Overfilled oil change 6.73L

Hey all,

I overfilled my engine oil by being dumb and rushing before this storm hit out of nowhere during my oil change.

I poured 6.73L by accident with the new oil filter install.

Should I head over to harbor freight to buy an oil pump extractor or just let things be? I could also remove the oil filter and emptying it that way.

This is for my 5th gen 2022 trd off road 4Runner.

Edit: I believe I just needed 6.2 L

Lexland seat covers

I have a 6th gen SR5 with cloth seats… I wanted leather but needed the 3rd town and didn’t want to pay an extra 20k for the limited …. Has anyone used the le land seat covers ? They seem to be the most recommended for 4Runner ? If you like feel free to share pictures ! I’m a little skeptical of seat covers looking ill fitting or looking obvious it’s seat covers

Broke both bolts on passenger side transmission crossmember support bracket. Good to drive?

EDIT FOR CLARITY: The broken bolts are on the crossmember CORNER BRACKET, not the crossmember itself. The transmission mounts are untouched and the crossmember is still secured laterally. Only the corner bracket on the passenger side is free.

Original post:
I broke both bolts on passenger transmission support brackets while trying to install new skid plates. I cant get this up onto a hoist to drill out for a week or so. Would this be okay to drive on for light duty grocery getting for the time being? Cross member is still fully intact.

Trailer Towing

Looking for advice.

My boyfriend and I are moving across country, from Massachusetts to Seattle. We were thinking of driving and attaching a trailer to my 4Runner. I have a 2019 4Runner. We are planing on downsizing a lot so we’re aren’t moving many things, but I’m still worried about the weight of the trailer.

I’ve read to keep it around ~3,000 lb but I’m still worried that is too much considering we are driving 3,000+ miles.

Any advice? Dropping down even further means we are now getting ride of almost everything.

Prove me wrong

I am here to support everyone’s dream build, but the limited (specifically the 5th gen, though I also think the 6th is atrocious) is the fugliest 4Runner on the market IMO. 98% of the 4Runners I drive by are limiteds with that heinous chrome bar.

If you’re a limited owner, please post your builds here. I’m really trying to accept them, but it feels like a face only a mother could love.

Has anyone asked a dealer to swap aftermarket parts?

After owning my 2025 SR5 for about a 8 months, I’m realizing I miss some creature comforts. I always owned top trims but decided to change things up and go with the SR5. I do the occasional off roading so I did an OME lift and added new wheels and tires (33s). Also added some under body skid protection.

I have been thinking lately about how I would trade in my 4runner for a TRD off roading premium, but only under one condition.

The dealer would need to swap my suspension/wheels and tires over to the new 4runner. Has anyone ever tried that? I was thinking about how I would be willing to pay a little extra to make it happen. Crazy idea or is this doable? I’m definitely not getting rid of my SR5 after the money I have already put into it.

230,000 miles bone stock 2010 SR5.

Just rolled over to 230,000 miles. Only mechanical issues have been a new alternator at about 210,000. Other than that just basic maintenance and she runs like the day I bought her.

Limited Drivers, What is your mileage like? (2023 Limited)

I know full time 4wd gets lower gas mileage. I'm getting terrible mileage. What is going on and what kind of mileage are you getting? I fill up every 2 or 3 days after work.

I only have 300 miles until empty. After filling up the tank, I just got under 130 at half a tank. I drive normally and conservatively. Never drive aggressively. This recent reading is from all highway driving with the AC on at night.

2019 4Runner ORP with 165k miles on it 5th Gen. Second opinion on the timing cover

I know that the leaking timing cover on the 4.0 V6 is a common issue and that most people will wait until the oil starts the drip on the ground and then repair it. I asked my specialist about this and he said there’s no leaks yet.
I just want to get a second opinion from you guys/gals.
Is the leaking timing cover always going to happen regardless or you can prevent by doing regular (5k or earlier oil changes)?

Finally joined the club!

New to me 2022 TRD ORP. As a previous FJ and 4th gen Prado owner, I had always wanted to own a 4Runner and I couldn’t be happier to have pulled the trigger.

Currently struggling to decide whether to leave it as it is or mod it 😄

Replacing Trim Color question

Hi friends,

I have a 2017 Toyota 4runner TRD OFF ROAD, and all of the decals are gray, i would like to swap them out for black. I would like all of the trim to be black, but I have never modified a car and I would like some advice. Are there covers for the decal and the TRD decal or do I have to replace them?

5100s and 285s

Gotta say I’m super pleased with the 5100s. Install was incredibly easy. Had 285/70/17 wildpeaks installed afterwards. Definite improvement over the stock shocks. If you’re on the fence, definitely go for it. I’m set at 1.75 front with .75 cornfed spacer. Might upgrade to a 1” spring in the back eventually but I like the stance I achieved. We’ll see how it does when I get a chance to get it off the pavement.
