Tire pressure
Okay, what is the PSI for a stock 4Runner w/16"? I was under the impression it was around 35 psi, don't ask me why. But as I moved my truck because of NYC friggin' alternate side of the street park regulations, I notice the tires are a little low. I look on the side of the tire and it says 51psi!
Tell me I haven't been running my ride 20 psi too low.
If I have been, then wait until I watch my gas milage skyrocket!

The tire pressure is located on the VIN sticker inside the driver's door on the door jam and also in the back of your owner's manual. The factory pressure for the 16" tires is 32 front/rear. The pressure on the sidewall is the maximum the tire can take before potential damage. Go with the pressure from Toyota unless you're running non-stock tire sizes.

Ditto what rwmorrisonjr said.
If I recall, the door jamb sticker on my 2000 w/16" tires says something like 32/30 or 30/28, front/rear. But I typically run all 4 between 32 and 34 psi. Any higher and the ride starts becoming a bit too harsh.
