  1. 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...
  2. 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...
  3. 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...
  4. Visual reminder to oil change during break in (at 1000 miles)

    In his video titled "DIRTY Filters Are BETTER Filters," he explains that as a filter collects debris, the "holes" in the filter media begin to fill up. This actually increases the filter's efficiency (its ability to catch smaller particles) because the trapped dirt acts as additional filter...
  5. Visual reminder to oil change during break in (at 1000 miles)

    There's no reason to change your oil if you're not going to change your filter. Filters aren't that expensive.
  6. Best way to get oil into the engine

    You're right, that is a perfect funnel, I've been using one for both of my Toyotas for years. You're not going to spill a drop.
  7. Who's had their 6th gen for a year now? What do you love/hate?

    Mine is underground, (Trailhunter) had it ceramic coated but the paint is so thin it shows swirl marks easily. Thinking about having a Pro paint shop paint it the same color with higher quality paint eventually.
  8. Who's had their 6th gen for a year now? What do you love/hate?

    Just coming up on a year now, a little less than 6,000 miles on it. It's the Trailhunter trim and the only thing I'm not crazy about is the gas mileage, other than that it's perfect. It is a rock crawling off-road beast. Only thing I'll do to it, going to switch out the wheels and tires to...
  9. Disappointed with the Paint on My Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro

    Yeah I've had my 4Runner Trailhunter for a year, I had it ceramic coated in the first week but the swirl marks, even using expensive lambskin car wash mitts are still there. I should have had it wrapped but didn't. I'm planning on having it repainted at a high-end shop nearby with some good...
  10. BFG KO3 275/70/18 on Trailhunter OEM wheels

    Then that might be a great option for you.
  11. BFG KO3 275/70/18 on Trailhunter OEM wheels

    For now you can still buy both options but the ko3 offers improvements like better wet and mud traction and are far superior than the ko2s were. They are transitioning to the ko3s only and will be adding more tire sizes so eventually they will have the c load as well. The BF Goodrich sales rep...
  12. BFG KO3 275/70/18 on Trailhunter OEM wheels

    I meant d rating as the compromise. They are lighter than the e.
  13. BFG KO3 275/70/18 on Trailhunter OEM wheels

    A good compromise would be ko3s in E rating.
  14. BFG KO3 275/70/18 on Trailhunter OEM wheels

    It's all about the weight. Going from the stock tires, Toyo to the BF Goodrich will add 15 lb of weight per corner, this would be the result you could expect. Acceleration & Braking: You will likely feel a more noticeable "sluggishness" when pulling away from stoplights and your braking...

    Big bend is awesome. Haven't taken the 4Runner there yet, but spent plenty of time out there in my old unreliable Jeep.
  16. BFG KO3 275/70/18 on Trailhunter OEM wheels

    I did see that, just not willing to go to e-load. Have been going through the tire rack reviews and The at4s were a bit iffy on stopping distance in ice and snow which is an issue. The 4Runner will remain completely stock with the exception of the tires so I don't have any heavy weight to...
  17. BFG KO3 275/70/18 on Trailhunter OEM wheels

    I agree those at3s are great on road especially. My only concern was the OEM lesser tread tires that came on it were not all that great in Colorado a few months ago going uphill off-roading with very light snow on the road, they slipped a lot. I'm thinking the full treaded retail version of that...
  18. BFG KO3 275/70/18 on Trailhunter OEM wheels

    Your setup looks great, I have the underground color and going with similar color methods eventually. I have to balance out that 98% of my driving will be on highway with our 80 and 85 mph speed limits. But rock crawling three times a year in Colorado is definitely a concern for those sidewalls...

    What has changing to a lot heavier tire done to the gas mileage, speedometer calibration? Still running the stock tires (after one year) and I'm only getting 17 MPG as it is. Also are you having any any of the notorious BF Goodrich balancing issues. Considering the pirelli scorpion tires.
