The Rago crossbars look interesting. I’m curious if there is any wind noise.

Another whine of mine is the so called “molle panels” that decorate the door and console trays. I like to toss my house keys in them, and the keys slip through the holes and can be a bear to dislodge.

Something that would be an improvement for me is a sun visor that would slide to block the sun when pivoted to the side windows. I’ve a lot of skin cancers on the side of my face, and the narrow pull out extension isn’t effective.

Plus 1 for the milk crate with propane bottles. You might consider using a cargo bar with Jerry cans to prevent side to side motion. https://www.harborfreight.com/ratcheting-cargo-bar-96811.html

Nothing to see, but I did pick up a set of take off TRD Off Road rims and tires to use with my winter tires.

Thanks, I’m used to it as well, but did remove my crossbars to improve mileage.

I’m tossing around the idea of adding one of the full length racks, even though it would only be used a couple of trips per year. I’m not sure it’s worth the $ or the effort, but still interested. A couple of questions… what is the impact to MPG, and is there much wind noise? Another is since...

I am seeing a lot of ads for these door latch steps, and just curious if anyone has experience with them. While they look handy, the amount of stress they would put on on the latch gives me nervous twitch.

Why you ask… because TBOM (The Boss of Me) said our Wirehairs could no longer ride in the covered bed of our Ranger. The fur babies required AC in the summer, and heat in the winter.

Retirement Specialist. Work is none of my business.

How do they connect electrically, is there an accessory switch required?

That’s kinda low, I’m getting 22.x with my stock OR gasser.

I’m not certain I’d call a dashboard storage tray an upgrade, but it’s handy. Kratorn storage tray on Amazon, overpriced at $25, but 🤷‍♂️

IIRC, the extended warranty I purchased for the 4Runner that went out to 8 years and 125k miles was around $1600 and change, with zero deductible (?). Considering the expense of repair on modern vehicles, I look at this as cheap insurance. I had a 2014 F350 6.7 that lost the EGR valve and...

I have had my TRD OR for a few months now. It rides a little harshly, but that’s to be expected. My overall average MPG is hovering at 22.1-2, so I’m guessing that I’m probably around 24-25 MPG Highway. Range is roughly 375 miles on the road. I went with the OR, because we live in snow...
