  1. Transmission fluid temps after short hill climb towing

    Intercoolers are for cooling intake air temps—not transmission…
  2. Range (small fuel tank capacity) is the kryptonite of the 4runner

    Mod to bigger, knobbier tires. Remove any stock air dams. Add roof rack. Add heavy gear… mpg will fall I’m at 19-20 with my Trailhunter, stock tires (shitty off-road, but good mpg), and roof box. Expect 18 w real tires. Lower if I move spare tire to rear would love a kit to put a tank where...
  3. What's the single best upgrade you've made to your 6th Gen 4Runner?

    Holder for Nalgenes and steps to get in! Simple and also removable
  4. Trailhunter detachable steps?

    Mine also going strong too in NM sun! Def recommend the larger 7” size
  5. Roof carrier frustrations with rear lift gate clearance

    I agree… the design seems annoying in this regard. I slid the attachment points all the way back in my Thule XXL box. It overhangs forward a fair bit. I keep that in mind when I load things in there. The door only barely hits it at the top I’ve set the door to stop just shy
  6. TPWS Warning range for spare set too high?

    Was just going to start a thread on this. I had a 5 tire rotation done at the dealer. After they got over whining that there’s no point to a 5 tire rotation, I get it back with a warning light that popped on a day later for low spare tire pressure. i was also one of the victims of the early...
  7. Bike rack and backing up - problem

    Definitely annoying to have to answer questions on the dash every single time I start the car up with a bike rack! Frustrating Toyota!
  8. Project Trailhunter

    I’ve started hearing there are more differences… larger rear diff that maybe has a different ratio. Presumably the front diff would be different too. Curious how different the suspension components are, beyond just the shocks (knuckle arms look way beefier than my buddy’s 5th gen, which he...
  9. Front wheel well liner insert - recommendations?

    You sure these gaps aren’t by design, eg for cooling ventilation?
  10. Starlink Roam? Mounting Options

    Hi all, Anyone have a Starlink Roam plan? I’m curious on how you mounted the antenna and routed power. Would love a way to have it powered from the hybrid battery and available while driving. if you get the Roam 100GB plan, you can place it it Standby mode for $5/month. In this mode, unlimited...
  11. aFe CONTROL Rear Sway Bar released for 6th gen 4Runner

    Will compromise off-road travel if not disconnected. Rear sway bar primarily affects front handling (and visa versa). While this makes sense for a track racing car, I don’t see the allure for our vehicles.
  12. "Settings Loaded" when go into Park

    I've noticed that I get a message on the main screen saying something like "Settings successfully loaded" when I shift into Park... typically at the end of using the car... Is this normal? Why is it noting this at the end of using the car?? Perhaps related: I'm not sure my personal settings...
  13. Tune that increases hybrid utility?

    I like the benefits of a tune that increases power and smooths the transmission shifting, but I'm wondering if there's a tune that additionally changes the way the hybrid powertrain is used. Watching how the hybrid assist is used, here are my observations: - Electric assist used heavily for the...
  14. Anyone install Larger Cooling Upgrades on Hybrid 4Runner?

    It’s not going to benefit 90% of driving, but the cases when towing—this is when you create lots of heat in the transmission. If not cooled well, this is the downfall of transmissions. Within 100k miles, very unlikely to cause issues, but if you’re interested in beyond that… I don’t know what...
  15. Anyone install Larger Cooling Upgrades on Hybrid 4Runner?

    I’m curious on the trans cooler… temperature is the downfall of transmissions
  16. Side steps that attach to rock rails on Trailhunter?

    I have the 7” versions of these and like them. Also easily removed. Seem very sturdy. No tool installation
  17. Trick to get rear hatch close and lock?

    It’s enabled… lol there’s a trick to getting it right, just like the door
  18. Trick to get rear hatch close and lock?

    Thank you all!! I needed to be closer to the vehicle. Under the door works great! now I need to figure out the kick sensor…
  19. Trick to get rear hatch close and lock?

    How far back? I’ve done that before. Lol do I have to run away? Maybe I need to take to dealership
