One of the TPMS went out on my 2016 PRO, and I took it to a local repair shop that assured me they can do it for around $130. They checked the other 3 and said the battery in another one was almost dead so they recommended replacing both sensors. They installed 2 Autel sensors, but could not get...

Those do look weird. I got my amber lights on a whim during amazon day and kind of go used to them. You can't see individual LEDs like on yours.

I didn't have much luck contacting the manufacturer on the phone. The store has been more responsive, but I'm not sure if I should just deal with them, and ask for a replacement awning, or deal with the manufacturer directly. Either way, I hope hope to get this resolved soon, without additional...

Recently I purchased a new 270 awning, and the hinge of the the arms snapped off the first time I opened it up on my driveway. Yeah, real bummer... I'm not naming names, but this was not a cheap one, around a grand, plus over a hundred for shipping. I contacted the (well respectable) store I...

I'm not quite sure what measurement you're talking about. But if you already have a different rack and want to make sure Gobi ladder would clear it, my rack starts 1 3/4" away from the start of the roof (or the gap between the tail gate and the roof), at 2 1/4" height above the roof. That's the...

Yep, same door but with a ladder;) I still have the same struts, so far so good...

Lefty, I'm glad I got the removable bars. I took them off already, I actually like the clean look without any center bars, and will only add them when needed. I wasn't crazy about the non-powder coated finish, so I sprayed the bars with Rust Oleum bedliner, it has textured finish that sort of...

I'll probably get these http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/219432-what-best-hd-rear-door-strut-use-ladder.html#post2357991

End of a looong wait So it took over 20 weeks for my rack finally to come in, and here is my write up. If you want the short version, here it is: the rack is worth the wait. Just spent the money, suck it up, add a month or so to your expected date, be patient, and later rather than sooner...

Shipping time to east coast? Supposedly my rack was shipped last week, but seems like it went into a black hole. Gobi is no help, hard to get them to return a phone call. Anyone with a Gobi on the east coast, how long did the transit take? Gobi told me 4-5 days, I figured at least a week...

Is this part of the Trail Duty group buy from the summer/fall? I joined that in early October, and was told by Gobi later that ETA was January. Tried getting more info from Gobi recently without luck. As they say, patience is a virtue;) Apparently the TD group buy saves you a few hundred bucks...

I got my 4runner in September, and a '16 Highlander for my wife last night. Both times I had to sit through long sale pitches for EW and similar add-on coverages. Neither offered to disclose the full cost, just the 'few dollars a month' number. The Higlander full 'premium protection package'...

Two simple mods on my TRDP - painted the scoop insert and skid plate. Used leftover plastic dip for the scoop, took about 6-7 coats. For the skidplate, I used Rustolelum spray-on bed liner, one can was plenty with some leftover for touchups. After that dried I taped off the TRDs letter and...

Finally got to put the Bilsteins to work:bluejump:, and the skid plate too, on NJ pine barren trails. Been raining for a week here, so plenty of mud pits, some were much deeper than expected :tongue:. VERY impressive how the TRDP handles bumps and mud even at decent speed, day and night...

Simple mods: LEDs, PlastiDip Replaced all interior bulbs with this kit, best twenty bucks I ever spent. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HTDFLUY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Map bulbs are a pain to take out. I wrapped some electric tape on the tips of long nose pliers...
