I last filled up 16.67 gal, drove 358 miles, and the "gauge" said 11 miles remaining. I have a '26 ORPH, so that tank averaged around 21-21.5mpg. I do a lot of short trips, with some longer stints thrown in (e.g. longer = 20-30 min with 90% highway) and just ticked over 2050 miles. I guess with...
I've seen the videos and photos of how it's mounted to a LR 250, and we share "similar" roof lines/mounts, so I assume it'll just mount to the 4Runner rails and sit 1.5-2" above the rail. Then again, this is purely conjecture based on the LR250 vids/images.

Came across this while debating on cross bars, 3/4 rack, or full rack. Seems to be fairly modular with some interesting accessories (front light bar, rear "chase" lights, pricing around the same as most other racks...
Pay my buddy $50 (who owns a detailing business and ceramic coats all my rides). He hand washes, applies CS3 to all painted and glass surfaces, and will "restore" the ceramic coating when/as needed. It's cheap insurance and helps support a small business. #everyonewins

Looking at possibly getting some cross bars or maybe a rack for lighter duty usage (possibly for kayak hauling, maybe snowboard attachment, etc) and came across this CLAMBER rack...

That's what I installed. My sales person said they hadn't drilled it yet and asked what I wanted to do. I said throw the factory front plate mount and the plate in the truck and I'll install it myself.
So far I'm pretty satisfied with my "mods":
1) Ceramic coating - a good buddy of mine (owns a high-end detail shop) did my entire TRD ORP (paint, glass, roof, bumpers, fenders, wheel faces). I do this on all my cars because, honestly, I'm too lazy to wash them often, so this helps a lot.
2)...
Just to echo others:
Ceramic: protects paint from UV and helps maintain cleanliness and water beading.
PPF: protects paint from chips and minor scratches.
I had mine ceramic coated 3 days after taking delivery. I'm still debating on the PPF for the front+hood, but that may be another month or...
So recently I started to notice that for the first 2-4min of driving (it's cold here in NOVA), the trans temp will warm up to about the 3rd "mark" (moving about 25-50mph), and then as soon as I turn to merge onto the highway, it instantly drops down to "full cold", and then takes another 5-10min...
Just installed this on my '26 TRD ORP Hybrid, pretty much directly above the driver's fog light. I didn't need to use any of the extensions that came in the kit, it's very secure, and sits 1/2-3/4" away from the bumper (I tried moving it around and it does not flex enough to touch the paint)...
Traded '21 Wrangler Sport Altitude (lightly modded). This is also "my first 4Runner", and so far I'm a big fan. Already added front license plate bracket (I hate drilling holes in a fresh bumper), Redline hood struts, and will be adding Lasfit LED switchback front turn bulbs this evening (once...
This is almost exactly what I am looking for, thank you! I take delivery of my '26 ORP in about 5hrs, and the dealer told me they didn't drill the bumper and asked what I wanted to do (I told them to leave it as-is and I'll deal with the front plate mounting). Do you notice if it blocks any of...
