    Check your fairing!

    I've been fretting about the paint scratching issue since antman's original post but after not finding the clear vinyl at the first two auto shops i got lazy and took no action. Fast forward to last week when i noticed mud running out from behind the gobi fairing after a car wash and decided I...

    Anyone do brakes yet on their 5th Gen?

    Curious... I've had a noticeable shimmy since about 22,000 miles. Dealer looked at the issue at 25,000 said no warranty on warped rotors and recommended a brake job. Pads still look fine.

    Floor mats

    I'd second that. I've had the Toyota rubber mats for about 2 years and 20k miles. They are worn smooth in spots, curled up at the corner, and tearing at the mounting hook. I like to point it out when I'm in for service and tech checks off that he inspected the floor mats.

    I haven't looked at the hatch... but what about installing your own pin switch.

    Creeking noise while driving on bumpy roads

    Got Sliders? I've had a creak since I installed my Rocky Road Sliders. I think it is the slider rubbing agianst some of the plastic trim or mud flaps. Or it might just be I didn't get all the bolts torqed enough.

    Rhino Runner Cargo Drawer

    Wow, nice drawer setup! I too have been saving photos and trying to decide on the right design to be able to keep the OEM slideout tray, which in addition to dog access makes a fantastic diaper changing station. I find myself loading tall items into the back on a regular basis and need to be...

    cargo organizer TE with sliding tray...

    I like the idea of drawers for the hidden storage but I am spoiled to having the sliding tray for the kid's diaper changes and tailgating... even if it does block the antman cupholders! Has anyone tried using the factory tray as a template and made a plywood tray for more secure anchor...

    Jangoforhire's Build and Pictures

    Relay Box I have one of WiredWagon's boxes but want to add a second. I've been looking at Waytek Wiring. They have the boxes and all the fuses, relays, connectors and plugs. I haven't done the price comparison but all the piece parts are fairly inexpensive.

    Sequential Shift is BACKWARDS!!!

    I disagree... My first test drive in a BMW was a disaster as I was used to the backwards push to upshift and pull to downshift and managed to throw the salesman in to the dash with a poorly timed downshift! The Passat, Jetta and Montero I previously drove all had the backwards shifting. Porsche...

    Same here, doesn't matter to me. I'd like to see the practice area, even though, North entrance is technically closer for me.

    October Meet - 14th @ Gorman

    Just called Hungry Valley District office. I was told the parking lot at the North Entrance Visitor Center is a good spot to meet and when we come in we'll get a better map than what's online. Apparently it will tell us trail difficulty ratings and classifies trails as 2/4wd or bike trails.

    Group Buy - Aussie Battery Tray

    PM sent. Have your girl let me know what you need. And for the record guys I thought the reason we had 4runners was to get away from it all every now and then. Two days and my battery tray is up for auction?
