2018 orp Out of curiosity, I went through the process to see what Vroom would give me. Came back with an offer to buy at $32,130 after entering the VIN and all details of my 2018 TRD Off Road Premium, KDSS with 110K miles.

The static was across all sources. From the moment the unit turned on there was static. The good news was it was resolved solely by replacing the battery. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My problem is solved, but I don't know why, so I'm reaching out because I'm curious. I installed a Kenwood Excelon DDX9905 about a year and a half ago along with the OEM Audio+ Reference 500 system (Speakers, sub, amp/signal processor). After install I would intermittently get only white noise...

The Pelican Cargo cases have integrated tie down points but I haven't read anything about them being designed for mounting. In the below pic of the BX 140 you can see the tie down point on the far left of the picture just above the handle.

Interior Storage Of the Pelican BX140R As I mentioned in my original post, this cargo case does not fit flat on the floor of the cargo area of the 4Runner. I wanted to have an option where I could keep it in the vehicle most of the time and put it up on the roof mount when needed. In...

I have been using the Pelican Cargo Case BX140R with roof rack mounting system for a few months and want to share my thoughts to those considering this case. (yes I mistyped the model number in the title, but now can't edit it). I've been on a 1400 mile road trip with it, taken it camping, and...

Solid Rack I bought my rail support system / rack a couple years ago and it has served me well. Fun fact - you can mount the Pelican cargo case roof mount (large) to the support system with no alterations to the supports (you will have to file one of the holes in the mount IF you want to screw...

Pelican I built a shelf for my Pelican cargo case out of extruded aluminum. I have the quick roof mount for the case as well, but it doesn't fit in the garage with it attached so wanted an option to keep it in the cargo area. Unfortunately the case is about two inches too long to fit between...

I just stumbled upon the Tacoma Sport Trailer, the overland trailer made from the bed of a Taco, announced back in December. What say you - Yay or Nay and why? Toyota Unveils Ultimate Overlanding Rig: The TRD-Sport Trailer - Toyota USA Newsroom https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dibeq49ep44

The seals are holding up well - no issues with water in the headliner or anywhere else.

Mlv With few reasons to leave the house during COVID I took the time to complete sound dampening on my rig. I had already added constrained layer dampening (CLD) (Sound Skins Brand) to the doors but hadn't done anything to the rear hatch or the floor. Over the course of two weeks (more on this...

Yes, I agree - that's the route I ended up taking. The carpet fits back into all the clips. I'm working on reattaching the rear cargo panels now. The only questions left are torque for bolts and how it sounds. Hopefully the remaining panels that need to go on behave.

Does anyone happen to know the proper torque for the bolts that hold the seats to the floor and the seat belts to the pillars. I found conflicting information on the forum. One post was 27 ft/lb and another was 31 ft/lb. Does anyone have the detail specifically for a 5th Gen? Also, can anyone...

Hidden Bolts! Pulling the seats isn't too bad. As others have said, pull the plastic caps with a panel tool then take out the bolts. Be aware, to get the seats out, once you have pulled the bolts from the floor you need to fold the backs forward and flip up the carpeting on the back fo the...

I'm working on sound dampening the floor of the truck and I need some help on logic for layout of the dampening and torque on the bolts when I reinstall seats and seat belts. Logic for dampening: I'm in the process of laying out the CDL and have that covered. My question is around MLV. Through...
