The drain holes for my sunroof were clogged and during the first big storm here in the Bay Area I was getting water sloshing around under the sunroof and leaking into the interior down around the driver side, not cool. Our house is under a lot of trees and there is always duff and debris...

Got my new Cooper AT/3s this morning. Thanks 1engineer for this great thread on these tires. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/114342-tires.html $767.74 out the door, less the $60 Cooper rebate, $707, the price is really right on these tires. In the shameless plug department, for...

Saw this nice looking limited in the UC Hastings parking garage in SFO, that is my Trail on the right... <a href="http://s1251.photobucket.com/user/sitting_still/media/ed4feedf-9af2-46ee-a5ea-1bc30722dd5d.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img...

Here is a link with some opinions on bolt-on vs. welding on sliders. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/off-roading/64804-bolt-sliders-bad-sketchy-2.html I have been really happy with my RRO sliders. They are plenty strong. You will hear some bad things about their customer service, which is...

I suspended mine from the top of my carport with my NSI Garb Tie Down Straps, and had them resting on buckets too, was a manageable one man job.

Well, looks like they are trying to deal with it, not that it makes it any less stoopid... https://www.facebook.com/RuggedPix/

Hey Sean, yes it is, nice one! Pretty well known trail, I spend a lot of time in that area during the summer.

That was the best review ever. “a great review is always the inverse of another review that could only be written in the soul, with silence and blood.” ---Melville. It's obviously an intentional meta/ironic commentary on mall crawling! And she also probably got a few bucks from Toyota. :)

Ha! I am an attorney 1engineer... as far as what that means regarding how to answer my questions, have at it.

Great response knight-errrant, you are right, it is a matter of perspective and expectations so Toyota has to choose one. If we factor in varying speeds of the wiper blade as it goes across the windshield the consideration could really get deep! Maybe I will create a replacement sticker with...

And if it was not obvious already, no, I am really not interested in getting any work done here in the office this afternoon, ha

Right, well stated Knight-Errant, and you had me convinced for a minute that the way it is set up now is accurate. But in thinking further about your rev counter analysis, and the fan comparison, you have identified the crux of the issue. When you are looking for the proper intermittent wiper...

Alright, I do see the logic. I was a philosophy major so I am trained to look at things backwards as a rule... the fan argument was solid, really the most persuasive though was the new information that the wiper motors are gasoline powered!

This has always bothered me... shouldn't the image indicating the speed of the intermittent wipers be narrower at the top to indicate that the wipers are at the highest frequency of wiper speed (the smaller the graphic, the smaller period of time between each wiper swipe), and wider at the...

I had the same question. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/142611-wife-getting-annoyed-about-getting-into-lifted-trail.html I went with this street taco guy's bolt on steps. http://stores.streetacos.com/steps-clamp-on/ That way I can take the step off for off roading. It is not too...
