27f would work
31 would work with some mods i think, depending on brand
94r would fit, just shorter
24f would fit, still small
34r with height adapter.
not sure what brands napa offers, but im still rocking 31m from northstar for 6+ years now. i think you might be able to find the oddysee brand.

Replaced my battery with a larger CCA rating. 760 CCA 70amp Hours NAPA Legend Premium AGM. I get a decent discount from NAPA due to their partnership with my job so it made sense to try it out.
Needed at least a 650cca battery for my winch I’ll be putting in, hopefully soon. Need to get my voltage booster ordered for the increased voltage charging needed.
OLD, but still good

The 4X Innovations sliders are on. Very happy with the quality and the price is beyond reasonable. (Some competitors' shipping alone is damn near the cost of these sliders.) Painted them with the same Rustoleum Black Stainless Steel metallic paint I used on my roof rack.
Left real axle seal sprayed everything. I could have fixed it when I saw the first drip but I wanted to be sure it was 80 degrees and humid. Also I love that all my brake parts got fully coated.
I've done the job plenty of times, so it was only a few hours with minimal effort other than reattaching the ebrake springs. I think it'll leak again by next year. I feel like the seal cup needs to be 1/2" instead of only 1/4" so it rides farther out onto the axle. It likely barely has engagement the way it is designed.

Have you checked/replaced your diff breather?

If you make one change, you can prevent it from leaking. Flip the retainer around so the bevel faces outboard. See my thread from my FJC.
Cut the old retainer off with a dremmel and cold chissel. Heat the new retainer so it expands and drop it in place. Once it cools, it will seal on the axle. Dont forget the C clip

Rotated my tires myself for the 1st time on any vehicle (always took it in since it’s free anyways). Neighbor recommended moving rears straight forward and moving fronts back and cross, seems to make sense.
Put in the voltage booster from Dirty Parts for my AGM battery I just got. Thanks for the tip [MENTION=119302]4RunnerAquasport[/MENTION]
Dirty Parts
Added right at .50volts

Installed the Seat Jackers by Desert Does it. Definitely gives support to the back of your legs. Much better angle and cradles your butt, especially with the new seat foam I just installed and new Clazzio leather seat cover. Feels much more comfortable overall. They are pricey and I cringed at the price but they are very heavy duty and well designed.

Hadn’t seen any photos with the trim pieces reinstalled. They snapped back on and with the Weathertech mats It’s not very obvious.

Did you replace it with ATF? The fact that the 4th Gen uses ATF as PS fluid surprises a lot of people, including me when I bought mine in 2014.

Yea it says it right there on the cap to use dexron atf so I don’t see why people get so confused.

I plan on getting a dual battery setup (along with many, many other things lol) one of these days. That’s a pretty good boost.
Mine starts out at approx. 14.4v but when I start driving after a few minutes the charging Volts start to drop off and after about 15 minutes it’s down to about 13.8v-14v. Have you monitored yours? Is this normal? Just curious if the system regulates itself even with the booster? Never kept my cigarette charger with volts displayed plugged in and payed attention to it to see if it varied before.
