Went from a 2010 Tundra Platinum Crewmax to a 2012 Sequoia, as well as having my 2010 4Runner Trail. The Sequoia was great on the highway and with the family in tow (5 of us) it was amazing for road trips and ski trips. The gas mileage was absolutely horrible though, and even though my wife...

I had an awful time trying to put my sliders on my '11 TE as well. I only had a couple of threaded spots and the rest were all stick nuts. What a pain that was trying to fit the stick nuts in and line them up - mine had very little room to fit and manouvre those things around. Love them now...

Anyone interested in a set of stock running boards off a 2011 TE? I put on a set of Schrockworks sliders and have the original stock boards just sitting in my garage now. They're in perfectly fine condition with abuse or cracks, dents, etc but I just need to get rid of them now to get my wife...

That's an odd problem. The roof rack drives me crazy too though. I have a 2011 Cdn Trail and I lost one of the little wingnuts somehow. Turns out you have to order an entire cross-rail as Toyota doesn't carry just the wingnut. So don't lose any parts while you have it apart! Although I do have...

What the heck? How have I missed this thread? I have a lifted 4Runner as well as an 80 series Cruiser that would be great fun to take out on these types of runs... And I'm also in Calgary! And enjoy Nikons too :)

Up in our part of Canada they use gravel all winter for the snow and ice, and since we always get chinooks that melt all the snow the roads are covered with gravel. My 4Runner already has huge cracks all across that will require a new windshield - once spring has come and they clean all the...

My wife doesn't like driving the Trail, especially with the lift (she's 5'4"). And with 3 kids the 3rd row seat would have been handy, even with it's limited space. All the little conveniences would have been nice too - push start, smart keys, nav, etc. I haven't really had a chance to offroad...

Nice work, the truck looks awesome! In hindsight I wish I had gotten a limited and done something like this instead of the Trail that I got.

Biggest change I've noticed is that with the OME kit I now have almost no nose dive during braking - it was about the only thing that drove me crazy before I had the lift done. My wife actually doesn't mind it at all - other than a little complaining about getting in as she's only 5'4". The...

Here's my 2011 TE with the OME 3" kit and 285/70/17 Duratracs. So far I really like it - it's basically eliminated any nose dive I had during braking and I love the look as much as the handling. It's a bit of a stiff ride, but having had many 4x4's it's nothing I really notice anymore...

I just switched from a 2010 Tundra Crewmax Platinum to a 2011 4Runner TE myself. I loved the interior space of the Tundra, but hated the mileage and sheer size and parking of the truck. Once I no longer needed the towing capability of the Tundra the 4Runner became a nice substitute for my...
