I towed ours this past Spring for about 100 miles from the dealer to our place at the lake. Overall it did ok through the VA Piedmont hills, of course the already-overweight 4R required manual shifting and generally staying in 3rd-gear if you wanted to maintain any sort of highway speed. There...

SOLD to a new home in the Colorado Rockies

Sorry, not trying to part out. The only way I'll be able to stand letting her go will be as a whole to someone who is going to use/enjoy her as intended. Thanks for the interest though.

I've been thinking of moving on to other projects and putting my current Runner on the market. Already had some offers from dealers but would rather it go to someone who would use/appreciate it as it was built and intended for. I am the original owner and ordered this truck new to my exact...

I ordered my '15 TP with literally every option checked, and one I really wanted was the sliding rear tray. At the time of order I was told that due to regional issues (at a dealer in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia) the dealer couldn't order the sliding tray from the factory, but they would...

another Toyota oddity when it comes to packaging... On the Pro, you can't get a sunroof, flashy mirrors, etc. but randomly auto lights are included. On any Premium, you can have those goodies but randomly no auto lights.

On last nights 'The First 48' (A&E show documenting real-life homicide investigations), as they load the dead guy into the van I glimpse a quick peek of 4Runner back glass and a Gobi ladder in the background driveway. The girlfriend called bs on my spotting, so I Google-Earth'd all the way down...

Personally not a fan of the 'stripe' look. I think a solid hood with the scoop adding differentiating contrast is the way to go when wrapping/dipping these hoods.
