Any idea about this noise?

Started today, happens when I’m coming to a stop and idling in drive AND when I roll my windows down 🤔 started after driving down a dirt road, thought maybe something was lodged because it stopped after hitting a bump but started again. Now it’s intermittent if it happens or not. Any ideas?

First real outing with our 09’ SR5!

Just wanted to share a couple videos off of my dash cam from the other day. My wife and I were up outside Allenspark, CO on Johnny Park Road. What started out as a pool day ended up with us pivoting plans and finally breaking in the 09 and man did we have an absolute great time! We’re still getting to know the truck more, it’s still all stock but man was I blown away by how easy it made some sections look. Can’t wait to keep exploring and learning! Happy Trails everyone!

PS disregard my laughing, I was just having an absolute great time getting out with my wife after some rough patches this summer!

4Hi or 4Lo?

Hello out there!! 👋

Quick question, my wife and I have been enjoying our new to us 09 V6 SR5 fully stock 4Runner for a little over a year now. Besides some Kumho All Weather tires, a little bit of brake work and routine fluids, I’ve done no other work on it. We’ve enjoyed some decent inclines and rock sections but no mud or real big rocks or boulders. I’ve only used 4Hi on our off road excursions thus far and same went for today’s adventure on Johnny Park Road near Hwy 7 near Allenspark, CO down to Hwy 36 and it did phenomenal! Besides a slip or two (poor line choice on my end) I didn’t feel like the truck struggled much at all. I’m sure a decent set of A/T tires would be a much better choice but not quite ready for new tires until we get a little bit closer to winter. Anyhow’s, I’ve been reading some mixed reviews on whether the type of trail I did today would have been better in 4Hi or 4Lo? Any insight is greatly appreciated!

Video is from after our adventure down Johnny Park Road!!
