  1. Freeze Plug Heater

    On my 3rd Gen Tacoma there was a recall for fires. I had my dealer test it each fall just to make sure and all was fine. I haven’t heard of any recall for the 4Runner. I have run battery blanket and oil pan heater on different vehicles and those work great too.
  2. Freeze Plug Heater

    The block heater came installed on mine, worked awesome on those extremely cold days/nights. OEM gets my vote. Northern Ontario for reference.
  3. 275/70R17 Nokian Outpost nAT tires installed

    nATs are awesome in the rain and snow!
  4. Does your 4Runner have a transmission thermostat?

    It may be my lack of understanding things in general but wouldn’t having a thermostat-less transmission mean that your always running it cooler cause it’s always flowing? I could be completely out to lunch here though sorry. Im 23000km and I haven’t noticed any issues with the shifting on my...
  5. 17” wheels and caliper clearance?

    I haven’t had any issue with mud and dirt from off-roading with the SR5 wheels. Deep snow or slush/ice never made any noise or issues either. I do feel like the OR/Pro/TH having 18” wheels might have been for a reason though and could be worth keeping some extra room if your doing a lot of...
  6. Best A/T Tires Review: Scorpion All Terrain Plus, Nokian Outpost NAT, BFG KO3, Westlake SL369, Wrangler Duratrac RT, Wildpeak AT4, Recon Grappler

    I have been running the Nokians for 4 years on 2 different vehicles and they do rock! As a year round tire I love them. I just switched to a dedicated studded Nokians for the amount of ice we have to tackle, but for winters the nAT is awesome
  7. 2025 4Runner Transmission Overheating on Climbs Off-Road

    Matt what speeds were you doing? Was it off-road or paved? How long was the climb for time wise?
  8. Upgrading SR5 Differential?

    ECGS can sell you built 3rd member with a TrueTrac or locker but I haven’t seen anything offered in their site yet for the 6th gen, might be worth a phone call. You can always send them yours if you can live with the downtime too. I went with them when I swapped diffs on the Mrs Tacoma sport...
  9. Rust issues after 1 Wisconsin winter?

    Waffles did you do any kind of undercoating?
  10. Any engine or tarnsmission problem/s yet?

    It’s also an engine that’s been around for a couple years in the Highlander and some Lexus models. Haven’t heard anything bad and like anything else just stay on regular maintenance and should be good to go. I made the switch from a 2021 Tacoma and I really like the new 4R.
  11. An off-road weekend. My 4Runner 2026 SR5 was very good in the mud

    Looks like 3 and maybe 1/4 oem mudflaps
  12. TRD Skid Plate Installation on SR5 - direct bolt on?

    It’s direct bolt on, you need some extra hardware (2 bolts) which the kit may come but worth double checking.
  13. Strange clunking sound when hitting light bumps!!

    Push down on your hood just above the headlights, mine was making noise and turned out to be the hood stops, couple turns on each and it was sorted. https://www.4runner6g.com/forum/threads/front-end-clunk-solved-adjust-the-hood-stops.7083/
  14. Engine block heater on Gen 6

    I have the Toyota block heater. Works great in the -30c we have only dealt with for a bit where I live in Canada. I have gone with the heated pads others have mentioned too on different vehicles and they work great as well.
  15. SR5 4WD Off-Road any Issues?

    I have taken my SR5 on a bunch of trails and spots that made me nervous for my skill level and 4lo was extremely impressive and got me through no issues. I don’t think I will wheel hard enough to need a locker which is why I went SR5 vs OR but this thing is still impressive. TFL did a slip...
