Had my TE in for an oil change this week and mentioned the headlights and seat crunching. New headlights were ordered without question (in next week) however they wouldn't do anything with the seat right now as they could not replicate the crunching. I showed them the TSB and they made a note of...

Hey folks, I usually try not to promote any products I have not actually tried myself however my friends company has an iPad give away for liking their Facebook site so figured I would put it out there for people that want to make a couple of clicks for a chance to win. This does seem like a...

I guess like anything it is all user preference. I find the orange display is always too bright for nights. With the Optitron you can turn it down but still see it clearly... Big fan of it.

Hey Mardon, I have been driving my TE around NL since 2010 and love it. No trouble switching it into 4Hi around 50-60km/h (can't remember exactly what is in the manual but it is around there). When ever there is a stain of snow on the ground I put mine in 4Hi and go. The cloth seats in the TE...

As for the Canadian side check out this link. Appears as thought the TSB's are North America Wide if I am reading it correctly. Will look to get this done at my next service so will be calling the dealer soon...

Duratrac's coming off I should start this by saying I love my Duratrac's. I have stock size E rated. Problem is I live on the east coast of Canada where we can have some pretty messy winters with a mix of snow/ice/rain, all in the same day. I have the Duratrac's on now for about 15k km's and...

Problem solved. Window was down just a touch. Better to look like a fool on here then feeling like an idiot at the dealership! Thanks guys...

Hey Guys, Got into my TE the other day and went to put the rear defrost and rear wiper on but no dice... Wiper wouldn't move and light did not come on on the defrost button. Prior to this I opened the rear door and there was a bit of ice between the door and body that did a bit of crunching. I...

Just my opinion but if you are not strapped for cash (and by the look of it you are not as you are looking at a 2nd T4R :), then definitely go with the Limited. Suspension, dash display, push button start, etc...

Finally had enough of my OEM horn... Picked up the Fiamm El Grande's this evening and installed them outside under my porch light no problems. Thanks to Titanpat and all others for the posts. One little hint. Tape up the connection prior to final mounting of the horns (especially if doing this...

Brasso will also help take off any transfer.

Some good info here... http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/78176-right-way-pull-someone-out-ditch.html and try here... Recovery Straps - Tow Straps - Proper Usage Ideally you would want a nylon web sling without hooks. This will give you some stretch as opposed to wire or chain...

I second that. There were about 350miles on my new 2010 TE. They were put on by a retired couple driving it from a dealer to my dealer and then my salesman actually drove it to a ferry for me (I bought it out of province in Canada). Truck ran great from day one. Certainly wouldn't hurt to ask...

Correction... They're calling for 10 inches of snow and you get excited...

Same goes for the TE.
