    2014 Wrangler Unlimited vs 4Runner

    Both the Jeep Wrangler and the T4Runner are iconic vehicles IMO. Should be proud of owning and driving your 4runner.

    2014 Wrangler Unlimited vs 4Runner

    Funny. I posted in this thread back in March I believe.... just sold my 2012 4runner Limited and got a 2014 Jeep Unlimited. As I said before, Love both Toyotas and Jeeps, just had the itch again. The 4runner Limited was Loaded and a wonderful vehicle. 53 years old and drive about 75 miles...

    Ran it out of gas- problems now!

    I think if you Blow the truck (Tail pipe) that causes a negative pressure vortex in the fuel/air mixture and the truck will start. That's what I tell the wife at least on mornings when I can't get out of bed.:whoo:

    Rust starting on my lift gate already %&*&$#!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    You are in Arizona so I'm not sure what rust issues you deal with but here in the "Rust Belt" of N/E Pa..... short of not driving from Nov - May.... you are going to get rust even if you are driving a Delorean. Best you can hope for is minimizing by busting butt ALL Winter. Nothing is trully...

    Rust behind license plate

    I use the round felt adhesive pads used for furniture feet, have always padded the plate away from the paint. Toyotas are not "Super- Non-Human".... IF bare metal gets exposed to salt etc. it's going to rust. Tough to do but..... regular cleaning is the answer. IF one is lucky enough to have a...

    One Hundred Twenty-Five Bucks

    " Happy to have the Money" about sums up the state of "our" country's collective generation a-hole "entitlement' mentality. Toyota never has represented anything to me other than a possible purchase of choice with no guarantee of anything other than - reputation . Reputation of pretty damn good...

    Depending on what your goal is, new tires, larger tires, choices. There is finally another option for the LE, Bridgestone H/L Alenza Plus at least a well reviewed tire at a reasonable price has become available.

    Have owned several of Both (Jeeps and Toyotas) 4runners/ Fj Cruisers and Tacomas. Jeeps GrCherokees, Cherokees and Wranglers (Rubicons and Saharas) thus my screen name. I drive a T4R LE now. Has never left me saying, "IF I only had more off-road capability". Buy a used Quad to satisfy the...

    noise comming from the rear of my 4runner limited

    I can't keep track of all the stuff my LE does on its own. It knows when I'm coming, leaving and when I've broken some secret rule because it sets of an alarm of some sort. Can't tell you how many times I've gone to leave it and I stand there talking to it, "Ok, what did or didn't I do this...

    Choosing between SR5 and Limited

    Good pick. I have an LE. Coming from anything German - LE is the best pick IMO. Good luck with it, any questions about mats, accessories, tires etc - ask.

    5th Gen Weathertech Cargo Liner Help

    Rarely but, in this case I actually preferred the coverage and contour (in the cargo area) of the Toyota cargo tray over the Weathertech. The rest of the stuff that I own both of - the toyota brand sits in the garage and the Weathertech is actually pulling duty.

    New Tire option 4/Limited 20"

    Finally ..... another option. Bridgestone Dueller H/L Alenza Plus 245/60-20 No, it's not an aggressive off-road tire but .... finally an alternative to the Yokohama/Blizzak/Dueller choice and the Alenza (unlike the OEM Dueller) is very well known, well reviewed and reasonably priced w/an 80,000...

    Opinion/Poll: New HeadUnit or Speakers first?

    If you know you are going to do everything anyway then I'd say just go ahead and get it over with but if you are simply looking for an improvement - most find swapping out the front speakers to be the most noticeable improvement. (spoken as a recovering audiophile)
