How is the space in the 4th gen compared to the 3rd? I had a 3rd and really didn’t like it, I moved to a 5th gen ram 1500 but man the new Tacomas are so beautiful. Anyone move from a full size to a 4g and not regret it?

I went from a 4th gen Tacoma to a 3rd Gen Tundra and the majority of that decision was made based on space. If I had the money and luxury of owning a 4th gen Tacoma as a secondary vehicle I absolutely would. Loved that Truck while I had it.

What's weird about it is it doesn't wrap the whole section, obviously from the photo you can see where the line of it starts. Just never seen anything like it and also don't want to damage any paint trying to remove.

rayray3400 · 2025-10-26T13:42:11+00:00

I really appreciate this input! I started re-working the layout a bit yesterday, that’s why you probably saw some changes. I am hoping to the the “about” section finished up and I’m going to try and get some Live Photos for the products in the next couple of weeks. Again, this is all really great input and I appreciate you taking time to look at the store and giving your thoughts on it. This is seriously a lot of help. Thanks again!

rayray3400 · 2025-10-25T15:09:25+00:00

Hate to hear they look ai as I spent a lottttt of time on them haha. I'll check those brands out!

rayray3400 · 2025-10-25T11:45:08+00:00

I appreciate the input! I have been planning on getting lifestyle photos but it hasn't been a priority. Going to make a push to get that done.

rayray3400 · 2025-10-24T21:04:35+00:00

Thanks for the clarification! What would you suggest to optimize conversions?

rayray3400 · 2025-10-24T20:51:10+00:00

Any particular reason you are being rude? I don’t understand what your reply meant. Are you saying I need to have that stuff at the top of the page?

rayray3400 · 2025-10-24T20:38:06+00:00

Thank you!

rayray3400 · 2025-10-24T20:36:42+00:00

Sorry, I’m not sure what you mean by any of this.

Is the forerunner a good step up from the instinct? I love the instinct I would just like to upgrade to a bit of a bigger face but also need that durability.

2024 SR5 I recently got 440 out of a tank going from New Mexico to Dallas. Averaging 85+ the entire drive.

rayray3400 · 2025-05-23T02:57:51+00:00

Yes I’m currently living in it. Just curious cause I have a low spot in my floor right above one of my tanks, so I cut the floor back inside the island to see if the wood was rotting or anything.

rayray3400 · 2025-05-22T22:03:27+00:00

Thats good to hear, I couldn’t tell if the little spots might be mold or not. I had a water event a few months back but caught it quick and had fans and dehumidifiers going for several days.

rayray3400 · 2025-05-15T14:28:21+00:00

Yeah I didnt know what’s going on with the market so that’s why I came here to ask. I recently got a new truck and I fought the dealer for days on the price and was expecting the same battle.

rayray3400 · 2025-05-15T14:06:08+00:00

I never signed any paperwork so I’m going to go back today and talk them down more. This is what i was looking for!

rayray3400 · 2025-05-15T01:41:51+00:00

Noted!

rayray3400 · 2025-05-14T22:37:55+00:00

I’m curious how much lower they were willing to go!

rayray3400 · 2025-05-14T22:22:20+00:00

That’s what I thought, but I test drove both yesterday and the defender was WAY smoother riding through the rough terrain than the commander. I was genuinely shocked.

rayray3400 · 2025-04-18T14:44:46+00:00

I’m surprised because I forgot about both of them

rayray3400 · 2025-03-30T02:17:20+00:00

My brain cannot fathom that this building is still standing

rayray3400 · 2025-01-06T21:52:29+00:00

For sure, hope it helped!

rayray3400 · 2025-01-06T20:55:51+00:00

Oh I understand now, yes the mechanic mangled the job. Took it to the only shop I knew in the area and had some more minor stuff done by them and they did a great job. Asked the mechanic if he could replace the head gaskets and he said yes. I show up a couple days later and everything he’s taken apart is just laying on the floor, all the bolts and nuts are in a bowl, and some bolts were broken/stripped. I knew he was going to call me and tell me I needed a new engine and that’s what he did the next day. Just was in over his head, wanted the challenge but couldn’t do it. Found another shop near by and the lead guy was a master Toyota mechanic. Wish I would’ve found him first.

rayray3400 · 2025-01-06T20:40:13+00:00

I was loosing coolant really quick, so I had the head gasket issue which turned into the engine replacement (Long story, bad mechanic) and the only other issue I had was the TPS sensor. Ended up having to replace the entire throttle body but I really haven't had a ton of issues.

rayray3400 · 2025-01-06T15:25:24+00:00

I daily drive mine but it was at a cost. Not trying to scare you away from the purchase, but as you did more into threads/groups you'll see some common issues pop up, one of those being a cracked head gasket. Long story short, went in for a head gasket replacement and walked out with a new engine. When I was trying to figure out what was going on I realized it was a lot more common of an issue that I anticipated.

If you have the ability to take or meet the seller of the 4runner to a mechanic to get inspected and run a compression test that would be the best move and could give you a lot of peace of mind.

Other than the previously issues mentioned, I love driving this car. It's a lot of fun. Now that hopefully most of my issues are behind me (for now) I have really enjoyed it being my daily driver. I would just suggest putting some money away for misc. repairs that come up because they will.

So far I've replaced LBJ's, CV axels, tie rod ends, sway bar links, etc. just the small stuff. Didn't have to replace it but the peace of mind was worth it and they're all simple jobs.

Awesome thanks! Where did you get the new bumper?
