Thanks for the info. For the sealer part I didn’t see anything in your link about the long rubber seal part. Just the orange clips. Just want to make sure I’m reading what you put down correctly. I was assuming the seal is a roll that is rubber with a sticky outside all around for when you clip...

Thanks for the response gents. Trying to post the pics. Second one you can see the gap and the scratch where they popped it off the side where I assume he used a plastic pry bar deal to NOT scratch it. FAIL. You can push it and there is ton of play. There was lots of play all down the back...

Just got back into a T4R. Used 16’ with under 13k on it. Very clean. Asked for a small repair to the plastic trim piece over front left wheel well. Looks like there was a scratch on it and they likely popped it off to repaint. When that occurred the rubber seal that goes around the entire...

Thanks for responses. Maybe I didn't have the drop in the seat all the way down. Will try that next time I test drive before I get all the detail figured out. Still trying to decide if I want the T4R or Tacoma TRD OR.

Bringing this one back. I've tried to search and only found this thread. I recently test drove a 2014 today. The drivers seat seemed to sit higher/closer to the steering wheel and the steering wheel didn't seem to tilt as high as my 4th gen does. I'm 6'4" with long legs. The 2014 seems to...

You should try Germain Toyota albeit out of the way for most here in town. Ask for Mike who has the modded out FJ to do your work from now on. They have treated me well there in the past after tons of issues with my brakes and whatnot and didn't nickel and dime me and Mike knows his way around...

DC, Thanks again for your help with things. They ended up putting on the new pads and the part number came up being pads for the Sequoia I believe. They are a pad that had a cranberry type body to them. They definitely looked bigger from looking inside the wheel well. No noise the past two...

Hard to tell exactly what you're experiencing, but I had a similar noise happen to me about a month ago where I thought it was the brakes or something grinding. I got a weird rubbing/rattling noise when at lower RPMs. My situation was a rusted out pipe connecting my resonator to the muffler. The...

DC: Thank you sir for your insight and info. Well just as an update I went to the dealer today after calling them last night to inform the Assistant Service Manager who've I've been dealing with that the problem is back. They told me today that the master tech named Mike put more brake...

Yeah I saw that thread as well. My issue you are correct is when I actually engage the break petal. The grease or whatever they did the first time did stop the noise. If that is the answer how hard would that be to do myself? What kind of lubricant should be used and would I have to take wheel...

I was hoping to pick the brains of some of the folks here. Back in April of this year I had some breaking issues and thought the pads had finally worn out. Unfortunately, my only option was the dealership due to needing my car for a 1500 mile round trip I was to be leaving for in 24 hours...

Why wouldn't he be? Many folks have them for numerous reasons. I bought one from a mother of a friend of mine who is 13B so she could raise money to send gift packages to his platoon. I know they are somewhat more popular now, but good old 550 is like Duct Tape. A million and one uses!

If you're just going to plink with it then I'd say go ahead, but if you actually care that your weapon works when you need it to and adheres to the TDP and is built correctly (i.e. mil spec etc) then don't waste your money. You'll thank me later!

I don't recall the specific bulb numbers. You can probably look in the manual or have the service guy pull up the pic with bulbs at the dealership. I think each bulb is like $4. Just make sure they give you the right kind for there are a few different ones. Below is a link you can use to...

It's really easy to change the bulbs in your display that go out. I'm no mechanic at all and it took me 10 minutes to buy the bulbs from the service department (make sure you have them show you the diagram on their computer so you don't have to make a second trip back to the guy in service...
