    My New 4Runner

    Hey man, welcome to the 4R family. I picked up a 2017 SR5 back in the spring and I've done a healthy amount of mods to it. I keep my thread pretty up to date and I'll link to it below. When I bought mine I made a list of mods and prioritized them on paper and that helped me get things organized...

    Spare tire carrier

    I've been searching for a spare tire carrier for my 5th gen as well. I had my heart set on a Detours of Maine swing away but last week I started looking into them seriously and found several reports of the Detours owner ignoring communications attempts via his website (which I can also speak to...

    2017 5th Gen 4Runner Build (Updated)

    After much debate I've decided to relocate my antennas from the comet RS-840 trunk lip mounts located on the rear liftgate as pictured above to the roof rack. The RS-840 is a fairly robust mount and worked well for the 2m/70cm antenna however did not perform well with the weboost antenna. At...

    2017 5th Gen 4Runner Build (Updated)

    This past week we installed our new prinsu full length roof rack complete with ridgeline handles and Baja designs rock lights for perimeter lighting. The lights were wired to an Anzo 4 channel wireless remote which uses a key-fob like remote which will allow us to turn them on and off from...

    Gaia saved waypoint icons inconsistent across devices. Need help

    So like many of us I use Gaia GPS for 99% of my navigation and trip planning. I'm having a couple of issues I'm hoping someone has a fix for. I use it across 2 devices, my Iphone 12pro max and my Ipad mini 5th gen. I do a majority of my route planning from a windows laptop. I use different...

    2017 5th Gen 4Runner Build (Updated)

    So I recently threw up a post in the general discussion thread about my new vehicle; The 2017 4Runner SR5 premium that I bought at the end of March. The build is coming along nicely so I'm starting a Build Thread. I'll try to include where I bought certain modifications, and what my lead time...

    Where can I find maxtrax?

    I completely agree with you, and thats still a very valid rationale. the biggest reason im looking to switch to maxtrax is for the space savings. I would like to have 4 boards and i can store 4 maxtrax in the space of 2 xbull. The xbull worked alright for me. But im looking to invest in...

    Where can I find maxtrax?

    Yeah, Im actually looking to upgrade from a pair of xbull traction boards that split on first use and faded within a year. I know theyre expensive, but i think im going to get them anyways.

    Where can I find maxtrax?

    Does anyone have any leads on a currently in stock maxtrax seller? Safety orange color only. A few odd ball places have the uncommon colors. Looking to order 4. Thanks!

    New Rig; 5th Gen 4runner

    Thanks! its a 2017 with 86k miles currently. There's a moderate amount of northern NY rust on the under side but nothing some POR15 didn't fix. I did however have heavy rust on the internal supports for the rear window motor inside the lift gate. It was obviously nothing you could see from the...

    Jerry Cans

    Ive had a set of midwest can jerrys for about 10 years. The original caps are trash, throw them out before you even put fuel in them. I put a set of ez pour caps and they haven't leaked a drop.

    New Rig; 5th Gen 4runner

    My poor '07 WK overland rig spent the better part of last winter as a 2.5 ton paper weight after a slew of issues piled on seemingly at once around the 136k mile mark. One of the front struts went completely tits up, a catalytic converter started throwing an inefficiency code (which is an...

    Who carrys a firearm with them while camping?

    I find it a rather bold statement for one to vehemently state that a person he does not know does or does not need something, be it a firearm or otherwise, and doing such is a foundational behavior of a tyrant. But in truth, i do not believe it is a matter of "need" at all. Its a question of...

    Rhinoline, Monstaline Ect. Pros and Cons? Post your pictures.

    That looks great! I'm planning to do mine in the near future. My jeep is a 2007 and the paint is showing a lot of "character" I think a liner job is just the ticket. I really like your rig.
