I agree it's dumb that it doesn't tell you which tire it is, but it still alerts you to address the issue. This is completely off topic, but back when I was considering replacing the head unit that's why I was interested in iDatalink Maestro. In addition to integrating the steering wheel...

Why would you want to disable it? Just so the light wouldn't be on when you're aired down? I'd rather have the safety of knowing if a tire is low while daily driving vs. not dealing with the light during the rare circumstance I'm aired down. The TPMS light has alerted to me to nails in my tires...

Like just randomly blinking when your just driving along in 2H, or blinking when you try to use it?

And knowing the power is up top, the most egregious offense to towing is the transmission. I live at 5000ft elevation so any climbing will be above and beyond that. I used my 4Runner to tow many times and on flat highway it's fine, but the gearing is terrible. 2nd gear basically goes all the way...

That's what I told him... head gasket. But is that really a "new engine" kinda deal? Couldn't you just replaced the head gasket and worst case a head if it's warped? Also it's a slow leak so it's still driveable, but the main issue is since it caused the catalytic converter to fail he would...

My boss has a 2003 V6 Sport, and he's at a crossroads on what to do. He commutes between the Reno and the Bay Area 4 or 5 times a month, so it has 348,000 miles and he recently took it too a mechanic to diagnose a CEL. He was told that the CEL was for the catalytic converter going out and...

What did you think of Saline Valley? I'm assuming you went that way to get to the abandoned hot springs resort. I've been to DV the past two years and have my trip planned for late March this year, and driving through Saline Valley is something I will never do again. This last year I took my...

It was Oroville Toyota. https://www.orovilletoyota.com/

It probably depends on where you live. On the west coast I've rarely seen them for MSRP and usually they're priced at a premium. My buddy spent months looking for a Tacoma TRDP (not the same car I know) and all over CA/NV dealers wanted at least $5k over MSRP. He finally found one at a Toyota...

I was about to say the same thing. I went with plastidip for the reason that it's removeable if you don't like it, but it's also easy to reapply if you scrape it when wheeling. On the front I also wanted to cover up the license plate holes, so I filled them with body filler and sanded everything...

Well next time you fill up reset both the dash readout and your trip odo, then the tank after that you'll know for sure! But it's kinda one of those things where you want to remain blissfully ignorant, even though you know it might be true.

So are you saying they sent you the adapter for the 2010-2013 head unit, or that there's two different types for the 2014+ entune head units?

I have to disagree. If you reset it when you fill up it's pretty accurate. For the sake of testing I reset it as well as calculated my MPG for a few tanks and it was usually spot on or within .1 MPG. To the OP, 13mpg doesn't sound right, even with city driving. The only time I get less than...

I used MTS a few times just to try it out, but from then on I would just press the ATRAC button instead. I never really experienced a need for it when just wheeling along, but would typically use it when the rear was locked and one of the front wheels was in the air and I needed it to act as a...

Interesting. I don't have my 5th gen anymore so I'd only be looking to get shipping + a little $ to make it worth my time. I've done a bit more research and it sounds like the rear suspension will bolt up to 3rd gen, although that guy was saying something about installing the shocks from a TRDP...
