When I change the climate control from defrost to face or face to defrost or any combination of selection, the selection is not completely made. It tries to change but it is kinda stuck at defrost or some combination of defrost/feet. So I think the control panel is working but the mechanical...

I got these for $600 and I almost feel like I stole them. I still have tread left on my stock wheels so I haven't put them on yet. Should I expect and rubbing on the front or rear?

I'm going to buy a set of 2019 4Runner TRD Off-Road Premium today with 75 miles on P265/70R17 Dunlop AT20 Grandtrek. Wish me luck.

Happy Customer I installed my SlyFox bypass last night. 15 minutes. Stopped the screaming shop vac sound. I'm so happy. For anyone else considering this or wondering if they have the same problem, My car engine "made the awful noise" whenever it was cold. Cold is relative in my case. It would...

Thanks for the suggestions. I got the hook out of my sister in laws back. I was going to mention that my CV axles or half shaft or whatever they are called are "slinging grease" my garage recommended that I replace them also. So I was looking at $1800 for the replacement/install of the half...

My Struts are about shot. I'm thinking about doing a mild lift instead of replacing them. I already have some cornfed spacers or something that fixes the droopy nose problem. I just don't know how much a lift would cost. I started poking around and the amount of mods under some peoples builds...

I am leaning this way also. Is there a walkthrough on replacing calipers up anywhere? I also heard there are three different NAPA caliper models for our the 4th Gen. How do you know which one to choose?

Is there a consensus on what to replace the factory calipers with?

My Amazon Key FOB broke last week. The little silver swivel thing that connects to a key ring detached and as a result the rest of my keys could have been lost.

I am the proud owner of a Sunroofless, 2006 V8 SR5. Silver. 110,000 miles. Washington DC. Make me an offer

That looks identical to the one I got. I had to do some modifications to this key to make it feel better. I didn't like the button feel at first. It felt like i had to push to far in. So I disassembled and put some foam cushion behind the circuit board and the housing. Finding the right amount...

I installed one where there is an empty handle above the drivers head. I wanted it to be rubber over cloth in case my head ever collided with it during an accident. SEA-LECT Designs Webbing Handle w/ Caps and other Hardware It wasn't until after installing that I realized grabbing a handle in...

Yes I read the visor. I fully engage the parking brake. Put in neutral. Select 4 lo. Look at dash 4lo blink. Turn off radio and HVAC. open door crawl underneath the transmission. When I am directly below actuator I hear a faint squeaky sound. All the forward and reversing doesn't shake...

What does the actuator do?
