    "Multi-Terrain Select Not Available" + Check Engine Light + TRAC OFF

    Gas Cap I had the same issue on Sunday. Started up the truck and these lights came on the dash. Engine was running fine and there no problems with driving. I read this thread and just re-tightened the gas cap. I kept driving and by Tuesday all these lights were off. I was just glad it was just...

    5th Gen T4R Picture Gallery

    Nice! Is this a FSR in Squamish? I camped in Squamish a few weeks ago but didn't get a chance to find a FSR. I did do some FSR driving in Sechelt though!

    Looks good! I know that mall area also. I've got the 265 duratracs and just waiting to move up to 285's. I changed to rims with -12 offset and had the same problems with my mudflaps. Removing mudflaps is quick and easy.

    Relations Race Wheels anyone have them in here?

    No, stock Toyota lug nuts are not acorn lug nuts. I used Gorilla 41137B Acorn lug nuts. I too bought last November and just had them put on this week. RR2-S gunmetal with black lip, offset -12. According to RRW, as long as the lug nut has a 60 degree conical seat, you'll be fine.

    It is strapped down to the netting. There is a reason why the handle of the fire extinguisher is over the edge of the netting. But yes, you are correct that it will be an issue if put up there loosely.

    It's stable enough for everyday driving as it is. Haven't gone off roading with it yet. Yeah, it did cross my mind about projectiles, but with all the kids stuff in the 4Runner, what's one more projectile.:rofl:

    Asus Zenpad 8.0. The tablet camera is at the top left corner so I can have a dashcam if I get the right app.

    I've tightened my straps at much as I could, but the middle still sags. It is netting and will sag with weight.

    Tablet mount Looks great! I'm fine tuning my setup (magnets and a tablet stand) to do the same thing. I just ran into a snag, when I wear my polarized sunglasses, the tablet screen is all black. What hardware are you using to hold up your tablet?

    Raingler Ceiling Cargo Net I've got the EZ-install cargo net with the net webbing and mesh. I've got the same thing happening when loaded. I ended up putting in a stiff lightweight board above the net to minimize sagging. I have a small fire extinguisher, moving blanket, first aid kit and some...

    Rhino Rack on TRD

    Hi, to reply with a not so quick answer, I improvised. The accessory bar sits flat on the rack originally.

    Rhino Rack on TRD

    I've attached some pix of the CXB legs, I had concerns of breaking the legs if I over tightened the screws, but it didn't happen as long as you tighten the legs evenly. I tried measuring the height of the rails. It should be the same as yours.

    Rhino Rack on TRD

    Almost there I just kept slowly tightening the side screws on the CXB legs one side then the other, then it becomes snug to the rails. I haven't taken the pioneer rack off so I don't if something else is happening, but I haven't had any problems with it since it was installed.

    Kodiak Canvas Tents Group Buy

    That I don't know. Until I get it and set it up. But I guess the worst that can happen is that these would be staked in the ground separately. I don't plan to camp in any rocky locations so I think 10ml with reinforced mesh would be ok. The downside to a thicker tarp is bulk and weight. My tent...

    Kodiak Canvas Tents Group Buy

    Tarp I went through this also. The only thing is getting a tarp that is the same width. I bought the 9x8 tent and I did quite a bit of searching for something better, cheaper and at least 9 foot wide. I found cheap ones, but not at the size I wanted. The better ones were close to the price with...
