Dang! Happy it wasn’t a worse situation but that still sounds like it left you in a lurch. Hopefully one of those times in life that is a good laugh over a beer later on!

Please do gerryt I hope it’s just that simple. VB4 that is something else wow! Hopefully covered under warranty? Still doesn’t help you get off the trail and any trouble that caused. There is a story to go with that I’m sure? Hope that gets resolved easy.

It was a metallic clunk for sure, I was certain it was the suspension until I figured I should pop the hood and noticed the clunk just before I did. (For whatever reason I pushed down near the headlight) I came up on just the drivers side, maybe a full turn. I shut the hood a couple times and...

Noise never came back! Super quick fix thankfully.

I would go with a yearly rust coating approach. Krown is awesome if you are close to a shop that does it and if not fluidfilm is a great option.

I didn’t see any real change, just wind noise.

I ran Hakka LT3 (non studded) on my Tacoma for a number of winters and they were fantastic. Last winter we had a lot more ice and they still did a great job, but being 5 years old I’m changing to Nokian studded just to give them a try. Canadian winters and I live in a town with a lot of hills so...

Specially if you go with something that needs to be reapplied like Krown, fluid film, etc. worst case you can hit the car wash a bunch and wash it all away. I can’t see anything temporary being an issue and my dealer said they are a good idea.

Over the past few days I have noticed a clunk in the driver side front end, seemed to sound metallic in nature. Out for a drive today and the clunk was getting a lot worse, every crack in the road or washboard down some dirt roads made it sound like I was about to lose a strut or something. Got...

I drove it up on ramps, little extra room that way!

JGR that thing looks awesome!

Very nice! Enjoy that ride!

I haven’t ran them myself but I heard Wildpeaks are great in lots of rain. I’m on my 3rd set of Nokian Outposts (nAT) and they have been awesome! Rain, snow, and anything off road. Ran them in BC, AB, and ON

I like the look and I need them for Yakima paddle board holder. Certainly an increase in wind noise with speed. you have a very sweet ride so it will be hard to go wrong! My vote is keep them.

As other said there are 2 bolts you can loosen and keep the plate in place, remove the other 4 and slide it over/off. I personally found it faster to remove all 6 and drop the plate and reinstall, that’s just me though.

I went with Krown for a couple years and switched to fluid film. Both seem to work great and my Tacoma had no rust after 6 years. Doing the same with my 4R, fresh FF when I picked it up in June and it’ll get another coat before winter. Northwest Ontario for reference.

Multiple places on the engine say 0w20, something isn’t right about them using 0w8

Thanks for those pics Burgi! I was curious how the system looked with my SR5 not having a thermostat.

The running boards on my SR5 are great at deflecting gravel and mud away from the bottom of my doors. I’ve been on a 10 day road trip with daily gravel/mud/dust and even with the mud-flaps they are really helping.

Hop on YouTube and type 4Runner slip test, TFL showed the comparison between an Off-Road and a Limited on rollers and some very uneven ground. Basically you put it in 4LO and it’s a monster. Each have their place and you can’t beat a locker but it’s impressive how capable it is.
