    Can someone tell me what the road icon with snowflake means??

    Snowflake? I think you might have gotten close to a leftist liberal.

    aftermarket roof racks with Yakima racks, which ones?

    I have had 5 4Runners over the years, starting with a '97 XR5. My business requires me to carry at least one extension ladder (in my case a 28 foot fiberglass (afraid of power lines) Werner). I also used to bicycle quite a bit and needed at least two top mounted racks. I have had nothing but...

    Rear License Plate Screw?

    I dip the screws in axle grease prior to installation. Never had a problem removing them.

    Battery Replacement

    AAA. Came to the house and only charged $115.00. 3 year warranty. Works for me.

    I'll trade you a properly sized liner for one of the rifles.

    Any year significantly better than the others?

    I have owned 5 4Runners. The most truck like and bullet proof was the 1997 SR5 (162000 miles when sold), followed very closely by the 2001 SR5 (183000 miles when I totaled it). My 2008 Limited was much lower quality, in my opinion. The leather seats wrinkled and tore way to early and it leaked...

    Early Oil Change

    Well, I did it. Thank you all for your opinions. While waiting on my 5000 mile service at the dealer, I bought an oil filter there and on the way home, stopped at Wal-Mart and picked up Mobil 1 enhanced fuel economy. $25.47 per jug. Not bad. I crawled under the truck and followed the...

    Early Oil Change

    I appreciate the input. You shamed me into doing it the right way. In over 40 years of changing my own oil in dozens of vehicles, I have never cheated, but I thought the filter has to be designed for 10000 miles and I just wanted to get the residual filings and debris out of a new engine prior...

    Early Oil Change

    Sorry if this has been asked before, but I have a 2017 TRD Off Road with 4900 miles on it. I will take it to the dealer for the 5000 mile service next week. Not much to it, but I like to keep warranties intact if possible. Anyway I am planning a trip to Florida next month and my mileage will be...

    WeatherTech Floor Liners****JUNK****

    I have Weathertechs in a Camry and found the front ones seem to curl. The driver side even has curled in front of the brake pedal. I have had Huskys in my four 4Runners over the years and found them not only cheaper, but more durable.

    Anyone Have A Secondary Vehicle?

    My 2017 TRD Off Road is my DD. On weekends I use a 2000 Tundra. It only has 104000 miles and rides great. The gas mileage is not all that bad, and the V8 is a blast to drive.

    Roof rack crossbars:factory vs aftermarket

    I have had this rack system on 4 different 4Runners over the years, just changing necessary parts to adapt to the racks. Very stable.

    Rear ended by Ford them hit a Honda.

    The picture does not show the "T" intersection. She had a stop sign and I did not. When I was entering the intersection, she stood on the accelerator and was turning left. I saw her, leaned on the horn, hit the brakes and veered to the left, hoping to avoid the collision, but there was nothing I...

    Rear ended by Ford them hit a Honda.

    It is probably too new a vehicle to be totaled, but I am not an insurance adjuster. My 2016 SR5 with 15750 miles was hit by a BMW at the front right corner and she was driving so fast she bounced off and must have kept her foot on the accelerator as she hit me again in the rear corner as I...
