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

    Well I have not posted up here in a really long time. Always wished I was able to get the scratch together to start the mods on my 5th gen, but alas my poor baby is dead. If any of you ever wondered how safe these 4runners really are look at this picture. The kid who hit me was in a brand new...

    ANTMAN'S Thread

    Could not have said that better! We just went through the one year anniversary of the loss of our little Pug. Never was a small dog kind of guy but that little punk stole my heart. The months that followed we watched our Lab mourn his loss as well. I still see her look for him even after a...

    For those of you that have dogs!

    Well a year ago we lost the best little pug I have ever had. Since our Lab was was looking for a friend and walking around looking lonely we adopted our new pitty mix. This little guy is so full of life and love! Best addition to the family!

    I still love this truck! Wish some of the old school styling would come back.

    Moving from Vegas to Chicago - Winter Advice

    Could not have said to better myself. LAKE EFFECT SUCKS! Anyone around the Great Lakes will tell you that. Been in Western NY my whole life and I have never owned Winter Tires. Good All seasons are just fine and not driving like and A-hole too.

    Dog Proofing my new 4Runner?

    HA HA I love this...Obviously none of you have a little diva for a pup. This was her in the back waiting for the "Help" to put on her seat belt. She does not sit in the cargo area...that is for the dogs. I have often thought about getting the Canvasback for the cargo area but never could pull...

    Breaking / Brake Pads

    Normally I would agree but I think when it comes to pads you have to remember this really depends on driving habits and drive environment. I do a lot of city driving and had to replace front pads at 35K rear at 50K. I will agree that the stock pads are way better than any thing else you could get.

    5th generation bluetooth connection issues

    I have the 2011 LE too and every now and then my phone will do that. Usually what works for me is to remove the phone all together and add it again. One question for you is do you have the phone added under phones or under audio devices. I found once I added it in both places the problem seem to...

    5th Gen Limited X-REAS Leak - Options?

    I am at 60K on my 2011 and I feel you here. I have often wondered what I would do if the XREAs died. I know some of the guys on here rave about the ICON setup being better than stock. As for the tire part...I know it is hard but try to remember if you end up with a little lift you do not HAVE...

    Question for 4wd Limited Owners

    I have 2011 LE and have over 60k and I have never had issues with the drive train. I had a sensor get wet and in a hub once and the dealer dried it off never had a problem since. Now I do not off road so not sure if that makes a difference for you. The running boards are really more a personal...

    Calling all stockers'...or would that be the non-'builds'?

    I thought I was the only one.

    What would you change on the 5th gen?

    After 4 years and 60,000 miles in a Limited.....I would change nothing! Hence why I still drive a stock 4runner.

    Yakima or Stock roof rails?

    Thanks for the suggestion here. I did think about a similar setup BUUUUTTT my wife hooked me up last year with a bike rack for the hitch. Now that my son is riding with us we now take the bikes on our summer vacations. That is why I am looking to get storage on the roof.

    Yakima or Stock roof rails?

    I had read that in some of the forums about the rear hatch not opening all the way. Sounds like you guys have convinced me to go after market. Thanks again for all the help on this one!
