    Need a good 12 volt to AC inverter to run a laptop up front

    If it were me I'd get a 12 volt outlet charger that matches your computer. Otherwise your taking 12 volts from the 4runner converting it to 110 volts AC, then converting it back to 18-21 volts DC to charge the laptop.

    5th gen PS fluid

    When I changed mine at 75,000 it was reddish brown anyway so the dex 3 I used matched just fine :thumb3:

    5th gen PS fluid

    My 2010 said Dexron 3 right on the cap, does your cap say something different?

    Do not go to dealership for oil change!

    I was at a tire and lube place getting new tires for the wife's RAV4 last night and the closest lane to the waiting area window was an oil change lane. I watched a 3rd gen Tacoma pull in and get an oil change, I'm not 100% sure but the new oil filter he put in looked shorter, like the ones I...

    Any way to lock doors while it warms up?

    Could you try opening the drivers window, get out of the truck, hit the lock button on the door, then hit the auto up on the window? Do you plan on using another key to get back in?

    No shift indicator lights??

    Look in the Atman mod thread, it's super easy and looks really cool. 2 LED's and drill a few holes, I think I spent 45 minutes doing mine taking my time. I bought orange LED's to match the rest on my dash lights.

    Air Bag Replaced - Now Stereo Problem - thoughts?

    I'm not sure it's related to the airbag recall work, that sounds similar to how my radio acted before locking up and dying a few months later.

    Stock Radio Head Unit Not Working Right

    My 2010 did the exact same thing last year, eventually it stopped working all together. Unfortunately I think it also ruined the power antenna because I've tried 2 two different aftermarket head units and the reception is still crappy. That was the first symptom I noticed in the stock unit...

    Do you loose radio presets etc. when changing the battery

    I changed my battery about a month ago, the only thing I lost was the trip A and B mileage and the time. All my presets and home link worked just as before.

    Using the key to open the rear window

    Is there a chip reader or something in the key or hatch that could be going bad? In the last few months when I put the key in to open or close the window it won't turn for about 15 seconds then it will work normally. It does this if the truck is locked or unlocked and it doesn't matter if I'm...
