Mine was caused by the ladder moving around bouncing up and down inside the tent. Secured the ladder better and no noise.

Thanks for the response. The oil change that was synthetic says "synthetic" 0w20 on the receipt. The other receipts say "premium" 5w20. The cost per quart is also about $4.00 less on the premium receipts. I was too stupid to actually bother reading the receipts until this week when I went to...

I've been taking my 2010 Trail to the Toyota dealer next to my work for the last couple oil changes. I just noticed they used 0w20 synthetic the 1st time, as I had being using. However, the last two times its looks like they have used regular 5w20. I don't care much about 0w20 vs 5w20, but is...

This isn't my area of expertise, but I watched this video a while ago, I thought it might help answer some questions. Or maybe not, who knows. It is for Tacomas/4runners. What to do When You Break Your CV or Tie Rod Off Road

I think this video gives a pretty comprehensive list for Toyota trucks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uftN7F5Xqvg&t=1s

I had a similar problem in my 2010 Trail. For me it was only when I was at low speeds, often when turning a corner in a residential area, I would take the corner hit the gas and it took a second for it to get going and shift gears. There was a technical service bulletin for it. They updated some...

Are the frontrunner cross beams movable? For my Prinsu rack I moved one of the cross bars and then mounted them in the t-slots with carriage bolts, washers, and wingnuts, as well as a security nut on one of the bolts. I think it was $35ish with almost all of that being the security nut.

Hi All, looking for some help with my roof top tent (iKamper mini) and roof rack (prinsu full no drill) on my 2010 Trail. I have the tent mounted using the prinsu feet. There is a lot of noise coming from the rack or tent when driving. It isn't wind noise or whistling, but a sort of creaking or...

I went with a 4" thick piece of foam and had a fabric cover made for it. I was fortunate enough to find a local place to do it. If I were to do it again I'd probably go 6" thick, but overall it has been pretty good. I'm 6'7" so I have to take the back seats out and slide the driver/passenger...

I had the pink milkshake about 12,000km (7500miles) ago. I don't drive a lot so that was about 14 months ago. I don't think I caught it quick, by the time I figured it out the transmission was slipping and the radiator overflow had overflown with that nice milky pink liquid. I had it towed to a...

I get about 265 miles per 15 gallons, maybe 65% highway. My 4runner is stock.

Hi all, I wanted to start out with a thank you to everyone on this forum. Due to some incredibly lucky timing on my part, as well as the information on this forum, I was able to save my transmission a couple months ago. My car suffered a radiator leak and was in the earliest stages of a pink...
