Wow! That looks like a ton of work! I hope you get paid to do this for a living. I'm pretty okay with the stock JBL setup that came in the TRD Pro. Sure, the subwoofer doesn't exactly shake the neighborhood, but I'm okay with that.
Looks great! I also have the Mudbath Pro, but it's way understated compared to yours. I've been reluctant to put more than recovery boards up top because of clearance concerns. Living in the city, I find myself using parking decks a couple of times a week. Your rig definitely looks ready for...
I think you are better off going mostly stock for the features you want. You'll get a better resale value and not have the extra expense and headaches of getting mods made.
I have a routine drive that I take weekly on a straight paved road with stoplights and speeds from 35-55 mph. I use this to make sure I get some time in 4Hi for lubrication purposes. At a stoplight, I put the 4Runner in park, change from 2Hi to 4Hi and put it back in drive. 4Hi blinks in...
Good idea. That basically turns the system off and turns it back on after the phone is in the car. Much easier than going through the menus. Thank you!
The same thing happens to me with iOS CarPlay. If the phone isn't in the car, remote start doesn't detect it and I have to go through the onboard menus to turn it on. I doubt there is a fix for this as CarPlay obviously requires the phone to be present.
Maybe I’m just hard of hearing or something, but I swear I can’t hear any ESE in any drive mode on my TRD Pro. For it to be worthwhile, I’d expect it to sound something like how Porsche has a switch that opens a vent to let muffler noise into the cab, but that’s not fake…
Agreed! As popular as the rear window going down is, I think that’s where most of the dust enters regardless of how many other windows and sunroof are open.
I’ve considered taking the over/under, but it takes space and time to put together. I have a good can of bear-spray, that might take care of anything animal or human.
Thanks for the good advice. I’m not off road for too many days at a time, so I think I can get by with Yeti cooler and Yeti ice. Definitely need to bring a shovel. I have On-X and hope to spend time on the road learning to use it better. Tight lines and safe travels!
My TRD Pro has four tie-down points in the cargo bay. I already have the cargo net and the cargo cover, but I'm thinking it might be wise to have some tie-down straps to help secure my cargo. Any recommendations?
