Thanks, I’m used to it as well, but did remove my crossbars to improve mileage.

I’m tossing around the idea of adding one of the full length racks, even though it would only be used a couple of trips per year. I’m not sure it’s worth the $ or the effort, but still interested. A couple of questions… what is the impact to MPG, and is there much wind noise? Another is since...

I am seeing a lot of ads for these door latch steps, and just curious if anyone has experience with them. While they look handy, the amount of stress they would put on on the latch gives me nervous twitch.

Why you ask… because TBOM (The Boss of Me) said our Wirehairs could no longer ride in the covered bed of our Ranger. The fur babies required AC in the summer, and heat in the winter.

Retirement Specialist. Work is none of my business.

How do they connect electrically, is there an accessory switch required?

That’s kinda low, I’m getting 22.x with my stock OR gasser.

I’m not certain I’d call a dashboard storage tray an upgrade, but it’s handy. Kratorn storage tray on Amazon, overpriced at $25, but 🤷‍♂️

IIRC, the extended warranty I purchased for the 4Runner that went out to 8 years and 125k miles was around $1600 and change, with zero deductible (?). Considering the expense of repair on modern vehicles, I look at this as cheap insurance. I had a 2014 F350 6.7 that lost the EGR valve and...

I have had my TRD OR for a few months now. It rides a little harshly, but that’s to be expected. My overall average MPG is hovering at 22.1-2, so I’m guessing that I’m probably around 24-25 MPG Highway. Range is roughly 375 miles on the road. I went with the OR, because we live in snow...

Nope, the damn running boards are staying off until I sell the beast. Which will probably be in about 8 to 10 years, assuming I make it that long. TBOM will have to hop in, or use the stool for a more graceful ingress.

I just can’t do that, I’d be out of balance 🙄… in 1967, I got a Marine Corps Bulldog tattooed on my right shoulder, and I’ve been out of balance for nearly 60 years. 😳There’s a campfire story that accompanies this tale.

@bowhun2r, you’re a bad influence, or maybe I’m easily influenced… just ordered the same pattern for my 4R.

The folding plastic stools are great for smaller people, plus it gives us the opportunity to appear chivalrous.

So far, the best upgrade I’ve made to my OR is remove those damn stock running boards. All they do is make it hard for tall people to get out. TBOM (The Boss of Me) isn’t pleased, but she doesn’t ride in it that often.

To all the good advice above, thank you! I found the video below last night, and it fit right in.

Snooping around, I saw the reviews and comments on WheelsFeels. Does anyone have a drawer system they believe is a worthwhile addition to the 4R?

I’ve only put 1,600 miles on the TRD OR, but I’m seeing a consistent average of 21.8 to 22.0 MPG. We are in a rural area, and all trips are at least 10 miles. The nearest city isn’t large, so start stop driving is minimal.

IMO, you’re making a mistake. That said, do what your heart tells you to do.

Another vote for Ottostep. We originally bought it for getting us into a popup camper, but it’s also great for the dogs.
