Bilstein 4600 softer shock I have a 2012 limited. At 86,000 miles my x-reas were leaking. I replace with Bilstein 4600s. Reason was I did not use my truck off of the roads. It was a daily driver. Ride was firm but not brutal or too soft. I now have 126,00 miles and ride is the same. I feel...

I was not capable to troubleshoot the electrical. I took it to a friend and he helped. He replaced the left rear wiring harness with the other one from the other side and problem went away. Thus he knew a wire was broke somewhere in the harness. It was not an obvious break. The new...

Sounds similar to my problem…… Abs, emergency brake, vac, 4-lo wheel, all lights that come on Fix was replacing wiring harness on the drivers rear quarter panel…ordered it from Toyota ($230.00) No more warning lights

Found the problem…… Wiring inside driver rear quarter panel had a break. Throwing false signals to dash…….fis was ordering a new wiring harness on that end. $230.00 Replaced and everything is normal again………. Thank you

Thank You for a start on my troubleshooting. Looks as if problem is mechanical (loose wires) and not electrical (fuse or circuit) I have tomorrow off work....so I have some time Thanks again for the help

2012 limited now getting dash signals showing ABS emergency brake anti-skid 4 wheel-Lo None of these things are "on" truck runs as usual. What has caused these lights to come on?

I have owned gen 3 , gen 4, and now gen 5. Go for the gen 4 2005 and up. Better engine and transmission. 5 speed compared to the older 4 speed. Possible to get 20 mpg . 6. Cylinder has plenty of power. I liked my 97 but I got better power, comfort, and mpg with my 2007. It was an...

Thanks I will look into replacing with regular sr5 parts. Will start pricing.....

Sorry.....missed your reply I do not fully understand. King??? My xreas are needing replacement. I want to know $$$ difference Thank you

Leakage found on suspension. Mechanic recommends replacement. I want a nice soft ride. Tired of the rigid bumps. ( probably 20 inch wheels partly to blame).... Anyway what is the difference in Oem parts only to change from xreas to regular shocks like kyb?

Sound goes away the older you get. I agree with your need for "clarity"... It is almost a necessity to change the front speakers, because as you turn volume up Noise comes with the CHEAP paper cones.... even my 70 year old ears heard it I put a high priced component set up front and sound...

Thanks so much for these "tips"...... I am actually feeling more confident about the swap. This is an excellant knowledge base to draw from. This forum is good because of the people on it............WELL DONE

tigger and rigtec, Thank you for your time in replying. This is the info I needed. I will be changing out only the front end speakers. I use the fader to lessen the rears. I have noticed a huge improvement in sound volume and quality by using "party mode" NOW....I understand...

2012 limited (no jbl). 8 speakers with party mode.... I have from a previous car a set of HAT (hybrid audio) speakers. 6 1/2 inch with 1inch tweeters. The efficiency is at 91. I do not intend to run an amp. The performance should be good with head unit power (stock). Now my question is...

Good Morning....recently bought a 2012 "limited" . I did not buy the extra warranty. Now I am experiencing problems with the radio. Bluetooth freezes up and sometimes the ipod streaming quits. It only has 24,000 miles , but, the 3 year warranty is gone. Question 1 Is it worth fixing...
