Mark86, in TX we are limited to a 35% front window tint. How come the Limited windows look equally dark? Is it an optical illlusion because you are looking into the vehicle and away from the light source? What degree of tint is used on the Limited front windows?

I knew that I would think of something else as soon as I hit reply: how improving the rear window function on the remote to work like garage door opener, letting you lower, stop, and raise the rear window?

Overall, I am really impressed with the quality and tightness of my SR5, but based on 4 1/2 months with it, I would like to see the following improvements: 1.) fix the non-power driver's seat problems or make power seats standard in all trim levels!!! 2.) equal tint on front seat windows...

04 bought 12/11/03 doing 10K service this weekend (4/16/04)! lots of local trips in TX ;):

Funny, I have an 04 brochure and don't see any graphs in it. On the inside back cover, it shows a publication #? of PT4-009(7/03) and a Toyota part #? of 00617-004RU.

When severely flexing the suspension off-road, I have noticed a creaking noise from the left rear. Sounds like a bushing in the rear suspension. Never hear it in on-road situations, so I have not checked into it. I had a similar noise on my '97 F-150 and it turned out that the body mount...

The V6 has uses radiator return water to cool the engine oil. The heat exchanger is below the filter mount. I am not aware of a separate air cooler for engine oil on the V6.

windshield question I had some metal debris kick up from the tollway and crack my hood deflector, scratch the hood to bare metal and scratch the windshield. Insurance is replacing the deflector and windshield and filling/painting the hood. The glass shop says that there are two kinds of...

I leave my double decker down while driving around home with the Husky liner over it. When travelling, I find it easier to pack with the double decker up. Suitcases are held in place nicely by the cargo net and odds and ends fit under the shelf. The Husky is a little long with the double...

XM and Stock Radio Anyone know if there is an add-on to put XM on the stock audio system?

I read in the alarm manual that hitting the lock button twice turns off the headlights, but mine does not work. Is this a programmable function like the headlight auto off delay time? I have the port "package alarm", not R3200.

I agree that the CHMSL on the factory spoiler looks a lot better. If you did go with a port/dealer spoiler, couldn't you order the body insert and replace the original body mounted CHMSL with it? I guess if you had to pay to have it painted that might get expensive, but at least it would be...

Husky makes a cargo liner for 4th Gen. Be sure to order the correct version - with or without double decker storage shelf. Never heard of a ski rack here in Houston.:D

NoDak, I just looked in the service manual to confirm my memory. The pressure monitor is part of the valve stem which is attached to the wheel with a washer and nut on the outside. The grommet that you mentioned in an earlier post is the seal around the valve stem and mounts on the inside of...

if you replace the rims, can't you just move the old pressure sensors to the new rims? am I missing something?
