I finally had the chance to get the 4Runner off-road. Drove from Seattle out East to the Stampede Pass area that has a big network of service roads. I was chasing my son in his modified Wrangler and had zero issues keeping up. While a lot of the area is just gravel / dirt roads, there are plenty...

I've noticed what smells like the catalytic converter when I'm in traffic and have the rear window down. I'm guessing that it may reduce in intensity as everything breaks in. I've only got a few hundred miles at this point.

For most cars, I don't think there is a return on the investment that makes sense unless you plan to keep the vehicle a very long time. A good PPF job will cost from $2500 for partial front to over $10k full vehicle. On a rare super car, maybe. On a daily driver, I just don't see it making...

Thanks. The first photo is Mt Rainier in the background taken from Tacoma.

Hello, I'm feeling fortunate to have taken delivery of my white TRD Pro today. I owned a gen 3 many years ago and it was always one of my all time favorite vehicles. I've been driving a Mach E Rally for the last year, but after experiencing the gen 6 redesign in person, I knew I needed to have...
