  1. Sound System - 6th Gen vs 5th Gen

    I can't compare to a 5th gen, but compared to the BOSE system in Mazda's, the JBL sounds more like a standard audio system. Toyota seems to have missed the mark with this one.
  2. Transfer Case Oil Change - what kind?

    I find it ironic that someone named Yotamerchant doesn't want to use Toyota fluid because it's "expensive". I'm done with the internet for today:)
  3. Grab Handle for drivers A pilar? Any mods?

    I received 2 items from my order. I had to email them to inquire about the status of the A-pillar handle, and they responded. It's on backorder until September, so I opted to wait for it to ship, and they're refunding me $10 for the inconvenience.
  4. SXTH Element Trail Pipe installed

    I'm surprised TBH. I haven't done anything that steep with my TH but it looks like Toyota designed the stock exhaust with departure angle in mind. Thanks for confirming!
  5. Front & Rear Differential Fluid Changed / Serviced (2026 4Runner 6th Gen)

    I thought that may have been a typo in the manual. I was thinking that it was supposed to read as 5.9 pints, not quarts. Almost 6 qts in a Toyota rear diff is pretty insane!
  6. SXTH Element Trail Pipe installed

    This seems to be "fixing" an issue that doesn't exist. When I look at my Trailhunter, it looks like the spare tire is more likely to touch the ground than the tailpipe. Has anyone actually scraped the factory tailpipe while offroading?
  7. How to get access to the plastic under the rear side window?

    The install doc for Victory 4x4's molle panels can help guide you in the right direction. https://www.victory4x4.com/product/V4RRMP-6G.html
  8. Father’s Day Toyota Sale

    I'm curious, shouldn't that be covered under warranty or is it excluded due to trail damage?
  9. How's your Toyota paint job holding up?

    Well, there's fact and opinion. Fact: PPF will protect the clearcoat against rock chips, scratches, and UV damage. Fact: Ceramic coating will protect the clearcoat against UV damage and make the vehicle easier to wash/clean. Those aren't opinions, preconceptions, or superstitions. That's just...
  10. How's your Toyota paint job holding up?

    One can argue that taking care of your body, eating healthy, and exercising only delays the inevitable as well. What's your point? Are you simply trying to start an argument? The fact is PPF, ceramic coatings, or any paint protection for that matter is going to protect the paint and keep it in...
  11. How's your Toyota paint job holding up?

    Improper wash techniques and neglect generally lead to the swirls and marring you see on vehicle paint. Most modern vehicles, including Toyota, have thin paint so proper car is necessary to keep it looking it's best. If you're concerned about rock chips and scratches, PPF is the way to go. I...
