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

    Limited Aftermarket Tire Sizing

    I have a similar story: 2013 Limited, removed XREAS, added 3 inch Toytec lift, switched to 265/70/17 Cooper AT3's on OEM trail rims. As with the poster above, I would estimate 0.5 to 1 mpg decrease. Current avg mpg is 18.1 mpg. I second some of the others - I would not install the 285's...

    Things you did not know about your 4runner

    I have noted that improper torquing of the lug nuts will cause a minor vibration. After a tire rotation by the shop I felt a steering vibration. I retorqued my lug nuts in the specific order (variation of the old 'star pattern' for symmetrical lugs) from the manual and it went away. For...

    Things you did not know about your 4runner

    There is an amusing/morbid story about the necessity for the lower airbags. In the mid 90's there was an "apparent" increase in the amount lower leg/ankle injuries cataloged by the IIHS. It actually turned out that if the patients were turning up DOA from upper body injuries, no one bothered...

    FS: 5x 20 inch 2013 Limited Wheels $600 Northern Colorado

    Still have these, wheels only. I don't want to ship, but willing to drive and meet at reasonable distance. These would make a great set of winter wheels for someone in Colorado/Southern WY. Tire Rack says Blizzak DM-V2 or Geolandar I/T G072 fit these. 500 dollars for 5 OEM wheels. I don't...

    sun shades?

    I recommend these: www.eclipsesunshades.net It looks like the difference from the ones you posted are that these part in the middle, and mine have a mirror cutout. I've had these on all my vehicles since 2004, and the only failure has been the stick on base peeling off. They sell replacement...

    Battery Replacement

    I replaced the battery on my 2013 Limited with an Interstate MT7-34R. Maybe overkill for some, but I do a lot of driving on washboard roads so I wanted their AGM. It is also advertised to handle both deep discharge and cranking, which is desirable since I run multiple radios and they can pull...

    Portable jump starter

    I check it about every 3 months, but only have had to charge it once - after using it 2 times when my OEM battery. It was down to 3 lights vs. the 5 for full charge. The first time I tested it, it had sat in the car for 3 months, indicated full charge, and worked fine. I think it would...

    bagged/lowered/bodydropped 5th gen t4r thread

    I'm anticipating this for the newest post in the Tire and Wheel fitment thread: "305/30R26...Will it rub?" :wow2: Seriously, how do they even turn those things?

    Portable jump starter

    I have the Anti-gravity XP-10, and I highly recommend it. I keep it in the truck year round. It seems to hold a charge for well over 3 months. I have started the 4runner with it with the battery disconnected as a test. On 3 occasions I have killed the battery with radios or air compressor...

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

    Replaced the OEM battery with an Interstate MT7-34R. At 87,500 miles and 4 years, it died twice on me with only about 5 minutes of accessory use. I'm probably a little taxing on batteries from using ham radios - sometimes I have used the radios without the truck running (13A draw while...

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

    I ditched the XREAS, installed a 3-inch lift, traveled to Wyoming to witness the eclipse.
