FS: Trail Edition Roof Rack SOLD SOLD Trail Edition roof rack for sale: $200 plus actual shipping. I would prefer to sell this face to face in SE Wyoming or the Colorado front range, north of Denver. Willing to meet purchaser half way for a face to face sale in these areas. If interested...

Thanks. It was there all along.:cry2:

The last time my Maintenance Required light came on, I reset it myself. Now, it's 10k miles later and I can't remember how I did it. I thought the instructions were in the owner's manual but I can't find them. Also, my search of this forum came up empty. If you know how to reset the damn...

...and the point you are trying to make is what, exactly?

I don't have a heated windshield. I have already spoken with my agent and was informed that a replacement windshield would fall under my comprehensive coverage and thus, a $250 deductible (and a higher premium at the next renewal). Seems a though there's no advantage to shelling out more bucks...

So, I've got a cracked windshield and although I've had cracked windshields before, it has always been on older vehicles and I never considered replacing the windshield with OE glass. Is there any benefit to replacing the windshield with an OE Toyota windshield vs. going to a local auto glass...

MeBe4running, Where are you located, or, what is your zip code? Thanks.

I've got an SR5 and it's fine in inclement weather. If you want/need four wheel drive you simply shift into 4Hi. If the Limited has "full time 4 wheel drive" that is not the same as "all wheel drive" like on Subarus. So, I guess that I'm not seeing the advantage that you seem to see in the...

I feel you pain. More than once has a car I've owned suffered the same fate. However, with my 4Runner, I had rock sliders installed soon after purchase. Thus, no door dings on this vehicle but several times I have noticed paint scrapes on the sliders. I figure each one of those would have...

Just to add a datapoint, I've been running these wheels for about a year. I am still using the OE size tires (but not the OE tires) and I think the wheels sit a bit wider than the OE wheels. To me, this looks good. I do get a little bit of rubbing on the front fender liners when in reverse...

While I'll admit it's pretty cheesey to call it "dual level storage" inside and to the front of the the center console of my 2012 SR5 there a step up (maybe shelf is a better word) about 1.25 inches wide. I leave a Surefire flashlight and a rescue knife there.

Thanks Qjake!

I've had TE roof rack to install on my SR5 for almost a year. I've just not gotten around to installing it. I've done a fair amount of searching but I want to be sure I do this properly. As far as I can tell, the two racks use the same hardware. So, I should be able to simply remove the SR5...

Please ignore my ignorance... what benefit do the beefier lower rear trailing arms provide. Is is only that they are more resistant to being damaged while offroad or do they improve the function of the suspension? Thanks.

That looks great! I am glad to see that it can be done without removing the garnish from the vehicle. Did you use Plastidip on the door handles too? If so, did you take off the door handles before using the Plastidip on them, or did you leave them in place like you did with the rear...
