    Sleeping in the back setups?

    Nothing fancy, just took some plywood I had laying around, covered it in carpet and made some footings out of scrap 2x4. It makes a perfectly flat surface that I just use my Thermarest pad on to sleep. Works great for weekend bonsai fishing or hunting trips Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Entering GPS coordinates into the Navigation system

    I have been using Onx Off-road for a couple months now, it also shows up on the display through Apple Car Play. I love that I can download maps for when I am out of cell coverage. Another big plus of you hunt, you can convert and upload your hunting app waypoints, which is really helpful as...

    Towing experiences with your 5th Generation

    I towed this around most of the summer and it was pretty painful going up I-70. Even the drive up 287 into the Snowies was a little frustrating. Just gotta take your time and be patient. One thing I noticed is that holy hell does it kill your gas mileage! My trailer is around 1300lbs empty and...

    Off Road Trailers Thread

    I built mine out of an old US Army M101a2. It’s really useful for family camping trips and late season hunting trips. I have a 100mah onboard battery for power, and carry 2 20 lbs propane tanks for the grill and for the Mr Heater tent heater. I use a 10 person turbo tent, which I can setup by...

    2021 Venture model skid plates SUCK!!

    I definitely like my 4Runner better than the Xterra, but the Xterra was definitely easier to clean! I will look at aftermarket skids for sure Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2021 Venture model skid plates SUCK!!

    Ok ok thanks for the smartass remarks [emoji12]. I did go through the car wash on my way home and thought I had got the majority of mud out of there. I wasn’t intentionally mudding, but dirt roads in western Nebraska and Eastern Colorado get really really nasty with just a little moisture...

    2021 Venture model skid plates SUCK!!

    LoL, ok so I still love my 4Runner, and have put 20k miles on it so far this year. This is my first Toyota and I occasionally run across things that I do not like. A few weeks ago I was out in Nebraska doing some hunting. It was a little muddy in some areas and didn’t think too much about it...

    Foam mattress for sleeping platform

    I sleep in the back of my 4Runner all the time, but I also have kids and family, so being able to quickly convert back to normal back seats was a must for me. I just made a couple of carpet covered platforms on 2 inch riser blocks that level out the surface. I sleep a Thermarest Basecamp or...

    Should I get a 2021? Need a 4x4 with a low gear.

    I love my 4Runner but the whole reason I bought it was because I do a lot of hunting, camping and hiking and am routinely miles back on forest service roads or Jeep trails and 4x4 is an absolute necessity in the mountain West. If my only criteria was towing a heavy boat and having interior room...

    Ouch! My new 4runner.

    I hit a deer last year in my previous vehicle, a 2012 Nissan Xterra, and I didn’t think the damage looked all that bad. I have Progressive and they use Caliber here. They came back with 13k to fix it and just ended up totalling it, which is why I bought a new 4Runner. I was shocked at how much...

    My Experience Towing with a 4Runner

    I tow an M101a2 military trailer. With all our camping gear, it’s probably 2500lbs. I’m in Colorado, so lots of uphill towing. I can say, towing with the 4Runner is not something I look forward to, LOL. Seems to spend ALOT of time in 4th, near red line when climbing up I-70 to Eisenhower...

    Mud Flap Recommendation

    I got the RokBlocks XLs on my ‘21 Venture. I really like them, they keep a lot of road grime, rocks and mud off my trailer when I’m towing it. I drive a lot of dirt roads and feel like these are helping to save my paint a little bit! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    KO2 Tires vs Cooper AT3 and Falcon Wild Peak

    I’m sure you’ll get a bunch of different answers. I really think the KO2’s have a place, and are the toughest tire I have ran. I have driven thousands of miles on e rated and c rated KO2’s, all across the mountain west and Midwest. Dirt roads, forest service roads and off road. I have never had...

    2021 4Runner OEM LED Headlights/Lights Performance and Retrofit

    Every time I am out in rural areas hunting or camping in my 21 4Runner, people flash me and rage a bit, thinking my high beams are on.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
