    I'm done with AT Tires

    Rather like saying " I have a gun and never shoot it, so why should I bother with ammunition?" If you off-road, mud terrains are the appropriate tire. If you need to compromise due to wet or icy roads, all-terrains are the compromise. I can't see why someone would run minivan tires on a 4x4.

    TAIL lights, not BRAKE lights, if you want to light the dash when the lights are on.

    How to disable tpms in a 5th gen 4runner

    I had a nearly identical experience a few weeks ago with my 2019 during a 200 mile trip. It was colder than normal - maybe that chilled a TPMS battery or something. I added a few pounds of air, the light went off, but it came back on after a few minutes of driving. Went solid each time...

    I'm done with AT Tires

    Agreed - I ran with the Falken ATs for 18 months, before giving up on them and shifting to KM3s on my daily driver. Because on those occasions when I do go offroad, I don't like being stuck. And since 3 peak doesn't matter, no reason not to go all the way, right?

    Patches on the Ceiling

    If the patch already has velcro, just press it into the headliner - they stick. Until they drop. Then repeat.

    tire pressure question

    Switching sizes or from P to LT can get complicated, and the door label is no longer the best way to go. Try Tire Pressure Calculator

    Awning mount ideas?

    So many pop ups and ads

    Switch to the Brave browser, use the Shields setting to set Tracker and Add Blocking to aggressive, and you won't see ads. Even during Youtube videos.

    Brake upgrades

    I've been running the Powerbrake setup on my front brakes for a little over a year now. No issues. If you go that way, make sure you retain the dust shields behind the rotors - they need to be cut to fit the new calipers, but you need them as a spacer to ensure proper centering of the calipers...

    4runner sales double the Bronco

    If I wanted a Bronco I'd wait - they are only going to get better. If I wanted a 4Runner I would buy now - they are only going to get worse.

    Going Bigger - 5th Gen Tire Fitment Guide

    A 20" wheel with a better tire makes sense in snow, or on gravel roads. There is no hard line between road and off-road... groomed gravel roads are just roads, while forest service roads are a continuum from groomed gravel to bumpy adventure. But for anything where I'd want to air down, for...

    I wouldn't run a 20" wheel off road.

    Doors are automatically unlocking UPDATE : mystery SOLVED

    I posted the comment because it is possible to install an add a fuse backwards, and it can lead to odd issues. In my case, it resulted in taillight issues whenever the rear 12V socket was in use.

    Doors are automatically unlocking UPDATE : mystery SOLVED

    By any chance, do you have an add-a-fuse plugged into the footwell fuse box? If so, doublecheck everything for plugs, correct orientation, etc.
