Awesome writeup, thanks for that. Not sure if you posted anything regarding your Rhino Rack but I'm curious how you like it and how you have it mounted. Does it mount to the factory rails?
It's funny because we just noticed it a couple of times this past this weekend so I was purposely trying to hear it Sunday afternoon. After I sat in there for a bit and heard it, I was like, oh that's a normal noise I've heard before but had forgotten about it. And I've got almost 27k on mine
I didn't listen to your video but my hybrid makes a similar clunk a little bit after turning it off and sitting in the truck. And it's not the electronic parking brake as its more from up front somewhere. Normal I assume...ignorance is bliss
What LC did you have? I had 100 series before the 4th gen 4Runner. Seats tumbled forward in it but there was still room for 2 mtn bikes lol.
For winter snow biking I was able to get my fat bike in the back, standing up, but I had to wrestle it in there. It's a lot shorter than the mtn bikes.
Hauling mountain bikes inside is one of my biggest beefs with the 6th gen hybrid. I love it my 6th gen but sucks that there's not enough room for hauling. I could fit 2 bikes upright with the front wheels off in my 4th gen. I rarely carry passengers myself so this is why I was thinking about...
@Nodak this was during a long cold snap and after a 3 hour road trip with half of it being on slushy snow covered 2 lane roads and with cars heading the other direction kicking stuff up too. Based on that and what you see, I think the OEM running board and mud flaps do a pretty good job...
@2012BAJA Looks like the perfect setup. I'm thinking the MT64s for my truck but maybe even setting them at their lowest setting. Good to know that there's a solid 1" rear spring option. Thanks for sharing!
Nice review. I had these on my old 100 series Land Cruiser and thought they rode great on it. I was wondering if they would be an option for the 6th gens so this is good feedback.
I think the story here is this guy worked for 1up or was affileated with them somehow but his goal was to make a better 1up. My buddy has one and loves it. He had a 1up before it.

Yeah my hybrid 4Runner spends all its time in Wisconsin and Ontario and the heat works just fine. But the auto off feature seems to turn the engine off a lot less in the winter too. Now in terms of reliability, who knows if its something that will wear out prematurely but as you eluded to...
A good floor jack that doesn't take too many pumps to raise the truck will come in handy for years but it needs to have enough lift to it too as the front wheels will droop a lot when lifting. You can also use the floor jack in combination with jack stands to manipulate the rear axle when...
