I use Millennium in Hempstead. Never had any sort of issue. Easy online scheduling, text notifications and reminders, and the service is always done quickly and ahead of the schedule they quote. Price is reasonable for anything you may need to pay for. Free coffee is nice too.

Thanks for the advice. I tried it out today and it worked pretty well.

I have the same truck, same phone and same service. Can you explain how you managed to get it to work?

I've found a few comments about how easily the dash of the 5th Gen gets scratched, but I haven't found any solutions. I've tried searching this forum and elsewhere, but short of stickers, I can't find a good solution for minor surface scratches on the textured part. Any ideas?

When I picked up my 4R, the salesman showed me a single button key fob that was to be the starter. I asked for it to be programmed into the key (regular, not smart) instead because I was fed up with my previous fob (huge prestige with display). Range is great, but buttons are disabled when...

Know exactly what you want and don't allow anything else to be sold to you unless it is a price you can agree with. When you zero in on a truck you want, put the specifics into Galves. Take about $500 off that price to get an idea how much the dealer valued the car for. Like was mentioned, the...

I'm not the biggest fan of it, but why not try plasti dip? Check out the FJ forum for a huge thread about all of its uses. Needs to be touched up every once in awhile but that means it is easy to reverse and cheap.

I paid 36,500 for a mag grey TE in May. it does not have the KDSS, but does have the other options (Entune, remote start, roof...). While comparing two dealers, my first choice agreed the price from the other dealer was too good to beat (I also got a great deal for trading and FJ). I still...

I have a 4x8 sheet of plywood spanning the rafters. Everything too short to fit between is on top of the plywood shelf. Before I had the plywood as scrap, I used some 1x8s about 2 feet apart, spanned the rafters, then place the short pieces between the 1x8s and parallel with the rafters. All...

Any recent moves or changes of address? The same thing happened to me after moving a few years ago. Turns out my shipping address was automatically changed to my previous one, the forwarding expired and the package was in the bushes of my old place. Doesn't explain why there is no other mail...

I made the switch from FJ to 4R and never looked back. The FJ was a great truck, but the 4R is exactly what I was looking for. For the liners, I went with the Toyota ones. I used Huskies in the FJ, and while they were good, I never had a problem with the OEM style ones in past trucks, so I...

Can you thread the right size nut on to where you need the knob to stop for the pattern, then screw the knob on so it stops at the nut? Maybe just lock tite will do the trick, too.

Thanks to everyone for the welcome. I had no problems with the FJ. It was a very reliable truck, that's what led to me getting the 4Runner. The doors and a few other features just didn't meet my needs.

New to this forum, used to own a 2011 FJ. 13 months, 13,000 miles. Since I had no problems mechanically with it, I opted for the 4Runner to better suit my needs (mainly 4 doors). Being from NY, the most wheeling I got done with the FJ was on a few poorly maintained dirt roads. I'm not going to...
