Good video. Of course I just ordered 14 qts of WS… Maybe I'll change six quarts and save the rest for my mom's RAV4.

I recently installed an AX4000 from TGP. I had to reformat the USB drive to one of the FAT formats, don't remember which one. The Sony docs don't tell you the formats they support. So check that first. Phone: HU + cable #1 --> doesn't work HU + cable #2 --> works Seems like a cable issue to...

Sony AX4000 notes I installed my Sony AX4000 package from Trail Grid Pro and wanted to pass along a couple of things. 2012 Limited with JBL and Nav. Aside from some minor glitches the install was successful, though at one point I decided the package was ‘plug and pray.’ TGP responded the same...

I have a 2012 Limited w/ JBL and navigation. I'm waiting on delivery of a Sony AX4000 bundle from Trail Grid Pro. Wireless Carplay, wireless/wired Android Auto. It's supposedly plug and play and uses the stock amp.

Keep in mind the airbags in the A pillar and side airbags under the headliner (if equipped). Blindly jamming wires into these areas could result in airbag failure or one of your wires hitting your face at 100+ MPH if the bag inflates. I hardwired both front and read cameras and carefully and...

I don't see why not, it just means pulling off the hub assembly again. The biggest issue I faced was getting the sway bar link off of the steering knuckle (rust!!!!). While you're replacing the bearing/hub I would see if it the link nut will come off; if not, then you could have a reciprocating...

The seal is installed from the inner side of the steering knuckle, so you have to remove the knuckle from the axle to replace the seal. Tap out the old seal from the outside (yellow arrow), then use the grease cap that covers the axle nut to help you tap in the new seal from the inside.

When I removed the steering knuckle I found this slightly mangled spring here (yellow arrow). The spring in the dust shield in the steering knuckle was still in place, and the hub kit I bought from NAPA had the dust shield (with spring) as well as another spring like the one by the yellow arrow...

Slow speed clunk started recently. I had it aligned but thought it was due to a bad front sway link that I damaged during a front hub/bearing replacement at the same time. Checked the cam bolts today-- three of the lower bolts were torqued to less than 60 lb ft so I torqued them properly. Clunk...

Try posting in the General forum, or one of the site-related forums, or click the report icon (red triangle, lower left in a post) and report yourself.

I bolted mine to an L bracket that I slid under the headliner. I positioned it right of center so it lines up with the highest point the wiper reaches on the rear window. I can easily remove it if it's in the way when I load something.

After having the lift gate repainted to fix some rust around the garnish, I put some clear 3M film under the garnish and under the door sills. The plastic now rubs on the film, not the paint.

Same as my 2012. Window up/down using unlock button may need to be programmed.

The plastic piece with the P-R-N-D: on either side, nearest the floor, are two black clips with an upside-down U shape. Look about an inch to the rear of the S-D letters on the side for one of them. The can be released (all four of them) and the piece pulls straight up. Ditto with the clear...

It all depends on how much plastic dip you intend to apply ;):
