    Thank you. I have had it for a few weeks. I really like it. I did post pictures but I will put them below again. I have the 2.0 x 2.5 meter awning. It pulls out 2.5 meters. It goes pretty high at least 7ft. I am only 5’ 7” so you have almost a foot on me so that might be different for you. I know it goes a little higher than that but it definitely isn’t like those awnings that go way up there.

    All of them.
    I have the front runner and I already have awning mounts that came with it. I wish the bag was black but at the price point i can live with it.

    I completely agree on the color. I am trying to stick to a color pattern and this throws it off a bit but it gives it character I guess.

    Maybe a stupid question but what is the length of the awning from truck to stakes? Can I lay straight in it?
    I will be adding the enclosed room when I get it. Is there an extension to make a sun shade or must you shorten the covered area for more shade. Is this an extra piece I need to add? I need to talk to my 4x4 shop for all options.
    Thanks,
    Ryan

    Well it says 2.5 meters from truck to the pull out. I haven’t actually measured it. I haven’t installed the enclosure yet so idk what those measurements are yet either. Sorry

    Please, just let me know the interior dimensions of the room. I just found the "awning extra". I am really liking this brand.
    I missed your first posts due to a snowstorm & I plow.
    I cannot find anywhere. Do you need an aftermarket roof rack to mount this awning?
    Thanks a ton,
    Ryan.

    Yeah I will have to put it up eventually so I might do that sometime tomorrow to get you the dimensions.

    FWIW...I have plugged multiple tires over the years and driven on them for tens of thousands of miles with no problems.

    One of them was a Goodyear Duratrac with 2 plugs in the same tire.

    Gotta do what you're comfortable with though.

    I had a huge nail in my tire the other day. I brought it down to the local tire shop. Got it all patched up from the inside of the tires in 2 hours. It was a lot larger than a roofing nail. I have had multiple items in my tires before and not a single problem.

    The 4Runners (most) comes with blank areas that you can install switches to. Why do we not get an aux switch panel?
    Maybe on the 6th gen.

    Now for a serious but stupid question I have had for almost 2 years now. We hardly drive @ night (especially with covid) but have had a perplexing time with this silly thing.
    Yes, I read the manual front to back upon purchase. I also will ask for directions.
    Anyway, is there a button in the cabin that will turn on all the interior lights?
    Seriously, I have looked & tried everything. I cannot get all interior lights on without a door open. Is this normal or can I wire a bypass?
    Thanks,
    Ryan

    Forgive me if I’m incorrect about this, but I recall if you find the dial wheel which controls interior light brightness and move in an upward position until you here it click … you’ve turned on all interior lights and if you turn the wheel down it turns them off … give it a shot tomorrow. See photo below and let me know if this works.

    As in every vehicle since I can remember that is how you do it. However, if you click ours to max it makes all the dash lights remain on high (maybe for wheeling in the day). However, it has no effect on any interior lights. I must turn on the overhead (from doors open to on) then hit each map light. But if I need them all I must open a door to turn on all door & hatch lights.
    If ours is incorrect please advise & I will call the dealership tomorrow.
    Thanks,
    Ryan.

    Hey guys I know it’s suspension based but feel a lot more traffic in this forum and it’s 5th gen based so...

    I installed my icon coilovers with dirt king bj UCAs, wheelers t13 coil with 5100 in back. I greased everything well, torqued and retorqued after 100 miles.

    I am getting a subtle sound on driver side (I think front but ‍♂️) when going through some minor bumps here n there. Sounds like what a worn uniball or a loose coil would sound like. Not all the time, not on bigger bumps but more like when it drops into a bump. I recheck the torque on everything last night. Looked for any play in all the ball style joints, in the coilover spherical bearings/coil, wheel bearings etc. nothing loose or even tiny bit of play. I think it may be the rear coil trying to seat on that cone bump stop or something ‍♂️
    Any tips or ideas with my vague description lol.

    Many times I had to turn an switch on the hood light for my kid to find something.

    Or when after everyone else is ready to roll but my kiddo seatbelt is not buckled have to turn back an turn the hood light.

    Would be awesome to have an easy access button to turn on lights. Some Toyota's have this button near the mirror. When you turn to position 3 all interior lights turn on.

    Anytime backup camera is an free feature when you have front camera. Atleast on mine press 1 - Front cam -> press 2 - back cam -> press 3 - back to home page :)

    Of course. No secrets here. I simply put my 4Runner in the garage. Like this:
