  1. Changes to the 2026 4Runner vs. the 2025 (standard trailer brake controller, sound dampening (hood & engine bay), interior door panel filler/rubber

    My 25 SR5 doesn’t (yet) have any interior noises, thankfully. The suspension is noisy when its cold. I suspect its iced up and makes a growl on speed bumps on cold mornings
  2. Premium headlights, worth it?

    I think my stock SR5 lights are probably the best set of headlights on a vehicle I’ve ever had.
  3. Active Grille Shutters (AGS) - how does it work?

    They were open. Wasn’t even sure if they are functional on the SR5. They do rattle a bit
  4. Active Grille Shutters (AGS) - how does it work?

    Unfortunately. Some of us have to live on top of the Earth where the sun doesn’t do much this time of year
  5. Active Grille Shutters (AGS) - how does it work?

    Can someone briefly explain how the active grill shutters work? It would be real cool (pun) if they closed whilst the engine is desperately trying to warm up at -46° this morning. Can they be programmed?
  6. Want step bars but freight to Alaska is cost prohibitive

    Looking to buy step bars for my stock 2025 SR5. Many websites to choose from but haven’t found one that offers “reasonable” shipping. Does anyone know of a vendor that offers “free” shipping to Alaska. Most offer free shipping until you read the fine print, or they ship 2nd Day Air for $300 or more.
  7. Engine block heater on Gen 6

    I can confirm that in Fairbanks Alaska it has been -40° F for several nights, and my winterization package has been flawless. I have small heating pads siliconed to the oil pans. 1 each on engine oil, and transmission. Probably 100w each. One battery heat pad which is probably 75w. I plan to add...
  8. The StickerFab radio knob is just Toyota part# 90010-23059 (for $5 more).

    Does the knob truly pull off? I don’t want to create a bigger problem by using Hulk Hands
  9. This thing is a beast in a foot of snow on icy road

    275/70/17 on the stock wheels
  10. This thing is a beast in a foot of snow on icy road

    SR5 “street” tires do well but I can’t wait to get some taller A/Ts
  11. What'd you drive before your 6th Gen 4Runner?

    2017 Silverado LT Crewcab 4x4. Engine left the chat with lifter failure. Probably should have sued because of the “known” issues but was almost happy to have a reason to get the 4Runner.
  12. SR5 Owners - What do you think?

    I only wish I had Auto 4x4, and heated seats. Didn’t think upgrading was worth it.
  13. Squeaky suspension in negative temps?

    I’m embarrassed that I had to look up MPLS. 🤣
  14. Squeaky suspension in negative temps?

    It’s been-30 to -40 here in Fairbanks Ak for a couple weeks and yes, the bushings are groaning, brakes are squealing and axles are grinding. It'll stop when it warms up. Hopefully.
  15. Westcott Level Lift (2.5" / 0.75") on SR5 4x4 - comparison side shots (before & after photos)

    Subscribed to your YouTube channel this morning, good videos. I want to go with the same tire size (275/70/17) but is there a reason you went with offset wheels? Would that size work with my stock 17’s without rubbing? I like the look of the stock wheels. I wouldn’t dare ask that question in...
