Bajarack expidition/tent-rack I have the Bajarack expedition/tent-rack for the 5th gen. I had bajarack add the additional mounts and hardware so that I would be able to use it on my 3rd or 5th gen 4r. I currently have it mounted on a set of track-racks in my tundra. This setup allows me to...

Scan tool for base line data I have an equus scan tool that acquires the parameters you are interested in at one Hz. It has several trigering options. I don't remember the memory depth. I have used the tool for debug so getting some base line data could be useful once an issue arises...

Leather is nice for the first 6-8 years Leather is nice for the first 6-8 years then it the finish on the leather deteriorates then the leather itself will start to crack at about ten years. The leather wheel on my 99 4r retails for 800+. On the plus side the wheel can be refinished if the...

depends on use... I have a 2010 SR5 4x4 & still have my 99 t4r highlander edition with a locking rear. We spend time off road but only locked the rear on the 99 twice. Once on the lot in 99 when it was new & recently to see if it was still working. So when considering the 2010 the third row...

Toyota responds to the email campaign with: Buy a GX.... If the 4r was offered with a V8 the cost would be north of forty coming off the lot. That would be a delta of 10K or less from the GX. Would the 4r with a V8 have an impact on GX or sequoia sales? I wouldn't expect the V8 it doesn't...

I went with the Bajarack for several reasons: 1. I have a need to mount a roof top tent on 3rd or 5th gen 4R. 2. Wanted a low profile clean install. 3. I don’t want the sunroof covered. My initial plan was to buy the 3rd gen Expedition rack & mounts that are currently available off the...

BAJA Rack Plan I think I may have misled you a bit my plan is to get the expedition rack that is available for the third gen 4r. The rack is 41 x 60 inches and comes with the mounts for the third gen. I measured the 5th gen and think the rack itself will fit/work fine on the 5th gen. I am...

As per the Toyota and ARB the weight is within limits. I’m not sure how the weight could be more evenly distributed there was pretty much 30lbs on each mounting point (rail to truck) going down the road. If you think it needs to be evenly distributed along the rails I think you are mistaken...

SR5 4x4 third row msrp around 35.7 paid the dealer 32.1 plus what ever the state demanded. Thats about 45 days ago bought at Power Toyota Ceritos in southern California. Good Luck

That I have only seem offered by aftermarket. That I have only seem offered by aftermarket but not toyota.

Yes The third row mat has holes cut out for the third row seat handles when stowed. I think the two row mat would work, it would be just as easy to pull the mat back a few inchs to reach the handles when required. There is no no difference in using the two or three row mat when the third...

It was a beast... It was the "Beast BBQ." Each year my buddy Mike has a “Beast BBQ” where a whole beast of some sort is bbq'ed in some fashion, spits, grills, pits... One year he said it was a lamb but I'm pretty sure it was a very large dog or tiny horse. I have been to a few of these...

To each his own on where you think it is most convenient to sleep. If I camp for a week to ten days I think the RTT will work out better for me. I think the bear joke went over your head though. Although there where bears in camp we were not all that worried about them. They were panda...

So far so good .... So far so good it seems very well made. Ventilation is great. Setup is very quick ten minutes, tear-down/pack-up is 15-20, the difference being the cover it is easier to take off then put on. Looks like it will last if taken care of but I’ve had it a month & only used it...

It is the ARB Simpson III. I just received it a few weeks ago. I attached two flat aluminum channel cross bars to the stock rails. The mounting hardware that was included with the tent attached to the aluminum channel cross bars. It was very stable at highway speed when stowed and when...
