My 2011 does it too. It was fine until about 9K miles, then the brake pedal travels further down and makes a squish/squirt 'sound'. Drove me nuts. I have 3 cars and when I go back to the 4runner, the deep pedal travel makes my heart jump sometimes on a mild emergency braking as I thought I...

UPDATE (07-28-2011): My brake pedal travel before it engages seems to change from time to time. The time span between these changes are not immediate [EDIT: i.e. it will be about a day or a week or even longer for each change]. There will be times where it's perfect; not deep at all before I...

I have 2011 Limited too and the brake pedal feels deep before it engages. When I do normal braking, I hear a 'shoosh' sound thing first, then pedal travels like half way before floor, then I feel good braking. Not smooshy or spongy though. If I do one or two pumps, then brake pedal is a lot...

Hey Cat 85. I want to get wider tires too as the stock 245 on Limited is pretty thin especially if viewed from back. But I don't really want to lift. Was the rubbing pretty bad or is it doable? Also, your finished pictures are 2.5" lift in back and 2" lift in front? Thanks!

Went to Pep Boys and asked parts guy to pull locking gas cap for 2011 4Runner; none showed. Asked him to pull 2010 model and it shows Stant 11504 (not 10504). I'm thinking 11504 is the newer model or more specific model for 4Runner. Price is $14.99. Been using it for 5 days, so far so good...

Any other people experiencing this noise? Just want to really make sure all 4Runners do it and is normal. So far, noise descriptions I've read are: - like wobbly WRRR WRRR WRRR sound - like a two gears turning on each other, but with half of the gear broken and so it makes wobbly WRRR WRRR...

After seeing your pics on how you installed the bug shield/deflector (clips only), how it goes/folds all the way down and inside the hood, and the link to the product. I am convinced I'll buy that exact one. One of my friends bought one for Tacoma with just seeing little reviews / pics. It...

Thank you all. Yes, it changed between unlocking all doors when I grab the driver door handle and unlocking the driver side only. Wireless key remains the same though... still has to press unlock twice to unlock all doors. And yes, tried openning back window via wireless key and it didn't work...

Sorry if this was asked before, but I searched and I could not find it. When I press & hold both the Lock and Unlock buttons on my Smart Key for about 5 seconds, it will do two "beep-beeps". When I do the same thing again, it will do three "beep-beeps". It will cycle through 2 "beep-beeps", then...

Just got 2011 4Runner Limited with Full-Time 4WD. So excited to join here and I've already found a lot of good info. Thanks to all!
