  1. OEM AUX Switch Alternatives

    “Every time you try to operate on of these weird black controls that are labelled in black on a black background, a little black light lights up black to let you know you’ve done it." Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, #2)
  2. Pros/Cons of OEM Digital rearview mirror vs Dashcam rearview mirror

    The main issue I have with electronic/digital/automatic mirrors is loss of control. I prefer a fully manual mirror. And, no, "but you can turn it off", isn't good enough.
  3. Stormtrooper by Van-Solo (TRD Off Road Hybrid)

    When will it be dun dun dun dun-ta-dun?
  4. Figuring out tire/wheels to get for 2025 4Runner Hybrid TRD Offroad Premium, no lift?

    "Luigi know what you want. Black-wall tires, they blend into the pavement, but these white-wall tires, they say look at me, here I am, love me." -- Luigi
  5. Part time 4 wd

    I definitely go months when I don't get off-road and engage 4WD. But I do try to get off pavement as often as I can and I engage 4WD whenever I'm on dirt. I don't think it's anything you need be concerned about, but seek to find a little dirt when you can. And I expect that even a hundred feet...
  6. 2026 4Runner specs hopes/wants?

    Mainly internal and external color choices. We're closing on a house next week, so our purchase has also been pushed back a bit.
  7. "WAVE MAKER" is new 2026 4Runner TRD PRO color (photos & video) 🌊

    I'm hoping for an ORP in a deep rich blue at some future time.
  8. Replace OEM inverter?

    Possibly, but, if so, that's not a failing of the inverter itself. I blame the lawyers. :) It occurred to me, that I could keep a power supply in the car to have more power while driving, if there's a need. There's been no need so far.
  9. What Convinced You to Go with the 6th Gen?

    A 3rd gen body on a 6th gen frame/drivetrain would be awesome. :) Jus'sayin'.
  10. Fixed Running Boards - Keep or Remove (TRD ORP)

    Keep. We had running boards on our 3rd Gen and we miss them on our 5th gen (which we bought used). Will definitely get running boards when we get our 6th gen. (Not steps. And not articulated.)
  11. Overland Expo Flagstaff, AZ - anyone going?

    I'll look into it.
  12. Curious if a new 4runner would be a good option

    If I could afford a dedicated off-roader, it would be a Wrangler, and I would only have a Wrangler if it were a dedicated off-roader. I see no use for other Jeep-branded vehicles. I bought my first 4Runner in 1997 and I chose it over the Explorer and Grand Cherokee. My 4Runners have been my...
  13. PHOTOS-First drive into the Mountains - Crown King, AZ

    Still never been to Crown King.
  14. Arizona here

    I haven't spent much time up that way. And I didn't go off-road when I have (with my 5th gen). So some tips of good drives would be useful once I get my 6th gen.
