I'm with Sac State, just swap the cladding out. As far as the gadgets go, "Best Buy" has a ton of 'em for you.

With regards to the headlamps, has anyone tested out John Deere or any other industrial bulbs in the 4th Gen? I'll bet you can get better lighting and save yourself some bucks on the replacement of the current bulbs compared to swapping to the projectors. But hell, I don't even know what bulb goes in my 4th Gen. If it's a 9005, then it can be swapped for a JD industrial bulb that produces more lumens.

Just a thought. Cheers,

i think its 9004...?

 

it's not the current Runner flares they should have changed, but the new Tacoma flares. they're looking a little too close the Colorado.

 

My beef is how come it took 3 years for them to figure out that a $40K vehicle should have memory seats!!!

 

you bought it w/out 'em, right?

 

Anybody got more pictures of the 06? These from Edumunds don't look like they have round fender wells.

That's just a stock photo from 2003. They probably haven't distuibuted all the new press stuff
Wonder what the new tv commercials will look like? Maybe more comical and rugged like the Taco ones? Those are very highly popular spots

 

time to trade up!!!!

 

Actually look on www.Toyotausa.com They have new pictures of the 2006 model.

 

Wow, huge improvement! They fixed almost everything that I didn't like! Sweet! I like the more rounded flares way better too.

Are they doing away with the DRLs now? Or have they been gone for the past few years now?

I might have to get one of these in a few years. Still hard to beat a 3rd gen though. But, it is a big improvement.

Rock on Toyota! Just bring us a Diesel! :drool:

Does the US '06 version have the L.E.D. tails?

 

"Integrated front fog lamps and multi-reflector taillamps"

Taken directly from toyotausa.com. Not sure if that means L.E.D. or regular bulbs though.

 

My local dealer has the new '06 4Runner,and wow does it ever look amazing! Looks more of a truck now! I love it!

 

ew

but the others look nice!

i like the new tails.

 

That one is ugly, the one at my dealership is so sexy!

 

I looked at some this weekend... but still wasn't impressed.

It still looks too tame and boring.

They should have copied more of the rugged look from the tacoma.

Looks like th 05 met an late-model 3rd gen... I dunno...

 

I think they do have L.E.D. bulbs in the tails. In that one picture that JasonB linked too, it appears that there are 12 large L.E.D.s per side.

New upgrades are soooo much better! Still think the top of the grill sticks out too far, but what a huge improvement!
