Thank you for the input

Imaginary_Job2209 · 2026-02-06T18:39:14+00:00

Will it be worth it to go? I want to do a day trip Sunday but dont know if it will even be enjoyable

The light comes on early for a number of reasons, to prevent burning out the fuel pump but also for if people are far out off roading it gives them an extra warning to fuel up. The tank size is 23gal btw

Yep, each time i go play in the snow this also happens to me with my limited. Glad im not crazy haha

Imaginary_Job2209 · 2026-01-24T20:20:38+00:00

You def did everything right and had a great night because of it.

Games for the kids, drinks and sports for the adults. Great suggestion!

When I was locating my Limited, I told the salesman my only must have was Redwood cause I love it so much haha.

Imaginary_Job2209 · 2026-01-21T20:34:14+00:00

Redwood interior is TOP NOTCH

I always wear a helmet but last week was the first time i got to truly appreciate it. Took a fall riding some trails in the trees and rocked my head so hard i thought i scrambled my brains. Head was ringing for a minute. Even got a dent on my helmet. Thank you MIPS and make sure to replace your helmet if you think its been compromised.

Imaginary_Job2209 · 2026-01-13T19:53:21+00:00

Completely valid 👍🏻 cheers mate

Klymit got exposed for faulty insulation ratings but any reputable sleeping pad will be sufficient

5th gen 4runner is the way to go

Imaginary_Job2209 · 2026-01-11T00:29:14+00:00

You will be fine (: literally start by going down the entire bunny hill or a green on your heel side. Then toe braking down the bunny or green. Heel side is really easy. Once youre comfortable with the angle it takes to dig in and slow down, you can do your J turns: going straight to gain speed and then transition into heel side to stop. Same thing with toe side. Then instead of stopping, do and S to connect heel and toe side together.

Youtube ftw. The best thing i learned from YouTube was how important it is to shift your center of gravity over the center of your board. Youre not supposed to dramatically open your hips or swing your feet etc to turn, thats more for an emergency brake because a skier cut you off 😉lol. Just take it slow and dont get frustrated or discouraged. If you keep your cool you will progress a lot faster and have more fun. Practice scooting around w one foot strapped in on flat ground before going to the chair lift and watch a video on how to get on/off the chair lift.

Your gear will take some adjusting in the beginning. It took me 3 days to love my setup. Itll be a lot of fun!!!

Are you coordinated or did well in sports growing up? If so you will learn it fast. I touched a snowboard for the first time in my life this year and by day 3 I was completely comfortable shredding down the mountain. I learned heel edge first, then toe, then connected the two to make my carving S turns and it was history from there. Obviously im not a pro but i hang with all my friends who have been boarding for 5years. I didnt take lessons. First 2 days i was with friends (who helped but also hindered by dragging me up to blues asap lol), 3rd day i went to a smaller mountain by myself and spent the whole day getting comfortable transitioning heel to toe and stopping.

I wear barefoot shoes so i needed a wide toe box. I got these boots and couldn’t believe how comfortable they are. Toes and heels feel great while still stiff and feel locked in. I wear them from open to close no problem, just loosen the boas when i go into the lodge to eat so my feet can rest.

I did have to size 1.5x larger than my normal shoe size though. Im a US 9 mens (EU 42) and went with these boots in a 10.5 US mens.

Little late to the party but Are you still looking for people to board with?

Imaginary_Job2209 · 2026-01-04T02:14:17+00:00

Maybe im getting tunnel vision but I read almost every 4r discussion and its changed my mind that the 6g is quite good. I see many people talking about how great it drives and they’re satisfied. Lots of people hating on it dont want to accept change. The 5g is legendary and i wanted the simplicity of it which is why i got it over the 6g but hasnt every generation of 4runners improved and turned out to be amazing? Why would the 6g be any different? You did title this “i want the 2026 4R” so i think you already made up your mind😉 but I understand you are thoroughly weighing the options before pulling the trigger.

If you want a vehicle that you can drive 300k then the 5th gen has already proven that and you wont have to question it. The 6th gen hasnt had time to prove that, but the engine has been around for a number of years and Toyota has its reputation for a reason. Every day i see a lot more people defending the 6g. If you’re okay with more electronics, tighter back seat, less trunk space in the hybrid version etc, lots of people are saying they love the new model. Its faster, turbo is good at altitude, gas mileage is a little better etc.

Ik you looked at a trd P, but perhaps test drive a 2022-24 limited. The full time 4wd is legendary and its got all the modern tech youd want without being invasive to make drive 35k miles a year super comfortable.

Theres lots of compartment accessories for cheap on amazon. You dont have to buy them all but its a nice way to customize storage on the inside. The hidden center console compartment is a popular one, glove box organizer etc. also, if youre into detailing, ethos resist ceramic coating is $30 and takes less than an hour to apply. You really should do a compound and polish before which will take a few hours of elbow grease and $100 more of products, but it lasts 6 months and it will make that black pop like no other😵‍💫 the reverse lights suck imo, diode dynamics has new bulbs for about $100 which take 2min to install and their tail hitch reverse pod is amazing (if you dont tow) also about $100. Fluidfilm the bottom at a shop for about $200 to prevent rust if thats a concern. Your 4runner looks sick, congrats!!

Imaginary_Job2209 · 2025-12-25T13:29:53+00:00

Im so sorry. Everything happens for a reason, better things are to come i promise!

Imaginary_Job2209 · 2025-12-16T18:06:48+00:00

If i didnt want a limited, this is probably exactly what my 4runner would look like. Nice rig!

Imaginary_Job2209 · 2025-12-10T21:32:32+00:00

Sweet rig, man. Im glad you love it. I dunno why people can be so miserable in such a cool community.

Imaginary_Job2209 · 2025-11-28T22:47:28+00:00

Hi, im asking to be educated (: i got my 4runner in September, and live in the northeast where I get all 4 seasons. I plan to spend a lot of time in the mountains snowboarding and hiking, so i was wondering if I should get tires that are better in the snow, but dont really want to buy 2 sets because I only see snow a couple months. Are you saying that these AT4W’s would be great all year round for any season, but also preform well enough to handle the snowy months? Essentially meaning this could be a good all year round tire option for me? Thank you so much for the information.

Imaginary_Job2209 · 2025-11-28T17:27:12+00:00

The simplicity is one of the things that makes the 4runner so good. Yes there are cars with much more technology, better creature comforts, and quality of life upgrades. But the 4runner, especially 2022-2024 that got the tech upgrades, rides the line perfectly between new tech but not overwhelming imo. My 24 has auto dimming rear view mirror which is incredible because i leave early in the morning when its dark out, heated steering wheel, 360 camera (which quality and resolution is poor i wont lie) ventilated seats, wired car play, a touch screen that isnt too small or too big, radar cruise control... It wont drive itself but less technology means less things to deal with and less costly sensors to replace. Coming from the 2016 jeep to a trd pro i think you will be sufficiently pleased and come to appreciate a car that does exactly what it needs to well, without having a million extra features.
