actually all the bof toyota's are the same now

tundra, taco, 4runner, sequoia

6x139.7 (5.5), 95.1 hub, M14x1.5 (not sure if that is correct) and around 58-62 offset and 131 nm torque

Yes, correct.
I meant 17" and 16" previous gen BOF Toyotas have the bigger 106.1mm hub bore.
So technically New wheels will not fit old gens like previously.
Example : I have 2018' TrdOF taco wheels on my 99' 4runner.

The knob you turned is the manual locking hub that now the 4R doesn't have. I'm curious what's the mechanism that 4R uses to unlock the front hubs?

As to the recommendation of engaging in 4H at least 10 miles per month, when I had an old Bronco with manual hubs, I just locked the manual front hubs and drove in 2H normally on dry pavement and the whole front differential was rotated and lubricated.

The only "mechanism" is the switch by the shifter. There's nothing you need to do externally like you do with locking hubs.

Thanks for the great review. You made me smile when explaining how to engage the 4L on your Wrangler, I am an ex-Wrangler owner, 2013, and the procedure was the same.

Joined the group. Looking at potentially getting a 4Runner this year or next. I like reading owner's experience as what you shared.
