Looking to upgrade high beam/DRLs on 2016 4runner to 9011 bulbs. Have seen a few posts w/pros & cons on various brands, but not a good consensus. Would like a bulb that long lasting & bright, especially for the DRLs. What brands are recommended & have had good success? Tks

Installing Rostra seat heaters in 2016 4runner. Removing seats & installing pads appears pretty straight forward. Removing shroud around shifter may be a challenge though. Curious where & how to attach power lead to fuse panel. Have read articles talking about using an add-a-fuse, but not sure...

Forgot to add sound of noise. Below are 2 vids of the sound 4RNR3 - YouTube 4RNR1 - YouTube

Yes, tried a stethoscope & do not think the noise is from the motor. Could not get on the pump too well to ck it, so may try again. Can pick up an aftermarket pump & motor which may take care of the pump question or go the entire system route if can find one in decent shape. Do you know if the...

AuSeeker, yes, have considered those scenarios, just that pretty deep into this for a vehicle planning on selling &the added costs 1/3-1/2 value of truck. Sometimes can find the motor/pump used or aftermarket units, but do not want to end up in same scenario. So, was looking to try least painful...

Have an '03 4runner that has the persistent buzz or squeal coming from the area of the ABS booster pump system when brakes applied. It is not the standard hum of the system while pressurizing. Have replaced the ABS motor, o-ring on accumulator, & piston on MC. Brakes function, but maybe a little...

Yes, replacing unit would have been the correct option, but that is hindsight. Thanks for responding

Replaced piston & o-ring on accumulator to hopefully stop the squeal & improve brake performance. Brakes feel & function better, but squeal not affected. The sound cycles now every 4-5 seconds when brakes pushed instead of being sporadic. Still could be from pump, just not sure. If not from...

Have a squeal or sound like a loud buzzer coming from brake booster system after 3-4 presses of brake, more so when cold. This sound is in addition to the normal hum of the booster motor. Majority of people with similar issues indicated to replace booster motor. Replaced motor w/a new unit...

The driver side VHAL on our '03 4runner does not keep the seat positioned. Can lift lever to full height, but the seat does not stay in position. The seat drops to lowest point in just a couple times of getting in/out of truck. Cannot find much info on this lever & how the system works. Anyone...

Pulled some panels off & found a small motor on side of HVAC unit where the humming sound originates. Not sure that is the issue, but have pic/video of what is going on & will try to find a parts diagram & replace the part, I think. Not much room under there & do not see much of how the motor is...

Have an '03 where the heat does not come on. Both lines to the heater block are hot, coolant level is fine, T-stat appears to be working properly. A/C works & responds according to the set temp & in all positions of mode control. Do have a humming sound from right side of console that was...

I had the front windshield replaced, but vendor did not use OEM molding along top of windshield. Could someone with an original windshield molding mind sending me a couple of pics of that molding? I can find the replacement molding, but cannot find a cross section to show the installer. Was...

Great information here. Looking at '14 or '15 and was curious about the mileage on both trucks. Both appear to be very similar. Not knowing how the 4wd is set up, would 4wd affect gas mileage while not activated vs. having a 2wd model? thanks

Have '03, 4runner, Michelin LTX/MS2, with vibration in steering wheel, similar to out of balance tires. Long story, but these are a new set of tires by tire dealer to see if vibration issue in front end cured by changing tires. However, the new tires only helped some. Shop also says front end...
