4Runner Owners Registry

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback! He really is a beautiful rig, I've only had him for a little over a month and I am the happiest I can be when I'm in that cockpit. I drove him back from Bozeman to NY and enjoyed it thoroughly!

How did you find out they were selling? I figured they would sell locally like they did with their old Tacoma.

Here's my weekend warrior/Daily Driver

Finally a 4th gen! Looks great. I have only ever seen two red before and they look fantastic.

I have been a T4R guy for some time now but my latest is an 06 Sport. Just beginning to get it set up for some exploring adventures. Waiting on parts to arrive!

Great look. I have an '07 Sport with 265/70/R17s. What did you do to get that stance? I need to stop the tires rubbing on full crank, but nothing to outlandish.

A 4runner thread, nice!

I just picked up this 2016 TRD Pro. Everything is stock for now, will slowly mod things as I need them. Added a few convenience items like Huskey liners and N-Fab side steps for the wifey.

Question for other 5th gen/TRD Pro owners. Have you been able to successfully get your alignment within Toyota specs? I noticed my car would drfit slightly to the left, and my steering wheel needs to be turned slightly to the right in order to go straight. I took it to an alignment shop, and they were unable to get everything within spec (I used Toyota 4runner Trail specs, they didn't have one for the TRD Pro). My caster is slightly out of range. I found others complaining about the same thing on some 4runner forums, but it doesn't seem like anyone has found a resolution.

I recommend taking it to a dealer. I have a 4th gen, but the dealer did a great job on the alignment.

Technically it's my better half's, but we picked this 2018 TRD Off Road Premium up from the dealer last week. It's our first Toyota, having mostly owned Jeeps. I'm excited to try it out on the trails, it will be a mild build as we have the Jeep Rubicon for the rougher stuff. We'll upgrade the tires to BF Goodrich K02s, add some sliders and appropriate skids and maybe eventually a small lift. Otherwise, we will probably leave it alone as it is her daily driver and we have an off-road trailer which has all the other goodies we need on the trail.

Here it is in the driveway the morning after the pickup:

The 4Runner and the Jeep, living in harmony..haha!

The 4Runner can handle anything the Jeep can do.

Hi guys! Here's mine;

It's a 97 hilux surf with the 3.0 intercooled turbo diesel, I'm waiting for it to come from Japan so its stock (as far as I know) but I'm excited to start over landing and building my rig!

Right hand drive! I like it.

It looks awesome! And now the build begins....

XO told me that they had to sell Apollo and Rufio to fund their South America expedition and because it is expensive to own and operate a lot of vehicles. Sad to see them go. Hopefully, they'll decide to use 4Runners in the future.

Update on Rufio's status. XO sold it to Garmin. If you go to this Garmin Overlander page (Garmin Overlander™ | Navigation for Overlanding) and click on the video at the bottom of the page, you will see Rufio in Garmin livery and about 0:46 in, you will see Ivan Stewart's signature on the headliner (remember, he signed both Apollo and Rufio). So now we now.

You might try spacers on your front wheels, cost about $50 and cures many frame rum problems. Just follow instructions on install for safety sake and I wouldn't exceed 1 1/2" with stock wheels.

This is my favorite Toyota of all time. I like it as much as my LRD2 but don't tell her she might quit on me..

What front bumper is that?

Looks to be the Pelfrybilt who is no longer in business.

In my opinion, voodoo blue and calvary blue are the best colors. Ever... If only Toyota had offered them for the 4th gen 4Runner.

What lights are you running on the rack?

 

[SilverRunner]

What lights are you running on the rack?

They are some inexpensive lights I got off of Amazon. They've been up there for the last 2+ years without issue. The center two are spot and the outer 2 are floods.

What front bumper is that?

It is from the now falling from grace Pelfreybilt. I do love it!
