    Considering selling and moving to a sedan (Subaru WRX Limited) thoughts????

    Its funny I came across this thread, I haven't visited this forum in some time... I sold my 2013 4Runner SR5 a little over a year ago, and bought a 2016 WRX Limited 6MT. I paid $34,900 for my 4Runner, and was actually able to sell it to a Toyota dealership for ~$28,500! It had 50k miles on...

    Bad weather - 4wd operation

    If the 4Lo light is flashing and beeping, that means it isn't in 4Lo. It means you have selected 4Lo, but it isn't/can't transition into 4Lo. When it is solid it is in 4Lo. If you aren't actually in 4Lo, you won't be able to turn on ATRAC. Once you are in 4Hi (Solid Green Icon), come to a...

    Metallic Creaking/Ticking In Front End

    My 2013 4Runner SR5 is currently at 45k miles, 100% Stock, and has seen little off-road action. Lately I have been noticing a metallic creaking/ticking, and sometimes popping noise coming from my front end when making slow (under 25mph) 90* turns. Depending on the turn sometimes it is a single...

    Is there anything we can do to bumb the performance on the 4.0?

    The problem isn't that the 1GR-FE doesn't have enough power, it has plenty, as can be seen when you floor it. The real problem is the throttle mapping isn't 1:1. When you press the pedal down 50%, the ECU equates that to say 30% throttle input. That combined with a TCU that never wants to...

    finally test drove the GX460 after driving the......

    I am surprised to hear so many comments about the reliability issues of the GX470. We bought my wife's 2006 GX470 about 2 years ago, with 82k miles. It just hit 100k miles, and we have had no issues with it, and have only had to keep up with the standard maintenance. I am just about to...

    Diesel coming in 2016

    Ive been following this whole "Diesel Gate" Scandal, as I have previously owned 2 VW "Clean Diesels". I seriously wounder if VW is going to survive this, and what this will mean for small diesels in the US.

    Lesson Learned: Mother-in-Laws don't drive my vehicles.

    Whenever I let my wife drive my 4Runner, I always worry a little that she may forget to remove the parking brake. But then I remember that there is a bright red brake light illuminated on the dash, and a very loud and obnoxious constant and solid tone that sounds if you forget to remove it...
