    Motor oil level high from factory.

    An overfill of less than several quarts is of no real concern for engine damage. The only risk of damage is from so much oil that the crank shaft becomes submerged and froths the oil. It takes something more than 6 quarts to reach that level and when it does you will know it by the noise and...

    Yet another 4Runner wheel balance problem...

    Since you observed the work, did they use a lug adapter plate to mount the wheel? I have one problem wheel that has been trouble since my '10 was new. If that one wheel is balanced with only a cone mount it will be perfect on the machine but will shake on the truck. See Toyota TSB SU002-96...

    Air bag info for towing

    Air-Lift #60833 is a +2" bladder. #60750 is a +3" bladder. I have the #60833 in my '3in.' lift springs. They work well. I've had it for 10 years and had to replace the bladders @ 7 years due to cracking. In the FJ world some people were using the +3" bladder but had a difficult time stuffing...

    Recently installed a switch for an LED bar, now I have no gear/HVAC/radio lights.

    Here are the wiring diagrams Attached are all of the diagrams that you should need to trace the path for the illumination wires. As you will see there are a lot of bridges on the back panel of junction boxes 4 and 5 that interconnect to the different switch and knob lighting. With a...

    Ignition Issues - After driving through deep water

    Place your finger on the starter relay while someone turns the key. If you feel the relay click when the starter does not engage, then the starter is probably bad. $160, two bolts, < 1 hr.

    Ignition Issues - After driving through deep water

    Nope. Same starter. Water will kill them.

    5th Gen Reverse Aux Lights

    If you want to keep it simple add-a-circuit to the Towing-BKUP fuse (footwell box) and attach that wire to post 85 or 86 (whichever is NOT connected to battery -) of the kit relay.

    Tranny pan drain plug location easy to strip?

    This is not an unheard of problem in the FJ community; it's rare but it happens. The threads are probably not stripped. There is a captive nut like device that is 'bonded' to the inside of the pan. It's not really spot welded, more of a arc bond. That bond will break and allow the 'nut' to...

    transmission temp check mode

    Flashing D is an over-temp indicator. The fluid volume expansion per degree is substantial; I'd adjust again at the right temp.

    Alternator Dead. 4 days after Warranty Ended.

    I'd do some diagnostics before making the leap to an alternator replacement. First brush and clean the battery terminals and check the ground lug. I'm not sure what 15A. fuse you are referring to. Check the 7.5 IG1 in the foot-well box and the 7.5 Alt S in the engine bay box. Then eliminate...

    2020 4Runner Configurator Issues

    It only shows what is on the ground or enroute within the sales region. For some reason some regions never get some packages. I don't know if that is regional ordering driven by by sales data or what. A dealer is married to the region. They cannot see or access anything beyond their region...
