Over the weekend I replaced my brake pads up front - and went to the back, and COULD NOT get the caliper bolts to budge. They weren't rusted on that I could see, but I gave them a shot of PB catalyst anyway (to no avail). Does anyone have experience with removing these bolts to get at the rear...

What is the expected life on the rotors under normal, on-road use? I know I need pads, I don't know that I need rotors, though. Thanks for humoring a rookie.

Thanks, Antman. Hope you are right.

About 5k miles ago, I noticed that I can hear a subtle metal-on-metal scratchy noise coming from the underside of the truck. I can only hear it when I have my window down. The noise is only apparent when moving - at stationary idle there is nothing. Any idea what this could be? Thanks in...

Hi- After browsing for a bit I'm very interested in swapping out my headlights for the upgraded ones that include the painted black housing/trim. First off, what are those even called? Secondly whats the best way for me to get that done? I would search but I dont even know how to identify...

I should add: i have a 2010 Limited.

Hi- i ordered a set of OEM center caps to replace my original set which was stolen on the streets of Chicago. However i'm having a hell of a time getting them installed. I searched the forum but couldnt find anything. Does anyone have some guidance? I assume i leave the metal retaining ring...

Thanks for the reply. If I am going to have to go into the door guts, anyone out there have a link to a picture-heavy how-to thread?

Hi there- Long time, first time...more or less. I love my 2010 Limited w/ the JBL stereo. However, in the past 10 days, I've noticed that the passenger door has developed an audible rattle/vibration whenever there is a decent amount of bass on the stereo. Other potentially useful stuff...

Hi, I have the joy of parking my '10 limited on the street. Noticed this AM that all four of the center caps have vanished. Couple questions and a comment: 1. Now that I need to buy new center caps, is there a model/type that are "theft resistant" in some way? Or should I just go OEM and...

Awesome reply. Don't forget the extra ground clearance, it probably saved their lives.

Insurance? Any insurance concerns when you go outside of recommended sizes on LE? I would hate to put 275's that are recommended for 8+" rims on, then get in a wreck and have my insurance deny coverage as a result of the tire choice.

Not certain, you are not the first to infer that he may be part wolfhound. He is 75% St Bernard, the 25% is up in the air. When we got him we were told poodle, he has the narrow hips like a poodle. Who knows. He's a mongrel.

I have a 2010 Limited w/ Nav. it recalculates. I'm very happy with the system overall. Got a notice from Toyota today actually, asking me to pay $160 to upgrade the map software. Anyone have insight on this? Worthwhile? Workaround/torrents? :hiding:

I didnt realize the stock shift knob was so terrible. What am I missing?
