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

Or learning how to drive better. Millions of soccer moms have driven 4Runners without any issues with the handling.

 

Many lifted with AT tires, even.

 

k, byeeeee!

 

Uh-oh...cue the miserable bass-turds who will chime in and say, "rock sliders don't prevent door dings!" I've had my 2023 with sliders for 2+ years now and no door dings yet, in spite of parking next to other cars in a parking garage at least 5 days/week...but surely the sliders have nothing to do with it

 

guy bans all from his dismal profile


this is me looking down on you now (literally) Mr. Camry Hybrid

 

It'll probably outlast the 4Runner. Most taxis and airport limos in my city are Camry hybrids, Highlander hybrids, and Sienna hybrids (all based on the same platform). Lighter unibody vehicle with independent suspension will typically have better ride and handling.

 

And less whinging?

 

Blacked out the TRD Pro skid plate with some SEM Trim Black Ultra, Tufskinz TRD letter inserts in reflective black topo, and black stainless steel bolts from ProBolt USA.

While I was at it also replaced the shock member brace with the one included in the OME BP-51 fitment kit to give some clearance between the sway bar and the OEM brace

 

Looks good. I have been waiting to see someone do this for a while now...

 

I was thinking about turning mine black but keeping the red letters. I painted the recovery hooks red , purchased another recovery hook for the right rear and painted those red. Nothing too crazy, just a little subtle.

 

You’re not wrong, I’ve heard great things about those cars.

First a man starts driving a Camry, and next thing you know he enjoys Chardonnay

 

Imagine getting pulled over and having to tell the officer "I swear, I only had two chardonnay's!"

 

There are those of us who never left Camrys and Corollas to commute in 4Runners on lifts and 33 inch ATs.

If people didn't have such a stick up their rear to want to command and conquer the roads in their BOF Syrian Civil War ready SUVs on their way to the office and gym, we would all be in a better place.

 

Some of us would rather commute in our lifted 4Runners with 35-inch ATs instead of puny 33's.

 

Honestly -- and fueled by a beverage -- I figure a lifted 4Runner on 35s would handle better than a Camry on 35s.

 

It is rather courteous of folks like you to let the rest of us know to stay away from you in case you make an evasive move in an emergency with your 35s and lifts.

 

Took the Yakima off tonight. Hopefully it will cut down on the wind noise and give me an extra 25hp lol.

 

Swapped out the hood scoop for a black one. Thanks @TRoosevelt for the quick shipping and careful packaging.

 

What if the roads you commute on are in worse shape than those in war stricken Syria?

 

Or speaks Punjabi and was a doctor in his native country.

 

Meh, 35s are an OEM optional size on several trucks and SUVs now. Toyota has always been behind the curve with tire sizing.

 

The most popular car in Afghanistan is the Corolla station wagon.

Cars with tall sidewall tires handle potholes better than most SUVs and damages are far cheaper to repair.

 

That may be true in regards to the new Toyota trucks with no bump stops but most other trucks and SUVs have stronger suspension components than cars.

 

And yet somebody will inevitably still want to argue with a guy named Turd.

 

Its a funny name

 

Haha.

Fueled by beverage.... My name is MywyfsRnnr because my daily is a Corolla, my wife gets the Runner! Hahaha. I have the Impala, Chevelle, Bel Air, t bucket, Corolla, CJ5, and others but my wife gets the reliable Runner hahaha. Shhhhhhhhhh

 

Or here in California!!!!!

 

I'm just here for the geography lesson

Just when i got a handle on all my vices, i run into the local dealer.
