Anyone looking to rid themselves of a factory shift knob? I'm looking for the one from the limited or premium package with the silver trim. If anyone has on for cheap let me know.

I initially wanted the Limited because I wanted Shoreline Blue and the 20" wheels, but I didn't want the extra payment. I enjoy my SR5, but I do wish I had the automatic headlights, dual climate and the smart key that the Limited includes. I traded for the wheels, so I have the same look, but...

The factory Toyota remote started does turn the vheicle off upon entry. They are all that way and I am not sure if you can change that feature. I have a Viper on mine and I can unlock my doors without the engine shuting down, I insert the key and go. However, they all have a pressure...

You can also use #0000 Steel wool or a clay bar as well. But don't use the clay again on your paint. Glass is much dirtier and will scratch the clear coat. I've used both on my glass before with good results. It's possibly just minerals and deposits from water that has been on the glass...

We took a trip over the weekend to Cinncinati to watch the Reds/Brewers game. First road trip over a couple of days in the 4Runner. The trip was great and the 4Runner proved very comfy. Was also impressed with my 24 mpg (computer calculated) on the way out (I reset the trip computer when I...

:iagree: Make sure you also wash from the top down so as not to bring any dirt from the rockers up onto the upper body. Wash from the top to about 2/3 of the door all around, and then wash the bottom 1/3 last. I also use a different bucket for my wheels/tires. But the 2 bucket method is the...

I call the 4Runner Yoda and my wife named her Venza as well. It's name is Vinny Venza. She has named all of her cars she has had over the years.

That is true, but it looks amazing when clean!! I have a black SR5 and I love the look of it, plus it's a 4Runner, so it doesn't matter if it's dirty. I personally like the look of the Trail, but I wouldn't utilize all of the features such as crawl control and the KDSS much at all. As for the...

I'm glad everything worked out for us to trade. Mine look great too. My light came on finally as well, and don't know if it's the new combo or not, but i averaged 23.7 mpg on the way down and back. Not bad for a SUV shaped like a brick. Thanks again...and let me know if you need anything...

There are a couple of things you can try. Always, always start with the least aggressive method first. You don't want to do more damage than is already there. The best method would be as stated above to use a polisher to buff the scratches out. If you don't have one, you can use a compound...

I am aware of the issue with finding tires for the rims, but that isn't a major concern at the moment as I drive my T4R as my daily driver, plus I won't be doing any major mods such as lifts or anything of that nature for quite some time. So I don't have the need really for a larger tire at the...

Below are the pics of my SR5 wheels that I would like to trade.

I'm putting this out there as a feeler, but I'm wanting to trade my SR5 wheels from my 2011 T4R for a set of 20" Limited wheels/tires. The tires are the Bridgestones and have approximately 20K miles on them, still in great shape. The wheels as well are in excellent condition. Never been off...
