You’re very welcome!! 😉

That’s freaking awesome!! You got it!! 👍🏻 Welcome to the channel!!

Hey, what year and model is yours

Do that trim and the limited comes with automatic start?

What yr and model do you have?

What Trim Package do you have. Mine is a ORP I dont think that works for mine.

Thank you for your kind words!! 🤘🏻

You got it!! Thank you for watching!!

🙏🏻 Thank you!! 😉

🙏🏻 You got it. Thank you for your support!!

Interesting, thank you for sharing.

Very cool idea, I used to have a scangauge 2 . Will look into it. 😉 Thank you for your continuous support!

Welcome aboard! Thank you!🙏

That’s awesome!! 👍🏻

Right on!! This is one solid truck.

I appreciate you! welcome to the Channel!!

Your very welcome Sir!! 🙏🏻

😉

Thank you for sharing the tip, I have covered it in other videos : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pdV8eN2b1bjOiGg.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b5qAmqd6t8q1XWw.html

Is that still an issue on the 2023 version?

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.

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.

Very good advice indeed, I’ll never buy anything else other then a Toyota.

You got it!!

Your very welcome!! Thank you for watching!

🤫 I thought I was the only one who saw that. Keep that in mind, just finished shooting a video in which that hook plays a crucial role. (Very good eyes 👍🏻)

@@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.

I’m a step ahead of you, I’ve covered it. And yes if not addressed it will cause a frame rust issue. Link below, skip to minute 6:06 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/odV5pdiV2s-WZ5s.html 😉

@@VikingsGarage Outstanding VG!!! Thanks a lot!!! 👍👍

You got it, I’m happy to help. I do appreciate your support. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!

Very cool!! Never even thought of that. 👍🏻

It’s that wild, I love it!!

Good feature to have also. 😅

I have a 2017 Limited and tried pressing lock button 3 times but nothing 😔

@@claudiacanales2662 interesting. 🤔 I wonder if previous owner added something aftermarket?!?

💯 aftermarket for sure

Your very welcome!!

You’re very welcome!!

Your parents clearly love you very much!! Congratulations!! 👊🏻

You can totally install that sliding rear cargo tray. Thank you for your support!!

I’m sorry, I don’t understand your question???

You can totally add it afterwards. Bolts right up.

I got you Walt, check out the video I made on it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hJOHncpj3NiUimg.html Very easy to do, I know you can do it. Good luck!! Welcome to the Channel.

I did know that, covered in episode 2. No offense but at about 6 to 10 4Runners a week for 12 years there’s very little I don’t know. But I do appreciate you watching and pointing that out. I appreciate your support!!

Lol, I totally get it!

Thank you!!

That’s sweet, didn’t even think of that. Thank you Sir.I will be giving it a try. Welcome to the Channel!!

Not anymore, it’s totally safe. It’s designed to do that. 😉

You can shift into manual mode especially on the highway if you are climbing a hill and need that 4th gear.

It will not , I should have specified that is the limited and TRD Pro only.

Hard to tell , but double check with your dealership. If it is indeed equipped with a remote start.

I did use the pedal commander for almost 2 months , took it off. I was experiencing unwanted acceleration, scary stuff. Been told there are better products out there. Look a little deeper into it.

Thank you, that’s not correct. You can remove the “ECO LIGHT “ in the menu option, the bar always stays on. 😉

@@VikingsGarage must have heard you wrong the first time. Haha. Watched it again and yes your right. 👍🏼

No worries, my English is not that great 😊 . I’m here to help. Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel!!

Very nice, remote start makes things so easy in the winter. I’m going to install one soon. I appreciate you watching!!

Im always happy to help. Do, yeah the USB update done at the dealership not only does it help but, yes it is completely different from the WI-FI one .

@@VikingsGarage excellent yes I will definitely have it done. Thank you sir!

For our (new to us 2021), I was able to download the radio update from the Toyota website and do it myself. The Nav baseman update requires a visit to the dealer though. :-(

I appreciate your kind words! You simply can’t, it’s done that way do you don’t drain your battery. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@@VikingsGarage I know the Toyota original design not allow that. I have connected the battery to external charge maintainer. I believe without turn to Accessory mode this will further reduce the battery drainage. Please share if you have simple dashboard wiring modification to make this happen. Thanks.

No modification here.

Comes stock that way factory installed, on the Trail special edition only, that plate it’s where the cooler strap goes into to strap it in place . I’m pretty sure it comes together with the tray 🤷🏼‍♂️

I have a 2013 trail,, on my tray there was little plastic tabs, pull those out, there is a hole it goes all the way through, i pull little bolt in tie downs in there. it wont hold anything super heavy, but it works for my cooler so i can slide the tray out without unhooking it.

Pretty cool!!

Awesome!! Congrats on the new ride!

I’m taking delivery of one on Wednesday that was posted as having third row seats but the salesperson and I looked and figured it was a mistake. Excited to look again!

👍🏻

That’s a great question, I honestly do not know. Maybe someone out there knows. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@@VikingsGarage Thanks for the quick hit back though👍

I know what you mean. 😅

A bit steep, usually 1 hour labor. Takes 1 hour to upload.

2015 located in the rust belt. New Jersey I appreciate you!!

Thank you for the support! Our boat is 4,000 lbs with the trailer. Your totally safe up to 5,000 lbs. I’ve got customer towing even more then that constantly without skipping a beat.

@@VikingsGarage Thank you Viking! Certainly feels better to hear that coming from a professional. I guess I will have to do the Trans filter change as you instructed in your other video 😅 Thanks man, great binge worthy content!

🤘🏻🙏🏻

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 totally agree about showing those anchors. That’s very important feature. A lot of people don’t know about the seatbelts and why they lock up the way they do. As crazy as it sounds. Love your posts.

I appreciate that!! Thank you 🙏🏻

That is correct. 😅

That’s not entirely true, you can add it. It just becomes a bit expensive to do so

@@VikingsGarage Thanks. I'm a mechanic and can do it. I got the impression I couldn't even buy it. Appreciate your help.

@T18skyguy you got this!! 💪🏻

Thank you so much 🤗 A lot of the times the software update fixes a lot of issues. If the camera still goes black, take the rear hatch panel off and check the connection to the camera. Reported cases of the wiring having no slack, causing the harness to pull itself unplug. Thank you for your support 🗡️❤️

Found out after making the video, that only TRD PRO and Limited trims have it. Sorry bud!!

Yes, it’s usually 1/2 hour charge. It literally takes an hour to upload.

Both epic machines!! Thank you for watching

Honestly to my knowledge, you can only do it manually with the key outside in the doors key cylinder. 🤷🏼‍♂️

if you do exactly like I do in the video and it doesn’t start, chances are it’s not equipped. As far as I know, it only comes in the Limited or TRD PRO. Not entirely sure .

Reach out to them, they do have a technical assistance line.

If you ask me, having that 3rd row is a waste. Not functional at all.

🤷🏼‍♂️ No idea.

There’s always a way.

That’s freaking awesome!! 🎉

Thank you for sharing, will look into it.

Must be the premium model to have it. Usually TRD pro/limited

👍🏻

This is true!!

It’s sliding, so you can access the third row, I figured most people would put 2 and 2 together. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@@VikingsGarage I thought so too 🤷🏻. In one of the 4Runner forums there was someone complaining of absolutely 0 foot room for 3rd row seats. He wasn’t aware that entire 2nd row was able to slide forward.

Yeah, it’s hard to please everyone

Yeah, same here my premium 2022 TRD off-road doesn’t have it. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Sorry buddy, I honestly only found out 3 months ago. I do appreciate you watching!!

Thank you!! Just search “4runner overlays” you should find many sources that sell them. I this helps.

@@VikingsGarage I’m sorry I meant to say the one that says Trials

The Trail badge… I’ll have to look into it. It was a while back I got it.

For the very last time the Loaded Premium

Excelente point! Thank you for sharing!

That and it stops the obnoxious slow gear hunting around town…

Make sure when you got to the dealer that: - your truck came with it - it’s turned on in the settings

Has in under the vehicle, if so I’ve made a video on it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b5qAmqd6t8q1XWw.html I’ve actually just done that same job again, before this winter.

@@VikingsGarage i just bought a 22 4runner.. and i live in New Hampshire… should I apply fluid film now or next year… this is my second 4r and other one I started doing around 60k miles… bought it with 17k miles

As soon as possible, yes like now.

Already cover that on part 1 . 😉 But I appreciate you sharing.

I just looked it up on toyota forums, and it said the remote start was "Just the Pro and Limited. It's integrated with the JBL system." In the video, you said "premium" 🤔

Yes, that was the impression I was under. I was wrong.

Well, we cant be perfect ;-)@@VikingsGarage

🤘🏻

It’s for lack of a better comparison , like a phone’s software update. It addresses previously know bugs and issues. If your radio is not acting up I would leave it alone.

👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you, S2000 are great!! 😜

No, no. With the help of a viewer it’s safe to say it only comes on the trail special edition. My confusion was with a Venture model that has had the tray installed afterwards. Thank you for watching!

No the venture was given the mega warrior roof rack & predator steps in place of the cooler ..the sliding tray i believe is a add on but you pay for it...

Gotcha!!

@@DJ-ep2dc I didnt get steps either. Blacked out badging trd wheels leather seats roof rack trd stitching on head rest.

@@traviscade3186 thats wierd when i got mine the webaite had the steps & yakima roof rack as standard option

You better check, you might have it. Same exact way to do it. (Hold it for at least 3 Mississippis on the 3rd one) 😉

I’m not sure I do. 🤔

The round button release is for two row seat models, the square is for the third row models.

Now I do, thank you for sharing.

Sweet! Thank you for sharing this!!

I’m lost, what?

I drive like an old lady. Easy into the throttle. Aloha!!

Has to be a premium package, believe me I wish my 2015 did too. Will be installing it for the small fee of $150. Thank you for watching and sharing your story!!

@@VikingsGarage did not know i can install that feature. Thanks for the tip. And your welcome.

I like that idea,nice!!

I’ve cover all of that already, you’re missing out by not subscribing. Covered it in the video below : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mNamn8WS1NW-e2g.html

@@VikingsGarage replied with my statement above because you said in your video that the venture comes with a cooler. it does not. I have a Venture! have started watching some of your videos but most do not pertain to me due to me having the Venture.

I cover a lot of useful 4runner information. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Very smart, I like that idea. Thank you for sharing!!
