Did they coat inside the frame through the access holes?

Yes you have to remove it, but its easy. There are aftermarket plates that have access holes for the drain. I don't see this as a big benefit. There are a total of 6 screw screws. Remove 4 and 2 you leave on. You use those to to slide it off and slide it back on. My original had 2 plastic...

You need Front Trd Aluminum skid: PTR60-35240 Transfercase STEEL skid: PT228-35248 Rear Diff STEEL skid: PT228-89254 The front TRD plate is aluminum as you seen in the picture posted mtbtone. If you want the trailhunter steel skid plate you can purchase that one instead. Overall easy, but the...

Depends on what you prefer, there is no best. This is one solution you can implement today, and thats what matters. There may be better ones but that would be long term, in the meantime do this.

Immediate solution to this is to turn off your key when you get home or park it for long periods. If the key is off, there is no signal to pick up. The next morning when you walk up to the car you will notice the doors will not unlock when you grab it. Press any button to turn it back on. To...

Can you quantify the feeling of break-in, in the suspension? How do you distinguish between that and just getting acclimated to the ride?

Any of you guys drive sedans or any sport car before getting in a 4runner? I had a sedan with 20" wheels and low profile tires, sport trim (all OEM no "upgrades") and coming to a 4runner is a nice upgrade in terms of ride quality. Its a little bit softer and quieter too. Reading the thread it...

Not good at all, let us know what they find. Make sure to tell them all the problems you experienced and say it with your chest out, its all under warranty.

This doesnt look like a scratch. Scratches are usually long and skinny in a general direction. This has no direction, almost perpendicular to the panel, either someone set something on there with great force, or more likely, it looks like some kind of chemical wear. Is it bubbling up around the...

Subbed, just did a 2100 ft climb elevation gain and down. Started at around 3500ft up to 5600ft. Dirt road with minor obstacles to where I had to slow down. Took about 1.5 hours of paved road to get there so everything was well warmed up by the time I hit the dirt road. I had it in 4H most of...

I think you should trust companies and other people blindly. Never question! Ignore history too. Because companies always have your best interest at heart. 💕

Wrong. Does anyone ever read the manual anymore? "For customers who primarily drive their vehicle under any of the listed Special Operating Conditions, the motor oil and filter should be replaced at 5,000 miles or six months, REGARDLESS OF THE OIL USED (OR CERTIFICATION OF THE VEHICLE)."...

For your rock rails. Im guessing your frame didnt have threaded holes. How many were missing threads do you recall? Also what kind of expanding nuts were they? You have a pic?

No I didn't, it's just a reminder for you. Just keep track of the oil change intervals. No sure if you're doing them yourself from now on or handing it over to the dealer. You probably already know not to go more than 5k miles/6months between changes. Toyota "disqualifies" you from 10k oil...

I appreciate it!

Yes, not needed. Edit, I've consolidated everything up top, easier for the reader.. Will update if I find anything new

Thanks for the tip, I will follow your steps for the rubber and bracket. For anyone else reading years from now. Heres what I purchased for the non hybrid. The front skidplate should work for either hybrid or gas model. There is a cross member behind the engine that is specific to the hybrids...

Anyone order the rear diff skid plate? Specifically PT228-89254 Just opened the box and I am missing 2 rubber parts(circled in green). This is for the NON-Hybrid. Edit: Found out that it is not needed. Also for the front/center skid plates, go to the bottom. ATTACHED PDF SHOWS THE FOLLOWING...

Interesting, I've heard this about the 5th vs 6th gen. By the way, is your frame also missing thread inserts on the limited? I dont like my running boards either and will prob swap them out.

Ever been in a small/midsized sedan? Just came from that to this and it feels like I'm in a boat. What vehicle did you have before this? Through the decades cars are getting bigger and bigger but our desire outpaces the growth so it feels like the world is shrinking
