    '18 4Runner front brakes squeaking after brake job

    Shim Kit will likely fix this. I had a similar issue with Toyota oem pads when installed without shims.

    Roof Rack Cross Bars

    Rhino-Rack I've had a Rhino-Rack for 8 years on my 4Runner and it still looks new. No wind noise, no rust, all the rubber and plastic parts are in great shape. Just an overall great roof rack IMO. Toyota | 4Runner | Roof Racks & Accessories | Rhino-Rack US

    Differential fluid Mobil 1 75w/90

    I just did my rear diff with Valvoline 75w90, full synthetic. Comes in easy FlixFill squeeze containers. Made the job super easy and my mpg's have also improved. Could be the summer gas for mpg's but they have definitely improved right after the fluid change. Just a moment...

    VIN # Question?

    What's in the Vehicle Identification Number? | DataOne Software. The way I understand it is it basically works like a sequence of numbers work in a credit card number. If you just put in random numbers any credit card sofware will know if it's legit or not.

    TPMS Sensors

    On my 2013 I just replaced one sensor with Denso 550-0103, 315 MHz Sensor for $30. Replaced it myself breaking down the tire with a jack and some tie straps. Programmed the TPMS with Techstream. Everything works fine and didn't cost much.

    Front rubber fender well splash shields squeaking

    I purchased a roll of thicker rubber from Grainger and replaced the front passenger side one that seems to keep tearing every few years. Also made the replacement splash guard slightly larger for better coverage. I may end up replacing all of them this way. This may be a solution for your...

    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    I don't have a US flag on my side window, but I do have one in my hitch plug. I believe Ford is still mainly assembled in US. Many if not most Chevy trucks are assembled in Mexico. I appreciate seeing a US flag on anything, in my opinion not enough people display it however it's done.

    brake flush

    Only the rear brakes will do this. You will have to have someone pump the brake pedal for the front and bleed a little at a time. Still an easy thing to do with someone helping you.

    Coolant overflow tank cap seeps

    My 2013 has done this since New. Never changed the cap and never had any issues, just maybe add a little coolant once a year or so.

    Oil Change Interval Poll

    10k intervals using TMO 0w20 until recently. Now doing it at 7.5k intervals with 167k on the odometer. Runs like it did when it was brand new.

    Non KDSS Shocks?

    Are OEM front shocks and springs same for non KDSS and KDSS suspension? Looking to replace my current coilovers with used ones that have 1200 miles on them but it says "KDSS compatible" in the description.
