My 2006 HG started to fail about two years ago with approximately 140k miles on the odometer. It has a November 2015 build date.

Not sure what I did wrong, but it looks like my info did not make the list. I posted it here in this thread on 5/4/2015.

Sorry to hear. Did you report this to Toyota? I reported my failed head gasket last year, and they claimed they had not heard of any issues. They created a case number for me in case there is any customer service campaign in the future. I've heard nothing from Toyota since I reported the...

I have decided to view the extended warranty decision on a comprehensive basis, and I decided not to buy them. The last four vehicles that I have bought probably would've cost me $4,000 to $6,000 for extended warranties. Of those four vehicles, I do not believe I would have made a single...

If you read my post, you will see in my first sentence that I specifically turned on the Nav in order to receive traffic updates. I knew exactly where I was going. I have been there many times, and I know several different routes to get there. Voice recognition is still hit or miss? Really...

Stop on the Schuylkill Expressway to mess with the POS nav system? No thanks. How about providing technology that is equal to a 1st gen iPhone? Simple. I paid for a Nav system with voice recognition technology. How about Toyota pays me a refund? Simple.

So I'm driving to the Wells Fargo Center in Philly and decide to use the Nav just in case there are any traffic warnings. I spent at least 10 minutes trying to get Entune's voice recognition to understand the words "Wells Fargo". I didn't know the street adress off the top of my head - other...

It's been almost a year since I have had my head gaskets replaced. At that time, I called Toyota, reported my problem, and mentioned that it was becoming a more common problem with other owners. Toyota told me it was news to them - they had never heard of these 1GR-FE head gasket issues...

Is it possible that the noise could be from the chain of the spare tire holder? My wife mentioned to me that she thought she heard some sort of noise every once in a while, especially when the windows were down and she was turning onto a side road near our house that has a bit of a dip to...

Thanks for making me look like an azz:bravo: That's a great website you have there. There are two kinds of people in this world. The type who sit on their couch and whine about a crappy cargo net, and the type who grab the bull by the horns and modify the net to be as good as it gets. I'll...

Well, this isn't the first OEM cargo net I've had in vehicles. Each of the other nets, including the Toyota net in my '06 4Runner, were designed to stretch taut across the back and act at least partially as a barrier. With the addition of 10 cents worth of cord, this new net would, too. They...

Thanks. I'll probably buy a length of stretch cord and weave it through the bottom of the net and try and attach it to the bottom anchor clips. My old net has the bottom stretch cord sewn or glued into heavy-duty nylon webbing type material at the corners, and so the hardest part will be...

So I ordered an envelope cargo net from the Toyota parts T4R forum site sponsor to fit the 2015 4Runner. I have the envelope cargo net in my '06 4Runner, and in addition to the stretch cords on the top of the net, it has a stretch cord woven through the bottom of the net that attaches to the...

Ohcrymore, I sent a PM to you a few days ago regarding the roof rack. Thanks.

The factory bumper-to-bumper warranty covers the first three years or 36K; and so you actually paid $1350 for four years of additional coverage, which works out to $337 per year. Admittedly, the calculation could change depending upon how many miles you drive per year. Also, I am not sure how...
