    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    Installed Apex Overland front recovery points before Moab trip next week. Took them to my local powder coater to get matched as close as I could to the Dobinsons teal springs. Had to use my dremel to knock down the large weld next to the main bolt and paint over it for protection (only had teal...

    Dobinsons 5th Gen T4R Suspension options - from Exit Offroad

    It is ever so slightly stiffer than stock from what I've been able to tell. My wife (primary driver) hasn't noticed a difference at all. She's only put about 200 miles on it, so I don't think everything has fully settled into place just yet.

    Dobinsons 5th Gen T4R Suspension options - from Exit Offroad

    Big thank you to Mike for the help in making sure the items I picked would get me to the goal I had in mind. Ordered Dobinsons C59-302 front coils, GS59-700 front struts, C59-599 rear coils, GS59-705 rear struts. Took less than a week for delivery from Florida to my house in Southern California...

    Oil Change 5th Gen: How To- LOTS of PICS!

    Fumoto is sending me out a new valve, no charge, and also provided me with a return label for the broken one. All free of charge. Their customer service is fantastic and was really quick to reply (during normal business days). I'll try the valve again on the next oil change. Hopefully the...

    Oil Change 5th Gen: How To- LOTS of PICS!

    Definitely just finger tight, I can fit under the 4runner with plenty of room to spare at stock height with no jack (aka skinny dude syndrome). Tool used was a standard 3/8" drive socket and wrench, very little leverage. Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk

    Oil Change 5th Gen: How To- LOTS of PICS!

    Just finished my first oil change on my wife's 4runner after she went through the 25k miles in free services in a year. This directions made it very easy to follow. I've never had to use an oil filter of this type on my other cars so a bit of a learning process. Ran into one hiccup though when...

    Are there any SUCCESS stories with KO2’s balancing? (Window shopping for now)

    Just purchased E load KO2 275/70/17 for my wife's 2021 Venture and all balanced without the need for any weights. Immediately took it on a 1500 mile road trip without any issues.

    Continuous WIFI drop

    With my wife's 2021, it is a total crap shoot as to whether or not the WiFi will automatically turn on with the vehicle. Been that way since we purchased it earlier in the year. There has been no pattern or discernible cause as to why the WiFi turns on automatically or has to be done manually.

    Former truck owners who switched to 4Runner, chime in!

    Went from an 09 F150 Lariat (with locking tonneau cover) with the 5.4L V8 to a 21 4rnr Venture. They're both primarily my wife's vehicles, but I regularly drive them on weekends with the family loaded in. I personally would have bought a new F150 if the choice was up to me, but my wife has...
