There are a few other threads on great dog crates and the like, but... if you decide to go with a barrier idea, the raingler works really well for me. The dogs can put a paw through and all, but it keeps them in the back, and it's really quick to put it in and out once you get the mounting...

Yet another... 2017 ORP, KDSS, no sunroof. Ordered it that way and had to wait for it to ship from overseas though. Not something you'll find on someone's lot generally.

A little late since you're already thinking racks now, but a 29'er does fit, albeit it takes ALL of the space to the front seat. If you wanted two, throw in a moving blanket or some such to throw on the first bike before adding the second. It'd be an awkward fit though. I have to admit I was...

Sso 15% SouthernStyleOffroad (SSO) is showing 15% on their website for black friday. Time for my roof rack!

I just went through this myself (second time this year, darnit!) without the injuries. One thing you might want to know about is something called "diminished value". If you are recovering from the other insurance carrier (which you are, indirectly or not), you are entitled in most states to...

Slightly different scenario, but my no-longer-with-me 3rd gen had a big steel bumper and we got rear-ended at about +30mph. The cabin did not deform at all, but we took one mother of an impact because all of the hit transferred through the steel bumper to the steel frame, and rocked the crap...

In for sliders too! PM sent

I think it was about 4 weeks... Just picked it up about 9 days ago! I called around to Nevada, and no joy there. When I was looking for a used runner, I was mostly seeing what I wanted in Colorado, so I was *almost* set on getting one from there. Wasn't so much of a waitlist as a "order from...

I had to search pretty much the whole state in California, but Freeman Toyota in Santa Rosa was willing to deal... had to order it from Japan, but got a very nice (well below MSRP) price for it. (ORP, no sunroof..) Everyone else I talked to, well, not worth the oxygen.

The fuse for the cig adapter is a piece of fusible link wire on the back of the socket itself. It is a bit of a pain to replace, but cheap and not too difficult. Pull the center console, unhook the power/ground lead to the adapter, and you'll see a small piece of wire that goes about 1/4 of...

I haven't done it, but it should be pretty simple. Currently it is tied to the ignition circuit, just splice the power lead for the beast into one of the "always on" power leads under the steering column. Pulling the center console out to get at the relevant wiring is pretty easy. Or if you...

Didja find anything good? I spent some time up there this winter doing some snowshoeing (and light snow-wheelin')

Guys, I realize it's not exactly norcal, but I'm headed down to this from Sacramento; if any of you are interested, feel free to join. Stock rigs work just fine, too! http://www.toyota-4runner.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11321

I'm running 265/75R16's (revo's) w/ no rub except at full stuff. YMMV, but that's a pretty common setup. 96 and 97 pretty much same (I have 97) for that. You'll have a trace more oomph with the 70's, and a trace more clearance with the 75's. Take your pick.

Several of us will be going to Pismo Beach to play in the dunes the weekend of August 5th-7th. Further details available here . All are welcome, if you need more details post here or there and we'll getcha some answers!
