    Hood with scoop

    Try to google “4runners 5th gen hood swap”. A certain competitor website with 4runners in the name has a thread where members who want scoops trade with members who don’t. My impression is that you are on the wrong side of supply and demand, but maybe worth a try.

    Sleeping in a 4runner

    I tried out an REI kingdom cot 3 in the store and it was very comfortable. I think it would fit in a 4runner if you moved the front seats forward and slept with your head toward the tailgate. There is at least a foot of overhang below the bottom legs so you can make use of the space behind the...

    Low roofline/poor visibility

    I agree. I have even considered leveling the fron suspension might give me a slightly better visibility angle? I sit pretty far back and also more upright than most people. Also, I didn’t know about the mirror adjustability, thanks!

    Low roofline/poor visibility

    Every vehicle I ever drive I adjust the seat as low as possible. Sometimes I even push the button and attempt to lower it more just to make sure.

    Low roofline/poor visibility

    Does anyone else, (especially those of you who are tall) think the forward visibility is obstructed by the low roofline? For some reason I didn’t notice or care on my test drive but now I am constantly thinking about it when I drive. Occasionally I need to duck down to see a stoplight. I have...

    Bilstein 5100 vs 6112

    No, 1/0 for the Pro models up to 2018 with bilstein shocks based on what I have read on other forums. I can see how my first post can be confusing.

    Bilstein 5100 vs 6112

    The Pro rides a little higher up front by about an inch, I think the rear is the same.

    Loggerhead’s ‘18 Nautical Blue TRD Off Road Build Thread (Wheels are mounted)

    I was thinking about getting those exact wheels on my Nautical blue TRD OR. Now I know exactly what it would look like, thanks! Don’t worry, I don’t live anywhere near the OP and I will probably wait until the original tires are worn out before I switch. All around nice truck with tasteful...

    Prinsu roof rack...any issues or regrets?

    I can’t seem to find much info on the 3/4 rack. Does anyone have the 3/4 installed that can tell if there is a noticeable increase in wind noise or reduced fuel economy?

    Bilstein 5100 vs 6112

    I know this horse has been beat but I’m asking anyway: Are the 6112/5160 upgrades still holding up reliability wise? I want to upgrade my stock KDSS suspension with about the same ride height as the Pro without compromising street handling or reliability. I read at least one comment that a 5100...

    2019 TRD Pro's

    If they are so hard to find, I imagine you could find someone to basically buy you out. Maybe the dealership won’t even get a Pro then they will be obligated to refund your deposit. If you are persistent, I’m sure you can get your money back.

    Loggerhead’s ‘18 Nautical Blue TRD Off Road Build Thread (Wheels are mounted)

    The Pro wheels and nerf bars were probably a dealer add on package like “raptor” or something. Seems like a scam.

    Towing capacity of 4Runner vs. other vehicles

    A short wheelbase makes towing less stable increasing risk and liability for Toyota. That being said, there are so many possible points of mechanical failure that you can’t see as a consumer so who knows what the weakest link is in the chain.
