Here’s my Baja ladder. The right side rail going over the top of the spoiler almost contacts the light. Without the light, the rail is about 2 inches from contacting the horizontal rails of the Baja Rack when the hatch is all the way up. From the spoiler to the highest point of the rail is about...

Having gone through this myself, I don’t understand why the dealerships fight us so hard when we describe the groaning/vibration and present the TSB. I was armed with knowledge from the two threads on the needle bearing issue both times I went to the dealer. I had the additional problem that...

In my 2017 SR5, I’ve had the needle bearing issue (at under 10K miles); the radio/navigation unit replaced (~35K miles); the TRD skid plate bolt issue (~20K)

Here’s a blowup of the other photo. I used the brackets that came with the Rigid light pods. As I mentioned, the Southern Style Offroad Slimline bumper had the holes to which I mounted the pods. Let me know if you can’t see what you want and I’ll take an actual photo.

Manfred: can you tell me what front license plate holder that is? Thanks in advance!

When I installed the Southern Style Offroad Slimline bumper and winch, I had to remove my behind the grill light bar - because of interference with the winch control box. I tried putting the light bar in the upper grill position like one of the other posters, but I have the SR5, so the oval...

As I posted earlier in this thread and in another thread addressing this groaning/vibration issue, my problem & resolution was the needle bearing. The groaning/vibration in my 2017 SR5 with 2 in lift and nitto grapplers was most noticeable when it was cold, between 35-40 mph, & would go away in...

Jeff614, I held the skid plate up with my knees and hand to get each of the bolts started. While certainly easier with help of another person or a jack, it was manageable by myself. I think I got the two back bolts started first, then pushed the skid plate up with my hand to start the two front...

I just installed the Southern Style Offroad Slimline bumper and I have the TRD skid plate. There is a small plate that came on the bumper that needed to be removed so the front of the skid plate fits slightly up & behind the bottom edge of the bumper.

1995 Starter Replacement: Update Here is my follow-up for replacing the starter in a 1995 SR5 V6 (3VZ-E engine). After exhaustively searching the internet and watching a multitude of online videos (notably, not finding a thing specifically for the 1995 year), I pieced parts of each together...

Sorry, not a 1st gen, but I bought my 1995 2nd gen brand new off the lot with 35 miles on it. It was my first car purchase. And, my dream car at the time. It has so much sentimental value that I couldn’t get rid of it when I got my 2017 5th gen. At this point, I don’t think I can ever buy...

I have the Cali Raised side projecting pods (in white light) & love them. They are super bright. I have them slightly turned out & the design also casts a nice beam to the side. Very helpful when driving at night & lighting up the road around curves. I installed them after some hairy night time...

Thanks Giro. I have the extension(s) ready as I’ve seen described, and that you mention, to get the top connector. I think I can get the bottom connector with a gear wrench as an alternative to a socket wrench. What I do not find in anything I’ve seen/read is navigating the super-narrow spaces...

I am trying to remove & replace the old starter. I’ve watched & read everything I can find but nothing I’ve seen or read pertains exactly to a 1995. I’ve seen & read about this procedure for 1993, 1994, 1996, etc., but haven’t found anything on the 1995. I am finding that the differences that I...

I installed the Cali Raised LED 27W side-projecting pods with the Cali Raised Low Profile Ditch Light brackets (I ordered the combo option of the wiring harness, pods, & switch). I haven’t noticed any noise and their brightness matches well with my Rigid grill-mounted light bar. I aimed them so...
