Thanks for the quick reply, I assumed no news was good news on the mounting for the early 5th gens. The dealer up here mentioned that they hadn’t purchased anything for a while mostly due to COVID restrictions so they were going to seek out updated prices on their own. Product looks great and I...

2010-2013 trail edition mounting I’m looking at this rack currently and the thread is a great resource. Question is, are there any 2010-2013 trail edition folks here that have installed one? Looking for a picture with the old body style (just for curiosity) and is the mounting the same with the...

Here's mine. Basically I've added as stuff wears out so I haven't done a huge amount. It's slowly retiring from daily use so I will be doing more in the future. ODO is at 260,000km and with the new wheels and pedal commander it honestly feels like a new vehicle. My wife dailies it and gets...

Love seeing the love for the early 5th Gen Trails. I don't see very many around but I always give them a wave when I do. My 2011 Black Trail was a dealer demo I bought in 2012 with 9000KM. It has about 260,000 now. Basically as stuff wears out I do upgrades. Only issue I have with it is the...

Nice set-up OP. My vote would be for an aeropress with a collapsible kettle (tonnes of options on Amazon). I also like the idea of pre portioned vac seal. Could fit the whole setup in the back little pocket by the inverter and if you have the slide out tray voila!

I’ve had the issue on and off since my first change to a heavier off road tire a few years ago. Different brands of tire (Cooper ST Maxx, Goodyear Duratrac), all on factory trail wheels. It was always good when it leaves the shop but creeps in over time as the tire wears. Now, new wheels and...

Same as many folks on here. Running City +2 and its tucked under the dash over by the parking brake pedal attached to the fuse panel. BT connection and I don't plan to change settings on it much so I went for the cleaner look. I actually didn't get it for the "performance" aspect, it just...

Not exactly today...but this week so it counts; Installed Konig Six shooter 17x8, 0 offset in Matte Bronze with BFG KO2, 285/70/17 and installed Pedal Commander. Initial impressions on both. Love the wheels and I'd say if you're on the fence about Bronze wheels, just do it. Photo's don't...

Konig Six Shooter 17x8, 285/70/17 BFG KO2 C rated Just got these installed. Love me some matte bronze. Hard to photograph, they look so different in varying light. But anyone on the fence I'd say go for it! For the Canadian crowd, I ordered through Cochrane Toyota pricing was basically the...

With European and Japanese cars you guys have to contend with the 25yr rule (ours is 15). So if you did manage to get a new Audi it would be impossible to get tags for. Not sure what complications there are with the 4runner as its built in Japan but available in US as well. I believe there would...

Not saying this will work for sure, since you have multiple dents and creases at different angles. But I took out a door dent with a can of compressed air and a hair dryer. There are some youtube videos on it, but basically you super cool the metal with the compressed air (keyboard cleaner...

Tough conditions for sure. Up here we have muskeg, which is basically soil and other organic material floating on quicksand like a big mossy carpet. We are expected to build roads on that stuff. Usually that involves digging it all up and replacing it with clay, all while trying to keep your...

Interesting thread. Covered some great topics! I build roads for a living and in my experience 10" of gravel on a road like that would be wasted. With soft clay soil the gravel would just get driven into the clay with traffic over time, or blown out into the ditches. Your investment would be...

TFLcar video: TRDP 4runner vs 95 Jeep Obviously this head to head is just for fun and not to be taken too seriously. This certainly isn't meant to start a Jeep vs 4runner debate! I think it demonstrates the effect of the rear locker nicely. My takeaways: Both vehicles could have benefit from...

UPDATE: After a service where my tires were rotated the vibration, which had almost gone away, became much worse. I took the truck to a local shop with a Roadforce Balancer to do a more thorough check to make sure the rims were true, and see if they could balance the tires....after they were...
