If you need to pull from the rear of the vehicle, you can use the loop of the tow strap (or recovery strap) and the hitch pin.
Remove the rubber cap from the hitch mount, stick the looped end of the strap into the receiver and insert the hitch pin into the loop and secure the pin. Be careful...
Trailhunter here - front skid does indeed need to be removed for oil change.
They did something clever however. Remove all bolts except only loosen two of them, then slide the skid sideways and lower it. Makes it less of a hassle to put back on. There was even a separate sheet of paper in...
I do a rotation that includes rotating between sides. My tires are not directional, as far as I know none of the tires that come standard on any trim are directional.
spare -> front passenger
front passenger-> rear passenger
rear passenger-> front driver
front driver -> rear driver
rear...
Not all, but I am.
I’ve lost multiple tires to shredded sidewall on the trail, and in that case I continued to use 4 tires with similar thread left until either worn out or I lost another tire. I have an unmounted spare for my 4th gen that I turn into my spare when that happens.
Also ensures...
...and if you ever need to replace your starter, here's the replacement part: https://autoparts.toyota.com/products/product/starter-assy-28100f0100
You might have to wait a while for the starter to to be used, here's how Toyota describes it in their documentation:
Title: T24A-FTS (ENGINE...
We have another Toyota in our family and it has the white with black trim storm trooper estetics. Never been a huge fan of white cars, but I have to admit that one looks good. Also, white is probably the best color if you're concerned about rock chips.
That said, I know my Everest 4Runner...
Hybrid 4Runners with the 4 AUX switches, including the Trailhunter and the TRD Pro, do indeed have a starter and an alternator. The 12v battery is larger than typically used with hybrid cars, page 609 in the owners manual has the specs for the battery.
1. Driver's side grab handle. I use it all the time to get into the truck, makes it easier to not slide across the seat as I get in. I know there's an aftermarket option on amazon, but it doesn't look quite right. Also not excited about the half handle grip on the passenger side, a full...
Decided to install a Redtiger dash cam with an external rear camera and a hard wire kit. I've used an older model with the same setup on my 4th gen without any issues, so decided to do the same with my new 4Runner. Here's what I started with:
That's the rear camera, main unit, and hardwire...
Just walked into the garage with the key fob in my pocket and touched the indented part of the driver's door handle. Doors locked instantly and the mirrors started folding.
Wrapped my hand inside the handle and it unlocked instantly, and the mirrors started folding back out again.
It takes...
Only differences I can think of are tire size (bigger tire -> greater ground clearance) and whether you have the diff skid (will slightly decrease ground clearance at the rear diff). Tire size is the same per Toyota, but I don't believe the ORP comes standard with the diff skid.
Different...
Time to crawl under there with a measuring tape :)
I remember when the LC250 came out there was criticisms against the relatively modest ground clearance and those that actually knew what they were talking about mentioning how it's not always consistently measured. Guessing that that...
