    anyone using wheel locks ? what kind ?

    I've got a set of Toyota McGard locks that came off my 4R after I bought it. It's somewhere in my garage and you can have them. I'm over in Frisco. LMK All of my wheels got scraped up over the years, so I hope they aren't appealing for theft, LOL. Michael.

    5th Gen 4R Compared to the 2022 Explorer/Aviator - 4R 6th Gen is Here

    Toyota is the world's largest auto mfg and what I'm hearing from folks is that Toyota can only do reliability, and nothing else. That's crazy to think that. Power, fuel economy, reliability, technology all do not have to be mutually exclusive. If we keep accepting mediocrity, then Toyota will...

    gas tank to carry on roof ?

    I bought 2 10L Wavian cans to strap down on my Yakima basket. They are half the height and half the weight (when filled) of the 20L Wavian cans. The only bummer is that a 10L Wavian can costs as much as a 20L Wavian can.

    Battery thoughts

    I replaced my factory Panasonic with a Costco Interstate battery a couple of months ago. The Costco Interstate battery has a higher reserve capacity and cold-cranking amps over the factory Panasonic. IMO, it made more sense to me to get the Costco. AutoZone and O'Reilly's have the same battery...

    Real Sliders with Removable Steps?

    I've got the N-Fab RKR Rails on mine. I used to take the steps off before going camping or off roading, but I don't bother anymore, and since then I've scraped & bent a couple of the steps while coming down on rocks. They're pretty damn resilient, yet designed to be more sacrificial over other...

    Viair 88p or 400p-auto?

    I've used the 300P for a few years now. I wish I got the 400P-Auto, because it's becoming annoying to have to walk to the compressor, turn it off, walk back to wheel & disconnect, walk to next wheel & connect, walk to compressor, turn it on, lather, rinse, repeat 3 more times. 88P will work...

    The MOST CRAPTASTIC Windshields Ever: More 5th Gen Butthurt

    Get a bug/rock deflector on the hood, then get windshield protection film. 50k on my 4R, and I've had a bug/rock deflector and windshield film (on the inside for UV heat reduction) since day one. My windshield got nailed by a decent sized rock a few days ago traveling home on I-40 and it left...

    Entune USB Relocation

    I have this one installed in my 2018 where the factory USB+Aux one is (you can probably see my Amazon review). It is a snug fit, but it works great.
