    Best thing about the rear cargo space is if you remove those trays in the back you gain a ton of storage space. I keep a 25 foot kinetic tow rope in the compartment on the left side. The lids/ trays snap back into place as well. Just remove (or break off) the two screws that hold the little trays in there.

    I'm glad I can offer a very important tip in return for all that you have shared in all 5 videos. I believe the only weakness in the 4Runner's armor is the steel frame, I did notice in this video you have a bit of rust already, there is hope. What I did with my 2017 was clean off as much as possible {wire brush and blow-off} everything that could rust and apply CRC Marine Heavy Duty Corrosion Inhibitor { kind of like what Cosmoline does for a gun} , it took about 4-5 spray cans. It's several years later and it's still looking great, it was probably my most important upgrade!

    • @VikingsGarage
      @VikingsGarage  Před rokem

      Thank you for sharing the tip,

    • @carnivoregoddess6470

      Is that still an issue on the 2023 version?

    • @dingznthingz
      @dingznthingz Před rokem +2

      Clean the frame thoroughly with a pressure washer. Let the frame completely dry for a few days. You can still drive it as long as the roads are dry and no mud. Touch up the frame with Rust Oleum Rust Oleum Rust Inhibiting spray paint. About $6.00 per can. Wait three to four years and repeat the process. Yeah, you read that right. Repeat every three to four years. It lasts that long! I own and operate a paintless dent repair business. I see 20 year old Toyotas with zero Rust on the painted sheet metal. The frames will have surface rust. I offer to touch up the frames for my customers. Most agree to have it done. The bumpers on Toyotas do not fair as well as the painted sheet metal. Aftermarket bumpers are cheap and easy to replace. Rusted body panels are expensive to fix and have no guarantee they'll stay that way. The red headed Viking in these videos has almost 167,000 miles on his 4Runner and the body still looks brand new. For less than $50.00, the undercarriage can also look brand new. The 4Runner in the video also has New Jersey plates on it. If New Jersey is anything like Northwest Illinois, the D.O.T. salts the hell out of the roads during the winter months. That says alot about Toyotas considering they are exposed to this damn road salt and they do not rust out like a Big Three truck or SUV does. I just had a four year old GMC Yukon Denali in my shop that has serious rust bubbling around the rear wheel arches. That Yukon Denali cost the owner $88,000 new! Toyotas don't break and they don't rust out within four years. It's another reason why I stopped buying from the Big Three.

    • @dingznthingz
      @dingznthingz Před rokem +2

      Try Fluid Film in a spray can. I buy it by the gallon but I see it's now offered in a spray bomb. It's easier to find than the CRC product and cheaper in price.

    @morpheus1818 Před rokem +5

    Excellent video as usual! One thing I noticed on my 4R is that I had 3 tow hooks (2 in the front and one in the rear). But since the cat back exhaust makes a 90 degree turn behind the right rear wheel (rather than going straight out the back on a standard exhaust) I was able to add a 4th tow hook in the rear.

    • @VikingsGarage
      @VikingsGarage  Před rokem +1

      @@VikingsGarage Thanks VG. Also something else to think about....I have a 2020 4Runner TRD Pro. I noticed that the air-conditioner drain tube drips water onto the frame. My concern is that it may eventually lead to a rust problem. Could you please address this in one of your future 4Runner videos, and maybe recommend a possible fix to reroute the water drip away from the frame and onto the ground? It might be a good issue to address by video. Just an idea...thanks.

    • @VikingsGarage

    Did you know that.... The blank insert (1:25 in your video) to the left of fan speed control and at 4 o'clock of your wheel was the original spot for a "Party Mode" button? 5th Gen 4Runners from 2010 - 2013 had a Party Mode selector which allows you to shift all of the stereo output to the liftgate speakers. Turn on Party Mode, Lift up the hatch and you had the ultimate mullet 4Runner - Business in the front, party in the rear!

    Manual mode also helps keeps the trans cooler because your torq converter stays locked longer. I dont use normal D "overdrive" around town because it causes the trans to consistently shift gears.

    You were so close when you were talking about the anchors for the child seat. But I’ve seen your other four and I’ve never heard you mention the locking seatbelts when you pull the seatbelt all the way out. Critical for child car seats. Did I miss it somewhere?

    • @VikingsGarage
      @VikingsGarage  Před rokem +1

      Every seat belt will lock eventually when pulled all the way out. Not a feature, that’s how they’re designed. But yes when installing a child car seat, the seat belt should be installed in the back of it as well.
      I showed the anchors on the video because I’ve had people come in with the car seats. Not anchored there. 😱

    I've been told I can do it manually with the key, or maybe with the accessory keypad. I am not willing to fool with a key on a 50k truck. LOL But no one seems to know for sure. If I look at used how far back do I need to go to get a good old-fashioned key, with remote door locks ?
