So I ended up just buying a replacement window and replacing the rear glass myself. It was just easier for me to do it than to go around in circles with shops that didn’t want to mess with a modded vehicle (even though the mods installed have nothing to do with the operation of the rear...

Rear window is busted on my 5th Gen. Safelite came to replace the glass today and said they could not complete the repair because a part is broken. The part in question is a white plastic clip that attaches to the passenger side rear defrost wiring harness via 3 zip ties. I have searched...

Thanks FKheath - it's worth a try.

Anybody have any recommendations for greasable front and rear sway bar endlinks? Mine are squeaky AF. Looks like Moog makes front and rear, and NAPA makes front ones. Any others that you all are aware of? Since I'm replaceing these I want to go with greasable ones, preferably heavy duty and...

@humbleleader - I may end up taking it in to the dealer if I can't identify the location or fix it myself. No problems with the rear glass or anything else so far. osugsxr - thanks for the info. This will be helpful when I dig into fixing this. I'm going to pull the interior rear hatch...

@HumbleLeader - yep, I'd love to be able to take it in for warranty work but I'm outside of the 3 year warranty period. 5yr/60k applies to powertrain only as I understand it.

Thanks meltdown. I found a rear camera relocation install video online yesterday from C4 Fab. In that video it looks like the bolts that attach the rear garnish from the inside of the rear hatch are the same type as the bolts that I fished out of my rear hatch, but are 10mm instead of the 13mm...

Hi all - posting here to see if anyone else has experienced this odd issue... 2019 TRD Offroad About 6 months after purchasing it new, I heard something rattling around inside the rear hatch when I opened it. I pulled the plastic cap/internal-hand grab-thing off of the inside bottom of the...

I know this isn't T4R related, but thought I'd throw this out to the community anyway since most folks here are like minded in their love for all things Toyota 4x4. I'm searching for a roll bar for my project 1990 v6 reg cab Toyota pickup. I'd prefer somewhere within a few hour drive of the...

Thanks everyone for the info. Victory 4x4 thanks for the post. I've looked at your stuff in the past and don't know how I missed you guys so far during this search. I like the modular design and your lead times are much better than others for sure. I'll be in touch if I'm ready to proceed...

That's been my experience with other fabbed parts (and even some manufactured parts) for my 4Runner, Mr. Blah. I was thinking 6-8 weeks based on experience with other stuff like my sliders, rack, etc. Lead time quotes double that caught me off guard. Not complaining about the lead time -...

Looking for a rear bumper with spare tire and accessory carrier on dual swingout, or just a single swingout with tire carrier. I like the LFD, Expedition One, and Proline but lead times are as long as 14 weeks on these. I'd prefer to get the bumper on when I do wheels and tires (upsizing to...

Thanks Xtremluck. I have never disassembled the winch and lubed the planetary gears as it is brand new. It was just installed and this was the first time I have used it in a recovery application. Prior to that it was just used to test operation and spool the line. I *could* pull the hybrid...

Hi all, My new Smittybilt X20 winch won't free spool. The clutch lever won't rotate forward into the "disengaged" position. I used it the other day for recovery and it initially worked just fine - the clutch lever rotated to the disengaged position, we were able to successfully free spool out...

Thanks, everyone, for the responses. This board is great! So the short of it, as I understand it, is "Just set the spring perches so that the truck is level, and don't worry about it, because it doesn't change the spring rate and will feel the same". Appreciate the clarity!
