I installed the acetal version a few days ago and it feels fantastic -- way more sturdy and premium feeling than the OEM shifter. Doesn't have any play or rattle to it at all, feels rock solid. Install took like two minutes. It's not quite as comfy to rest your hand on as the OEM one, which is...
I got this center console cover for my ORP off Amazon for $60 and it's a huge improvement. Only been a few months so I can't speak to how long it will hold up, but it's a perfect fit and so far still looks brand new. Worst case if it starts cracking after a few years, the real console will still...
That's a whitewater boat with grab handles and only weighs about 35 pounds, so I just lift it over my head and drop it in the cradle. Piece of cake.
For my bigger fishing kayak, I don't use the cradle, much easier and safer to just lay it flat on the crossbars. I use this guy's method and it's...
ORP got new shoes:
Bronze Fuel Shoks 17x9 +20mm offset
Toyo AT3 285/70/17 SL
Added bronze badges and Toyota overlay to match the wheels. Very slightly more road noise and vibration, which is to be expected switching to true AT tires, but bumps, dips, and potholes now feel much softer and more...

I just got 285s on +20 offset wheels as well and am definitely thinking of getting wider mudflaps for paint protection. Did these bolt straight onto the ORP, or was any extra drilling required?
Never owned a 5th gen but have rented and driven extensively in several of them across most trim levels. Comparing the two, the only major downsides I see to the 6th gen are the less than smooth transmission and the crappy backseat folding -- but as others have said, the 5th gen was sluggish, 5...
I don't know if it would interfere with the 3rd row seats themselves but I can't imagine anyone would be able to sit in them other than small children, and even that might be tight.
Not sure I'm following on the ski idea... you can see the tray has a big "wall" on the front to stop items from...
I don't know why I have to keep pointing out that the 5th gen seats never laid flat either. I agree they were a better folding design than the 6th gens, but they still weren't flat and thus were never as convenient as several other SUVs for car camping or hauling.
How's it feel quality-wise? I assume the construction is rock solid but is there any wiggle/wobble at all once it's installed? My factory shifter has a little bit of play to it and the thumb button is a tad sticky... not a huge deal but doesn't exactly feel premium either.
I can't fathom wanting to keep my tools in a weird little plastic cubby that I can only access at a stop with the door open when there's perfectly good storage in the door and console and dash, but to each their own.
Based on this post, I ordered the exact same wheels (PTR20-35110-F5) and got a sweet BF deal from Universal Toyota -- $730 for the set with free shipping.
Took them to Discount Tire to get mounted up with the same 285/70R17 Toyo AT3 tires as OP, and was informed that these wheels are not in...
I've had the driver's side interior panel from Cali Raised for a few months and have been happy with it, so I decided to add on the passenger side and overhead tray. Cali Raised initially sent me a second driver's side panel by mistake, but quickly shipped out the correct one when I emailed them...
The ORP definitely supports wireless AA. I'm not sure about your issue with the setting not showing up specifically, but give this a try -- it essentially solved all my problems with skipping and it's worked pretty much flawlessly for me ever since...
