Thanks man. It's funny, I don't do well in heat, especially the humidity. Ugh do I hate it with a passion. Love the cold, so obviously I've enjoyed this winter here in FL, best one since 2000!

CJ, seriously, this thing is sick. Not only is it a hybrid, it is also apparently the fastest production car Lexus makes. You wouldn't think a hybrid would be this powerful and this much fun to drive while getting this type of mileage. Crazy.

Oh hell no, I am not getting rid of this beast. I would have to get a 4X4 IN ADDITION to keeping this car...lol

Cookie - no, I didn't like the 4300K OEM low beams, they are/were too yellow for me. The 8000K is a nice ice blue/white, provides plenty of light and contrasts very nicely with the 2500K hyper yellow fogs. Some people want their fogs to match the low beams. I like it this way. Scoobs -...

OK Cookie, you got me on that one. And yeah, maybe the seat bothered me more than most, but I couldn't stand it any more. It really really annoyed the hell out of me. OK, here are some preliminary pics. Keep in mind that tomorrow I am getting tint, putting in 8000k low beams and 2500k super...

Well guys, just wanted to say farewell and best of luck to everyone. Having had four consecutive 4Runners (2000, 2004, 2006, 2008), I obviously loved this truck, but I just couldn't deal with the moving/popping/clicking driver's seat anymore. I settled my suit with Toyota, traded the truck in...

I guess I'm just incredibly frustrated. I went through 13 months of total BS with my 06, and now the 08 has the same problems. I expect more from Toyota, as they seem to have set the bar quite high. Any decline in quality at the expense of making a buck will have me seeing red. So, I will...

Aside from the noises, my damn seat actually moves. I can feel it on almost every turn. Ridiculous.l

Maybe you'll have better luck than I did. Seat in my Urban has been replaced 3 times in a year. Problem always comes back and now I'm suing Toyota bc the dealer says there is nothing else they can do. Once I get a settlement, I'm trading this POS in and never buying another Toyota ever again...

Thanks Morphius. I love the truck too and I hate to do this, but seriously, I've had it with the seat bullshit. First all the problems with my 06, now the same crap with my 08. As soon as the suit is settled, I'm out. They will either buy it back and compensate me for the payments I've made...

Yep, the pop is back in mine too. First the absolute 13 month hell with my 06, now the 08 Urban. I'm on my third seat...and it's back again, this time only one month since it was last replaced. Do what I did - hire a law firm and sue Toyota's ass. This seat issue has been going on for years...

Update #2 Ok, hope I'm not jinxing myself here. Dealer replaced BOTH seats, driver and passenger, on Tuesday, August 11. So far, so good, seat feels nice and tight, no movement, no noises. I even had a 350 lb. friend ride in the passenger seat and no movement or noises. He did complain...

I think the fact that this crap has been going on for three or four years should tell you that they have no idea how to fix this. Don't let them get away with telling you that there is only a 90 day warranty on the seat. If it acts up again, take it back and raise hell, I don't care if it's a...

Yep, I had the entire seat replaced yesterday myself. Like morphius says, the seat feels nice and tight, but we will indeed see. This is the second time they've replaced it (the first time was in December and the problem returned after about three months). If it comes back, they will have to...

Agreed.
