  1. Camera on full time?

    Correct, but when off-roading (or somewhere you are often going very slow but may go over the trip point) you can select the Auto option on the screen so it will at least re-enable the camera when you go back under 10 MPH.
  2. Brake controller install process

    Any thoughts on if the OEM one would be "better" than a 3rd-party (assuming it can be obtained and installed, and ignoring any complexity in that)?
  3. Brake controller install process

    There are discussions on this forum about brake controllers. I wanted it, but the one that was available that I purchased did not have it. I do not need it right now though, perhaps never. I would prefer to go with the OEM built-in one, but my understanding here is that this cannot be added...
  4. Dalmatian Edition

    I had a Leonberger named Deogheei...not sure how many got that either (I did not name him; he was a Rescue). Where did you get those crates in the back? I agree, spots on the outside paint would be pretty cool :-).
  5. Oil Dilution + Strong Gas Smell + Soot on Tailpipe + Poor Mileage

    They suggested *you* change the oil???? Why did they not do that after confirming all your concerns? They should not have let it out of their service center like that. Seems like fuel in the oil could be very dangerous (not just being there, but how it got there). Definitely find a better...
  6. Rockford Fosgate Speaker Install in 2025 Toyota 4Runner SR5

    Yeah, I knew it was too late now but hoping for the slim chance you already did :-). I am fine with the system for now, but maybe if I start listening to more music I may be interested in doing something. Or maybe not... Thanks! And yes, thanks @deuceduzit for his original work!
  7. Squealing brakes issue fixed with heavier rotors replacement

    That "Sponsored" tag just means the ad below is sponsored--it has nothing to do with the post or poster itself. If you have an ad blocker enabled than you will get the tag but no ad below--although likely a big space where the ad would be.
  8. Rockford Fosgate Speaker Install in 2025 Toyota 4Runner SR5

    Thanks for that info! As I listen mostly to audiobooks I have not seriously considered upgrading the sound system, but might at some point (I do occasionally listen to music as well). I do not want to go through all that effort/expense though unless I can convince myself it is really worth it...
  9. Squealing brakes issue fixed with heavier rotors replacement

    I had the warranty fix done some time ago. I believe I had them check on one of the regular maintenance periods (5K or 10K mile) as it had become sufficiently consistent by then and they were able to replicate it. We did have to wait for the parts, but they were in after a few days and I brought...
  10. Oil pressure gauge problem

    First time I saw that I did almost panic...what, no oil pressure??? Then I realized that the engine was off (Hybrid model) and naturally there would be no oil pressure!
  11. Any Aftermarket Passenger A Pillar Grab Handles Yet?

    Yeah, my wife has strength/mobility issues and that weird passenger side grab is not all that helpful. I would think it would be easy to make a solid replacement that would just bolt in the same place--hopefully someone like Lexland will do that. I do not miss a handle on the driver side at...
  12. Cannot shift manually in 4LO

    Modern transmissions are designed so they will not destroy themselves, hence shifting when you may not want them to. I also own a skoolie--school bus converted to an RV. It has a big diesel engine and Allison transmission. You can set it manually to, say, first gear if you want--but it will...
  13. Trailhunter vs TRD ORP

    I have the ORP Hybrid and am very happy with it. I did not really consider the TH, partly price, but also learning of the noisy snorkel (and not all that useful to me). I do go off road, but not nasty rock crawling--that might have pushed me more toward the Bronco I was seriously considering. I...
  14. Oil filter small size

    A good team of engineers should not simply design the strongest, longest lasting, etc. They design balance--something that works well as intended with good life and reasonable cost. It all goes together. Saying otherwise is silly. Marketing might want lower prices, but a good company would not...
  15. New 4Runner not the best with dogs

    This product was mentioned: https://a.co/d/0coldRVE I have a similar product made of aluminum--a bit smaller dimensions I think but still good. I got it for only about $20 a long time ago, and sadly I do not know where it can be found now. The problem with it is that it does not drop down...
  16. Toyota aggressive about Dealership Appointments/2025 4Runner IForceMax

    Service is every 5000 miles, oil 10K (factory schedules). So the vehicle reminds at 5K from the last time it was reset.
  17. Visual reminder to oil change during break in (at 1000 miles)

    As I believe I had stated before (in this thread or others), I think often times advice given by "experts" (such as a mechanic with many years of experience) is going on old information and stuck in that mode. I am *not* belittling their experience or opinion, but in my mind manufacturers have...
  18. Show of hands: Those who do NOT want a moonroof (TRD off-road Premium)

    I did not specifically want one, but a nearly perfect fit was found within hours of me deciding to purchase a '25 4Runner, and it had a sunroof. Other than not really wanting to pay extra (which of course I did) I did not have any real objection. I had not thought about the reduced headroom--I...
  19. Home Detailing Setup Ready To Go! What's Your Setup?

    Dang, those are amazing setups! Mine is lucky to get washed at all...I have had it a year now and I think I have done it once. Not that it counts much, but I have wanted to do it again for a while... Dry Southern CA though, so mostly just dust--definitely no mud. So, it actually stays pretty...
  20. Sealed Snorkel?

    {Traction control will limit your throttle as well as apply brakes to spinning wheels. That can be detrimental to momentum, especially in mud and sand.} Ahhh, momentum...got it, thanks--I had not thought of that part. RIght, for "normal" driving it is probably generally great, but off-road in...
