Intercooler upgrade...I didn't know that this was a thing. Pretty awesome. Could you tell any difference after installing it? https://sxthelement.com/products/2024-toyota-tacoma-4runner-land-cruiser-front-mount-intercooler?variant=50200023892266

Ooooh 3rd gen manual! I had a 2000 3rd gen manual with the locking diff that I wish I hadn't ever sold. I hope you held on to yours!

Yeah never ever buy the first year of a redesign is what I always say! But I guess I forgot lol. I had a Tundra with 37s and really wanted something that got better gas mileage and having had 4 other 4Runners, I was really excited about the new one so I went for it. Since the Land Cruiser and...

Kitchener?? Really? My girlfriend lives in Cambridge and I'm there quite often with my 4Runner. Never thought I'd have to worry about my truck getting stolen while there though. Thieves suck. Sorry they got yours 😔

What air pressure are your tires at? Over inflated tire has been the most common reason for ride complaints on new 4Runners and new Land Cruisers. I've owned every gen 4Runner other than a 5th gen but have ridden in several of those and had some as rental cars and I think they all ride about...

Looks great! Did your frame have mounts for sliders or did you have to drill any holes? What size KO3s are you running?

Those look like spots caused by iron on the roads. Common on any car but white cars will drive you nuts with them. They will polish off with a bit of work. Is 4Runner ceramic coated?

9 weeks old tomorrow. 8200 miles. Air dam came off at 5000 miles. Just drove 600 miles driving 75 to 80mph and the meter is still hanging out at 22.5 mpg. Seems like this is where it's going to stay at. Last tank that I actually calculated the mileage was maybe 3 tanks ago and it was 23 mpg.

Most toyotas are like this now. My 18 tundra and 22 tacoma shifters are the same way. Once in D, push the shifter to the left and you enter S mode where you can manually make gear changes. It won't let you overrev the engine but it will let you hold lower gears when needed if it won't overrev...

Use 4 Low whenever you can if speeds are low enough and if you aren't using 4 Low, use the manual shifting mode on the transmission and use the lowest gear you can and let the engine Rev more. That should help keep transmission temperatures down. Same thing as when towing, manual mode and use a...

Well people from Wisconsin say that but I grew up in the southeast and always tell them they don't know what humidity is in Wisconsin lol

Wisconsin isn't humid like Mississippi but it isn't dry like Arizona either so I didn't know what to select there.

For the first 1,000 miles I was at under 18 miles per gallon. At some point after 1,000 or 1200 miles is when my mileage improved.

I stretched this tank a little further than I'd like to but in typical Toyota fashion, when it says you have 0 miles of range you really have closer to 30 miles of range. But the reserve is a lot smaller than with any other Toyota I've owned it seems. It took 17.4 gallons when it said my range...

What wheels and tires do you have on your 4Runner? And do you have the stupid air dam still on it? Also do you have an aftermarket roof rack or the ARB roof rack or crossbars on yours? I I am at 4900 miles with mostly highway driving and I'm averaging 21 or 22 miles per gallon still. Some of it...
