I just did the puddle light LED upgrade and was surprised to see that there is a drain hole in each mirror.

Steel spare is what's up there. It's going in shortly for the air bag recall, and I've got an extended Toyota bumper to bumper warranty, so I'll leave it in their hands to fix it.

Came on last night, yet all tires are at 35psi. Is there a sensor in the spare by chance? Do these sensors have batteries that need to be replaced every so many years? 2013 SR5 75K miles. On one had I'm glad I wasn't changing a tire in the pouring rain on the side of 287 here in NJ last night.

Just got a notice that my 2013 was recalled due to defective airbags. :mod: Anybody else getting notified?

Anybody have some tips in removing the spoiler from the tailgate? My garage door took a bite out of mine.:help:

The adjuster can only write what he sees, the body shop will find everything that was damaged (if there's more) when they put the truck up on the frame rack. Being it was hit on the wheel, the body shop will probably check the truck's tracking via a 4 wheel alignment. If there's anything out...

In for the o-ring vote, been there, done that!! What a mess.

Warm engine, not hot! Simple Green, a big sponge to get the inner fenders clean, then a rinse and most importantly, a blow dry with your leaf blower. Mist it with your favorite dressing and it will look showroom new.

Be the O-ring on the oil filter assembly isn't in the groove. Been there, done that !!

When the suspension was installed last summer they did get the caster to 3.8. I'm coming off stock Bridgestone tires, which tracked OK on the highway. I'll have the alignment checked again, I think it should track better with these Michelins. No input on the clunk? Seems to be pronounced...

Truck has the TRD springs and shocks (For FJ) installed. I just had the Michelin LTX's installed and an alignment done. Didn't get the print out so I don't know the exact settings. Truck seems to track OK, doesn't pull but seems to wonder a bit on the highway. It was windy this weekend and...

Open up those vents !!! The more you close, the more restriction you're putting on the blower, which of course gives less air flow. You can't expect the blower to push the same amount of air through 2 vents that it's capable of pushing through 6. LET IT BLOW !!!!! On a 90 degree hot humid...

Resetting the ECU will only clear error codes. The ECU is constantly monitoring air fuel ratios and many other parameters and making adjustments continuously to achieve the required preset A/F ratio. Resetting it will do nothing to it's operation. If you have a drop in mpg, look elsewhere to...

Couldn't agree more! The ride is more controlled yet remains very smooth. In my opinion, the truck should have rode like this from day one. A much better suspension over stock.

Installed the kit today. Had the struts assembled prior with new KYB top hats. Took maybe 2-1/2 hours to do the front, maybe 1-1/2 for the rear. Firms up the ride nicely and absorbs bumps well. Gained maybe an inch up front, looks level. Definately a good upgrade.
