Oh good now this rack trend is going to get worse. It wasn’t enough to haul a shovel, high lift and gas cans to work every day. Now we can haul whatever random shit we have lying around to “look cool.”

Your taco has a weaker engine
Idk exact numbers but the 3.5 in your gen taco makes power up high and always felt slow and hesitant to accelerate to me compared to the 4.0 v6 in the older tacos/current 4runners

I'm buying an inreach mini 2 soon, it's saved a few people I know. I've heard bad things about all of the 'offroad' gps units like the garmin overlander, basically they are just a rip off.
Everyone that I know uses all trails, onx, gaia on a phone or a tablet. I believe you can pair them the garmin which is more accurate with faster gps ping times.
I don't know anyone with a rugged, I thought they were just rebranded beofuns with channels preprogramed
Yup, it's true. You have to ring the 3.5 out to get the power in it.
Those v8s we're great.My new 4Runner is slow as fuck. Feels so gutless
The last gen V8 feels much better.
Thinking about a supercharger for xmas, tough call between the 3 options (urd whipple, magnuson roots, procharger centri). I'm really strongly considering the procharger for a few reasons. The magnuson seems like it fades real fast and I mostly just want to be able to hold steady speed on long mountain passes while geared up.
I hear the URD whipple eats daily mpg like crazy and just don't need that when I only get 15mpg as it is. The procharger has no problems in 4low while on the trail, but I've never really needed any extra hp on the trail. We have a very long hill heading up north to flagstaff, that and just the general Colorado mountain passes

One of these will get you all the GPS accuracy you could need:

Just trying to justify a centrifugal procharger (ease of install/mpg) but linear boost over the URD whipple that isn't as rpm dependent, way worse mpg and much more difficult to install.
Boost hits around 2500 on the procharger, but anytime I step on the gas or in 4low I'm immediately at 2500 anyway.
I can probably get a minor deal on the procharger, just seems weird to have on a 4.0 4runner. I know of a couple long travel tacomas with the procharger though that are pretty wild
already on 33's and have 4.56 on order, might go 285/75r17 on my next set of tires
My main thing really is the long highway hill climbs SUCK when I'm loaded up and I head north often. I pretty much have to floor it all the way up, and if something slows me down then I can never get the speed back up. I've never felt that I needed the power offroad
