I would love to know what the actual problem is. So many rumors out everybody is scared to buy a tundra at this point.

I plan to have my Toyota Dealer update my RAV4 XLE PREMIUM soon. Thanks

👌🏼👌🏼

First time buying tires at 157,000 miles. The tires must have been replaced and practically brand new when you purchased it with 85,000 miles on it? Nice job, nice video. Thanks for logging the information. 👍👍

Excellent video and information. I have a 2019 model with 47,000 miles and it is just like your model. My navigation system won't work with my Android phone as this vehicle only works with an iphone and the Entune app is outdated. Do you think my Toyota dealer could update my RAV4 so that my navigation system will pop up on the screen and other features?

The snorkel is not for submerging the vehicle. if water gets that high it would short the battery anyway. A snhorkel is only to receive cleaner air on dusty roads or offroading situations.

Just got my 2023 4Runner. I don't like the factory running boards too thin! What kind are these nice wide ones?

I'm thinking that level of gunge in your engine suggests the quality of the diesel you are using is really really poor.

Question: When you lock the doors the beep can hardly be heard. Yes it is turned to full in setup. Is there any way to wire the lock/unlock beep to the horn?

So I use Amsoil and filter rated for 25k miles or 1 year but change it every 7k miles but more importantly I am ocd with checking the oil level and color and air filter is HUGE deal as well.

Army green or bronze for your TRD 😘

After doing the service on my way forerunner, I was looking at installing a three-way valve so that way none of the hoses need to come off in order to exchange out the fluid possibly even leaving a permanent 3 foot hose coiled up under the hood. Also, I was looking at taking that cooler pipe for the power steering unit and actually adding a small transmission cooler instead of just the pipe that runs in front of the radiator

186k miles and my oil control valve filters were nearly perfectly clean. Very good to find that out, as I just bought the truck and I was a little concerned about how well the original owner had maintained it. He was a DIYer and had no real maintenance records. Thank you for these videos!

In middle east youll see 2016-19 landcruisers with 300-500k miles, the earlier models (100& early 200 series) can be seen with more than 500k, some even higher than 750k miles. Its not uncommon.

My 2011 4 Runner has 250,000 miles and has never had any mechanical problems. I have done regular maintenance! Yes brakes, rotors and calipers need to be replaced fairly often, but that is okay for me! I plan to drive my 4 Runner for 500,000 miles!

did you sell your OEM rack?

There’s about .75 cents worth of material there! - get real

Wow, thanks for sharing. What specific tdi is that? - take care

I’m stationed in Rhode Island and I left around midnight on Veterans weekend to get to Cape May ferry which is about six hour drive. When I arrived at the terminal, I was curious how much I made from that drive and was at 24.5 mpg. Mine is a ‘21 bought it a little over a year ago from Texas before I had orders to move to RI. I added a front grille with a light bar (about 35-45 lbs), a rear bumper guard, and all terrain tires (at 34 psi). Everything else is stock and nothing crazy like cutting the bumpers. I’m surprised with the added weight that it didn’t affected mileage but the front grille did the trick to tell people to move out of the fast lane lol

Legendary, built like a tank plus the badge is TOYOTA,what else you ask for? Can’t wait for it in your 2025 project Paul!!!

Thanks mate. Much appreciated. I'm in Melbourne. Australia. Just bought a RAV4 so far so good. Thank you for your video.

Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family. Wishing you many blessings and a bright 2025!!!❤🎄🥃

Love the videos. Been a go to for my year of 4 Runner ownership. I noticed on your mpg video you had the handle on. Did you find a better one or are you living with the one you have?

Had my FJ frame revived at garden state auto repair in saddle brook, Chris is the owner and has a great metal fabricator who was abke to make my FJ safe again.

Estimate 356 miles on a full tank. Dang. My 24 TRDOR is always at 329 miles or less.

Have this on 2010 4Runner, 23 4Runner and 23 Tacoma.

For the blinking compass, you need to find which zone you are in and set it to that zone. then while it is programming you have to drive it in circles until it calibrates

On how many miles should I change power steering fluid?

Go for it!

Thanks for the great info nuggets! I'm about to buy a [used] 2024 4R SR5 Premium w/low miles. I'm wondering if I'll regret no longer having a physical ignition key...also, which years and trim pkgs still have the physical key available, and do you think it is worth it to get an older 4R just to have a physical ignition capability?

18.5 on A/T tires and dropped to 18.3 with new KO2's. Arizona highway speeds of 80-85 is probably what keeps my mileage so low.

I just purchased my 2012 with 125,000 miles on it, a week ago. I've been shopping for a couple of years now but the prices were crazy. I was able to negotiate a great deal with a dealer that was trying to make as many sales before the end of the year. It's in great shape and well maintained. I'm putting my 2011 BMW 328i Sedan up for sale. Going from a beemer to an FJ is definitely going from one end of the spectrum to the other, but I love it! It was well worth the wait.

putting EV tires on the 4runner will probably increase the fuel economy tremendously. they are low rolling resistance. Nice little narrow hard as a rock donuts. Mobil, while providing the feedstock for Toyota-brand motor oil, has only a fraction of the percent of the recommended- by-Toyota molydenum in their oil that Toyota specifies for Toyota 0w-20 oil. " Toyota Synthetic molybdenum is 787ppm. Not double or triple other leading brands but in general well over 10 times the amount." google it. Why? Moly is sticky, why? when a cold electronic box-controlled fuel injected motor is started, the fuel controls are off, and large amounts of gas are dumped down into the cylinders. Watch what happens in the car care nut video when you start and then stop a fuel injected car while still in cold fuel dump mode. More oil (really gas) in the oil pan; and maybe hydrolock from pistons now trying to move in now oil-less cylinder walls. moly, perhaps toyota believes, keeps some of the oil still sticking on engine parts instead of all being washed off by the fuel shower. I can't unilaterally decide by the advertising influencers to buy their products because they think they know more than Toyota engineers who have designed, built, evaluated for long term testing, and applied every engineering trick in the book to improve the fuel economy of the 5th gen (and previous gen) 4 runners FOR FOURTEEN YEARS on the 5th gen alone. I disagree only with the Toyota corporate playbook for keeping oil changes infrequent (and cheaper for Toyota) while the free oil changes are offered, every 10,000 miles. Even the Car Care Nut master Toyota mechanic has shown in a video the scuffing of the cylinder walls on a 4 banger Corolla at 150,000 miles due to oil breakdown and advocates 5,000 miles or six months. The master Nissan chief engineer for Nissan racing advises 2,000 mile oil change intervals for regular car engines in a you tube vid. I split the difference and did my first oil change at 3k miles, $100 at the dealer and the best protection I can offer that beautiful KING of all Toyota motors. But you can ignore that frequency and still see plenty of 500k mile odo pictures of never rebuilt engined FJ's and 4Runners on the bulletin boards; must be the lower stressed v6 vs the working-too-hard 4 bangers, and the moly. So I run my 2024 4Runner at 77mph, a brick of aerodynamic inefficiency in a days drive for 700 miles on the interstates; doan worry about fuel economy simply because that fixation has been placed in the minds of American drivers by influencers to make them feel guilty for putting gasoline in the tank and instead should drive a sparky. Pay no mind (the press stays silent) to the exponential hidden repair costs of the sparky and the extra 4 banger wear and tear that hit the owner AFTER the warranties run out. 5700 miles in the first nine weeks of my ownership of my 2024 4Ever 4runner. Can't drive it as much as I like, cause my wife LOVES to drive it!

Yep 👌!

Definitely a worthwhile addition. When I added mine, I used the Red Arc controller and mounted the switch in the center console. That way, my passenger could control the braking power if I needed to keep both hands on the wheel. I definitely like how you relocated the dongle plugs. Very slick, Paul! Thanks.

I’m currently shopping for another project for the channel, got to say these older Land Cruisers 🤌🏻😉

Sweet brother. Looks gorgeous

Clean!

Hopefully Santa left it in your driveway 😊

This is fantastic. Love the content of this channel…….merry Christmas.

I would be there in a heartbeat.

If you keep a lot of tongue weight you don’t need trailer brakes. My RAV4 had no problem stopping a loaded Uhaul trailer. Modern car brake systems are way oversized compared to a large truck or bus.

I have a 2024 4Runner and I installed the REDARC this past summer and it works great. Easy install easy and reliable to use.

Well done !!

Super clean install... I like that way better than my last install with the Tekosha. Does it have a manual activation button? The only thing missing from the video is a discount code! LOL!

Happy Christmas to Vikings Garage and all the channel supporters

Yay

The CD player stopped working first week after buying my 2015 l😢😮😢

Just got a 08 FJ cruiser and undercarriage is quite rusted. A lot worse than yours. Im just gonna do air blast and rust proof service, do what you did when winter ends. I dont think its easy to find non rusted 08 fj cruisers in toronto weather. Thanks for the video
