It is with a heavy heart that I've decided to sell my beloved 4Runner - this has easily been the most reliable, competent, and sharp-looking vehicle I've ever owned. Unfortunately, I need a full size pickup around the farm too often to make this the right vehicle for me-- I need a family hauler...

I have FOUR stock Yokohama Geolander G96B Tires for sale in excellent condition- this is the stock tire size for 2010 through 2016 4Runner Limiteds. These tires have just 700 miles on them...I swapped them out for a larger size almost immediately. They are priced at $258 / Tire on...

Because I had a shop install it, I can't be certain. I know the guys have a great reputation, so I expect that if it was in the kit, they put it on. How would I check? It seems strange that the noise would only occur after an alignment— perhaps an illusory correlation?

Hello all, wanted to report my issue and see if anyone else has encountered it. I have an Icon Stage 1 and LR UCAs. I had my 4Runner aligned about 6 months ago (at Toyota), and immediately thereafter, a starting having a CLANG! intermittently when I turn the wheel hard to the left or right, or...

Lolrax - To some degree, I'd have to agree. I feel like my favorite car company (Toyota) has been falling behind the curve on updates lately. The updates to the T4R are pretty much unremarkable, although I would LOVE to have the ventilated seats here in FL. Similarly, the recent updates...

Pay no attention to the haters, Windom..White letter out is the ticket!

12.2K miles. No issues.

It seems like some other forums have debates about whether doing a diff drop is a good idea from a geometry / lubrication prospective for the differential. Some feel that although it may help the CV angles, a diff drop puts more stress on the differential and other drive line components. I...

Thanks for the replies guys. Sounds like ThirdToy has come up with a good, low-cost solution...I'm going to give that a wing and go from there!

I'm interested in swapping in some more powerful lighting... has anyone installed more robust fog lights (or stronger driving lights in place of the current fogs)?

I second what Harper said. His Runner is a machine that is specifically built to be AWESOME. I approve, and I know Barney Stinson would approve as well. For those of us who, like myself, love having the capability of a Runner but unlike Harper rarely put it through anything off road that...

My two cents on the 5th gen being slow... My last vehicle was a 2008 GMC Sierra Denali with the 6.2L V8. In factory form, it had 403HP and 417FT-LB of torque. I had some work done to it, so it was likely pushing somewhere around 450/450. Interestingly, in stock form the power delivery felt...

Where do I sign? Dear 1engineer, In reference to your statement: "How about if they put a V8 in a 4Runner with 600 hp but only got 5 mpg?" Where can I find this rumored beast? It sounds AWESOME! :)

HAHAHAHAHA, LOL! :) As a connoisseur of fine cheesy jokes, I approve.

Not sure how to "multi-quote" to answer more than one question at a time. But to answer yours-- the backup camera does a great job of showing the whole Hitch Haul during backing, day or night....unless the box is on it. The box blocks the camera, so I have to go through the anguish of using my...
