    Another Bilstein 5100 question

    There would be no issue with that. That being said, why don't you just grab a set off eBay or Amazon like these?: Bilstein 33-187174 Set of 2 Rear Shocks for 03-15 GX470/4Runner/FJ Cruiser | eBay

    Does Your Top Windshield Seal Look Like This?

    Thanks guys! I suppose I'll put some masking tape on that gap and take it for a spin, just to rule it out. I used to be against bug deflectors too... until a rock bashed my hood right there. I touched up the missing paint, so the bug deflector pretty much serves to cover up the dent. One of...

    Does Your Top Windshield Seal Look Like This?

    The seal or the noise, haha?

    Does Your Top Windshield Seal Look Like This?

    I'm trying to chase down a whistling wind noise, and it occurred to me that it started happening around the same time I had my windshield replaced. I also have an AVS bug deflector, but that was put on long after the windshield was replacement (next step will be to remove that and test once I...

    Need some battery advice...

    My vote is for Costco Interstate. Great price and no questions asked replacement within first 2 years.

    Windshield Wiper recommendations

    OEM refills from the Toyota dealer in your stock holders. Inexpensive, easy to change, and work better than others I've tried.

    NOCO Power Plug Install. Ideas before cutting?

    Thanks! I like your solution too - blends in nicely and doesn’t look out of place. One other great thing about yours is that you can use it anywhere you have a 120V outlet. My charger gets left at home so I’m out of luck if I want to charge somewhere else.

    NOCO Power Plug Install. Ideas before cutting?

    Looks like you got it figured out, but I went this route for my 4A battery tender (page 3 shows it): Battery Tender for 4Runner? I 3D printed a power port that mounts directly in my grille, with no cutting needed. The port also allows me to plug my little Viair compressor in directly to power...

    Windshield ticks, creaks, noises

    Just wanted to add in another potential reason and solution to a windshield tick. I've been chasing this one for over a year now and I finally got fed up enough with it to really look into the problem. This particular ticking noise was in the lower driver's side of the dash/windshield, and was...

    New Cup Holder Inserts? Stock Ones Are Too Grippy

    How thick are those? I've used some of this liner which works pretty well for things like that: Amazon.com - Duck Non-Adhesive Shelf Liner Solid Grip EasyLiner, 20-inch x 6 Feet, Black - Really handy stuff for all sorts of things.

    New Cup Holder Inserts? Stock Ones Are Too Grippy

    Now that you mention this, I'm similarly annoyed by how grippy the are. May just have to design some up and print them out of PETG or TPU (still flexible, but not grippy). If I do, I'll post up the STL file.

    what an unbelievable difference! - kappa 3.5 dash speakers

    Sorry, just noticed this! Here's the link to the files: PrusaPrinters I also included the STEP file which will be much easier to edit than an STL which is a mesh file.

    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    Great, glad to hear the mic mount worked out OK! Nice job on the DMX1057RX install - looks awesome!

    My Basic Stereo Build - 2012 Limited

    Just a little update here. The system has been performing great and I'm highly satisfied with the amount of money I spent. That being said, the Kenwood KSC-SW11 sub under the passenger seat isn't quite doing it for me. I've now got an Infinity Kappa 1200W 12" sub for the back and an Alpine...

    Investing more into 2010 or buy new/newer?

    Absolutely this. I owned an '18 TRD ORP previously, and then decided to keep the wife's '12 for myself when she wanted a new vehicle. They are the same truck - not worth changing it up unless you've just got money to burn.
