That size spare should fit if you deflate though those tires look pretty chunky

I’ll take it - PM sent

If you have to go that far it’s probably too large of tire. You ca. go up to a 32” with no issues. What size are you trying to fit?

Exactly why a 5k LR3 is the move

IMO the T4R is far uglier than the LC. It’s a mashup of a Vehicross/1st Gen Durango/new Sequoia. Terrible styling

It looks like the new 4Runner is simply a reskinned (in the vein of Tacoma/Sequoia) Land Cruiser with a 2wd option. Nearly everything else is identical - wheelbase, dimensions, powertrains, etc. Get the economies of sharing a platform but there is massive overlap between the two with little...

Beautiful spec

First Rover was a 2004 D2 SE in buckingham blue, tan interior. Purchased from a small dealer in 2009 off ebay from the library of my college. A cherry soccer mom special, well kept with about 60k. Sank it to the axles the second day of owning it then proceeded to overbuilt it for the next few...

In my and other experience Dexcool tends to kill headgaskets on the RV8. I always immediately swapped to standard green coolant with no issues whatsoever

The built in mic has worked out fine for me with calls and voice to text so far. It’s nice to have wired and wireless as options. But I will take a little lag over having to hook up my phone every time. Think the biggest drawback is just the small size relative to modern units. Some fat...

Yes, email them with whatever logo you want. They’ll ask for your order # and the software version #. They’ll email you a file, which you save to a USB and plug into the unit. Takes 5 seconds to update. Remove USB and you’re all set. Please that mine turned out very OEM-looking.

Similar limitations you’d have with the standard aux cord. Volume on the knob and steering wheel work but next track, etc are on the screen. Flip from Aux to FM/AM and they’re all fully functioning again

One of the biggest convenience drawbacks of these vehicles is the outdated tech and infotainment. Particularly the Nav screens on the HSE LR3’s. Came across a solution for CarPlay/Android Auto on a Facebook group and finally pulled the trigger myself. All in its $150 or so and am pleased with...

Blue, Jesus hope you’re on the mend buddy. ERover, my first (son) was born last year. No clue if it’ll kill camping and trail riding or add to it in the medium/long term. We have a no travel ball policy - probably easier said than done now

Demuro reviewed the GX. Didn’t look like back seat had much room given the vehicles size. Kinda a bummer. To add the LC nor the trail model GX are available with 3rd row. Once the pending dealer markups settle down seems like a reasonably priced capable new 4x4 though
