My doors sound ok, could be better, but not worth the effort it would take to correct. My hood definitely flexes in the 65+mph range, I don't think any matting would correct it though. Only annoying thing I noticed about noise though was tonight: I was in a moderate to heavy downpour and I...

in definitely. Over time, the white will fade, crack or peel; not to mention that it is never "white" again after a month or two.

awesome idea for the wiper de-icer, I never thought whether that would be possible. As an unintentional experiment, I had too many drinks to drive home and my wife was pulling the car in the garage, but before she pulled in, I got out (with the key in my pocket) the car beeped 3 times and she...

Is it possible to stop the auto-off feature after remote start upon entry? It makes absolutely no sense that remote start shuts off upon opening the door when you can get out with the key, leave the engine running and go into your house, take a leak and get back in without it shutting off. If...

You win.... So much for my conspiracy theory.

That could be the case; however there is a video post on YouTube done by toyota itself which shows how you can reprogram the smart key's unlocking features by holding down all three buttons for five seconds. I was just presuming you could do more than just that mod via button combos. There are...

here is a link that outlines the customizable features in the 5gT4R, it includes the window and moonroof control option from the smart key: https://auth.toyotaownersonline.com/Owners/ownersmanualresult.do It's a shame they don't tell us how to customize the remote though.

I have 4000 miles on mine and am averaging about 18.5 a tank (as per the computer). I thought by 4k miles that it would be slightly improving, but this is the mileage that I have been getting all along with my best ever tank mileage at 19.3 and worst mileage at 17.6. The worst part is that I...

Those Nitto's look great - I had the same question about what the max size could be without rubbing and I bet no one knows because it is more of a trial and error issue. The following website helps show the various tires you can put on a 20" rim and shows their various dimensions (in inches)...

I didn't notice anything suggesting water, but good thought - stranger things have happened.

I agree with your thoughts on the headlights for sure. As far as the DRLs go however, I would have to disagree just based on my personal preference. I don't really care for the orange look - you think I can put a different bulb in there to make it match the headlight color? As far as the Audi...

I haven't had the chance to see the SR5, my dealer wasn't high volume enough to have a selection when I bought my limited back in December. I am sure you are right though - but the rear location where I would consider putting the lights in would be where the sensors would go on an SR5.

Anyone have a window that just decided to not roll up or down? Mine did after 2 weeks and dealer service said a "board" was out and had to be replaced. It is a no charge "warranty" repair, but annoying nonetheless.

I plan on putting them in the widest point possible in the "intake" area below the front bumper and for the back, in the molding area just below the top-flat surface of the bumper itself. I think, if you have a trail or sr5, the rear bumper you have varies slightly from mine. It's tough to...
