We actually bought some new TRD Pro wheels in 17" fitment for our 4Runner this Christmas. I'm very excited to have them on our SUV, but we haven't bought the new tires as of yet. :boink:

I have hit my speed limiter more than once on aggressive freeway passing episodes and it's always entertaining. The speed limiter is there for good reason on these vehicles though, and I doubt it would go too much faster without it. :roll:

Glad you like the thread. I have learned that the 17" Volk TE37 (6 lug, large PCD) weighs about 11 pounds less per corner than my stock wheels. I plan to buy a set of those and keep my tire sizes consistent (stock), but that is a total of 44 pounds of rotating weight to be lost...which is a...

As a true newbie to the software, the answer is just that I don't know. When I'm not in range to be connected to the battery by Bluetooth (such as right now), I don't really see any way to read historical graphs anyway.

So far so good but I have to admit the feature I'm using the most from it is just the real-time health snapshot as you approach your vehicle. We had a power outage for 26 hours a few days ago that led me to do some phone/device charging in my driveway (several hours worth) and when I approached...

The battery swap isn't something you can just quantify easily by cost alone...it's more of my passion of being a weight weenie and a tech junkie that makes it worthwhile personally. For the record, I do manage to jump on their seasonal discounts so the price isn't quite as high as you think...

Well, as a somewhat out-of-place weight weenie in this world, I knew I'd have something worth sharing sooner or later...and here it is. Over the holiday break I worked with my friends at Antigravity batteries to source a Group 35 battery for my trusty 2008 Toyota 4Runner, still having its...

What is the theft rate like on our 4Runners anyway? I'm not aware of them being easy or popular theft targets at all, other than their catalytic converters.

My wife surprised me by giving me a TRD radiator cap for our 2008 4Runner, that was really cool to get as a stocking stuffer today! My battery has been dying for the last year (literally) and I splurged by ordering an Antigravity Lithium battery to replace the original Panasonic. I'm the...

Yes sir, guilty as charged. I've also owned two Toyota 4Runners since 2003!

I'm sad to see that the thread ended a few years ago. I'd love to see updates if any exist, and great work with what you did with your 4Runner for sure! :yo:

Ouch, very sorry to see and hear what happened to the OP! That's awful, and I hope you're OK and that insurance takes proper care of you so you're back in the saddle again soon. :wow:

Like I said, I would not wish it upon anyone. Just awful! I'm very sorry for your own situation too, and am glad that insurance took care of it.

I just came to learn that fiberglass front fenders are a thing for our 4th generation 4Runners! However, I can also see that they are oversized and meant for serious off road use, not as pure factory replacement bolt-ons. Although they may not be much less than OEM steel fenders, I'm sure they...

I definitely appreciate this post very much as I had a very regular problem of moisture ruining my bulbs on the passenger side fog lamp as well. After being disappointed to learn that you are supposed to remove the front bumper to swap them I decided to experiment with LED bulbs. It has been...
