I have kept going with the bleeding using techstream. Mostly air is coming out. I tried with the car on and holding the pedal down to let the pump work the air out of the rears. Pretty much a solid stream of VERY aerated brake fluid, like foam. I read another thread where someone said they had...

I bled the heck out of the brakes. The alarm quit for a while during the process (and no codes picked up by techstream). The pump never turned off. Alarm turned on again before I finished. Same codes saying the accumulator isn't building up pressure. Any ideas are welcome, but at this point it...

Thanks, I've had tabs open on most of those and I went through the ones I hadn't read yet. That's what led me to believe in the new pump and accumulator.

My ABS pump on my 2004 has been squealing for a while. The pump would run and end with a squeal. I figured it was the ABS pump motor wearing out due to a leaking accumulator. Eventually, the pump gave out all together. This was accompanied by the high pitched brake warning alarm. I swapped out...

Mounting Feet — Sherpa Equipment Company

Thanks for the info. I am adding an extra bracket to the middle of the side rails on the rack I'm building in case I get that same flex.

Have you tried having someone else start it while you listen from outside with the hood open? Possible it could be the ABS pump although it would be coming from the drivers side.

Well what do you know, I figured it out... mostly. The switch on the dash still does not function, but the key and the key fob do! In techstream, I figured out that if you click and HOLD on the arrows to do the test. Once I figured that out I was able to operate the window and then the...

I'm having the same problem as the op and it showed up while installing a backup camera. Started when I was testing the rear window to make sure the wires weren't interfering. The power tailgate latch did not work, but the window did roll down and then up. I unplugged the battery to reset the...

That's really interesting. I suppose it would help to load heavier items over the mounting brackets rather than the middle, and in the case of a rtt maybe having adjustable mounting feet like they do for the front of 5th gens. I just measured the deflection on the one I am building by setting it...

When you mention sag in the middle, are you talking about the crossbars? Have they always sagged or have they bent/curved from holding weight?

It's sharky but not too bad. Surf is decent. Nothing world class but we have our days... and it's fairly consistent. 4runner is good for driving down to the "poles", which are the mile markers on the part of the beach you can drive on and how you access the dunes. You must get some really cold...

Super close to the Pismo dunes, which means I can offroad and dodge Great Whites in the same session. Summer weekends and holidays in the sand are crazy busy. Safer with the sharks for sure.

Mobil 1 5w30 every 5000-6000

I used these to replace the fogs in my 2004 and they are a nice improvement. Makes my headlamps look dull and yellow in comparison though.
