    Staying warm while sleeping in T4R

    DO NOT use Mr. Buddy or any other propane heater in a closed vehicle. I had two friends die doing this in the back of an enclosed trailer. The CO2 build up will put you in a sleep you will never wake up from.

    Aftermarket stereo in 2020 - pics and tips

    @OP, why not buy an earlier model hazard switch from Toyota, along with the correct A/C vent parts? Be a much cleaner install.

    Failing Fuel Pump: Dealing with Toyota Corporate and Local Dealer

    What is the point of this post? If the 4Runner is not running properly, get it to the dealer! Why would anyone waste their time "reaching out" to "Toyota Corporate?" Get the truck into the dealer before someone gets hurt. Kids these days. :redbrick: Now get off my lawn!

    Mini review: Husky Liners vs Toyota rubber mats

    The door edge lips on my Husky liners had a couple waves in them at first. An hour in the sun and they laid flat. I had the factory ones too, but they lack coverage up high, especially under the gas pedal. I like the Huskies way better.

    The Chinese Special TRD Grille... on the cheap!

    Im the pickiest guy around and while the CTH grille does have gaps they are not a big deal. Center the trim and it’s fine. The letters are fine too. Adhesive is fine. Order an extra set if you are worried.

    TRD Wheel Cleaning / Protection

    These wheels are a love/hate relationship. You have to keep them clean If you do not, all sorts of stuff gets baked on to them and they look terrible. Lately I have taken to scrubbing them with a soft cloth and Simple Green. Then I either use Dr. Beasleys Matte Wheel liquid (Amazon) or a...

    Am I building a Frankenstein?

    Because there is nothing wrong with a small spacer lift. It will not hurt a thing nor will it change the ride.

    The Chinese Special TRD Grille... on the cheap!

    Here is my tip for getting the letters straight: Put them on straight, using painters tape to line them up. Attach them super lightly. Then take a picture with your phone. You can see how straight the letters are better on your phone and you will see irregularities you don’t notice just by...

    The result of a thousand dollar brake job at 23K miles

    Strikes me as odd that the OP comes here complaining again about being taken advantage of by a dealer. First it was brake pins, now a brake job. Either she and her parents are being taken advantage of, or her dad really does drive his vehicle under some demanding conditions and the dealer is...

    The Chinese Special TRD Grille... on the cheap!

    Why paint it? If it fades in a few years buy a new one.

    Multiple transmission overheating episodes

    Jetboy: While I am not sure about the tranny fluid, I strongly disagree with your assessment that Rotella is bad for a gas engine. Yes, you might ruin your cat over time, but the engine itself will be very happy with the Rotella. Especially with the 5w-40 synthetic.

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

    Dont overthink this. Run the fake sliders. They will protect the bottom of your truck better than nothing.
