    Heat for the 4runner

    Second that. My choice when OTR. If you do want to look at propane...look at olympic catalytic! Safe for travel traiĺers.

    Thinking of going from Tacoma to 4Runner

    I acted out of safety and family first. 07 Taco access, to 18 Runner. I h8 the automatic, the engines seem completely different, feel like the 07 was just more torquey. I miss the throwing muddy clothes, chainsaws and firewood in the bed. Off-road I think the Taco has a much lower CG! and all...

    Bike racks

    Why does everyone have the flip down style bike rack -VS- the swing away type? I have a 5th gen 4Runner, and 4 bikes to carry, It seems to me that the swing away would give you actual unobstructed access to the cargo area. Anyone have the flip down style clue me in? Also, I will need to use my...

    Here I stand at the crossroads edge…

    As a taco owner, I wish I'd gone for the 4runner and guy a little trailer. Short wheelbase vs long wheelbase.

    09 Tacoma Budget Build Options (For Mild Expo trips)

    Thank you. This is probably the most realistic thread I've viewed. I will never have the time or money. I mean all I want is some armor (sliders bumpers and skids), lockers of course, and a modest lift and tire setup. Right? This puts it in my perspective, 1grand or just under; baby steps.what...

    Tires - how aggressive do I need to go?

    High heat, high payload, highway and safety; Michelin. You can get stuck or blow a sidewall on anything, but you wont be doing 70mph when it happens.

    Older and Wiser minds please chime in!

    Double wrap the stuff. Using either large Rubbermaids, rooftop Cargo carrier (soft or hard), or a custom drawer system. I use Rubbermaid action packers, and try to double wrap things up inside. Everything stays dry, but dust does get in. The advantage to them, is they can be rearranged for...

    2011 ultimate doublecab build questions

    Carl, it is not my intent to hijack your thread. Hopefully I'm. Curiously adding to it. I have recently heard of "the yellow wire mod" that makes the front and rear limited slip full-time; I was never aware that my 07 access even had a front LSD. Is there any truth to the yellow wire mod?

    2011 ultimate doublecab build questions

    I'm a little nieve here, and this is a great thread. Let me ask, when you say no uniballs, does that mean buy your coilover of choice, set to 2.5" and that's it keep the UCA's?

    Show us your Toyota 4runner, tacoma or truck.

    Good photography. Do you mind me asking what camera/ lens you use?

    Could a Tacoma be right for me for an Expo Rig?

    4runner seems to be right up your alley. Short, narrow, comfortable.

    Tacoma roof rack idea input

    "Nutserts" thank you Rocket Science. Thank you for answering my question. I guess with that said, we're going to be going to the steelyard and whipping up some Ute beds and ladder racks. :-)
