Hi Dan, that's actually very normal. Though they do spray the underbody with a protectant, these vehicles are shipped, over a very large ocean and sit for quite a while before being purchased. There are mixed reviews on spraying your underbody with wd-40 or similar products, but it really does...

What sucks is the limited isn't allowed because of tire size =p

they get a lot more than that. Philly, there are 2 versions of the tc switch in the prado - download the toyota jamaica brochure and flip through it to see them. One doesn't have the air suspension/leveling

How about the prado 150's switches? Check out the south american toyota website. Most of the interior is identical to the 5th gen. Makes me think the mid-year refresh will bring back rear a/c/heat.

I was being a tool. The 4R limited wheels are 7" wide. Even that's rediculous, let alone on a vehicle weighing 1k more.

Wait, 2012's tell you it's a tissue box? I don't think mine says it. You have a pencil holder? Huh, never noticed!

Although they're similar, they're not the same. Besides, what company would be dumb enough to put a 7" wide wheel on a 6000lb truck? =p errr... The split spoke that looks like the limiteds are 18", the older years had a painted split spoke that looked even closer to the toyota wheel too.

Also, I think i've seen several people that had the dealer replace there roof mounted receivers complaining of bad signal. Search.

That's weird, I went on a trip to Savannah - lost signal under every overpass and everywhere downtown. In Ohio, I only lose the signal stuck in traffic under an overpass.

try locking your car, waiting a min then walking up to it. Or lock it. They also turn on if you're not within smart key range and unlock the doors with the remote.

Are your lights on/dimmer switch down? I have no problems even with direct light as long as the display isn't dimmed. An antiglare screen probably won't help, it's already a matte finish.

Hoping for some advice/comments, thanks. Big thanks to RDG178 for sending me his busted taillight! I know they're plastic welded, my attempts to dremel and use a hotknife to cut the lense off didn't work - and wouldn't look the best when reassembled. Here are some pics, i've ordered some new...

I swapped my own, wouldn't even consider letting the stealer do it :) Thanks though!

Spotted in downtown Asheville Pretty sure i've seen in somewhere on here.
