Well damn. Went and looked at a 17 spirit deluxe today that an older couple has and can’t use anymore. It’s like freaking brand new. All options. High lift axle, ac, furnace, fantastic fan, 3000 watt Honda gen, garage kept. $17k. Would love to have it, but would have to pull from IRA. Doesn’t...

I‘ve been a member on here for like 10 or 12 years now. That really doesn’t matter for this though. Just wanted to say how much I’ve enjoyed the Grenadier podcasts with Matt Scott and Lynn Calder. I’ve been at the Toyota dealer for over 25 years and there’s just really nothing “exciting”...
Sequoia for what you want seems like to me. Grand Highlander maybe? Yes they make a Grand Highlander now. Considerably bigger than Highlander. 4Runner aint very roomy inside. The new LC aint much bigger than a 4Runner. Now, if you're talking 200 series LC, and it fits the budget, then the LC...
Give these guys a call. https://jarcoinc.com/ for an engine. We just installed one in an 18 Taco and it sounded and ran better than the original before it puked. We did valves on it when it was still under factory warranty. 80k miles later it laid down again. The Jarco is a reman, they also...
I have to agree here. Unless your carrying a large load all the time. Yes my 4runner is lifted and big tires. If I had to do over again Im not sure I would. Some BFGs one size over at most and factory shocks. It has Bilsteins on the front and I;ve been happy with them. The wifes 4th gen needs...
So, we've seen 1 of these so far. The dealer 80 miles has had 3. Two other dealers in the same vicinity havent had any. For the repair part we replaced the short block, (Toyota does not offer a long block or complete engine) VVTI gears, chains, turbos and I forget what else. It was a big repair...
Dammit man. We been talking about moving out of the SoCal Teardrop for a stand up. Then you go positn all this up. Not quite ready, but looks like a good option. Big enough for just us two and I'm sure still easy to tow.
Sequoia. And should you need to haul something big or dirty occasionally buy, borrow or rent a trailer. If your hauling stuff all then time it may be different. For a mainly family rig though, be hard to go wrong with the Sequoia
What are you in now? $35k leaves a ton of opportunity's. Heck find a $15k 4th gen 4Runner Limited with the 4.7. All wheel drive. Bulletproof drivetrain. Use the rest of the money for mods or the move. 1st gen Sequoia pretty hard to beat. Or any for that matter. 2nd gen Sequoia works also.5th gen...
You could do a drive shaft disconnect on the Taco most likely. https://torkliftcentral.com/remco-driveshaft-disconnect Our 4th gen 4runner was a dinghy to someone before we bought it. It had that set up on it. It did cause a slight driveline vibe at highway speed. I eventually replaced the shaft...
Man what a shame. We love ours we bought 6 years ago at Great Lakes Teardrops in Michigan. I think ours was one of the last ones built there. Only thing is the hatch seems to be losing some of its curve and takes a little effort to latch now.
The industry has caused the tech shortage, along with the customer. But thats a whole nother topic all its own.
Not much to changing it. Cant hurt for sure.
In a word ”no”. 3rd gens are not bad at all with a lift of no more than 2 to 3 inches. I would still suggest a diff drop. The needle bearing they offer we have installed in a 2nd gen Tacoma and 5th gen 4runner. Did not help the slight noise some of them make with the lift. Run it on a lift if...
Yeah. could Be they got a piece of trash in the sensor hole during install. And if they had to get rough in the very least it may be damaged. I see that pretty often. And I mean it doesn’t even have to take a direct hit. Banging near it can cause it to fail. Especially at 25 years old. Our shop...
