Remove platic box frommetal housing (bracket) completely, then wrap metal brackets (left and right) with solid amount of vinyl tape, put box back into bracket, it should sit tight

Did anyone mention GX 460? It will be both feeling at home and also absolutely new car + at reasonable price. That's what I did. Recommend to do a test drive.

I put my Leatherman multitool there -perfect firm placement. For radio mic though I plan to print holder on 3d-printer and put it into "sauce" slot :)

Thanks! Would be good to hear from them in this thread.

OK, few layers of insulating tape around metal brackets did the trick and box is now sitting death silent. But IMO this is not level of Toyota, I expected more accuracy from them.

So today on the trail I noticed rattle sound from front-left part of the vehicle. I realized that relay box (red square) is sitting loose in it's housing and it is easy to reproduce rattle with just hand. Do you have this issue in your own vehicle? Is this box sitting loose or firm? Not a big...

Thank you for the reply. Will this shipping cost for the sliders remain indefinitely or do you foresee reduction later?

Update for 2021 Toyota. It still happens for this year as well :(. Toyota does not have TSB released for 2021 model so owners should wait. TSB for 1994 - 2020 4Runners: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10186195-9999.pdf Attached my dealer visit conclusion. Take a look at highlighted part:

Few months ago CBI sliders had free shipping, now shipping cost is $200. Is it temporary or not? If not, what is the sense to buy through you and not from CBI directly? Thanks!

Thanks! No, I don't worry about fading. By the time it will happen my rig will have so many mods and so many dings from off road that I will care even less :D There are few pros of plastidip: 1) It is already in my garage :D 2) It is dirt cheap 3) If something go wrong (I'm sure it will), it...

I did not have any all-weather liners in the car so I ordered 1) Set of OEM all-weather in-cabin liners for people's feet. 2) Husky cargo liner instead of OEM because: a) It was cheaper b) It has tall sides - so is able to keep something liquid inside. What I can tell that material of...

From my understanding it's clear coat is fading under ultra violet. For black color it's just more visible. So to return shine black there are polishing services, should not be too expensive. Anyway I hope I'll not see it in nearest 5-7 years :)

Few things: 1) color does not match vehicle black color 2) For front valance I had not enough place and it was pretty cold, so I've got few drips here and there. So it's mostly about my bad skills and cold weather. Rear valance looks more or less good :) So I may end up with swapping only...

I absolutely agree with your point. Sigh, here is Seattle powder coating is $120 per wheel. This is not something I cannot afford, I just feel it is unnecessary... DIY powder coating will require: wheels assembling/disassembling, sanding, priming, coating, clear coating, lot of hassle, I just...

For that people usually use trash bags, so will I.
