My everest color was holding up fine until I spent last weekend in the back country... It's so liberating when you get your first pin stripes!

Yup, added a 12v outlet directly on the 12v battery and plug the fridge into it. Did the same thing with my 4th gen and a larger fridge, had it running for at least 36 hours without starting the 4Runner and had no problems. I do carry a jump starter just in case.

Camping / shakedown trip on the hills near Lake Chelan last weekend. First time with my new drawers and fridge. Added new swooping lines on the side of the 4Runner and found the turnbuckles on the drawer shell need a little loctite.

Proof of registration... the tax man always asks for it

I've been getting Blackstone's $50 oil + tbn analysis and it works for me. Gives me numbers + a short paragraph of editorial. I also check the box saying I'm interesting in longer oil intervals (even though I'm not) to get an opinion on how long an interval they think I could try next time...

The trailhunter wheels aren't that much more - just sayin' https://autoparts.klamathfallstoyota.com/products/product/alloy-wheel-ptr56352405f?intSrc=pco%3Anational-pdp%3Adealervisit%3Adealer-pdp Might be worth it to watch for a sale / free shipping promo

Pictures of the 4Runner on that website link get funnier the more I look at them... Like this one - two start buttons? Hazard button inside the volume knob? Both miles and kilometers on the speedo? https://lexland.com/products/4runner-driver-side-grab-handle-a-pillar-assist-handle-for-toyota...

Here's the one I use: https://autoparts.klamathfallstoyota.com/products/product/filter-s-a-oil-90915yzzn1 The site says this is an exact fit for my 4Runner

Finally installed drawers, picked up a kit from Solid Wood Worx. It's a well designed system made from black hex ply. Couldn't fit my old Iceco fridge, so purchased a SetPower AJ30 from Amazon to go with the Iceco fridge slide. We'll see how long the fridge lasts, it's one of the less...

4 low does not automatically lock the center diff on my 4th gen 4Runner. 4th gen V6 had the most flexible transfer case. I understand why they went away from it since it tends become hard or impossible to switch modes if you don't regularly switch it into the various modes, but I really...

I had purchased this set https://a.co/d/0gLLsz9L.

Yep, and it was the comment below that made me decide to reduce the tire pressure in my spare:

Multiple reasons why I went this route, mostly: From what I understand, the Dongar adapter works by making the dash cam think that the car is still running when it is really turned off and parked. It will then keep it in this mode for some time and then cut power shutting the dash cam off...

I've noticed rubbing / wear on a specific spot on the side of the spare, and I'm wondering is this is exacerbated by me leaving the spare overinflated. I've reduced the spare to match the other tires, and giving it a month or two to see if it helps.

You could probably pull power from the dash cam connector in the ceiling above the sunglasses holder https://www.4runner6g.com/forum/threads/redtiger-f7n-elite-dash-cam-front-and-external-rear-camera-w-rear-mount-install-with-lots-of-pictures.7727/

My favorite is the suspension. Before I purchased the Trailhunter I test drove a TRD Off Road and it was harsh. My Trailhunter is so much more comfortable.

Any recommendations for a good spray-on-wipe-off product?

Not obvious, but easy to figure out with a multimeter. I cut the Subaru harness in the middle and plugged it into the connector in the ceiling. Making sure the black wire of the multimeter has a good connection to the ground (such as the metal ceiling right there), touch the other three wires...

I typically ratchet strap a couple of 5 gallon cans on the roof rack. I’ll fill them up just before I go into the back country, and empty them as soon as I can when I get back to civilization. I try to avoid carrying full cans on the highway. At some point I’ll add a rear bumper with a gas...

I did use an HT with a mag mount 1/2 wave on the roof on a trail run a couple of weeks ago, did not notice any particular noise. We were on VHF, in case that matters.
