    Swapped out the stock Dunlops for Falken Wildpeak A/T3Ws. My wife commutes 50 miles each way to a 1300 acre construction site and I don’t trust the Dunlops when the weather starts getting bad.

    You’ll need the harness from Old Red. It’s plug and play minus one tap and inserting two pined wires into the harness at the back of the instrument cluster. Just make sure you get the right one for your vehicle and I believe it needs to be a TRD offroad or Trail only.

    I thought I read Old Red was working on it. Kinda lame for Toyota to ditch it.

    I don't know if anything has changed, but I think he said it doesn't work reliably (yet).

    Toyota probably figured it was redundant because the instrument cluster can display the same info and therefore cut costs by not including them anymore.

    Ironman 4x4 stage 4 Nitrogas 2.5" lift. Energy Suspension front bump stops. Apachee Offroad rear bump stop extensions. Took 12 hours but learned a ton and I'm very happy with how everything went together.

    Offroam & Peak Designs magnetic charger because it's awesome.

    Need alignment and install extended rear brake lines.

    Toyota dealership here in Centennial CO. I just stopped by and bought them.
    (Didn't order them in advance, since I assume they always have them in stock. If that's the case may be i should keep some in stock at my house)

    I received a couple of things I ordered from Amazon:

    An altimeter and barometer. The barometer is incidental (I live in eastern Washington up along the Cascade foothills-the prediction is "SNOW" for the next 2 months!). The altimeter is important so that I can tell if my breathing problems are from the altitude or my heart/lungs.

    Amazon.com : Sun Company AltiLINQ - Dashboard Altimeter and Barometer | Altimeter for Car and Truck | Reads Altitude from 0 to 15,000 Feet : Sport Altimeters : Sports & Outdoors

    And a behind-the-seat Molle rack for the 4Runner. Keeps things handy such as our digital camera, flashlight, knife, etc. First Aid still goes into the large First Aid kit in the back.

    Amazon.com: Molle Seat Back Organizer, Tactical Car Seat Organizer with Pouches, Tactical Molle Vehicle Organizers Panel Universal Fit Car Khaki : Automotive

    Liked it so much I got one for the wife's RAV4, which is an abomination behind the front seat!!

    Once I get the guts to trudge through the snow and brave 18-degree weather, I'll install them.

    Oh, I also bought some connectors and a length of threaded rod to extend my Hi-Lift mounts so that they will hold my traction mats on my rooftop carrier.

    These are the Hi-Lift Mounts (maybe not these exact ones) I bought.

    Amazon.com: BATONECO High Lift Jack Tube Mount 1"-2.5" (Round/Square), Adjustable High Lift Jack Mounting System Universal Fit for Roof Rack,Front Bumper,Spare Tire, Roll Cage : Automotive

    Then some connectors from Lowe's:

    Hillman 0.375-in x 16 Zinc-plated Steel Regular Coupling Nut (2-Count) in the Coupling Nuts department at Lowes.com


    And some threaded rod (might not be the exact size-I took a mount with me to fit it):

    Hillman 3/8-in dia x 3-ft L Coarse Steel Threaded Rod in the Threaded Rods department at Lowes.com

    Better than paying up to $150 for a set on Amazon! Since I already had the clamps!

    Installed labops dash mount plate, took few minutes to remove the headunit to plugin. Didn't use the included usb socket mount due to wanting usb-c, took little longer to install due to having to run dedicated power over rather tapping the cig lighter cable.

    Towed with the 4runner for the first time ever. Just a short trip to the county dump with a big 4wheeled uhaul trailer. She did great! Wouldn't want to pull a trailer that heavy very long. Good times!

    Alignment done. Just need to install the extended rear brake lines. Yes, I do plan on upsizing the tires.

    I’m getting a new bumper from Demello and I decided to pull the old one early. Not sure if that would fit in the same spot, this was what they recommended and normally install along with their bumpers.

    Original Panasonic battery was starting to go. Listen to the radio for more than 20 minutes and she has trouble turning over. With the weather about the be regularly before freezing, I don't want to take a chance it won't start.

    I went with Toyota's 24F. When I had my Tacoma, OEM was the best option so I stuck with that.
