    Jeep Convert

    We are loving it! It feels a little bigger than I remember my 4th gen feeing, but not enough to be a bother. Definitely love the updated interior. We are going to swap out the front and rear valence with black ones. Never understood the use of silver on every colored vehicle.... and we may...

    Jeep Convert

    I don’t know about dweh54, but we had axle issues and transmission issues that we had to have covered under warranty. We didn’t beat on it a whole lot, my wife was the primary driver. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Jeep Convert

    I’m another Jeep convert down in San Antonio. We traded the JKU MOAB in on a Porsche Macan Turbo. We love the Porsche, but really missed the ruggedness of the Jeep. So this weekend, we traded in our other vehicle on an ‘18 4Runner TRD Off-road Premium. Absolutely love it! Between both...

    New guy from Texas

    Looks great! Stormtrooper style! I’m also in SA and just picked up our 4Runner over the weekend. We got it from Toyota of Boerne. They’re the only ones that had it in Barcelona Red. Lovin’ it! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

    Barcelona Red 4Runners! Let's see them!

    Been away from Toyota for a few years. Had an ‘03 4Runner from 03 to 10 and have missed it ever since. Purchased our new TRD-Off Road Premium this weekend. Loving it! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

    30 k mile service

    I'm apparently re****ed after a 15 hour day at work... V6 has the chain, V8 has the belt... :bonk: I used OEM plugs from the Totoa dealership, not sure if they were the iridium or not.. That had to have been 4 years ago or so... I don't remember them costing a whole lot (sub $40)... in any...

    30 k mile service

    I changed the plugs in my '03 V6 at about 40k.... I haven't changed them since and am currently at 101k... No difference in idle, mpg, drivability.... in they stay! Edit: After reading the maintenance schedule, there's really not much maintenance required on these engines... change plugs...

    Have we been banned by the Marines?

    I'm pretty sure it's just sites like Facebook, Myspace, etc...etc..... I'm typing this message onboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt, so it's definately not blocked! ---Ron

    Automatic windows not so automatic... :(

    Apparently, I'm the suckiest forum searcher here... Thanks for the help, guys. Had the battery disconnected for a while over the weekend. It's fixed.... :D ---Ron

    Automatic windows not so automatic... :(

    100k - 200k mile 4th gen v6's post up

    101k so far with no major problems... A/C Relay went out at around 50k... and I think that's about it! Everything else has been absolutely trouble free. As far as I can tell, as long as you keep oil IN the engine, these things will run forever.... ;): ---Ron
