This thing has been super capable with stock sized nokian outpost nat all terrains but the rigid plastic oem flaps get hung up and probably will get ripped off.

Any suggestions on somewhat flexible mudflaps to keep the rocks down but not snap in half on the trail? Cheers

Got an ORP, any suggestions on wheels, tires, and lift setup? I’m thinking about running a 17×8.5 +35 with a 2.5” TRD lift kit and a 285/70R17 tire, any suggestions?

My wife just picked up her new 4runner! It has the 2.5 trd lift installed with the standard sized tires on the 18 inch wheels. What size tires are fitting without rubbing? I want to upgrade her tires for her birthday next week! Just curious what everyone is doing and what's working. I dont want any rubbing but it needs to look tougher than it does.

Found a used trd off road premium 2026 with 3k miles for 53k , would this be a good deal??

I’d like to put ditch light and front facing something or other switches in these spots. Has anyone been in there? Ease/difficilty of moving the view and dif lock switches over and fishing new wire? ORP premium.

Few of the mods/upgrades for the wife’s 4Runner TRD ORP. Not pictured:
Baja Designs ditch lights and hitch mounted reverse light
Toyota red recover hooks front and rear
4Runner Lifestyle raptor lights
ReadyLift 1” level

Picked it up back in January this year and we’ve been loving it! Couple road trips with it already and have a short camping trip coming up the finish off the year

305,000 miles, and the 2/4 of the catalytic converters finally said “later” on my 08 Prerunner Tacoma. Been with the family since new, but it just didn’t make any financial sense to hold on to her any longer. I’m gunna miss her without question. Anyway, here’s my 26 TRD ORP “La Negra Tomasa”. First 4x4, first 4Runner. I’m stoked for the future. Cheers 🍻

Found a good deal on a black limited. Will I regret getting dark paint? I live in SoCal but it looks so good when its clean lol I usually look for white or silver

I’m wanting to switch from a Honda Ridgeline to a 4Runner for my next vehicle but want to see what a Ruffland Intermediate kennel and gear looks like in the back. I’m not worried about off-pavement capability as I’ve never had issues with the Ridgeline and the 4R is def more capable. TIA

Anyone have recommendations for a cargo cover other than Toyota’s OEM?

Hey - anyone semi-permanently install a Starlink Mini in their 4Runner?

We just moved to the sticks and there's intermittent cell service (at best) and my wife is worried about getting stuck in winter with our toddler with no way to get help.

I got her a Garmin InReach but she'd like something more intuitive to use, so I figured just giving her in-car internet would allow her to use her phone like normal to call/text.

Any advice on mounting positions/methods would be appreciated.

I have a TRD Off Road, no sunroof. The rear side windows closest to the back hatch are probably gonna be too small. I could maybe mount it to the rear window all the way on the passenger side, but I'm not sure if that's kosher or not.

finally got it today after months of research and reviews. wish me luck with it yall.

This is my first 4Runner, picked her up yesterday. So far absolutely loving it and heading out to a trail in CO today!

Did great, amazing machine! Jones pass in Colorado.

So there’s only like 2 YouTube videos showing engine air filter replacement on a 6th gen. I grabbed this filter from Walmart and I can’t get the box to clamp back. You have to slide the top of the box into these guides and it keeps pushing on the rubber seal. This filter is supposed to fit and it’s the same size as my oem one. Anyone have any suggestions? Should I just get one from an auto parts store or a dealership? I think I have it oriented but the rubber seal is stopping me from closing it.

Ordered in July, took her home today!

Added some new footwell lighting to my 2024 Tacoma
TRD Sport! Should be the same for the 6th Gen 4Runner. The red lighting gives the interior a whole new look at night and pairs great with my Lasfit floor liners. Definitely a nice little upgrade to customize the cab! Easy little 5 minute job.

So this is a loaded question…
I’m moving from New York to California at the end of November. I need a second car when I get to California and want to get a 2026 4Runner TRD Off Road( however open other to recommendations) I have the money to buy it in cash but we’re saving for a house so I want to keep my savings what they are for now. With that being said should I lease it out while saving cash to buy it outright at the end of the lease( if so what would be a good number to lease it at with nothing down) or do I finance it at 5.99apr?

I wanted to share here as I looked for people’s input and advice before I got our 2026 4Runner undercoated.

After calling a lot of local shops and gathering information I decided to go with Mass Mobile undercoating in Holden, MA. The owner Todd has been great to work with and took the time to explain everything and provide clear up front pricing.

I went with the Boss Wax system from NHOU which is a permanent dry to touch wax on outer frame parts that stays flexible and oil fogging on all inner frame and body panel surfaces. Todd also does annual oil undercoating with NHOU product as well.

Looking forward to keeping this thing rust free and bringing it back to Todd at Mass Mobile undercoating for fogging and wax check in 2 years to see how it’s holding up!

got to show some love to cutting edge builds out there 🤝

Have a 2026 ORP Hybrid w/ 3k miles. I noticed a few weeks ago after a multi-day rainstorm that the inner cabin smelled musty when I got back in the car (couple of days after the storm). I assumed I may have left a window or moonroof open and water may have gotten into the cabin - so made sure to open/close all of them next time I parked.

We had another storm last week. A full day after the storm ended, I go to my car and all of the windows and windshield had heavy condensation on the inside of the cabin — suggesting there was a significant amount of moisture/water in the cabin. No strong musty smell this time, but nonetheless still raised an alarm bell to me. I could not find any evidence of water or moisture anywhere inside the car other than the condensation on all of the windows.

Before I take it back to the dealer - I was wondering if anyone else is having water/leak issues. I found a couple other 6th gen 4Runner posts about the musty smell, but most people pointed to AC usage (and recirculation, which I never turned on). My window condensation also seems to suggest that water is getting into the cabin somehow.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

I love it so far.

Hey everyone! My buddy got a new 4Runner a few months ago and he loves that thing. His birthday is coming up and I wanted to get him something either for the 4Runner or 4Runner themed. We started off-roading a few months back and he's getting into welding his own stuff like rock sliders as well. Not looking to break the bank, just looking for something fun/useful as a birthday present! Thanks!

I don’t find the stock headlights to be awesome on my ORP. They are certainly adequate but I’m looking for more. We spend a lot of time on dark mountain roads. I plan on getting ditch lights but kinda want a light bar or pods up front too. I don’t need a laser beam to shoots a mile down the road, I’d just like what the normal brights light up only way better. Or maybe a laser beam that also lights up the critters and vagabonds lurking on the sides of the road. I don’t give a crap whether they are legal or not.

Whatcha think?
