  1. Service Menu Access Procedure (How-to Instructions)

    I get this...and sometimes have to follow these steps when it's connected to my wife's phone instead of mine. But for some reason when I remote start the vehicle this option doesn't work.
  2. What did you do to your 6th Gen 4Runner today?? 👨🏻‍🔧 🧰 🛠

    I was holding out hope that someone would make me a front hitch, but in the end I gave up and started planning for carrying stuff in the back. Kuat swing away, Harbor Freight cargo rack, aluminum mesh to keep the small bits from dropping through, and a Curt hitch pin tensioner to keep the...

  4. What did you do to your 6th Gen 4Runner today?? 👨🏻‍🔧 🧰 🛠

    Installed a heritage grill. My wife asked for it for her birthday present back in March and I waited until now to install it. Didn't want to risk broken clips. Quite the tedious process but went pretty well due to some good threads on here and a few YouTube videos. Went with the TH bronze...
  5. TRD Pro/Trailhunter Heritage Grille Swap (Upper & Lower Grill) on SR5, with part numbers

    I'm swapping my TRDORP grill for a TH grill this weekend. Just the upper and not relocating the camera. Any tips aside from watching the normal YouTube videos?
  6. Want a toyota crown seat as a chair ???

    I favor the Malaga high back from Global. Good balance between price and longevity. I'm a pretty big guy and mine still looks near-new after about 8 years of use.
  7. Want a toyota crown seat as a chair ???

    While I can 100% concur with your sentiment, it happens on the regular where I work. I'm the MX Supervisor at a law firm with about 325 employees. Partners are given $14K to spend on furnishing their offices and premium desk chairs can regularly surpass $3500.
  8. Flaking paint on the hitch

    I think it's just a crappy powder coat treatment. You can tell that the entire face is bubbling and will continue to lose paint. And I understand the points being made that salt/weather/abuse is a fact of life. But my 5-year old truck has a hitch that looks like new. It is used regularly...
  9. Show of hands: Those who do NOT want a moonroof (TRD off-road Premium)

    I didn't want it but we could only find a TRDORP in Everest with the sunroof. I never use them, don't want leaks in the future, and am annoyed I had to pay extra for it. 🤷‍♂️
  10. Flaking paint on the hitch

    I noticed a couple days ago the paint is flaking off the hitch. Never used it other than the rubber boot that came with the 4Runner. Anyone else experienced this? I can see some unfinished stuff flashing with rust quickly, but this is powder coating that is flaking away. Especially with only...
  11. Who's had their 6th gen for a year now? What do you love/hate?

    Hate's a strong word. But I really dislike the distance between the centerline of the driver seat and the outside edge of the vehicle. It always seems like a larger span than necessary and requires a bit of sliding. Couple that with the high bolsters and seems like the 4Runner will give you a...
  12. Stuck in mud at Pine Barrens. Noob

    If you have a yard, one of those oscillating grass sprinklers underneath your rig and moved around occasionally can do wonders.
  13. Stuck in mud at Pine Barrens. Noob

    Looks like it was a great time until it wasn't! From this angle it looks like you rutted it enough after a few passes to high-center yourself. I do think your boards might have helped if you dug a little and put them in front of both driver-side tires. They might give you just enough of a...
  14. Midland MXT575 GMRS Two Way Radio 50 Watt - Hidden Install

    In the US, yes. Not sure if that is the case in Canada. I have had my license for a couple years now but haven't installed a radio yet in my 4Runner. Have to say that this post is really pushing me to take that step. We started with FRS radios that were helpful for parking our camper (I...
