    2006 v8 4x4 with bad mpg

    Yea and more sound = more foot = more sound I wonder if you are actually seeking scientific solutions, why you would not take the most care to determine scientifically the actual mileage. The dash is know to be off. Really what did you expect from a V8 steel box cutting through the air, you...

    Next vehicle?

    I had a Highlander once, loved it great rig...I even fit in the very back a couple of times...very roomy and I always thought it drove better with a couple hundred lbs in the ass end. . . . That torque steer was killer though, but I drive like I am 16

    Is the 4Runner your toy or daily driver?

    I would take the consideration of how will you feel if it is gone ? If you keep it and do nothing, it doesn't cost much....seems to me the experience of an open buggy is very different from riding in a full vehicle, do you need a change ? You can always use your toy to tow your other toy.

    Limited t4r options reliability

    07 V8 Limited - 155K miles and not problems other than some minor acting up of the dual zone climate control...and well a minor paint failure with the painted grill, I did fix that because it was so cheap to get a replacement fully painted grill, the rest works great, the factory sound is pretty...

    UPdate on my stolen 07

    Wow...not only did you spend 10k on a rig that you didn't own outright, you were leaving the keys in the thing, at least you could have upped the coverage for your modifications..although those adjustments don't work out great for DIYers it would still give some room to negotiate

    Why I do not want a 5th gen

    Nice point about the lights, I think the current design is mimicking the look of that brush guard. . . .I once saw explained that the target market for automobiles in a 13 year old boy, formative male years and such, that would put most of us way way out of the target market, even by...

    VVT-i critical for V8?

    It is quite possible the GX is also "tuned" for the premium gas, thus higher HP and MPG numbers, which is really nil considering the weight difference (I assume in the GX).\ . . . .any debate about gas mileage is quite irrelevant unless you have identical robots driving both cars. I sure as...

    Sold my 5th Gen and purchased another 4th Gen

    If you dont know about the Clay Bar, give it a try! It does miracles to old paint, cleans it up nice so the wax can actually get to the paint. and it might look like a gimmick but, I love this stuff. KLASSE I think it is just tons of the cleaners in cleaner wax and some polymer stuff, and...

    Sold my 5th Gen and purchased another 4th Gen

    Im totally with you on the never be another V8..that drove my decision! Cars are changing so fast, the feel we are all accustomed to is almost gone. Through the years and years of programming the masses are starting to believe that gasoline is bad, and we all need something that costs 2x and...
