Finally installed drawers, picked up a kit from Solid Wood Worx. It's a well designed system made from black hex ply. Couldn't fit my old Iceco fridge, so purchased a SetPower AJ30 from Amazon to go with the Iceco fridge slide. We'll see how long the fridge lasts, it's one of the less...

4 low does not automatically lock the center diff on my 4th gen 4Runner. 4th gen V6 had the most flexible transfer case. I understand why they went away from it since it tends become hard or impossible to switch modes if you don't regularly switch it into the various modes, but I really...

I had purchased this set https://a.co/d/0gLLsz9L.

Yep, and it was the comment below that made me decide to reduce the tire pressure in my spare:

Multiple reasons why I went this route, mostly: From what I understand, the Dongar adapter works by making the dash cam think that the car is still running when it is really turned off and parked. It will then keep it in this mode for some time and then cut power shutting the dash cam off...

I've noticed rubbing / wear on a specific spot on the side of the spare, and I'm wondering is this is exacerbated by me leaving the spare overinflated. I've reduced the spare to match the other tires, and giving it a month or two to see if it helps.

You could probably pull power from the dash cam connector in the ceiling above the sunglasses holder https://www.4runner6g.com/forum/threads/redtiger-f7n-elite-dash-cam-front-and-external-rear-camera-w-rear-mount-install-with-lots-of-pictures.7727/

My favorite is the suspension. Before I purchased the Trailhunter I test drove a TRD Off Road and it was harsh. My Trailhunter is so much more comfortable.

Any recommendations for a good spray-on-wipe-off product?

Not obvious, but easy to figure out with a multimeter. I cut the Subaru harness in the middle and plugged it into the connector in the ceiling. Making sure the black wire of the multimeter has a good connection to the ground (such as the metal ceiling right there), touch the other three wires...

I typically ratchet strap a couple of 5 gallon cans on the roof rack. I’ll fill them up just before I go into the back country, and empty them as soon as I can when I get back to civilization. I try to avoid carrying full cans on the highway. At some point I’ll add a rear bumper with a gas...

I did use an HT with a mag mount 1/2 wave on the roof on a trail run a couple of weeks ago, did not notice any particular noise. We were on VHF, in case that matters.

Team fixed here! Have a single barrel ARB under the hood of my old 4th gen, so much extra space there! My 6th gen came with a compressor already built in. Hate my ARB digital tire inflator, always a hassle to get it to sit properly on the valve stem with its one single jaw lock. Added a Lock...

I usually do a visual inspection of both the engine and cabin filters after I go on an off roading trip and replace if they're dusty. When going with others (and not always in the lead) I'll even use the compressor to do a field clean on the engine air filter at the end of the day. Living in...

The Trailer hitch light switch

Here's what Blackstone Labs told me. This is after my second oil change at 3000 miles. in the physical properties section of the results, a trace of fuel showed up, which may have thinned the viscosity, but didn't bother the engine at all. Try 4,000 mi next. I did the first two oil changes at...

Answer is - it depends. If you're replacing a flat rear tire the standard jack is still the right size. Remember that the jack point is on the axle behind the tire (check the owners manual for the exact jack point), and the distance from the axle to the ground doesn't change when the vehicle...

Just googling around. If I remember correctly, I found it on a thread where someone had added a dashcam to their Sienna. Knowing that Toyota tends to reuse parts I decided to take a look at the connector in the ceiling of my 4Runner and they seemed to match.

Turning off the center screen is much easier on my eyes when driving longer distances on the highway at night. Makes me less tired.

Been traveling a lot for business this year and on my current trip I picked a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon from the Hertz president’s circle. This is what’s better on the Jeep: #1 real grab handles on both A pillars. My 4th gen has them too, and so do other Toyotas. Why oh why can we not get them on...
