  1. Katzkin leather seats (red body / black center / double-diamond stitching / perforated body) in my 2026 4Runner ORP

    Looks great! I really like that it's more than just the seats. How much for your set up?
  2. Visual reminder to oil change during break in (at 1000 miles)

    I dont think he was trolling you, bud. You're obviously free to maintain how you see fit but you're going to encounter other opinions in this forum...some are useful & appreciated whereas some are not so much. Keep an open mind about something unless you can factually disprove some information...
  3. Visual reminder to oil change during break in (at 1000 miles)

    I agree. Just use common sense, follow the “Special Operating Conditions” Maintenance Chart.
  4. Visual reminder to oil change during break in (at 1000 miles)

    I watched that same video but he is wrong. What he is actually referring to is air filters. With the small size of an oil filter why would you want to risk the media being filled & then the bypass valve engaging to let unfiltered oil pass through & back into the system? Oil filters, especially...
  5. 2026 4Runner TRD Sport Dyno Results (Stock vs Tuned on 86 Octane)

    I wouldn't mind having better shifting behavior honestly. The hard shifts I'm feeling early in my commutes until the transmission warms up is concerning. Others have reported it also of course.
  6. 2026 4Runner TRD Sport Dyno Results (Stock vs Tuned on 86 Octane)

    I respectfully disagree while also acknowledging that you have a right to your opinion.
  7. 2026 4Runner TRD Sport Dyno Results (Stock vs Tuned on 86 Octane)

    What I believe is that Stillen has a vested business & financial interest in high performance parts, aftermarket modifications, engine tuning & presenting results that encourage interested people to purchase parts/services that support the use of higher octane fuels for increased gains. I don't...
  8. 2026 4Runner TRD Sport Dyno Results (Stock vs Tuned on 86 Octane)

    I commend you for efforts, time and participation in this community. This is notable information to have received & I don't dismiss it. I consider it at face value with very little doubt about the accuracy of the information you've graciously obtained & provided here. Thank you. 🙏🏻 It's...
  9. 2026 4Runner TRD Sport Dyno Results (Stock vs Tuned on 86 Octane)

    It takes more than a few words to explain things especially when it comes to a differing opinion & the rationale. Short replies leave alot open to interpretation and don't lend well when discussing a technical topic. IMO of course. 😅
  10. 2026 4Runner TRD Sport Dyno Results (Stock vs Tuned on 86 Octane)

    Thanks for sharing your insight & personal experience working with these engines. I respect your opinion & perspective. I'll look forward to seeing your data when compiled & posted for all interested to see. As for my personal opinion, I doubt I'll change my mind. I also don't make up my mind...
  11. 2026 4Runner TRD Sport Dyno Results (Stock vs Tuned on 86 Octane)

    I would be interested to see them...as long as the Dyno results show the same exact engine bone stock from factory in the same exact vehicle using an 87 octane gas AND again using a 91 octane gas. But to be very transparent, even if the results show an increase in HP I'll still be skeptical...
  12. 2026 4Runner TRD Sport Dyno Results (Stock vs Tuned on 86 Octane)

    I can appreciate your POV & perspective on this topic. As I said in a previous post, I'm not a gearhead or well-versed in high performance automotive applications. With that said, I'm no meathead either & this is a topic that has captured my attention & curiosity. I've thought alot about this...
  13. Hard transmission shift on initial startup under 1k Miles

    I'm at 5,100 miles now & it still shift hard in the lower gears when cold. I wonder if they under filled the tranny like some here have reported their differentials under filled.
  14. No Bass in JBL Rear Subwoofer & Rear Door Speakers

    Yeah, still a bonehead move by JBL! & Toyota. Subwoofers should always be on the rear channel or on its own separate channel.
  15. No Bass in JBL Rear Subwoofer & Rear Door Speakers

    Slighty off topic but one would think that with a premium sound system in it that Toyota would have placed sound proofing in the areas that obviously need them. Just another cost cutting measure yet the increased pricing doesn't reflect that of course.
