that's clever

Just wish they had a hybrid set ready to go...

I’ve heard mixed reviews of CBI, and RCI is local. I’ve had their rails on both this and my previous one, and they’ve held up really well.

First time I hit a rock with my pro I ripped one of the letters off my OEM, so as soon as RCI has theirs available, I plan to swap out for theirs.

Check and trade in. To be fair, pretty much everyone's SSN is already out in the wild thanks for Equifax, Anthem, etc. It never was meant to be a secret (they used to post our grades outside the classroom by SSN). If you've got a security freeze (not a credit lock) they can't do anything with...

I had this when I bought my Pro. Didn't make a stink out of it because I knew there were 20 people willing to do it to get the MudBath. I suspect it's also to make sure that my check won't bounce.

Hawaii is the one place where that color might work....I just don't get smurf. But then again I didn't get lime green either.

Everytime. Once you press unlock, it reactivates the always-on transmitter.

I still think it looks like a Smurf, but then again I thought the lime green a few years back looked like Absinth.

There’s a post elsewhere in the forum from a real oil engineer - based on that I did my first one at 1K, and plan the second at 5K, then every 5K after that.

Haven't changed my own oil since my 84' Pontiac. Not worth the time/hassle/disposal. I've got a local toyota authorized/but not a dealer shop that does great work. Schedule an appointment, in and out in 30 minutes. Total no brainer.

THey're pretty stiff, I replaced mine with Rally Armor which are much more flexible. They do protect the paint for sure, and they also stop snow from getting on rock rails (not that you have that problem in CA).

Yeah, they didn’t send down mudbath, but maybe they’ll send down Smurf next year.

Yep, that's why I don't connect any of that stuff to the internet directly. I'm sorry, my toaster doesn't need the cloud, and Breville doesn't need my data. If you use social media, you're the product, not the customer. In some cases, like here, I'm ok with that. But Facebook? Twitland...

I don’t use google for anything, because their whole business model is selling user data. Ditto facebook, and other social media. Apple may use it internally, but they don’t sell it. Least worst alternative. There is zero benefit to the connected services that’s worth letting Toyota sell...

You're comparing the old paint with high VOCs that the Feds banned a few years back. No modern paint will be that durable, even aftermarket.

Are you comparing the 4Runner to unibody vehicles, or body on frame trucks? My pro rides better than my 2021 ORP, but I've driven 4Runners for years (with a slight detour to a Tacoma). They drive like trucks, and I'm ok with that.

I've got it turned off. Digital key, some of the mileage metrics, driver profiles, remote start. You do get a periodic annoying nag screen about enabling it. You also (apparently) lose over the air updates, but since we haven't had one yet, I can't confirm. Worst case the dealer can do the...

Just heard a rumor today that there's no Mudbath at all for 2026.

Very flexible, they can bend really far. I'm not worried about them getting bent/broken off (now caught and torn off, well, that's always a risk.
