What have you done to your 5th Gen 4Runner today?

Check the Yakima park numbers, they may be different models , some of those baskets are longer

 

So, I just spoke with my local dealership. They spoke directly with Toyota who said that the products are exactly the same. The difference is that the higher priced part comes directly from Yakima while the cheaper part is a "Toyota" part. They are exactly the same.
I asked him what the difference was then, and his response was, "It's basically the warranty that's the difference."

 

Could be that they appear the same because Toyota’s website is reusing the same pic for two different models.
Not the first time.

 

Your ad from Atlanta shows the 00222 ($599) as fitting 12 models and 195 variants but does not list specific vehicles
Your ad from Atlanta shows the 60200 ($470) as fitting 2 models and 52 variants but does not list specific vehicles

I found these parts listed at Sparks Toyota with the 00222 listed for RAV4 and Tundra and 60200 listed for 4runner and Landcruiser.
Also at Sparks the prices are nearly the same at $462 for the 60200 and $473 for the 00222.
Sparks also describes the 00222 as a canoe carrier but then lists another part as a canoe carrier immediately beneath the 00222 listing.
I think they have these listings screwed up because they are reselling a 3rd party part.
I would echo jwctaco and verify part numbers through Yakima.

Sparks link. Scroll up and down to see the various parts as it is a list of a bunch of different exterior accessories.

Good luck.

 

The way the local Toyota dealer described it to me is that one is a Yakima product and the other is a "Toyota" product. However, they are EXACTLY THE SAME product.
Essentially it comes down to warranty. Toyota warranties their products for a year, Yakima limited lifetime.

 

Jeez, so I ran them through a few different online dealerships I've had luck with over the years and it's all over the place.
Fitments vary, prices from $460 to $599, some will ship and some will not, shipping costs vary - A LOT. None of them mention the warranty info you received from your dealer...
I'll repeat the sentiments from my previous post.
Good Luck!

 

My last Yakima basket set up I bought in 95’ , granted I took care of it, it with my 18’ Tacoma when I sold it. Can’t wait to get my new set up installed on the T4R . It’s Yakima’s Lock N Load platform, cool thing is that I can get in and out of the garage with it on

 

One of the reviewers on the Yakima site also stated they had theirs for 21 years on a couple different vehicles.

 

Nah. I just use the rust reformer/paint technique. I don’t want any waxy greasy film on metal parts. I want to be able to do minor paint touch ups in the future. Of course I live in a no-salt zone so YMMV.

 

.
...^^^... I buy things from them and I would show them the lower price. It's easier if you go to the parts counter to get the discount.

Sometimes it is an item that the customer didn't want also or slow moving stock.

 

Ya you make good points, I like the ability to touch up as well. Removing fluid film for painting obviously would not be fun.
I’ve been slowly painting the frame, no waxy greasy stuff yet (except for on the KDSS)

 

These just look like they would wear quick. Anyone with experience with this product? I do like the looks of them.

Payday; late night cruise to credit union atm for cash, and gas run on edge of town.

 

Living life dangerously.

 

That was my first thought.

 

Your rig looks great. What is your tire and wheel setup?

 

A friend of mine had his garage opening enlarged (heightened), so he could get his car inside without unloading his bike. :^)

 

Added the blacked out sequential mirror signals yesterday from caliraisedled, install wasn't too bad and they work great

 

I want / need a heated pole barn ,

 

You and me, both!

 

got my hands dirty a bit..

43k-ish milage.. all fluids flushed and did oil change..

• transmission
• coolant
• power steering
• brake fluid
• rear and front gear oil
• top off washer fluid
• checked front and rear brake pads

 

Of course when I’m looking into buying thread testers
Notices this while fishing some wiring

anyone know the bolt I’m looking for?


Side note edit:
I know I’ve seen post “what part is this?”
Don’t think we have a dedicated thread for that
Sorry mods

second side note:
Found some 8mm from my old makeshift skid set that worked
For @djwantke ‘s concern
Deftones-pink maggit

 

It’s a flanged hex head M6 x 16 with flat washer…sometimes called an Arbor Bolt.

 

Looks like I have a rear brake caliper that seized up while my wife was driving. I jacked it up and it spins fine once it cooled off. Not sure if something got stuck in there and it’s now good or if it needs to get replaced.
Anyone else have issues with theirs?

 

Went for a (relatively) short drive up towards the summit, darn it that most of the forest service roads are closed for the season (Dec. 16). Got to test the OTT tune above 5000' ASL (Datapoint: 40 mph rolling start to 60 mph on a 12% uphill grade took around 3 seconds) and a few 6" packed snow drifts to just dart around on. Most of this side of the sierras there is ok cell coverage but I tested out the signal booster anyways...worms like a charm!
