Thanks, I was thinking that too. Now I just have to find some fairly good takeoffs for a decent price. Or I'll just wait for the bilstein's to come onto the market.

I'll chime in on this one, I retired in 2024 and bought myself a 2024 Mercedes GLC brand new. Within 200 miles I started getting electrical problems that spawned across all Electronics. Was in the shop five times before it had 800 miles on it. So the fifth time in the dealership I called...

I'm wondering if I went with a takeoff set of Ome shocks and struts from a trailhunter if those would be a straight bolt on for my orp. Also wondering if the OME are adjustable in the lift area. Kind of wanting to stay away from putting in new upper control arms. Thanks in advance

How did you like the ome Factory shocks and struts? I have the orp model and have been waiting for Bilstein to release their leveling kit I think they're the 6110s. I've been looking at om but have never had any experience with them. In the old days going back to my third generation, I had...

="bakutheleo, post: 94081, member: 5761"] I have this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H9S71LW?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1 I have not used it on my 4Runner yet,, but have with other vehicles (older Toyota Sienna and more recent RAV4). Android only, no iOS. I believe this one...

Hello all, Just wondering what some of you are using for your OBD2 tool.? Speaking specifically for brake pad replacements, engine light resets and engine code analysis. Not looking for an elaborate/hundreds of dollars for a tool, just something that is practical and usable for me the average...

Does this cloud based camera tap into your car's power so in the event of an incident will it activate or is it constantly running on vehicle power.?

I see that the part fits all TRD off road frames. Thanks again

So this is for a hybrid model. Mine is non hybrid. I'll have to check with the dealer parts people to see if this is the same for all models. Thanks for the info.

Hello all, Does anybody know if Toyota just makes a transmission plate for the underside. I have toyed with the full plate that TRD aftermarket offers but I choose not to have one panel to do everything, I like them broken down into individual plates. So really all I need is a transmission...

I would only add oil if it needs it. Gear oil expands and creates a lot of pressure. But keep in mind the differentials have venting caps. These are supposed to close when submerged. I would not trust them; so if you should submerge your axles I would definitely check for water in there. I'm...

Yeah I had a big time lemon Mercedes that had the same kick issue, erratic problem where I looked like a one-legged Flamingo doing The Jig every time I tried to open the hatch with my hands full! This is for the birds no pun intended. Mine works and then it doesn't, then it will open with a...

We should keep this information on the down low because all the smash and grab jackasses out there won't need to smash anymore! They can just push really hard and get in. That was the first thing that I thought of when I saw my rear quarter Windows spongy like that. Easy easy access! But I...

Mine is loud also. I did notice that with other models at the dealership for comparison it was blatantly loud on all of them I looked at. I personally don't feel that is normal. I am thinking this is a design defect that will surface next year or third year in this generation. Most likely out of...

Well I went out there and checked it, and mine is perfectly tight on both back windows and front windows. Typical 4Runner window seal. Yours does look odd. I took a picture for comparison. Mine is an orp.
