I did my front, partial hood, and both sides up to the windows. Did it for scratch protection only and wow, does it work! Didn't do the full hood, roof, or rear. Too much extra cost for low likelihood of getting scratches there. I had planned to install a Westcott Lo Profile rack so I didn't...

I may do the old fashion way to track mpg, start doing manually tracking when I fill up. I didn't buy the 4Runner because of mpg, but I did think I would get better on the road. I love the my silver girl, happy I bought it.

I drive mostly in normal. Have tried ECO. My mileage isn't that good, maybe 18 city and freeway. I don't have a lead foot and don't speed. I'm disappointed on my mpg, it should be better. I upgraded with the Banks air box and turbo tubes to see if I could get an MPG bump. But still about...

I installed the Westcott Designs lo profile rack and mounted a 7' Kammock awning. Its allows me to park my 4Runner in my garage. I'm happy with it.

I used to use an air mattress but recently switched to a self inflating mattresses. We do use a tent verses sleeping in the 6G. And there's two of us. The air mattress would shake when the other person was moving around on it. Buying two self inflating mattresses cost a lot more but is so...

I decided that getting the 25 ORP Hybrid had most of the important factory 4WD items also the TRD skid plate, sun roof, 14" screen and JBL system. Then I added after market items I thought were important. I have done PPF, lo profile rack, awning, rock sliders, Banks airbox and turbo tubes...

I would be interested in an iPhone app. Its a crime that Toyota did not provide better tools for tracking and displaying driving information. The 14" display is absolutely great for maps apps. But beside that, Toyota does not use the screen space at all. What poor software architecture...

1) Better gas mileage, even driving conservatively I have never gotten 23 mpg. Near impossible to stay in 'electric mode' at slow speeds. But love the torque when off road :D 2) Fold flat back seat. The strap tether to secure the seats is a real joke 3) The 14" display is absolutely great for...

I have a set from my ORP sitting in my garage looking for a home. But I'm in Goleta CA. I really didn't want to ship them.

Yes, I'll put a connection point under the drivers seat rail bolt. The passenger seat rail is easy to attach a cord to then use a D ring. Then I'll use cords to attach D rings to the child safety seat tie downs on the back of the rear seats. Then I will be able to have a cargo net go over...

I looked under the Toyota factory rubber mats (another poor design) and I don't see any tiedowns. I have a 25 ORP Hybrid. I just Googled it and it says they aren't there. Looping some cord to hook with a D clip under the passenger seat rails is easy. The drivers seat is more work. Look...

One complaint about the ORP with hybrid is a shortage of space and the poor design of the folding back seat. I can put a lot more stuff into my ORP if I leave the back seat open. I want to throw a cargo net over the stuff in the back seat to keep them from bouncing around too much when we're...

Did you do a lift? If no, do they rub anywhere when you're out bashing around?

Has anyone installed a Inspired Overland Trailpeak Rooftop Tent on a Westcott Lo Profile rack with Crosswing awning? I can't see how to attach the mounting brackets to the rack cross members under the tent base. How do you get your hands in there? I haven't bought the Inspired Overland...

Are you a member of Costco? Their vehicle purchase program works great and dealers know it, used it twice in the past. Good deals, No haggling. I walked into the local dealer to buy my 25 ORP in December and I said either sell at about invoice or I'll just buy thru Costco program. I knew the...
