Hot garbage on iPad or iPhone. Login issues, especially on my iPhone, pages refresh in the middle of writing posts, need to resize every pic to large or smaller when uploading or it errors out, and the latest is you can’t save edits. The workaround is to make your edit, then hit the edit button...

I noticed today that my replacement screws on the liftgate switch cover are totally rusted. Will look to replace with stainless. At least the rubber didn’t turn to gum yet. The stainless screws I used on the light assemblies still look good.

The lamp assembly comes out with the two screws doesnt it? What does the bracket behind it look like? That tab is only on the left. Probably needed due to the backup camera opening. More pics in this thread. 5th Gen 4Runner Mods - Step-By-Step Rear Hatch Trim Removal

We use to regularly do a hill climb where there’s loose sand towards the top. Unless you’re really on low pressure ballons you need momentum and to be in the power band. Sand setting is pretty good to lessen the intrusion but electronic traction control tends to be a momentum killer. Diff...

As you can see from the pic, it’s a pretty simple setup and you should be able to fix it without replacing the whole assy. It does take a little time to remove and you should be careful, especially with the lock. Might want to get some of the clips before you start since you’re likely to break a...

You’re in Chicago? Consider taking it to the Car Care Nut.

I use CC a lot, but on a typical 400 mile drive I’ll cancel and reset it about 100 times. I also use sequential shift or “S-mode” anytime I’m in the mountains or hill country so I can slip it into 4th or lower before it bogs or whatever. Also to keep Grade Logic from downshifting prematurely on...

What looked like metallic buildup on the electrodes.

I felt the same about the torque, especially when I found one plug, not exactly loose, but a little too easy to remove. My plugs had what I want to call dendrites, forming on the electrodes so I ended up replacing early. .

If you’re having Zerk problems i feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but the Zerk ain’t one. It’s amazing how many tutorials are wrong. It took me years to finally realize I was using my grease gun wrong. I thought you just slammed the coupler onto the Zerk, pumped, and pulled it straight...

I feel for y’all if you’ve got the smog pumps. So did you use anti seize?

Took a pic of a replacement Toyota tensioner assembly that retails for $333. Looks exactly like the Litens for sale on Rock Auto for $100 but could be different bearings.

Just finished replacing my serpentine for the second time. Only 64,400 miles and 7-1/2 years. I used the same as my last one, Bando 7PK2150 that I bought on Amazon for $12. No belt stretch was detected. The belt still appeared in great shape so this was kind of a premature replacement. The...

Good thing the ears on the MAF are metal, I would use a dremel to cut a slot in the screw and hopefully use a flat blade. If that didn’t work I would grind off the head and take a vice grip to it. Careful of metal shavings.
