    New power plant?

    Not sure why someone who doesn't use a full size truck to do truck stuff would say the hybrid 2022 Tundra is a flop? Why because it doesn't get 30 mpg like some pos Pruis? A truck needs lots of torque to tow heavy 10k plus loads and that is what a hybrid tundra has. Toyota built it to have...

    99 3rd gen limited vs GX470

    Yea that is a serious good buy for a low mileage gx470. If you are making it into a trail ride you got to pull that huge front bumper off anyways and go aftermarket just to improve the departure and approach angle and to give it some offroad cred..lol

    99 3rd gen limited vs GX470

    I have guys in our offroad group that switched to a gx470 from the 3rd gen. They absolutely love it and never let us forget it. Way more power and when we go on weekend trips they all flat out leave us especially in the mtns. You build a trail rig and they get heavy especially with gear, people...

    4th gen ?

    I have had a 4th gen since 08 and it now has almost 300k on it. Our 3rd gen was our first 4 runner but it isn't the best 4 runner. The 4th is much more powerful and rides far smoother on the road and offroad better than the 3rd gen. There has been very few non maintenance related issues on this...

    And you thought you had a high-mileage 3rd gen...

    I got 331k on my 3rd gen and the beast runs great for a 25 year old SUV that is slow as hell. It is slow and steady and that is ok with me since it is now our dog car.

    4th Gen vs 3rd Gen

    I have a 96 3rd gen and a 08 4th gen and both are very reliable. The 3rd gen needs more maintenance and wear and tear fixes than the 4th gen but that is expected in a 25 year old vehicle. The 4th gen is more powerful and rides like a new 5th gen 4 runner. It is a much better tow vehicle as...

    I’m back.. kind of.

    You should probably take it back if drives that terrible and have them check it out. My 5th gen suspension and power is way better than my 3rd gen. The 3rd is a throw back to the 90s and as much as I love her she definitely ain't driving like our Trd 4 runner.

    Well welcome back and now that you have upgraded to a 5th gen you might not get too much attention from the 3rd gen guys..lol I have a 3rd gen and 5th gen so I will talk to you.

    Heavy Duty Suspension

    Google airbags or go to amazon and search for Firestone airbags. Those under 100.00 and are very easy to install and to air up or down according to your needs.

    Heavy Duty Suspension

    Like the gentleman said, airbags airbags airbags. I used them on my Tundra which I tow 10,000 pounds alot with. Airbags will not change my ride quality but allow me to air up according to the weight of my load. They work equally as well on the little loads that my 4 runners occasionally see and...

    Worse MPG after cleaning MAF?

    I added this recently to the Truck and mpg increased and the truck had a little more power. It cleared the smell on acceleration as well. The stuff ain't cheap but it does work.

    Have you named your T4R?

    "The beast" because at 331,000 miles it always gets home on its own power . She is slow and reliable but a beast of a truck.

    Hard to find Specs, Info & Measurements on 231mm 13WL Tundra Calipers & Rotors

    Turns out that article is right on point. It is softer but stops much better. Just took time to get used to

    Insane freight charges from Toyota

    Yea this is an issue for that website not this one to resolve. Everyone has different shipping cost and it is up to you the consumer to pay shipping or go some where there is no shipping. I personally shop around all the time for the best deal and watch all charges before I purchase.
