Thanks guys. Figured as much...

Anyone attempted siphoning gas out of their 4Runner? I'm thinking for scenarios where you're running on generator and need gas for that or just removing old gas and running it through a lawnmower or something. My car has been sitting quite a bit during the pandemic. I have a siphon that works...

Figured I'd provide an update. Had the front shocks and springs replaced at my local dealer. They were not covered under any warranty. I've been busy with other life things so I just went ahead with the fix using factory parts. Re-aligned as well. Thanks.

Fair enough. I did end up getting the underbody rustproofed from new and thankfully most of the metal underneath seems to be holding up OK where coated. Don' recall ever hearing a spring just self destruct.

Possible. Other than the fact its been like this for several years now. And broke out of the blue. Very odd and disappointing.

Bought my 4Runner brand new in 2015. Did the recall shortly after purchasing to replace the faulty Bilstein shocks up front that would clunk in the winter, which did seem to fix it. Well today I washed by car, and dried it and parked it. Getting ready to come inside to eat, and heard a loud...

Figured I would update this with my own experience. Bought a 15 TRD Pro around this same time last year. Did not say a word about the issue to my dealer until this fix was actually available. I emailed my sales guy the pic 4RunnerPro posted (thanks!) as well as just forwarded him this whole...

Hello everyone, I found instructions on how to do this on a 4th gen (cut one wire), but has anyone done this on their 5th gen? Looking to cleanly disable the dinging noise that occurs when the key is in the ignition and you open the door. I just want to I don't think this is possible through...

I second this request. I think a button on the Entune system for "smart phone screen mirroring" would be 100% legit and a lot of people would love it. Hack or no hack, that is the feature I want. Android Lollipop~

Can this latest Entune update be performed by us? Anyone have the install? If it is done via Techstream, I have the cable as well.

I'm going to be looking at my 4Runner as well for front mounted flag mount options (Silver Lake MI rule). I noticed there was a threaded hole near the front stock recovery hook as well as another hole. Both of these could be used for mount fabrication designs I'm sure, but I am not a fabricator...

Thanks for the insight, makes sense. Should I even worry about it?

Hello everyone, Full Summer weather here in Michigan, which is nice. I installed in-channel Weathertech "deflectors" which installed pretty good, and work good. They do make some noise going up and down but after I lubed them with silicone spray, they have been a lot better. I like to leave my...

I will be taking delivery of my new 4Runner next week according to the dealer, so hopefully I can start looking at options for this requirement soon.
