    Whining Noise From Engine

    Mine has the same noise, started around 55K and I am currently at 125K. It does not seem to change as the miles keep going on. I tried to chase it down for a year or so and then gave up. Wish I knew for sure what it was!

    Canoes and Kayaks on roof

    I use a 8' long rack for my surf ski. Works great. I have to take the arms off the rack to get into my garage, so far I have only forgotten once.

    Backup camera intermittent

    I am still having a problem with the backup camera. The other day I did the mod to add a switch. My issue is still there. Sometimes the camera works as intended, on in reverse. When this is working I can use the switch to activate it at any time. Other times, the camera will not work in...

    Backup camera intermittent

    bumping this up to see if anyone has found a solution for the intermittent backup camera. I am going to start the mod for a switch next month when I have some time...but until then.

    Backup camera intermittent

    I am having the same issue with my 2010 limited. The last few weeks the backup camera has not been working every time. Hopefully someone has a solution.

    Rear Liftgate Struts Blown

    Interesting thought. My summer camp is on a dirt road with lots of traffic. Over the past year I have been working there a lot and leave the hatch open about half of the time. There is dust all over the place. My replacements just arrived today. As soon as my wife gets home from work we will...

    Rear Liftgate Struts Blown

    On vacation this weekend I went to get some stuff out of the back of the 4Runner. Thought I must have water skied too much! I could not lift the hatch. Looks like my struts went out too. 48000 mi. Thanks SocalTrail for the mod...new ones are on order. Glad I don't have to pay the toyota...

    Boat Trailering grab and go duffle - what'd ya got in yours?

    You might want to bring a trailer wiring adapter or extension. The plug is located way off to the left. Many of the trailers I have towed are too short to reach over there, so I keep an extension in the back.

    Towing experiences with your 5th Generation

    We tow our boat around all summer with no problems. The 4runner tows much better than the Trailblazer it replaces. More HP/TQ would not hurt when towing, but I prefer the fuel economy savings.

    Removed the Rear Sliding Tray-5TH Gen Limited

    Great work taking out the rear tray!! I have only one thing that won't fit into my 4runner with the tray in. My beer kegorator is about 1 inch too tall...i move it twice a year to and from our summer cottage. I use the slide out tray for my audio recording equipment, it works perfectly. I...

    Anyway to have remote unlock all doors 1 push?

    I tried this today. Worked perfectly!! I now have to look into how to get my wife's camry to do the same thing. She has the standard key fob. I have always been annoyed by having to push the button twice to unlock all of the doors...NO LONGER!

    Would you rather have a 2010 Limited.....

    No question. Limited. I took a look at both of them and like the design/interior on the limited much more. The best feature is the slide out cargo tray. I haul lots of equipment all the time for work and loading the 4runner is so easy!

    remove cargo divider

    I will also be looking into removing this divider. I often haul items that need to be somewhat flat in the back of the vehicle. I moved a bureau the other day and it was a pain having it balance on the divider. Hopefully it is not too hard to remove as like it for everyday use.
