Ok, so just so I know that I understand this, if I want to do a drain and fill on the transmission, would this be the correct procedure in summary?: 1) Open fill, overflow, and drain plugs. Allow pan to drain completely. 2) Replace drain plug, and add fluid via fill hole until it comes out of...

This is my point. Anyone can make a reasonable guess as to what is going on, but the fact is that Toyota has not publicly acknowledged the precise nature of the defect (and probably never will). Presumably, they are making changes to the part and testing before rolling out to the millions of...

Which aftermarket fuel pump? Is there such a thing? And if there is, it’s probably a copy of the OE part and likely has the same defect. And what is that defect, by the way? None of us know. How can we or anyone else fix what’s wrong, if we don’t even know what it is? In any case, I really...

Actually, I just realized that the kit utilizes the factory rear camera and harness, so it doesn't really help in this situation. The Anytime kit does look really cool, but not much point in a switch if I can't get the camera to work...

You can't pay to have it fixed because there is no fix yet. And when there is a fix, you won't have to pay for it.

F$&k it, I think I’m just going to order the Anytime dual camera kit. If I’m going to be tearing the truck apart looking for a short, I might as well upgrade! This kit looks dirt cheap for what it is, and I’ve got a big tow coming up so I don’t want to mess around with a faulty camera.

Has anyone had any luck with this issue? It's a crapshoot whether my camera is going to work or not, and I'm certain it must be a short somewhere between the head unit and the camera. Just now I tested it out in my driveway, no signal from camera, opened the hatch and had signal, closed the...

Man, I've been sleeping on this thread, and it looks like a lot has happened but then it just...stops. Nothing new, I guess?

Anyone have any issues with their backup cameras? A couple of months ago, mine just wouldn't work once in a while - it didn't happen too often, and I noticed if I stopped and restarted the truck the camera would be fine. Well, today I was driving the truck and I noticed the image was really dark...

Just wanted to post a quick update to this thread. Recently moved all the way back to the West Coast from the East Coast, specifically from North Carolina to Washington. As before, towed my BMW behind the 4Runner with the same set up detailed in the original post. Pretty much the same...

I've used The Truck Shop once before, and was pretty impressed. They didn't do anything too major - rear air helper springs, and a transmission cooler - but it was well within their capabilities. They specialize in Toyota trucks, and the parking lot was full of older LC's, Tacomas, and a few...

Your truck should've come with a wiring harness that plugs under the lower left dash. Some manufacturers (Tekonsha) sell adapters meant to plug into specific vehicles. IIRC, I used both the Tekonsha adapter and the Toyota-supplied harness in conjunction with one another, although I may have only...

Well, I certainly don't think I own the internet, whatever that means...I would suggest that perhaps you imbued my initial post with some sort of negative tone, because it certainly wasn't intentional. Anyway, the truth of the matter is that all these vehicles are similar. Our 5th Gen 4Runner...

Haha, I thought that was a Highlander...WTF is this guy talking about?

I'm not confused at all. You said that the 4Runner was sold in other markets as the LC Prado, which is simply not true.
