    ARB Summit Bumper

    What make and model are those lamps atop your ARB bumper? Do you have a three-quarter view of the front of your vehicle, aside from that close-up of your tire?

    1/9/19 - Toyota Expands Takata Air Bag Safety Recall : 2010-2016 4Runners

    Thank you for the heads up. I checked and my vehicle is part of the recall. Appointment on for Monday. The wife is relieved this was addressed quickly, as she doesn't enjoy shrapnel.

    Is the 4Runner becoming the new fan boy vehicle?

    Of course the 4Runner is the new fan boy vehicle. I've got one, and I'm nobody. Good grief, this is a successful, mass produced vehicle. Each 4Runner comes off the assembly line identical to hundreds of thousands others. If you want to be an SUV hipster, maybe it's time to push on to a Tata...

    Do you like running boards.....

    They are. I find them useful, though I understand the aesthetic concerns. Sweet. Thanks for the tip.

    Do you like running boards.....

    My used TEP came with running boards. I don't hate them (actually I kind of like them) and the wife needs them. If the 4Runner were naked and I was starting from scratch, I'd probably pony up the extra cash for a set of sliders that had a nice tread for double duty. I've been daydreaming about...

    Amber Fog Lights

    I've worked in video/filmmaking. Plastic film (aka "gels") or a tinted lens is exactly how you'd arrive at colored light from either a cool- or warm-white stage lamp. These lamps are often much brighter than something you'd normally have on a car. If you don't see the color, your gel/lens...

    Mating TRD Aluminum Front Skid to RCI Steel

    I don't have real world experience with skid plates, so you'll have to take my remarks with an ounce of healthy skepticism. I believe your concern about aluminum on steel contact is valid because it may cause accelerated galvanic corrosion. If I understand the phenomenon correctly, this will...

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

    I picked my wife up at the train station this evening. The fun never ends. :guitar2:

    SwellRunner Build and Adventure Thread

    Honestly, Mr. Koertge's YouTube videos are what put the Toyota 4Runner on my radar and I've got to thank him for that. I owe him a debt of gratitude. I love this vehicle. He seems like a good fellow and I wish him continued success.

    Let's see those black 5th Gens!

    That would make a terific Christmas card. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

    No longer a 4 Runner owner

    Based on what you've told us, you've done nothing wrong. You didn't steal anything. No need for guilt. Use this experience as occasion for growth. Turn it into something positive. That's the quickest way to feel better about yourself and fate.

    Today - First Snow

    The wife was skeptical about the benefits of 4WD when we purchased our 4Runner this summer. After the 4Runner demonstrated its surefootedness yesterday while others were failing, she's firmly convinced.

    Today - First Snow

    Great video. It was a beautiful snowfall all afternoon. The inspection stickers say you're in Pennsylvania. Go Iggles! Today is the first day I've used the 4WD in earnest and I loved the peace of mind. I had to fetch my wife from the train station during rush hour. It was interesting to see...

    “T” fell off my grill leaving me with “OYOTA.” Need help finding a new one

    Even if it were out of warranty, I would still consider it their responsibility to maintain their own advertising. If they didn't, I'd remove the rest myself. One of the first things I did after buying my 4Runner was to purchase a heat gun and plastic razor blade to remove the stealership's decal.
