This really helped! Thank you. I wasn't able to find a piece of metal that was thin enough. However, from this pic I was able to see what the latch looks like. A few times of just pushing directly over the latch freed it. Thanks again.

Hey All, My wife keeps her iPhone cord rolled up in the bin just below the the HVAC controls that you push to open. I'm not sure how to describe it, as it's not the center console or a "change" holder; it's just storage. Anyways, it's jammed and I can't get it open. I think the cord is...

Since originally posting this, I did indeed seem to fix the problem. My issue was not with the windshield. I ended up removing the running boards to find there is a small drain hole at the rear of the front fender well (behind the mud flap and just above the end of the running board). I also...

Want to get some opinions...here's my situation... My original wheels are oxidized and have michelin cross terrains on them with 34k miles. However they are originals from 2007 and they have some cracking on the sidewalls. I bought new wheels from a guy that had a 2013 tacoma with literrally...

In 2006 they "refreshed" the generation you are looking at... updated headlights, LED tails, little things here and there...someone else will probably be able to comment more on this. Same 4.7L V8 in all that you are searching which is outstanding.

I have corrosion on my existing wheels and was able to pick up some brand new ones from a guy that took them off his 2013 tacoma... I removed the tires off them because I didn't want them, and now I have these new shiny wheels....but I'm not ready to put them on my t4r because my existing tires...

I totally disagree with this. The V8 has a 3.73 rear, body-on-frame construction, transmission cooler, class IV hitch, brake control harness (that I use), ample stopping power, and plenty of weight so the "tail doesn't wag the dog". I wouldn't tow 7000 pounds with it, which Toyota specifies it...

I agree with you all. And my original post is misleading and vague. My trailer in the pic only weighs 3000 pounds completely loaded. But I like to be over cautious, meaning I could have gone with the v6 but like the confidence of the v8. Secondly, I wouldn't tow more than 4700 pounds in the...

I read recently that TRD makes a supercharger for the 5th gens, putting out 304 hp and 334 lbs of torque (more than the v8!). My V8 is rated at 7000....admittedly quite more than I would tow. I really would like to buy a 5th gen eventually, but would need the confidence that its tow rating is...

For the record, I just had this done and the clunk is gone. Stealership tried to pass it off as normal at first, until I brought this TSB to their attention. Job is quick, but part is expensive - about $400 to get it done. Luckily had the CPO warranty and only had to pay $50.

I have a brake controller set up already - should've mentioned that in the original post. I tow a 3000 lb camper now, and it's definite a nice piece of mind to have the brake controller connected. I definitely am the one that rides the right lane to let everyone pass. No hurry when I'm...

Neighbor is looking to sell their travel trailer, which is a 2009 Keystone Outback 210RS. Upon looking at it, I thought the V8 would have no issues, but I want to run the numbers through everyone here first. From reviewing various posts I came up with these numbers... 2007 V8 4Runner SR5: Curb...

The line taps? R.A. ... I appreciate the advice. However, before I took the whole thing apart I tried something... While the light was working yesterday, I had my wife tap on and around the light as I pressed the brake. It didn't flicker or go out at all. Any other thoughts?

The center LED stop light on my spoiler is intermittently working. Brake lights on the taillights work just fine. One moment the spoiler light works, and the next it doesn't. I checked the fuse, and it is good. Maybe I'll change it anyway. There aren't two switches for the taillights and the...

Bought my 07 V8 SR5 last August with 22,500 miles, and it's just about to hit 30k. It was a sleeping beauty when we found it!
