    3rd Party Tech Assistance Toronto Area

    I hear you thank you. I know what you mean - replacing pins, wire looms / pig tails are regular in my industry ( large scale generating equipment outdoors that suffer the same type of rodent risk ). But I think they have liability concerns in terms of what success rate they may have either...

    3rd Party Tech Assistance Toronto Area

    No they seemed to have traced the issue to the harness connection at the drivers footwell because TBM voltage in the engine bay is non existent so its being fed off that broken pin or possibly whatever else is corroded in there, I saw the connectors they didn't look really bad but the technician...

    3rd Party Tech Assistance Toronto Area

    Desperate situation has occurred with our 2017 TRD OR. Looking for advice from any Toronto Area owners who are aware of a technician / shop willing to repair a main harness connection (Interior, male and female ends by the driver side kick cover). Couple pins broken, there is some obvious...

    Milestone?

    Bad. That ECO display has been lying to you for over 66K now. Time to disable it [emoji1362]

    Can Portable Jump Starter Be Used for Push Button Start?

    The risk is present on any vehicle regardless of ignition switch type. The culprit being the human factor and incorrectly utilizing jumper cables, connecting them wrong or incorrectly in sequence etc. These NOCO Lithium units eliminate that problem because they sense polarity. So maybe best...

    How many hours of labor to install rock sliders?

    I had mine shipped to my local off road shop from Greenlane. 3hr charge for me (KDSS specific sliders), that included putting the vehicle on and off the hoist… Unpacking everything etc. I watched, something I could’ve done myself too I’m certain but I live in a condo complex. So yeah I think...

    Rough Shift/Lurch from Park to Drive

    If it’s still on higher idle try turning the wheel a little before shifting which puts torque on the engine from the power steering and drops rpm somewhat. In the winter (sub zero temps) turn the fan speed control off prior to shifting it may also scrub off a couple hundred rpm that way. If...

    Autel mx-sensor tpms help!

    2017 as well, Only thing I can add is when I went to purchase snow tires and have them installed to a new set of OEM rims I bought I asked them about cloning sensors. They told me that they couldn’t do it. System wasn’t capable? I was intending to purchase their aftermarket TPS units anyway...

    Audio Upgrade?

    My installer set me up with Focal for my doors. Direct fitment. Huge improvement over the quarter sized OEM magnets of course. Aftermarket deck went in a couple weeks later as it was on order but hearing those with the factory stereo was a tremendous improvement. I had already replaced the...

    Greenlane off-road aluminum sliders

    Yes the vehicle has KDSS. When you order them you specify that so these are custom for specifics related to same. Likely the lines and actuator location or whatever it’s called on the drivers side. We had no issues mounting everything lined up as it should perfectly. No bending / relocation of...

    Greenlane off-road aluminum sliders

    I’ve found as much under my size 12 shoes getting in as the plastic OEMs had, plus the coating is anti slip. More at rear of course. Maybe don’t look at the angled option then I suppose if they are flat out there’s a tad more for surface area? Email them I’m sure you’ll get the specifics...

    ECGS Bushing long term reliability

    Never heard that the needle bearing has ever failed. Coming apart is failure I’d say. They just groan away for sometimes no reason ( my case ) or due to advanced CV shaft angle after lifting. My dealer never heard it of course (twice) so my mechanic buddy tapped in the one from Nitro Gear...

    Front Diff Grinding/Groaning Cyclical Noise

    Presumably the replacement diffs Toyota has been doing just carry replacement warranty like any other part. One year I’d venture to guess. But I don’t think it can be verified whether or not these new components carry an updated needle bearing. Most have said, unlikely. You’d have to be within...

    Halogen vs LED lights - Snow/Ice build up

    I replaced my low beams shortly after buying the truck with the Diode Dynamics SL1’s. So 5 years ago. Through winters they don’t warm up the lens enough to melt ice buildup. Every so often if I get a warm day I’ll put another quick coat of polish on there which helps keep off the ice / snow...
