    Toyota issues "fix" for axle wrap / driveshaft clunky-thumpy

    All done. Free. Nice price. As far as it causing damage or not.....the fact that a TSB was issued makes me think there might be more than just an annoying sound. I do not recall Toyota ever admitting to any issues out of the kindness of their hearts. I hope it "sticks" and I am not sad I...

    Toyota issues "fix" for axle wrap / driveshaft clunky-thumpy

    Mine will. It goes in tomorrow night for the fix on Monday. I hope it is "permanent".

    Toyota issues "fix" for axle wrap / driveshaft clunky-thumpy

    Thanks. Like I said, this is my first automatic and it does a bunch of stuff that I cannot say is "normal" or not for an auto. The impression I got from the dealer (before I found this TSB) was that this was "normal". The truck also feels like the trans slips when I first start and drive...

    Toyota issues "fix" for axle wrap / driveshaft clunky-thumpy

    I took my 4Runner in with this issue a month ago and the dealer never heard of it....then said it was normal. I even described the "like someone just hit me" feeling. I just found this TSB here on T4R and it reads like it is quoting my complaint. This place rocks! I called today, TSB in...

    Worst Problem with 5th gen??

    Mine does this. I thought the guy behind me hit me....then I noticed there was nobody behind me. My dealer cannot even recreate it but it happens all the time in that moment between moving from brake to throttle. I am not convinced that it is not creating a future problem though.

    Recommended Lift Kit

    Concur. Ran OME's on my 3rd gen and they were great. East Coast salt beat them up but it was cosmetic only. In Sunny Fla, you should be fine. Have a setup from Sonoran Steel on my current ride. Liking it very much but it is still early days for my 5th Gen experience.

    Camburg UCA's

    I have these and they are quite nice. I have a set on my FJ that are a few years old now and a new set with the fancy new cover on my T4R. I made my own cap for the pair on the FJ from computer table plug. It fit perfectly. I used some black RTV to seal it and it has been fine.

    Installed Magnaflow muffler....don't like it

    My FJ came with one of those already installed. It rotted off after one east coast winter. I went back to a stock system and I have no complaints. I'd spend my money on a lift, tires, rack, lights, sliders, bumpers, pretty much anything before an aftermarket exhaust. Back in my carbureted...

    Where are the radio antenna's on these trucks?

    leaking in the console?

    I'd agree with the clogged/frozen drains. Best bet is to keep the snow off the roof. The sunroof is designed to pass water through the "seal" and down the drains. If the drains freeze closed, there is no where for the water to go. If you open the roof, you probably have a nice trough of...

    Weathertech Side window Deflectors?

    Thanks. Did not even think to order direct! I did find them on Amazon for 112 shipped.
