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

It seems to matter where you're looking. The app can read my TPS at any time. However, the mid display has a speed threshold and it shows dashes instead of tire pressure when it is below that speed. I don't know what it would do if I had a spare with TPS and got the head unit reprogrammed to show it, but I assume the spare pressure would show on the mid unit only above the speed threshold just like the regular tires. I wonder if the app would show the spare.

ETA: If you've exceeded the speed threshold and then dipped below it without turning off the vehicle, it will continue to show the last reading from above threshold.

 

From what I am reading from those (who have pre-2020 4Rs) with a sensor in the spare, whether a Limited or not, it seems that the sensor can be added to the system. I just have to find out what the best way to do that is. As much as I hate to, I may have to make a trip to one of the two dealerships in town.

At this point in time, I don't know if any of the information from 2020+ YM posts are applicable to my 2019.

Thanks to all who've responded.

@wax poetic - thank you for your patience. I've been trying to clear this up, and also find a person willing to bring this if they're making the trip to ABQ.

Second brake job completed at 155k miles (first was at 85k). Guess I’ll do it again around 220k.

 

Custom decal by member MyWyFsRnner added today to my Pro.

 

Drove the '23 SR5 to work........filled up with gas..........drove 'er home! Smiled every mile!

 

Stock Skid Plate? Just bought a new 2024 SR5. Haven't given the Skid Plate a good look, I kicked it and it sounded like metal. Not as cool looking as yours.

 

Curious as to why? I definitely like my 2023 Pro way better then my 2018 TDR OR & there was nothing wrong W/TRD OR just like the, looks, sound & extra features.

 

Well, it’s a TRD Pro OEM skid plate. The SR5 has a good skid but I picked this up for $225. It’s like 3 times as thick for off-roading purposes.

 

Right right. A Pro is badass…king of Toyotas…whether it be Tacoma, Tundra, Sequoia (spelling?), but the SR5 is just a good ole simple Toyota…and I like simple, and realizing that after I bought a newer Pro.‍

 

What I didn't like about my 2015 Tacoma TRD Sport was the electronic Xffer case to 4x4. My 2 previous FJ's 08 & 12 had manual like the TRD OR & Pro. I don't like the delay when driving in snow conditions when there's not snow then a huge drift appears in head lights. Just a personnel preference ,eh!

 

if I could go back in time i would have never gotten rid of my 2003 Tacoma. I would trade my 4Runner to have that truck back.

 

why?? Am curious as to the "down side" of trade? I was way happy to go from 2015 Tacoma TRD Sport to 2018 4R TRD OR & I do NOT like/want a true 4 door vehicle BUT the trade off was Significantly worth it to me.

 

I’ll sip a cold one to that, man.

 

Oh snap! I had a 2003…was beautiful…guy flew from Washington State (I’m in TN) to buy it…drove that bad boy all the way back. Epic story.

 

No specific downside, I just prefer a truck. The 2003 Tacoma was a TRD Prerunner Extra Cab with a camper. Having a dedicated truck bed was more suitable for my needs.

However, due to life, the Tacomas (2003 and 2013 Regular Cab) no longer fit the bill. Insert the 2021 4Runner.

 

Love that truck. I had one just like it.

 

Yep, 3 kids in the back of any Tacoma crew cab is TIGHT.

 

I’d slap my mother-in-law to have it back, man.

 

Me too!! I loved my 2 FJ's W/Suicide doors & was Totally PO'd when Toyota decided to stop importing them to USA in 2014 yet to other parts of the world for a short time!! That vehicle fit my needs %100++ 4Runner is best substitute for now. Still want a 2 door W/suicide doors. My wife Loves the 4Runner's.She wasn't happy W/0.85 frt lift & 275 tires on the last 4Runner.

 

The Fedex Santa brought me a cargo cover. Not bad for $60 from eBay (Item number 386694167041). Fits perfectly, feels solid, and the contact points are all covered in felt so it doesn't rattle. Happy 4Runner dad.

 

Haha! The wives love a stock ride for some odd reason. We went from a 2011 Caddy Escalade ESV (long AF) to a Pro, which she drives mainly cos it’s new and “fancy”. I drive my 2015 SR5…cos I’m…well…simple.

In 5 years, my 11 year old gets the SR5 (maybe), I’ll strategically take over the Pro…and my wife gets a Land Cruiser (maybe). Who knows…

 

I need this in my life. #dadlife

 

Both my sons here recommend it for any 4Runner, 10/10.

 

I understand.
Sometimes less is more.

 

Oh no wife says too big!!LOL she has a 2023 230i BMW & says the hood is too long!! She did use the FJ's to retrieve Christmas Greens but not the Tacoma's or the 4Runners!

 

AW we had to put down out TJ going on 3 yrs after 17!! I want another black one but she's fighting it. She was not a kitty person till I got TJ!!! I have her son/Daughter In-Law & our grand daughter working on her to let me get another "Little Buddy"

 

I'm terribly sorry to hear about TJ, these guys are literally my family. Absolutely dread the day it happens to me. Try to give them the best life every single day.

 

He was so cool, smart & she loved him soo much!!! I taught him to shake paws, go sleepy & a lot more. She is jus says "what if we die before him" I'm 64 Step son is 45, he has cat & likes then, ergo He'll take it IF we pass!! She's a women!!!!

 

Don't ask me, I'll literally drive you to the shelter and help you make it happen lol.

 

Our ex-Daughter-In-Law Fosters kitties all the time! My Grand daughter knows how much I want a male black kitten!! She's on the look out. Actually my ex-daughter in-law got us TJ!! She knew there was a black male kitten needing a home & viola TJ !!
