I have a ‘20 limited, and the shift knob has recently come loose. It’ll basically turns about 45 degrees anytime I shift in and out of drive. I don’t want to over tighten it and wreck the threads. Is there something you’d suggest I can do to fix it? Would something like teflon tape on the threads help? Thanks in advance.

P.s. I’ve already looked in the owners manual. /s

Yesterday, I went to a Toyota dealership in Guadalajara, Mexico, and while asking about cars, the salesperson told me that they’re bringing the new Toyota 4Runner soon. It’s official—they’ll finally be selling it in Mexico, and I also suspect it will be produced here as well.

Sometimes I have it barely engaged. I don’t think it’s doing any good. Just a comfort thing

That’s exactly my question I keep going back nd forth.

I’m considering of selling my 2017 taco trd pro and thinking about the 4th gen, but also maybe considering the 5th gen generally because of more longevity. I want to get a car and keep it for at least a decade or so. I’m wondering how long I’d be able to keep a car that’s already abt 20 years old, compared to a newer one.

I want to lift my 3rd gen for the looks and the clearance. I don’t do any crazy off roading. Just enough to have sum fun and go camping . I hear all the talk about blistein but I don’t know if I can justify $500 more for similar or slightly better performance.

Hey guys where is the best place to buy a TRD pro aftermarket grill for my sr5? I seen a lot of websites but I’m confused which ones are best in quality? Any suggestions?

I know the common response is with good snow tires chains are rarely required, but say I wanted some just in case conditions get real gnarly. For full time 4wd, do I go with chains for all 4 tires? Also, where can I get more information about clearance issues, which people often flag here. People say the manual, but I scoured my 500+ page user manual for the 2019, and it only says something like “put chains on rear wheels” in the entire book, which I don’t even think is correct for the limited trim. I also need to account for some after market lift and upsizing of the tires, which was done before I bought the car used.

Mine would be “well engineered”

Driving in the sand creates many situations where the car is tilted at weird angle or get into situations where you are hitting sand hard with one side of the car, generating G-forces that could easily cause side airbags to pop (especially when crossing over the dune ridge at high speed when you are changing car's orientation side to side over 90 degrees in a matter of a short second when crossing a crest).

I witnessed a guy in Tacoma having their seat airbags deployed during something like that. And just last week a guy who only put the car on the side got hit with exploding curtain. No damage to the car, but bloke landed in a hospital with severe concision caused by the airbag. But unlike the affected Ford, there is no way to get out of a car in this situation easily, because the airbag would also block the door, and we don't have roof panels that can be removed...

So these experiences got me thinking.

What is the easiest way to disable all airbags temporarily on 5gen 4runner?

Looking to buy a 2024 brand new. Am I too late? Willing to travel to get it.

I want a TRD off road premium in Barcelona red.

I’m wondering about longevity in the salt belt. I live in the Northeast US and I’m in the market for a used 4Runner.

What are your experiences with rust, etc? Thank you!

Does anyone know if these would work on a Sherpa roof rack? Looking to add these to help with elevation on photoshoots. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

2019 model

I am in the market for a new 4 runner 2024 model or possibly 2023 Lexus GX.

My Question is that on building the 4Runner in Toyota website, I see a dash cam that I can add to the purchase. Has anyone have any experience on getting it from the dealership if this is a good quality versus getting your personal dash cam on like amazon or so. Do you recommend the dash cam being offered on the Toyota website?

Am I doing it right?

I have a 2024 with stock wheels/tires. I definitely want to change these. The only issue is I drive my grandparents around a lot so I can’t do a crazy lift on the truck since they’ll struggle to get in.

I’d love to put 285/70r17 on it but that may not be an option since I would probably need a 3” lift.

My question is what is the largest size tires I can put on without lifting the vehicle? I’m ok with making some cuts/modifications.

I’m also ok with doing a 1-2” lift. What do you guys recommend?

Thanks!

Simply put, I just got a RWD 2000 4Runner SR5. How limited will i be for accessing camp spots?

I want to be able to go camping in some secluded areas, but worried I might have issues not having 4WD... (I am in San diego, but don't mind road tripping to a nice site)

I also might get some dirt tires and wheels and lift kit, but not sure if it's just a waste of money because I won't be able to utilize it..

It was cheap and needed some work, so I will atleast be able to use it for some basic road trips and camping after fixing it up without any mods, so it's whatever either way.

I posted my 2005 Limited on FB. The only two "bites" were scammers (get me report from XXX website" crap. Should I try Craigs List or something else?

So I ordered a prinsu pro and am super stoked. But I’m undecided on what prep work to do for it. Should I wrap it to protect the roof? I got a quote for $350 and was told it would last 2 years max or get PPF on the roof for $600 which I was told would last 10 years. My third option is to just get ppf for where the wind deflector touches the roof and suck it up and somehow clean the roof a lot more. What have you all done? Do you regret getting the roof wrap or not getting the roof wrapped? I feel like I have a decent amount of time to decided since their current lead times are 5 weeks

Looking for people to post photos of their lower viper cut. I like the look but I am running 255/80/17 I didn’t want it to look weird. With a 2.5” lift what size tires can I run max? I’m also worried about chopping up the bumper but I was probably going to do a front bumper anyways.

Got this 2022 4Runner TRD PRO a few weeks ago. What do yall think?

Saw this in the Ford lightening sub so thought I'd do it here. What are some lesser known things I should know about this vehicle? Stuff like the live weather map, or functions or features I might not know about. I came from a 2003 sr5, it's been a huge upgrade.

This spring (front) is coming off a 2005 4 Runner. The front shock/strut is by Freedom Off-road. Freedom states that this is not their spring. Any ideas how to identify it?

86030082-3 is what I see.
