I have a 2022 TRD Off-road without sunroof with about 16k miles and noticed recently that whenever there’s water in the roof and I hit the brakes causing the water to roll down the windshield, I get this hissing/leaking sound as if pressurized water is leaking past a rubber seal. Anyone have...

Been struggling with steering wheel vibrations at highway speeds and figured I would try inflating my tires more so than usual to see if it would help. Inflated them to 38psi and the steering wheel shake is gone. Is that too high to run standard load tires? Before when I had them at 32psi the...

Well, I was able to find the grommet at the local u pull and pay. Grabbed it off of a 2006 and seems to match exactly. Success! - Album on Imgur Unfortunately I noticed when removing the harness from the grommet that there seems to be some rubber/resin potting material they used to seal the...

It didn’t seem too bad to replace. The harness goes inside and down to a junction box on the passenger footwell. There’s just two connectors that need to be disconnected and could probably be pulled through carefully or might need to de-pin them. The washer fluid line has a disconnect that will...

Is there any decent way to replace this grommet besides buying a whole new engine harness? This is not my picture but the grommet I am talking about is circled in red. Previous owner split it open pretty good running some wires through it and if possible I would like to replace it. Thought about...

So I added a small 8 inch subwoofer and an amp that is rated at about 250 watts. From the math I did, I figure I’m drawing about 25 amps max. I’m just curious how much strain that would be putting in the stock electrical system and how much headroom the stock alternator allows for. For example...

So I added a remote turn on wire to turn in the amp rather than using the DC offset on the high level inputs and it’ll that got rid of the pop I was experiencing when turning the car off. I think the head unit was turning off and cutting the signal to the amp abruptly before the amp was able to...

I just did this mod and had a few questions. 1: Did you use a remote turn on signal to turn on your amp? If so, do you get a pop from the subwoofer when you turn off the car? I’m using an amp that has a DC offset feature that will turn the amp on and off when a high level input is detected from...

Gotcha, makes sense. One other thing that popped into my head. Is it better to drive around and get the fluid up to temperature and then drain or let the car sit overnight and then drain? On one hand, I think getting the fluid warmed up and all the particulates suspended in the fluid would be...

That’s what I originally thought but with my stock suspension, the rear sits a little higher than the front does. Didn’t know if that actually made enough of a difference to matter. I’ll just chalk it up to level ground and try to keep my OCD at bay lol. Thanks!

How are you all checking that your 4Runner is level when doing diff fluid changes? I’m not sure if it really makes that much difference with regards to how much or how less fluid it will take to get it to run out of the fill hole. My thoughts were to use a bubble level on the frame rails.
