  1. Which color Weather Tech window vent shade for my Heritage Blue 4R?

    I would skip the weather tech and go with AVS, but that being said, black is a good color.
  2. In-channel vs tape Window Ventshade

    The AVS tape on is the way to go in my opinion. I'm not a big fan of WeatherTech products, there are always a lot better options out there. I tried the husky tape on type and ended up getting rid of them and going with the ABS tapons. I've had those on four different vehicles now they've never...
  3. CD player for dummies

    A flash drive will work with the Toyotas infotainment center allowing for album art and steering wheel controls and volume to work. It will also work with random mix and playlists as well. Both ways are good choices.
  4. CD player for dummies

    If you don't want a lot of wires and things hanging all over the place, I would get someone to rip your CDs into flac format (lossless) onto a USBC thumb drive. You can then plug that into the USBC port on the right side of your infotainment screen. The sound quality is great and you can change...
  5. Real-world use of 4Runner’s 2400W Inverter Power Outlet: gear, tips & cautions

    Good, Good plan, that's what I do. I put a little note on the dash to remember to turn the inverter back on after a fuel stop otherwise I will forget. I have my starlink mini and my refrigerator both plugged in to my jackery and then the inverter charging it simultaneously. It's worked well for...
  6. Bay Area to Grand Canyon in the Trailhunter: Road Trip Impressions

    Thanks for the info, sounds like fun. You are definitely getting a lot better gas mileage than I am. The best I have ever gotten is 20 MPG driving downhill out of Colorado into New Mexico.
  7. 6th gen vs 5th gen 4Runner decision

    If your 4Runner is overheating you might want to get the cooling system checked, did some desert running in mine at well over 100° and mine didn't.
  8. Any regrets buying the 6th gen vs 5th gen

    The 5th gen was good but the 6th gen is awesome. The extra power and drivability are top-notch compared to the 5th gen. I've had my Trail Hunter for a year now, no regrets whatsoever.
  9. Can’t find the transmission drain plug

    It's good maintenance, especially after you've had a new vehicle for just a bit flush it out and get all of the metal shavings out if any. You want to ignore the dealership when they tell you things like " change your oil at 10,000 miles and transmission fluid is for the lifetime of the car"...
  10. Two ways that a Jeep Wrangler is better than a 4Runner

    Before buying my 4Runner Trail Hunter I had owned three Jeep wranglers, two 2013 rubicons, and one 2021 Rubicon 4xe hybrid. I'll add to what you just said and I agree with you 100%. The only thing I wish the trail hunter had is one pedal driving like the hybrid Jeep had, great on those mountain...
  11. 1 year tires update: Falken WildPeak AT3 swap for Toyo Open Country AT3

    Just a side note, since you're staying in Ouray, Brick House 737 is an excellent place to eat, elk bolognese is my go-to there.
  12. 1 year tires update: Falken WildPeak AT3 swap for Toyo Open Country AT3

    I would recommend going early in the day due to the sheer number of Jeep rentals and utvs. They don't always know the rules, going up the mountain you have the right away going down find a place to pull over and let the others buy. It's a rather easy Trail, I had a Subaru outback follow me up...
  13. 1 year tires update: Falken WildPeak AT3 swap for Toyo Open Country AT3

    Got my Trail Hunter in May of 2025, just now going through the same thing, but I'm getting rid of the Toyo Open country at3s and moving to the Nokian Outpost nat. I was very disappointed in the toyos in snow snow in the San Juan mountains around Ouray and the less than stellar operation driving...
  14. My Carvana experience. Goodbye i-force-max

    I had a similar experience when I sold my 21 Jeep Wrangler hybrid, carvana gave me the best price and it was super simple selling it to them. They beat the other local dealers by 10K. Opposite experience on the 4Runner Trail Hunter though, I was pleased to get the extra room inside compared to...
  15. Visual reminder to oil change during break in (at 1000 miles)

    I think I'm right about this, those engines were assembled in the United States and the 4Runner is completely built in Japan. That's one of the main reasons I wanted the 4Runner model because it was made in Japan, I don't buy American products because of quality control issues. That's why I...
  16. Visual reminder to oil change during break in (at 1000 miles)

    I always figured over maintaining was never a bad thing, especially with the turbocharger and overall setup in an engine light the one in this Trail Hunter why not maintain it sooner, I changed the oil at about 4,000 mi and the filter. I've even changed the rear differential oil at 5,000 mi...
