    Trading in my 2022 Subaru Outback XT Touring for a 2023 4Runner Limited

    I have a 2010 Trail that I bought used in 2013 with 18K miles. Now it has 135k and I've not had any significant issues. Living in S. Florida, I've driven it to Ouray, upstate NY, all over North Carolina, and it's very comfortable to be in. 10-11 hours is no problem. Fold the seats down and it...

    Wider door swing?

    I've not done it, but it would be really helpful for loading/unloading. Here's a long post on the Ridgeline forum where they use the front door stops in on the rear doors to get them to open wider. Not sure if something similar would work for the 4Runner. Rear Door Modification to increase...

    Good news....bad news

    Agreed... My 2010 Trail which is Classic Silver needed a new rear bumper and I was concerned about the paint match (especially being 12 years old) so I took it to to Toyota. They matched the classic silver perfectly. New bumper looks like it was there from day one.

    TRD Pro vs old Trail

    My 2010 Trail has remote start and I had them program the remote to roll down all the windows too. Got the list of programmable options from this post: Extra programmable features

    Favorite 5th Gen accessories bought from Amazon?

    I bought these last August to mount back up lights on my roof and so far they're still doing well even at highway speeds. Amazon.com: Nilight 90042B 2PCS Magnetic Base LED Light Bar Mounting Brackets, Powerful Sucker Holder for Bottom-Mounted Offroad LED Work Light Mounting on Hood, 2 Years...

    Manly Horn

    I installed two of these on my 2010 Trail. One low tone and one high tone. Amazon.com: FIAMM 72112 Freeway Blaster LOW Note Horn : Automotive Went from Road Runner Beep Beep to American 4 door sedan sound. Not overly loud, but definitely way much better, and people actually hear it.

    BMC in south Florida?

    I've never had any work done there, but DV8 Motorsports is on US1, just south of Northlake Blvd. Actually right across from Earl Stewart Toyota. They mostly build large full size pickups, but I've seen a few FJs & 4Runners come out of there so they can probably do it.

    Lightest AT 275/70/R17

    Been down this same road with tire size and weight. Currently, I have about 7K on the Firestone Destination X/T in 275/70 size. They're load range E and weigh 48 pounds. They ride significantly better than my last E rated 275/70s which weighed in at 55 pounds. So far great traction in the...

    Baja Design lights from Amazon

    Another vote for the Diode Dynamics. Bought the S3 sport in yellow from Amazon and were very easy to install. They really light up the sides of the road well.

    What's the most effective way to get rid of smells?

    Turn on the truck with the A/C on, turn the fan on high, & leave the windows open. Then go outside and spray a can of Lysol into the fresh air cowl vents by the windshield. Spray a little at a time, let it sit for a few seconds, then do it again. It'll get rid of the smell and disinfect the...

    Destination x/t - size: Lt275/70r17

    I have about 1000 miles on my Destination X/T in 275/70 17 and so far very happy with them. I came from 275/70 17 KO2 and and the 7lb per tire weight difference is noticeable. 4Runner is almost spirited, almost. And even though the X/T is an E rated tire too, not as stiff as and doesn't...

    Trail edition factory roof rack

    I got a replacement knob for my trail edition crossbar at Ace Hardware. Was like $5. I found it in their nut/bolt section of the store in one of the drawers with other knobs. Fit perfectly. I don’t have the part number though. It had a bigger thumb/finger area so it’s easier to tighten/loosen.
