The paint on the roof of my '18 is failing. For context, I live in Florida and my 4R is parked outside so it gets a lot of sun, but I try to wax at least twice a year. Noticed the paint while I was putting my cargo carrier up on the roof rack for a recent road trip. The paint under the cross...

That's what I'm hoping

Tried that, twice and I even spent the $ on the good permatex stuff. Permatex 24125 Ceramic Extreme Brake Parts Lubricant

Thanks. We're not talking about it even sitting over night, it can sit for a few hours and still do it. Followed the bed in procedures and like I said they didn't do it for a few weeks. Good call on the friction material. I bought a premium brand of pad but they weren't a high performance...

Found these, maybe I'll give them a try. Just a moment...

Interesting. I seem to recall the factory pads had a metal back that pulled away when I removed them. The current pads I have, have the same thing.

Hi everyone, first let me start by saying I've done dozens of brake jobs and I've had a couple where they squeaked a bit afterwards, but never like this. Usually the resolution has been to lubricate the moving parts and a thorough cleaning of the caliper, but not in this case. At about 48K my...

Went to open the rear hatch today and saw what I thought was a piece of debris in the channel of the weather strip at the base of the window. Turned out to be a piece of the weather strip itself. Gave it a pull and half the weather strip peeled right off with almost no effort. My 4R is parked...

Over the years I've changed brakes on more vehicles then I can recall, but as we all know every brake job is a little different. The 4Runner was getting on about 45K so I figured it was probably time. Everything went relatively smoothly until I went for a test drive. Was hearing a terrible...

Motivx here as well. Like others I had upgraded to the metal housing a couple oil changes ago and you practically don't need the tool if the housing isn't overtightened.

This may be a dumb question, but did you have the battery tested?

On my 2018 4R, the top of the license plate has always been visible. Pretty sure that's just the way it is.

I've been happy with the offroam unit in my 4R. Wasn't sure about the location, but the arm is infinitely adjustable and once it gets tightened no rattles.

ok, so it's not just me..good to know. When did the site change where the page is split down the middle everywhere with ads? I makes reading any of the threads a real PITA.

x3 on motor oil..I've rebuilt/swapped numerous injectors in my day(not for Toyotas) and that's all I ever use. Only need a drop.
