Not sure what to tell you, but as someone who knows quite a bit about Japanese culture (my wife is Japanese, and we regularly travel to Japan) the one thing I will say is that government mandates or not, the Japanese are all about efficiency, and environmental concerns are a hot button in Japan...

I agree that a canister is a better design than a cartridge from an ease of installation & service point of view, but that doesn't mean the cartridge is a bad design; when serviced properly, it performs about as well as a canister and is far less wasteful. Look, I don't like the government...

How much did that system cost, if you don't mind me asking?

That's badass, man. Very professional looking install.

Well said.

What kind of upgrades does the TRD Pro come with? Still not sure about the bumper design of the '14 and up 4R, but that color is kind of cool.

Ouch. Nothing that can't be fixed, but that's the thing with cars - mistakes don't come cheap. That being said, I've never seen something like this happen before. More than likely, you've got a brake caliper that is seizing/dragging a little (perhaps made worse by staying wet overnight?). I'd...

This clears things up a lot - thanks for all the help guys, I really appreciate it!

Gotcha. Thanks again for the help!

Ah, thanks for clarifying. So, the only things in the glovebox that need to be disconnected are light, power socket, and audio jack? I thought I read somewhere that the security system cable is in there as well, which is why the instructions call for disconnecting the battery before the...

Once you got everything out, did you actually disconnect the wiring harnesses for the airbag, security system, etc., or did you just move them aside? I read something above about those systems needing to be reinitialized afterwards (I assume by a dealer with Toyota software?), so I was a little...

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately, after getting everything pulled out, I quickly realized how few places could even be patched with dynomat, due to the abundance of awkwardly shaped plastic pieces. At this point, I'm at a loss for what to do...

I know this thread has been dead for a long time now, but I am very interested in getting behind the glove box as well because after installing my TRD intake, I've got a very loud resonance/vibration/rattle behind the glovebox/dash area whenever the car nears redline. I figure it's probably a...

That thing looks mean! Good build, man.
