It could be worse. You could drive an FJ. Those windshields are rock magnets.

Sounds like it's time to take off the cover on the inside of the lift gate and see what's going on with the window. I'm sure there is a YouTube video out there that will help you with this.

The great thing about a mod such as vinyl stripes is that it's very noncommittal. I am not sure if I would have went with the rear stripes, but it does make your 4Runner more unique. I like it.

I agree! Put a little grease or anti seize on them and re-install them. Great way to keep debris and moisture out of the holes.

It's tough to tell with oil smears on a paper towel. I'm no oil expert but when I changed my oil recently the old oil was black. As mentioned before you never get all the used oil out so they new will mix with the old and discolor pretty quickly. If you have the space to do so I would...

If I remember correctly, the stock inverter is only rated to 400 watts. Not sure you would find an electric chainsaw that works under 400 watts. I like the idea of getting a battery powered chainsaw for a couple of reason. First, no pesky extension cord that's going to take up space...

My two cents, FWIW: When you replace your hardware use 316 SST (A4) and not 18-8 (A2) SST especially if you're in the rust belt. The 316 will hold up a little better. Might want to take the extra step and use safety torx head screws for anti-theft. Pro tip- dip the first few threads of...

It's great having all the room in the back of the 4runner to store coolers, fridges, boxes of camping gear and other items. I'm not sure if anyone has brought this up but when strapping your stuff down, make sure you're doing it in a way to also keep all these items from flying forward in the...

If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits eighty-eight miles per hour... you're gonna see some serious shit.

I have the Viofo A119 and it seems to be doing fine. I think I installed it four or five months ago. Electronics get beat up by the sun when you have them mounted on the inside of your windshield so keep that in mind. Some will last longer than others. The beautiful thing about YouTube is...

Not the greatest pictures since I didn't remove the other things from the back but I think you can see what I did. In the end, I have a little over 80" of sleeping room. I just lay down an inflatable thermarest pad and use a sleeping bag. Move the passenger seat forward for more room and...

Sorry it's taken a few days to get to this. From the flip up extension to the hatch I have a little more than 80".

Disclaimer first, I am not an expert when it comes to batteries. That being said, I have recently purchased an AGM battery for my starter battery and am looking at purchasing a deep cycle hybrid for my dual battery set up. Charging AGM batteries can be tricky in cars that weren't designed to...

I have removed the back seats of my 4runner and replaced them with a platform made of 1/2" plywood covered with cheap Home Depot carpet. I have added a 6" piece behind the passenger seat on a piano hinge with a kickstand. When it's time to sleep I move the passenger seat forward and swing...

I live in Southern California and painted my sliders myself. I didn't want to spend the extra money on powder coat. Just make sure you prep well. Do your best to clean off all of the oil that's on the sliders before painting. You will use more paint that you think. I used flat black but...
