Thanks for the responses so far. Not excited about potentially needing to replace it, but I can definitely save cost doing the work myself (I've handled worse). Is it worth trying to seal the leak, or just replacing? The hissing does sound like it's coming from below and to the left, but it's...

So I recently noticed a hissing sound while I was driving. High pitched, almost inaudible inside the car while the engine is running. As it turns out, it's appears to be coming from the brake booster in the engine compartment. After it charges, you can hear a quite noticeable hiss that decreases...

Went ahead and got a polish kit from Walmart (Rain-X brand) and I'm actually quite surprised with how well it turned out. We'll see how long they last. Better than paying $100/ea for new lenses.

Take a look at the Pathfinder AT tires at Discount. I've had mine for six months or so and I'm loving them so far. Pathfinder AT | America's Tire They also have the three-peak snow logo on the sidewall, so they should be great for winter driving.

TL;DR - Swapped from Michelin Defender LTX M/S to Pathfinder AT and am quite happy with the change. -- I'm not running a lift (yet) or custom wheel/tire sizes (still running 265/70-17), but I did just switch up tire brands and am thrilled with the results. When I bought the T4R, it had...

Prior to getting the T4R, my daily driver was a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4x4 with the 4.0 L6. I loved it. Bought it at 112k and sold it 12 years later at 250k. My 07 SR5 is definitely a step up in just about every way (though I did like the solid front axle of the Jeep), most importantly...

This is definitely on my to-do list, though I'm taking care of the exterior lighting first. Do you notice any flicker or anything with the Sylvanias? Does the dome light fade in/out like the factory bulb does?

Just picked it up from the shop (two days ago, so not exactly today) after having the liftgate replaced. The factory gate was developing rust under the paint, so I took it to a local body shop for a repair quote. Turns out the liftgate had previously been repaired by them after a rear-end...

I'm actually in the market for new headlamps since mine are incredibly foggy, so I'm glad I stumbled across this thread. I'm curious about two things: Any reason you settled on the TYC over other brands? They all mostly look the same, so just wondering if there's a secret here I need to know...
