    6th Gen Must be Coming Out of Japan

    - sorry - not on the forum enough! Ford had multiple delays and stoppages... not just due to "normal" supply constraints. I think at the time I was referring to the MIC top that was "recalled" before it ever really hit stride in production - sending thousands of Broncos to "Dirt Mountain" to...

    2000 4runner for sale on Craigslist

    Hahahahaa!! Someone might. We loved out 3rd gen, but the 5th gen is better. I might own a 3rd gen beater... but this particular 4runner is not a thing yet. It's pretty, the 5th gen is better on road and off - the 3rd gen just had that immediate (small) feel... where you were right at the...

    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    eh - yesterday. Helped a lady stranded on the ice on a hill. I was - heading out to the store while simultaneously taking my daughter along so that she could get some seat-time feel for how a vehicle handles on snow and ice. We didn't get out of the neighborhood before I new we had to go...

    6th Gen Must be Coming Out of Japan

    At the present time, I don't believe the Bronco is an actual threat to the 4runner. They cannot do anything right over there. We have a '16 Limited 4runner, and I had a July 14th 2020 reservation on a Bronco. I cancelled in March - when it became overwhelmingly evident that the launch was...

    6th Gen Steering Wheel

    You don't want your hand anywhere inside the steering wheel circle. Should someone cut you off or a freak accident happen where that airbag deploys before you can move your hands, and you'll have mush for forearms and wrists. Under, over, outside... never inside.

    Upgrade to 2021 or wait

    We have a '16 Limited, and may move to a GX next purchase - even if it is a '19 or '20 GX instead of new. TBH, right off the bat, I changed wheels and tires to 18" with Michelin defender LTX... I think they are 32.5" diameter. Waaaay more sidewall. That limited rode like a wild west wagon...

    Anyone else dislike the autodimming rear mirror?

    Thread review. We bought a 2016 limited - new in 2016. I don't think I've ever seen the mirror dim, and it drives me nuts. Those of you that have one, do you hear or see yours dim? If so, ours has never worked. Day/night - it's always the same. The green light does indicate power, but I...

    You think the Apple CarPlay Radio will mount into the 5th gen?

    Question: Where did you put the Alpine microphone? - I want to do this, but I want it to look factory and neat and clean. Do you mind posting a wider angle shot? -thanks-

    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    I pulled the 4runner up to the Mailbox, in the snow, and pulled THESE out! - Thankful for David @ Cornfed. The rear spacers came labeled and sized up to take out the lean. Pumped to get the install done. - Haven't decided whether I'm going to do it or have a shop do it. If anyone knows a...

    Newbie to 4WD Snow Driving Questions

    Here in Nashville, the roads were covered this morning, and it is COLD. Stay away from other folks (home) is good advice. All the brine will melt everything a little bit this afternoon as the temps are up close to 20. It will refreeze as the sun sets, and tonight will be nasty. Also - all...

    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    Family road trip to Asheville - The 275/65/18 Michelin LTXs make a night and day difference from the 245/60/20 stock geolanders.
