Traded in my 2012 off road for 4Runner

Been awhile since posted here. I traded in my 2012 off road tacoma, for a 2014 4runner sr5. I loved my truck, but love lifted 4 runners a little more. So thought I would thank everyone here who helped me build up my tacoma. Great info on this site. So here are pictures of my trade and new ride. Also it would be sweet if the tacoma came with some off the features the 14 4Runner sr5 does. Touch screen dash back up camera, atrac and more refined but not elegant cabin. Especially the roll down rear window and heated mirrors!! Lol. Wish you all the best!
Also the 4 runner has driveshaft vibe at 20-25 mph just like my tacoma after I lifted it. 4R has 2" spacer in rear anyone happen to know if there is a carrier bearing drop for that? Would be helpful good luck to you all !!

 

Plenty of 4runner guys on here. Nice ride but i would've gone with a trail....
Hope it serves you well!

 

I know man those trails are awesome believe it or not I had looked at them but while I was at dealer it slipped my mind. Heard it was pretty hard to get one in MS though. I do regret it though. I also regret the dealer putting spacer lift on it. Gotta get extended shocks they are topping out over slight bumps in the rear. Gonna order them Monday

 

Its alright the SR5 is still more capable than our tacos....and yeah....spacer lifts aren't the greatest, i'm sure you'll make it work with better shocks. Best of luck, love that thing in white!

 

I like that white rav4, that thing is cute.

 

Thanks for the complements. It the rave 4 cut lol that hurt dude haha jk if it looks like a rav4 I'm gonna have to sell it already lol

 

I like it.

I've been waiting for a Super White 4Runner with the redwood interior to show up on a lot. I'm interested but, wanna make sure it's exactly what I want.

 

For sure take good test drive some people love the seats others don't

 

I'm just jelly, those are so sweet. I like the front end, hope the new Tacoma looks as good as the 4 runner.

 

The interior on those is so nice , wish the taco had the same . Enjoy it bud !

 

What makes the SR5 4 runner more capable than the tacoma?

 

Congrats on the new toyota!
I just traded in my 2003 4runner for the tacoma.

 

Thanks guys, honestly part of me still misses the taco lol. Unfortunately I still have driveline vibes just like the taco. And it's amplified since the lift. Anyone got any ideas on this? I can't find a carrier bearing drop for the 5th gen 4Runner on any website.

 

I don't believe there is a carrier bearing on the newer runners, I know for sure there is not one on my 04. The drive lines are shorter than a taco and it is not needed.

Nice runner though!

 

Thanks I was beginning to wonder that but could not find definite answer. Found only one person on t4r.org that had these issues. He put adjustable rear upper links on his, and said it solved it. From what I can tell that's another $300 god it's exspensive to play lol

 

Nice 4Runner - I'm looking for a Trail Premium - impossible to find. Congrats!

A-TRAC as far as SR5's are concerned.

 

Hmmm, that seems like an odd solution, I kinda doubt that would have any effect on the driveline, but if it worked . . .

Have you taken it back to the dealer?

 

Best of luck... but still looks like a Mitsubitchi.

 

Congrats!
I always loved the 4runner. I use my truck a lot for work in construction. 30,000 miles in just over a year, and the bed and back seat gets beat up a bit. I'll probably get a new 4runner in a few years or so when the truck gets older. I'll keep the truck though.

 

Yeah I took it back and the main tech said that's common just like the tacoma? I said I knew about tacoma's cause mine did it. I also told him I've looked at a lot of lifted 4Runners online that never had the issue. His response was when they lifted theirs they prolly put bigger tires on it, and that hides it? Don't quite know if he fed me a line or what oh well I guess.
