To add to my prior post, it's still not clear to me, how this white plastic funnel becomes the problem. It seems separated from the chain, but the problem is, the tire needs to be lowered quite a bit before you can even see what's going on around this plastic thing (it's blocked by the tire when...

The good people at Discount Tire fixed it for me. IT'S THAT WHITE PLASTIC "FUNNEL" THAT IS THE PROBLEM. They needed a combination of a floor jack and several raisings and lowerings of the rod, as shards of plastic fell out, before they finally got it free. Pic below of what was left of that...

I am interested in that rack, though this issue is more generic and not exclusive to that rack. Here's what AI says (I pushed back since its first couple answers seemed vague and generic), FWIW: To answer your question with absolute certainty for the 2025/2026 Toyota 4Runner (6th Generation)...

In just this small sample on this thread we have several people experiencing it binding, so perhaps it was once reliable, or perhaps most people could go the whole life of the vehicle and never or seldom use it, or toyota changed vendors for some part of it, and they've certainly changed the...

Shake, wiggle, push, pull, twist right, twist left, doesn't matter. But there's only so much you can move it when the tire has barely broken loose. Also not dirty. Still won't come loose. Unless something broke, it's just not a good design. This shouldn't happen.

I need to add air to my spare (2025 ORP) and when I tried to lower the spare, I could only get the tool to turn about 1.5 turns, so the tire just breaks loose, but then the tool won't turn any further and I don't know how hard I should force it. Anyone had this happen before? I tried...

Here's a weird one: I have an ORP, since April 2025, no squeal ever...until 2 days ago, while backing out of garage (it was humid, I'm in the desert SW, but it's not like it's never been humid before). But yesterday, low humidity, no squeal. While that's not yet enough for me to take it in for...

You're welcome! And by the way, being annoyed by it is a good enough reason, in and of itself. No other explanations necessary.

This is baseless misinformation. Do better. I'll re-post what I posted 16 months ago on this forum: " I don't know why people think implementing Auto Start-stop (ASS) was just a simple matter of adding a 0 mph detector and shutting off the engine and calling it done. There's way more to it than...

The revival of this thread motivated me to go down the tedious road of the only viable solution (in part due to Toyota still using FAT32, the crappy large font navigation, and because the toyota system doesn't reliably recognize tags for FLAC files) to creating the equivalent of playlists. And...

I ended up using this stubby PNY 256GB USB drive: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSLRSPS4 recommended in some other related thread and it has been operating reliable for over a year (except for the weird random switch to powering up in FM radio when you normally default to the plugged in USB...

Thank you! It begins at the 22m37 time stamp if anyone else is looking for it. (and thanks to Nodak for pointing out its existence in the first place)

I must not be looking in the right place> All I found was this thread: https://www.4runner6g.com/forum/threads/non-jbl-stereo-standard-audio-system-speaker-sizes-speaker-harness-bracket-info-upgrade-info.5972/ but no video showing grill/speaker removal. When you have a moment, I'd sure...

"Front Radar Sensor"...is that marketing-speak for antenna?

From some angles, it looks like the Bronze Oxide color available on Tacomas (one of my favorite Toyota colors and I was hoping they would provide in on 4runners but no luck). From other angles it's clearly gray. Anyway, looks good.
