OK so I finally got around to taking care of this. I dremeled the rust out, but there were a couple of specs I just couldn't get at as my grinding stone wore out and I didn't want to close the gate to go to home depot as I was afraid I would not be able to re-open it. But I think this is good...

dweh54 Thanks for your message. I have no idea what that is but I will put some rubber in between after I dremel and paint next week. I appreciate the idea. Thanks.

Will have to do this it seems. Thanks.

I drive a 2014 T4R with 111k miles. I'm original owner. First 6 years the car was in New Jersey, with frequent winter trips to ski country in Vermont. Last year the car has been in florida. Yesterday I was researching an issue with an intermittently working backup camera, and a thread here...

I've been having this intermittently working camera issue for a few months. Recently I took apart the dash to check the connection in the aftermarket head unit, and it was good. I came here to search and found this thread, and just did this to my 14 T4R. I can't say that the connection was...

Hey all, just wanted to share. I have visited this shop twice and couldn't be happier with the service. It's a small shop, one lift, one mechanic, and he's only been open about a year. The guy, Juan, does excellent work at very fair prices. Today he replaced my spark plugs (I have 100k miles on...

The search function here is not very good. Are there any write ups on how to remove the OEM tow hitch on a 5th gen? Mine has a lot of rust and I want to sand it and paint it. Thanks!

Yes, Toyota has the reputation of building cars and trucks that last 300k miles or more. And for the most part, they only thing these cars ask for is oil, filter, tires and brakes. But if and when they ask for something more, it is very expensive. I had an extended warranty in my FJ Cruiser...

It’s not just the lights. Like I said, the speedometer went to zero while I was on the highway.

Was on the highway Friday night driving to Vermont, when all of a sudden the lights in the dash all blinked. The speedometer went to 0 for a split second, then everything lit up again. The rest of the lights were ok (stereo, headlights, etc.). WTF could that have been? A couple of months ago...

I’ve bought it two from gamesers context. Both showed up. First is for my ‘’14 T4R, second is for my wife’s ‘19 Rav4. Different guy 4 years apart but same dealership. I used the warranty last month on the T4R. Has 93k miles at this point and front right caliper had broken. Got it replaced at...

Thanks for your post and picture. Which size is your motion XT? They have Sport, L, XL and XXL sizes.

Thank you both. I don’t want to buy new crossbars and am looking for a larger box. KWSRStorm do you have the force Xt installed on yours? Thanks!

I'm looking for a thule or yakima roof top cargo carrier that mounts on the factory crossbars. The thule and yakima webpages are useless, as I can't imagine between the two of them they only make one carrier that fits, and it's the small useless one at that. Anyone out there have one installed...

What have people paid to replace the belt? Unfortunately, I don't trust the service department at the dealer near my job. Every time I go in for an oil change, they want to do loads of work on my car. Guy says the belt is 'glazed'. Car has 90k miles on it. Northern NJ, wants $302 for the work...
