The only two things I hate about my 4Runner is the poor towing performance and the stupid remote start. If a tune would: 1. Give me more low end torque for towing. 2. Remove the stupid ignition off when you get into it after remote starting it. I wouldn't have to buy another vehicle for 10...

My new brake squeal too. When I redo my suspension, I'm going to try and do a couple things to help, but I think it's just the pads. I was warned to only go with OEM pads but didn't listen. Aftermarket one, even though they are ceramic, just are terrible.

Mine failed at 60k. I knew it probably would so was expecting it. I haven't replaced it yet (Icon Stage 2 looking at me from their boxes as I type), but the only thing I've noticed is wheel hop until they warm up. Basically like the tire is out of balance, but it goes away after a few miles.

You do know the Limited has both, right?

My 2014 LE spare had no TPMS. Just swapped it for a steelie and no issues.

Only hippies drive hybrids!!! (I'm looking forward to the torque of electric motors, but don't tell anybody).

Is this site even maintained anymore? Are there mods still?

Geesh guys, one of the biggest gripes about the 5th gens has been the sluggish acceleration and lack of power. Then, everytime someone posts something that might help address it, out come the "it's not a sports car!" comments. More power can be useful in 4Runners. I tow a boat and looking at...

I don't know anything about the 2020 4Runner system, but I do know several of the other ones I've seen do record, but locally. The Corvette even puts it on a SD card so you can access it easily. I have a bit of experience with computer security and can tell you some scary things, I didn't...

It does snap it but looks horrible if removed. You have to take the whole bumper off to get to the back of it btw. Most people just paint or plastidip it black or replace it with a real bumper.

This is the answer. I changed mine several times with the plastic housing until I finally gave up. I put the metal housing on it and the last time I changed my oil, it worked fine taking off the cap, draining the oil from the filter, then taking off the housing. And yes, I used a torque...

I've upgraded my bulbs years ago and the ONLY time I've been flashed was when I had the back loaded heavy at night. I did adjust my cut-off line 3 inches below factory (non-lifted) settings and I'm careful to keep the cut off below the trunk line/side view mirror when I pull up behind someone...

I think that would be too high anyway. Have you thought about using a license plate mount and then just bending the camera out? https://www.amazon.com/REARMASTER-License-Waterproof-Guideline-universal/dp/B01H1V2XX2/ref=sr_1_8?keywords=front+view+camera+tilt&qid=1573586483&sr=8-8 Or maybe...

BTW, the top mount spacer isn't that thick. Due to the geometry, 2.5" is the lift when installed correctly. When installed incorrectly, I've seen it higher I've been running a Daystar "lift" for years now on a XREAS suspension. I have just over 60k on my truck and I am starting to get a...

I have the original Sherpa. I can use it in the 4Runner (2" receiver) and my wife's Outback (1.25"). I've transported bikes (road, TT, mountain bikes) all over with it for years and it's held up really well. I've had to fix a few things on it and the original tightening cam didn't work with...
