Why did you buy your 4Runner? For me, it was the fact that I didn't really need a 'truck bed', but I wanted a lot of space in the back. I wanted something that was comfortable to drive, would hold its value, and had a reputation for being a reliable vehicle. I, honestly, wasn't the biggest fan...

I just made a post a week or two ago about prepping a Tacoma for a big game hunt, and now that we've actually completed the task, I thought I'd share a few tips with you guys. This is for a mid-sized truck, but I suppose these could be used for anyone. We started by lining the entire bottom of...

Hey guys! I'm Dawn from Alaska, just wanted to make a quick post here. Hoping to find other Toyota lovers from the northern most state of the US. I drive a 4Runner and my boyfriend has a Tacoma (probably two of the most popular Toyotas in Alaska aside from the Tundra). We live in Anchorage, but...

At the moment, I'm with State Farm, but I'm looking around. They've treated me well, but their rates are pretty high for me, for some reason. I've never had a traffic ticket, never been in an accident, and never given them a reason to give me a higher rate. I'd like to look around and see what...

Every winter, it never fails, a rock will fly up- smack into my windshield, and leave a huge crack. I know this is really common in Alaska, because the well below freezing weather contrasting with the heated inside of the vehicle makes the glass more fragile. It seems like everyone I know has...

I was having a big discussion about this the other day with a few of my friends. I, personally, would buy a vehicle with a reconstructed title, but most of my friends wouldn't. Before I put in too much of my input- I'd like to hear other's arguments first. What do you think- would you or...

What are your opinions on bumper stickers? My boyfriend hates em', but I gotta be honest: I'm a huge fan of them. I collect them and plaster them all over my 4Runner. My boyfriend thinks it's tacky and doesn't have so much as an air-freshener accenting his Tacoma. Maybe it's a gender-specific...

I've seen some obnoxiously high-off-the-ground Tacomas driving around Alaska. What's your personal opinion on lift kits? Is it possible to 'overdo it'? Personally I find really tall trucks to be obnoxious and a cry for attention. Maybe I don't see the allure in it and I'm missing something...

Alrighty Tacoma owners - I hope a few of you guys hunt. My boyfriend and I are headed out next weekend to go moose hunting here in Alaska. I've been moose hunting quite a few times- but always in a boat. This is my first time going in a truck. How can we prep our truck for the most efficient...

Following PaleoMama's thread- I'm curious, how do you repair your own scratches? I've seen a ton of techniques online, and I know it depends on the depth of the scratch what part of the car it's on/ the temperature outside/ the climate you're repairing in/ etc. But how have YOU repaired...

So I'm not sure if it's because of the crazy temperatures in Alaska or just some weird happening, but yesterday the car door seal on my passenger side came loose and fell off as I opened the door. I've heard this is pretty common in Alaska, because the cold weather affects the glue. What glue is...

What modifications have you made to your Toyota Tacoma? My boyfriend is looking for ideas (I guess he's bored and wants to spice up his truck a bit). Did you choose to do the Tacoma modifications yourself- or have them done professionally? If you can, please post pictures- as much as I'm...

My boyfriend and I were at a dealership the other day looking through used cars, and we came across a Toyota T100. I can't quite remember, but I think it was from 1994 or 1995. My boyfriend asked the dealer something about a part that should have been replaced after a recall, and the dealer said...

I have a friend who's doing custom work on their 4Runner and they're selling the front bumper, mirrors, and headlights. My boyfriend mentioned that it might be a good idea for me to invest in them- as they're typically the things that I'll lose and need repaired in small accidents. Having them...

I'm guessing at least a few folks on here trap- and with trapping season upon us for most of the United States I'm just curious how many people on here use their truck to ride their line? Did your trapping line have anything to do with your choice in the truck you chose? Do you off road with...

I've been searching around for mudguards for my 4runner, and I've found quite a few different suppliers- but I honestly want the best deal possible. I'm looking for an affordable set (sold in 4). Any recommendations would be welcome!

So random question, but my boyfriend has a 2014 Toyota Tacoma V6 (which I believe has a 3,500 lb towing capacity). We just bought a trailer that we were going to tow with it as we moved and we were going to fill it pretty ridiculously full (including putting things in the bed of the truck). My...

My boyfriend and I live in Alaska and recently took this amazing off-roading trip in a very beautiful part of central Alaska. It can be difficult to find places to ride in trucks, legally, here in AK, but the places that are available are definitely worth checking out. The place we found was...

My boyfriend and I recently purchased a dashboard mount for his Tacoma for our phone- so we could easily use it as a GPS. The one we purchased can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012H5VW34?ref_=cm_cr-mr-title Here's a review I wrote for the mount on Amazon. I was honestly...

The great thing about Toyota in general is that they typically hold their value very well, even after a few years of use. I purchased my 4Runner used, and the overall quality of the vehicle was still great. I felt like I got a good deal for it and it's worked well for me. I know a lot of people...
