New to this Forum

Purchased a Used 2014 Toyota 4Runner SR5 (** Correction Trail Edition **) so I'm the new guy. It's mainly going to be driven by my wife and weekends will be left for me .

It came loaded as well as a bit of a lift and really the only thing I will look at adding is a roof carrier once I decide which one I want.

Looking forward to the Forum.

welcome

 

She's looking clean. Probably won't stay that way for long.

You'll love the maintenance costs compared to BMW!

 

Did the previous owner add a front valence, Swap hoods for one with a hood scoop and blackout out the piece on the roof rack or is what you have there a TE?

NotaTRD,

I really have no history of the previous owner as I picked the 4Runner up from a dealer. So regarding the change of parts I don't know. Does it not look factory or do you think some parts were changed? I do know rims were added and a lift kit but that's it.

 

OP I think you have a trail edition as I can see what I think are leather seats. Do you have crawl and terrain control knobs by the sunroof controls?

 

Yes, leather seats with red stitching... And yes I do have the knob controls by the sunroof controls.. It's a 5 seater with the rear platform that slides out.. Thx

 

Yep, you got a trail edition! No SR5.

 

Would need some pictures of the interior to verify, but it looks to me like your SR5 may actually be a Trail Edition.

 

Already confirmed, OP has crawl control and terrain select knobs with leather seats and red stitching.

 

Well you can tell that I'm definitely a newbie when it comes to knowing my 4Runner

 

Pleasant surprise for the OP.

Having an e-locker means one less mod to do!

 

TE would also have a manual transfer case shifter instead of an electronic switch.

Congrats on the "upgrade"!

 

Welcome from Arizona Tony.

 

Welcome.

 

Congrats, just for your reference OP the Trail is a significantly more capable version of the SR5 regarding offroad.

 

That's great to hear, I'm looking forward to adding a few things to this over time.

 

Welcome from Phoenix.

 

Yes it is and welcome.

 

Ok, first modification to my 4Runner :

- plasti-dip rear Toyota emblem

 

Next up, is a new Roof Rack which I just ordered from RA Motorsports (Modular full length)

Once changed out I will add pics.

 

Putting a real roof rack on a 5th gen 4 Runner makes quite a difference! I can’t understand the 1985 Buick station wagon roof rack on such a cool vehicle. You’d think Toyota could steal a couple of after market designs and upgrade it.

 

I contemplated a TRD Stock rack as there was one for sale locally and I like them a lot but then started looking more into a full rack. I then decided it was probably better for my needs to go with a full length one.

My parents had a 79 olds stationwagon....with a roof rack

 

There are some great choices out there! Mine’s a 3/4 Front Runner, because that’s all I needed and I didn’t want to cover up the sun roof. It’s quiet, and versatile and I use it regularly for everything from ladders to canoes. But the other options are good too.

 

My first upgrade, full length modular roof rack which will be great for trips.

 

Welcome!

 

Minor upgrade with the 4Runner Raptor Lights

 

Another upgrade for my 4Runner
