Winter is coming so what's the official definitive fix for this temperature sensitive tick? Is it the wiper tubes, the cowling, the clips, the windshield? Is there a TSA? Anyone with 100% certainty?

Found this on the back of the rear view mirror. What is this?

This sounds promising... Will give it a try and hopefully confirm it. Thanks for posting.

2015 TRDpro here and also having a click coming from the passenger dash below the windshield- i think. It only occurs over bumps or whenever the body is slightly torqued like taking a quick left to right at 20mph. Anyone else notice this on their Pro?

bingo!

I just noticed my 4r is starting up on the first crank like almost instantaneously. It has happened a few times so far. Is there a potential problem?

I hear a rattle at around 30-40 mph and also at highway speeds. Sounds like its coming from the driver side. It's apparent on throttle and coasting. The only culprit I can think of is the Plastic Mud Guards up in the wheel well? They seem very loose and make a noise when I tap on it. Should...

That's a steal! There's currently someone selling a 2002 in NC for $12k with over 217k miles and an accident history. He offered me $9500 in which I told him i could do better with one with lower mileage and a clean car fax. However, i find that most $15k and under LC's have been in an...

I use to have a 98 4runner so I think it's probably just as slow if not slower. I drove it over 200k miles and miss it. I just like the look of the 80 series. Hard to find a 95-97 with lockers though. Also, weary of the head gasket issue. However, the 100 is growing on me.

My wife will never be happy with any car. She prefers expensive jewelry! wtf.... and f my life. I couldn't justify getting the X5 repaired for $7500 plus. I'd rather pay for a new 80 Series Head gasket and peace of mind that it will run for many more years and retain somewhat of a resale...

Dalko, Thank you for your reply. You are right about many points. I'm not willing to spend a little bit more $ because the German Engineered X5, built somewhere in the US, also needed valve seals replaced which would cost between $7500-$9k. So I sold the beamer to an unsuspecting soccer mom...

Update: Did not purchase due to the engines checks.

Found a LC and offer accepted. 2004 140k for 14k. Here are my concerns: 3 previous owners. First owner 4 years and one "engine checked". Second owner registered as police vehicle 4 years and one "engine checked". Third owner selling after 1.5 years-No carfax history since owning. The...

Ic. Thanks.

Correct me if I'm wrong. If he accepted a cashiers check wouldn't that be taxable?
