My wife and I just purchased her a new-to-us 2010 RAV4 Limited on Saturday. When checking it out at the dealership we popped the fuel door with the lever to make sure that worked, but didn't open it all the way. When we went to fill up the car the fuel door will not open all the way. Thankfully...

riceandpho, to your comment about going with what you know, the biggest reason I was going to go with Infinity Reference is because I ran those in a previous vehicle and enjoyed them. That being said, I'm just a novice/everyday listener, not a major audiophile. I just want better quality than...

I was at a couple of our local car audio places today getting some quotes on car audio setups. I was originally planning to go with Infinity Reference coaxial speakers (6.5" front/5.25" back door), but the second shop I went to is owned by someone who sells Infinity, JBC, JVC, Polk, etc. but who...

I know it's not what you want to hear, but you're gonna have to be patient. They're out there and one will come along. Just have to wait for it. I searched for at least three months, made plenty of calls/sent plenty emails, and test drove different ones before I found mine on Craigslist. I was...

Welcome to the forum! It's cool seeing so many new NC members.

It looks great NCjeffro and welcome to the forum. I'm in Belmont (just outside of Charlotte) but I bought my 4Runner from a guy in Winnabow/Leland just outside of Wilmington where it spent it's entire life until this spring.

Howdy from a couple hours west. If the timing belt has already been changed and everything else mechanical checks out (especially valve cover gaskets) I'd say go for it IF the price is right and you're ok with the body damage. If you haven't already I'd do some research on what it would cost...

Yup. I made that video with the truck off, key turned to the "on" position, fan off, temp turned all the way to cold, and the vents turned to "up" (top vents only). Yeah, I read that as well. Was it this one? Grinding/clicking under dash - air mix servo - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and...

I'm getting this strange noise from my dash/glovebox area when the key is turned to the on position or the vehicle is on and running. It sounds like an old desktop computer or an electric motor struggling to cycle. I wonder if it's the air mix servo. Any input would be appreciated. Here's the...

Thanks for the follow-up Unner. I thought we did adjust the shoes all the way out. We got them to where when we spun the drum they were dragging just ever so slightly. We backed it up a lot right after having it done to get them to self-adjust. I'm hoping they just didn't all the way. I wonder...

I did the 231mm 13WL Tundra brake upgrade with the help of an old friend. I used NAPA Eclipse calipers, NAPA Premium rotors, and Adaptive One pads. While we were at it we did the rear brakes too. My parking/emergency brake isn't working now, but I'm hoping it's because the shoes haven't...

Congrats! Nice truck. I almost bought a 2001 SR5 with that same color scheme. Ended up in a solid Imperial Jade Mica 2001 Sport instead. Great to hear that you're already diving into the basic maintenance. Enjoy!

I understand where you're coming from, but I asked specifically when dealing with Rock Auto as I've never dealt with them. I wouldn't expect the guy behind the counter at NAPA to inspect the dirty calipers in the box. I didn't know if anyone had experience with Rock Auto being any more...

I know many of you on here use Rock Auto for your replacement/maintenance parts. I was talking with a mechanic friend last night about my impending brake upgrade and he too recommended going through Rock Auto. I've never used them, but their prices are great! For those that have used them, what...

Just wanted to ensure I'm getting the right stuff before doing the 231mm Tundra brake conversion. Could yall confirm I have all the right parts? Brake Rotor Only - Front - Premium (x2) Part Number: NB 4886931 NAPA AUTO PARTS Brake Pads - Front, Adaptive One - Ceramic Part Number: ADO AD7877...
