Thanks for the video and info, Danny. In my case, the fobs weren't completely dead - they operated the door locks like they usually do - but I'll remember that trick if I ever run into the problem again. :thumb3:

After the hour wait, it started instantly without any indication that it didn't want to. (That's how it has always started since I bought it last summer. Just a quick press of the button and it roars to life.) And the light on the switch doesn't go green until I hit the brake pedal. Temp-wise...

Thanks for the suggestions gents. My answers are in-line. The battery is less than a year old, with shiny tight posts and connections. No mice or other critters. The entire engine compartment looks like new. I've not had the battery tested yet, but every electrical accessory in the vehicle...

Question for you folks who have "Smart Key" pushbutton start on your 4Runners: Have you ever had it fail to turn over when you pushed the button? It happened to me last night, and I'm still trying to figure out why. The details: 2010 Limited. Battery is good. All electronics worked, including...

Took the little missus on a tour of some of the local mountains on Saturday. No real 4-wheeling action shots (although I did get to do a little on some side trails), but here are a few pics from the Jemez mountains in central New Mexico. Random red rock formation on FS 376... Gilman Tunnels...

I had a set of 275/55/R20 Cooper Discoverer ATPs installed on my 2010 LE yesterday and so far I couldn't be happier. To be fair, they replaced a set of new Sailun (Chinese-made) highway tires that Carmax had installed prior to my purchase a few weeks ago. They feel more firm and responsive, and...

Or you could do like we did in our house and just buy carpeting that matches your dog. (True story, lol.)

First 4x4 was a 1984 Ford Bronco II purchased new. Looked like this one, minus the roof rack: First wife ended up with it after the divorce. By then, I was driving an '87 Wrangler, and I'd already owned and sold an '86 Chevy diesel 4x4. Replaced the Jeep with a full-sized 1990 Bronco. Only...

Starting out with a fairly blank slate. Just picked up this 2010 LE last Friday and I'm already coming up with minor mods I want to do. It's came with gunmetal gray Black Rhino 20x9 wheels (with some new 275/55 Chinese AT tires the dealer threw on). Since my off-roading will be pretty mild and...

Nothing fancy...just a 1997 Ranger 4x4 with a half ton Tommy Lift gate. Hand-me-down from my dad when he got too old to drive a 5-speed stick. It's got 237K miles on it and still runs strong. I don't drive it often, but when I need to load something heavy, my messed-up back really...

2010 Limited...just picked it up Friday. Sorry, no cool action shots yet. I have a few mods planned, but nothing too fancy. This will mainly be my DD with a little bit of occasional dirt road travel.

Bought it! (Friday, actually.) It's a 2010 Limited, mostly stock. Looks like the only mods it's had are Black Rhino 20x9 wheels (with new 275/55/20s on them) and the X-REAS system has been replaced with Bilstein 4600s. Probably going to upgrade to the 5100s and lift the front a little bit to...

Doh! I have no idea how I got over to the 4th Gen page. I blame it on having a blond moment, lol. Mods, feel free to delete my original post.
