I haven’t been able to find any aluminum on the 4Runner other than the hood. All other body panels are ferromagnetic

Love the non-hybrid. It’s why I went 4Runner rather than LC, in fact.

I live in Seattle. Small amounts of collected rain water entering any car I've ever owned upon opening a window or door is the standard for much of the year. Take solace in knowing it's never caused a problem.

I haven’t experienced this in my limited but I’m guessing it may be one of those things that could show up over time

Yes, BUT, there is an OEM-safe margin above the wheels/tires specced on a factory SR5. For example, going up to a 32.6” diameter tire that matches the higher off road trims seems pretty darn safe.

im getting Déjà vu. OP reported this and posted the same photos in the another thread last week or the week before I think edit: ok I’m not going crazy: https://www.4runner6g.com/forum/threads/2025-4runner-trim-mirror-melting-in-the-harsh-northern-sun.6737/post-146974

Try 265/60R20. Many more options, same overall diameter that the other trims use on 18”s, so totally within stock specs. Im running 265/60R20 terra grappler g3s and am a big fan

I didn't save my 4Runner, it saved me

Everyone says it’s coming from the tailpipe and isn’t dirty sock smell, so this is a different thing

I’ve never smelled ammonia but mine is gas only

I have not heard of anyone seeing oil temp issues that would motivate an oil cooler… if you were truly looking to modify your 4R for longevity, maybe one of the tuners could come up with a de-tune to run it at 80% power/torque or something, lol

The obvious question: why?

Some trims do, like the gas limited (mine). There’s an ASS button below the shifter.

My attempts at capturing the area without removing my skid plate

I think probably 90%+ of 4Runner (well, any adventure-adjacent vehicle or trim of vehicle) tire mods are motivated by cosmetics with some bogus internal justification that it also provides some functional benefit. Ditto lifts, maybe at a 66%+ rate (ie, the person getting the lift has never...

$400 _savings_ in gas? or $400 total cost of gas monthly? To save $5k in a year by switching, you'd need to _save_ $417/mo on gas from the increased fuel efficiency

How long will it take you to make back the depreciation hit on the fuel savings?
