    Toyota parts discount code now through July7

    I just ordered the hood protector in smoke. Great deal. Thanks OP for sharing that code.

    Not impressed with Nav/Entune

    Is there a version number of the Entune software somewhere hidden in the menus? If so, what's the latest version we should be running? I've got a 4-week old 2013 TE and just want the latest I'm supposed to have. Thanks.

    Hellamatic -- what window rain gutters/deflectors did you put on? The stick-on kind or the in-channel kind? Curious as to your choice and the performance you are seeing. Thanks!

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

    I understand the hood scoop on the TE is ornamental and not a true hood scoop in the traditional sense. While I'll agree that some air will likely (naturally) flow into the engine compartment via the TE's scoop, I'm not sure if it will be enough to affect the insulation mounting or performance.

    Nice job Willy. If there's not a forum writeup on that, I'd love to do that too. As for me -- my Monday playtime in the sand really got my TE dirtier than I thought. Sand and sand dust in and all over the rig. Nasty business. Full interior detail with quick exterior wash in SF before work today.

    For my 2-day old 4R TE, a couple small steps. Stick-on mirrors. SCUBA dive flag sticker.

    I did it - new 2013 4R TE w/ KDSS in Shoreline Blue here

    BobsTrail, thanks for the tip. Will try to check that out. WVBeachGuy, yes -- Entune with Navigation. Also, made my first (mini) mod: little round stick-on mirrors.

    2013 Trailtest drive--underpowered?

    I'm a 2-day old 2013 TE owner who traded in an 2005 Acura RL. I drove from San Francisco to LA Friday, and LA to San Diego yesterday -- my ride has less than 700 miles on it right now. I agree with everyone -- the power is there but the sweet spot is higher in the RPM band. Loaded with four...

    Thanks everyone. Rigtec, thanks for seeing both posts. It's very nice to be here. I'm itching to do some light trail work tomorrow in northern San Diego, not too far off the I-5. Any ideas anyone? ;) This place: San Diego County, California - Dirtopia, the Off-Road Encyclopedia, didn't seem...

    Bit the bullet: 13 T4R TE w/KDSS Shoreline Blue

    After months of research on Jeeps, LandRovers, etc., I negotiated, closed, and drove off in a new 2013 4Runner Trail Edition with KDSS in Shoreline Blue Pearl. Drove from the Bay Area down to LA for the Memorial Day weekend to spend with family -- and tried hard to follow the right path for...
