Nice setup! Very clean! Question for those in the know: Are there any front hitch setups available for the Limited version?

I would take some tape and outline the area to protect the surrounding paint. Then take a heat gun (low heat) or blow dryer (medium heat) and wave it over the sticker for about 15 seconds (keep them both moving). Then take a pencil eraser and rub off the sticker. That's why the tape is...

One of the most overlooked source of an engine whine are belt pulley bearings. I don't know how many you have, but generally there is one for the alternator pulley, A/C pulley and perhaps a third general pulley that route the belts. New pulleys with the bearings preinstalled are generally not...

I would agree that injecting Seafoam into the cylinder head is probably not a good idea, but with some exceptions: -Older, high mileage engines. -2-stokes, such as dirt bikes, outboards, etc. -Turbo engines as they tend to run richer than most. But only after the engines are 8-10 years old...

Great pictures! Keep them coming! I'm a 4R wannabe so no pics to share :(

As a hopeful future 6th gen owner, I am praying they continue the 4runner DNA with BoF as well as bring back the V8 as an option with the torsion AWD system. An Atkinson 4.2--4.4L V8 with ~ 340lbs of torque would be sweet. Don't have much interest in the V6 at least based on the test ride I...

Thanks for the feedback on towing. As a prospective 4R buyer and sailboat owner, towing is an important consideration. I used to have an '05 4runner Sport Edition AWD with the 4.7l V8. Loved that truck...should never have sold it. It towed utility trailers with dirt bikes and my 2K lb boat...

I am a new member, but no stranger to either the 4runner or LC. Came close to buying a 2 yr old 2013 LC w/ 28K miles last year, but just couldn't pull the trigger. I could afford it, but a couple of things prevented me from the purchase: 1.) The cost--the extra appx $20K (used prices)...
