Re: choosing options [tlt] by jaredmsd

Larger wheels onroad will provide better handling, but a slightly less cushy ride. Offroad it will only give you less rubber between the ground and the rim, but unless you are doing serious offroading, it shouldn't be and issue.
 
The more rubber you have, the cushier the ride, the less rubber, the more precise the handling will be.
 
Regarding X-REAS, I would suggest to just drive both vehicles and see which you like. By getting the Sport, you aren't just getting the REAS as an add-on, you are getting the extra options here and there, and as you mentioned larger rims, and larger brakes ( which can't fit with 16" rims ).
 
Good luck.

We ended up getting the weathertech floor and cargo liners. They fit perfect and covered the edges all around to the max. Color matched perfect and is the nicest looking floor liners I have ever seen. The company has developed the liner for the second row that goes all the way across including the hump. We also ordered that and only had to pay 15 shipping for the whole thing. The second row can be ordered in about a month and will match the front ones. The cargo liner is also the right style we were looking for and also covers the sides nicely.
 
Another item we discovered was the standard Toyota hitch cover. It is very stylish and will keep the inside of the hitch from rusting. Fits snugly and is a rubber like material. Looks much nicer than the one the dealership had on.

Rear Spoiler by robg4

Considering adding a rear spoiler to my 06 SR5. I noticed a 4 runner today that had their rear braking light on the spoiler. With my rear top braking light on the vehicle is it possible to add a spoiler?
 
If so, is it possible the screws used could rust from water penetration between the spoiler and vehicle?

2005 4R LTD navigation screen used as regular display by mminkous

Hi folks,
 
I have a 2005 4R LTD with navi.
I plan to add an overhead DVD player and a local TV tuner. Is Alpine a good choice?
Also, is there a way to make the stock navigation screen also accept outside inputs to act as a regular display??
 
Thanks much!

I found that Weathertech gives a PERFECT fit for the front, while Xtreme does it perfectly for the second row. The colors matched very very well across manufacturers. This mix-and-match worked perfectly for me.

Did you ever find towing mirrors for your 04 4Runner? I have the same problem with my 04 4Runner Limited. Seems like there is not a lot of selection to pick from.

hitch bike rack question by gostros
Mar 01, 2006 (8:54 am)

hey guys, i'm sure this has been discussed before, but searching the archives is proving difficult and new products might have been developed since the last time this was discussed.
 
I am preparing to purchase a hitch rack that carries 4 bicycles for my 4Runner. Due to cost, I am not going to purchase the rack that holds the bikes by the tires, but the one that supports the frame. I believe that I have a 2 inch hitch.
 
Yak and Thule seem to be the most popular brands.
 
1. Do I need a rack that swings out (sideways) or one that leans forward in order to be able to open the tailgate while loaded with bikes?
 
2. Which version of each brand is the most durable (i.e. more metal than plastic)?
 
3. Are there any other brands that you guys would recommend.
 
4. What is the weight rating of the 4Runner's hitch?
 
Thanks in advance.

2006 4Runner SR5 + Pioneer AVIC-D1 Install by smalldog

Last night, my fiance and I bought a 2006 4Runner SR5. I am trading-in my 2005 Nissan 350Z roadster as part of the deal.
 
I am removing the stereo from my 350Z which is double din Pioneer AVIC-D1 navigation unit, along w/ the XM radio module, and I want to put it into the ner car.
 
My question is this.. Can it be done? I checked on Crutchfield and it says it can't be done, but does anyone know if the car an accomodate an double din sized head unit? I don't want to buy a unit with a flip up screen because that would just look cheezy (IMO)
 
Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated.
 
Thanks in advance,
Jeff

Greetings from Chicago. I just purchased an '06 4Runner sport, however, it did not come with the chromatic mirror which also has the thermometer built in. According to the dealer, you need to have a special winshield in order to install the OEM chromatic mirror. Does this sound right to you? How difficult was it to install and how much was it? How did you run power to the mirror? Thanks for your feedback.

why would anyone want to remove the running boards? I have the lighted ones, which I really like and would not remove.
