At parties I need to act cool and just be like "yeah man! I can't imagine driving a rig without a sway bar disconnect mechanism anymore!" But under that brave face is a crying soul, worried about my poor gas mileage and tank range.

On LC/FE trims the trip MPG is not related to the trip odometer, it is the current active time driving since you started the car. You need to reset the total average when refilling to simulate a "tank" average. This can be done on the infotainment display easily, and it keeps track of the last...

This is me, and this is why I’m planning on only upgrading the dash speakers.

Anyone get the 3/4 length victory rack installed yet? I'd love to see some pictures

My continued pain point is the urban neighborhood/residential driving: 5-10 minute drives with stop signs/lights at every other block and speeds between 10-25mph. For a truck with so much power, it sure seems to have to work really hard to get from 0 to 15mph and then even harder to simply stay...

It only takes one night of street parking here to put a nice anti-reflective layer of dust on your hood.

Mind if I ask if there’s something you didn’t end up liking about the Rubitreks? I remember seeing your post a while back with your thoughtful and thorough reasoning for choosing them.

Your mileage may vary (hehe), but my last 4 Toyotas have all proven to have reliable MPG readings, including the Land Cruiser.

It works maybe 25% of the time for me. I haven’t figured it out yet. I rarely ever use though - partially because I don’t expect it to work 🤪

Welcome to the exclusive Softex seating crew. There are dozens of us!

Cargo box here. If you ski a lot, and I hope you do, do yourself a favor and invest in a cargo box.

I did mine at 1500mi but mostly because I was replacing my skids and I figured I might as well do it for fun while I had the skids off and the cruiser on the ramps. Otherwise I was planning to do 5k.

Wow, is this catering to the Sonoma/Laguna Seca amateur crowd?

This is a super interesting theory that might align with my experience. I had the squeek for maybe one week back in late July-ish. I only noticed it happening consistently in one particular parking lot and it was extremely hot out so AC was blowing hard. I haven't been in that parking lot...

That step is awesome. Such a nice thoughtful design touch. It will be the perfect spot for tossing/grabbing skis from the roof box. For summertime camping, when I’m doing a bit more “strategic packing” in the cargo box, stepping from there up onto the rear tire gets me into the sweet spot...

Voodoo Blue is the best Toyota color ever. It would be hard to say goodbye to that 4Runner!

There are ~20 states that require only 91 octane as "premium". 93 minimum octane rating would require more strict regulations.

I cried a little today when I was driving my RAV4 (hybrid) instead of the Land Cruiser and saw the 550mi estimated range on the current tank. (~44mpg during non-winter)

So far I've found the rear tire to be a perfect step when accessing my rooftop cargo box.

Only the left one can be used to connect to the media system (ie carplay). The other two are for charging only. I believe they are all the same wattage.

If I recall correctly from the manual - DAC is enabled if you are in 4Hi, and Crawl Control is only in 4Lo.

I’ve noticed the same thing. AC is obviously running when I haven’t explicitly turned on AC. For now while it’s still “AC weather” I’ve considered this to be a feature, not a bug. But as the weather starts to cool off I’ll have to figure out what’s going on and how to actually control the AC...

Here's quite literally dozens of websites: https://www.google.com/search?q=PT228-60242 https://www.google.com/search?q=PT228-35241

I've been collecting every TIS pdf i see on the forums, here's what I've got for Transmission Fluid.

That looks correct and a pretty good shipped price. Have fun!

Do a web search for the part number and you’ll find plenty of online parts dealers with varying discounts and shipping rates. I ended up getting both skids for $585 including shipping.
