emmantik thank you! this clarifies exactly what I want to know

I've undoubtedly overlooked the answer and probably have unnecessarily confused the issue, but I'm looking for some help with the topic of keys for a 2014 TE. Are these keys (the simple OEM key with electronic lock/unlock) required to be in the ignition or nearby to electronically allow the...

looks good to me...not sure what you mean about the differential drop if the rear springs are higher though? are you implying you want to raise the front to level it out and are worried about that? when loaded down with gear, my rear springs aren't heavy enough to keep the height...it's all a...

on the rattle, I just installed plates yesterday, and I get a vibration at cold start when transmission is placed in reverse...I'm going to experiment with dropping the t-case plate and diagnose that as the issue, and if so, I'll add a short spacer when reinstalling...from what I read, its a...

There is a video on the Toyota website with a short demo of the procedure using a sedan as the vehicle, for those asking about how the access is performed. Had our done yesterday, and it appears that they didn't need to pull the HU, as I found no evidence of such (i'm running aftermarket with...

mine did that too, I had to replace and went aftermarket.

after years of avoidance of holders, I finally bought a ball magnet that attaches to the center console trim with a disc of adhesive tape...a thin metal wafer on the back of my phone and it mounts securely and neatly just under the AC registers...works well

yes, the width just means it hangs lower, and a 285/70 17 fits easily

nice job with this fab up man, nothing to feel embarrassed to show at all--as someone mentioned, it's good to see your approach and I like the ingenuity and honesty toward the functionality of your modifications I just missed out on crossing paths, we were in the Bay Area last week, but elected...

very cool writeup and photos! thanks for posting. any closeups of your added kickouts? I run straight sliders too, as I haven't encountered a situation where I've needed the kickout, but I can see from one of your photos where you probably used it. did you ever find it bumped you into...
