    Running boards - buy off ebay?

    Also check Craigslist because I just picked up a set of never used go rhino steps for $60. I got lucky though. [emoji6]

    Anyone else have this issue?

    I agree. However, I haven't had time to dig in and look closely. I really only popped the cover off the engine and looked with a flashlight. I do know that when dealing with warranty work techs can sometimes embellish the story some to get extra time. So let's say they actually found a plug not...

    Nope they said they spliced it. Plus I'm a tech so I know how warranty works and they usually don't want to pay for jack. At least Honda doesn't. As long as it wasn't SRS related they usually have us splice. Sometimes I don't agree with it but that's how it is.

    Huh? Yes they fixed it. I'm just curious if anyone else had a similar issue or if mine was isolated.

    And if something had gotten wet because of the car wash then I would have taken full responsibility. However, a wire that wasn't routed correctly and rubbed through on the valve cover in 900 miles is a different story.

    P0353, p0354, p0355, p0356 according to the paperwork. I forgot to write them down when I scanned it but I think there was one other.

    Anyone else have this issue?

    So my wife got a new T4R a few weeks ago and when this happened it had around 900 miles on it. We took it through a car wash that we had already been through a couple times. When I was pulling out onto the road it misfired a bit and check engine and trac off lights came on. I scanned it when I...

    BBQ/Smoking Meat

    Deer back strap. Marinate in soy sauce/brown sugar. Then wrap in bacon and sprinkle a little of your favorite seasoning. I believe this was Montreal seasoning.

    What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

    I almost never like color matched off-road bumpers but this one looks really good!

    Custom Roof Rack Fabricators

    Well that pretty much seals the deal for me on not getting a Gobi rack. Protecting your patent is one thing but trying to bully everyone else out of the market is bs.

    DIY "Gobi Style" Roof Rack Build

    Thanks! I was planning on building one for my FJ80 but I sold it before I got around to it. Now with the T4R I'm back on the idea. I was planning on trying a conduit bender but if that doesn't work I'll use your "bender" idea. Nice work!

    How much are people paying for the NEW 4Runner?

    Sold it on my own. It doesn't matter here how you sell it just as long as it's within 45 days before or after your purchase.

    Electrical problems

    I was a Honda tech for many years and it's the same thing with them. I replaced door lock actuators and window regulators/motors constantly. I remember a crv with all 4 lock actuators bad at the same time.

    DIY "Gobi Style" Roof Rack Build

    I've been contemplating this. I think I may have to now! Do you have any close ups of how you mounted it?
