Get your battery tested by a reputable shop with the proper equipment. Failing batteries will do all kinds of crazy things. I had a 2006 Jeep Liberty which, when the battery started to fail, would light up every indicator on the dash, the speedometer and tach would bounce back and forth between...

Another good option is to install a Helicoil to repair the old threads. It requires an oversize tap to cut new threads and installation of the coil insert which can be tricky to do, but it creates a thread that is stronger than the OEM one, continually repairable, and you end up with the...

Does it look like this? Because this is normal and PREVENTS attacks from happening on the website...

The SafetyHub can handle 350 continuous amps with 4awg wire (which I'm using). If my compressor tries to pull more than that we have bigger problems. It also uses replaceable AMI fuses, so the compressor will be limited to 40 amps in the same fashion that the OEM harness would have provided...

The SafetyHub just allows things like lights and other accessories to be added in the future without continuously tapping the battery. It also allows for easy change over if I add a second battery someday, which I may do along with a solar charger. I don't have to rewire any of my accessories, I...

Trying to do a relatively simple ARB CKMA12 install under the hood and just want the switch located next to the compressor, not in the cab. I'm using a Blue Sea Systems SafetyHub 150 to allow for other future mods. I'm a little Type-A when it comes to this stuff and I'm not the greatest with...

If that is a metric indicator, your total indicated runout is around .1mm or less than .005". I don't know what factory spec is but I wouldn't let them touch my vehicle over this issue. Get the brakes done and continue to happily drive your vehicle.

I don't know if it is a problem with 4Runners or not, but I know that a dying battery used to cause some crazy behavior in my old Jeep Liberty. The doors would randomly lock and unlock, lights would turn on and off and dash lights would illuminate randomly. It felt like something out of the...

No pic...

I'm curious whether or not there is a general consensus on the quality of Ironman FCP suspension. I have NOT read this entire thread but all of my research seems to indicate that they are well made and reliable for the vast majority of users. The recall is concerning but it sounds like they are...

That is essentially how mine started. It would either not lock or not unlock unless I hit one then the other. Then it got to where it would take several attempts (which is wrecking your other actuators, by the way) then finally it quit altogether. I purchased the actuators and then, like an...

My wife and I just got a Hybrid Highlander to replace her old, tired N/A Mini Cooper and all I can say is MY GOD I hope they put an adequately similar drivetrain in the 4Runner. Its no race car but it puts the 5th Gen to absolute shame. Maybe they're finally going to include a factory...

The single most useful "Broken Bolt Extraction" video I have ever seen. I use this method on everything I can now and it is 10 for 10 so far. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJfkCj3FWBs

I need to check this on mine. I have almost exactly those same issues since I bought my 2015 4Runner used in 2020 and the Dealership cannot figure it out.

I'm using Husky's right now which are OK, but don't fit super well and arrived kind of warped along the edges. They have never laid out flat. They are Made in the USA which is a big deal to me. Where are these Lasfit ones made? I'd like to try them out. I have 3 dogs (20lb, 40lb and 60lb) and we...
