching handle

    Sure. I did read that one. That is purposefully holding down both buttons on the remote so that a lock / unlock customization is toggled. I even tried it and saw how it worked, but it still didn't work with the beeping. Randomly, when I hold the handle to unlock (not the remote), the 4R beeps...

    8-10 Beeps when touching handle

    I searched....I promise! I even looked in the manual. But I couldn't find an answer for this. I read about the partially open door, or the spare key inside, the open moonroof, etc ... but none of those apply in my case. With the smart key in my pocket, when I grab either driver or passenger...

    4Runner Startup/Display Off Images

    Save your image in the "Off" folder mentioned in the instructions. Then following the same steps, set it as the Screen Off image (not the startup image). By doing that, the screen goes through the default startup image and warning and then displays your custom image constantly for the duration...

    Key Detected In Vehicle

    Liftgate is probably not shut This freaked me out when I first got the 4R. Turned out that the liftgate was latched but not correctly shut. When you brake, accelerate, drive over bumps, etc that sensor is triggered. I wonder why it displays that strange message as opposed to "liftgate open".

    20 inch wheels on LIMITED

    Well for option 2, you also need to factor in the sale of your 20" wheels. I also have a 2014 LE and I sold my set of 20" wheels and tires on Craigslist for $1,000 when they had about 7,000 miles on them. Now, yours are older but you can still get some nice $$$ for those big wheels. I ended up...

    My Vanity Plate has arrived and some classic Taco guys are going to be pissed.

    The best vanity plates I've ever seen were on a pickup...they were 3JOH22A Seemed harmless when you were following him, but when he tailgated you the mirror image was hilarious.

    Things you did not know about your 4runner

    I'm glad I found this! Now I can stop yelling at my kids everytime they impatiently yank on the locked door handles. Very easy fix. Now when I touch the driver door's sensor, all doors unlock at once. T4R.org succesfully improving father/son relationships.

    Can you post a full size picture of the front? I want to see how the chrome pieces look in graphite vs black.
