    2014 - 5th gen Rear view camera backup not working

    Kudos on this fix GoHeels! I've been suffering through intermittent backup camera woes for over a year in my 2014 Limited. Last week it just went black and stayed that way. I suspected that it was tailgate wiring related as the head unit knew the car was in reverse and the image was good...

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

    Simple but satisfying morning rotating the tires and replacing the front brake pads on my 2014 Limited today. My OEM pads lasted 63,125 miles. There was very little friction material left and the wear was extremely even. I replaced the fronts with Akebonos and promptly ordered the Akebono...

    Hard wire for dash cam, wireless charger

    SlickTRD - PM me your email and I’ll send you much better images. I had to scale down the pics to meet the max size limits here and I overshot. I will not use your email for anything else.

    Hard wire for dash cam, wireless charger

    I thought I'd circle back after installing my Invisicord yesterday. Total elapsed time from start to finish was 15 minutes. Reading darkpassenger's messages helped me know what to expect but honestly, this might be the best and easiest mod based on return on level of effort I've ever done...

    Hard wire for dash cam, wireless charger

    Dark Passenger, Thanks for the info on the pin sizes and how to connect and secure to the molex. While I almost always solder and heat shrink my hookups, the ability to piggyback onto the mirror was just too tempting to resist. I checked my order and fortunately I ordered the std size pins. I...

    Hard wire for dash cam, wireless charger

    Inspired by this thread in general and your post specifically, I ordered a cord from Invisicord to connect a dashcam to the mirror in my ‘14 Limited. It’s been six days since I ordered with nothing from Invisicord. I’ve sent a couple of emails to their sales alias with crickets in return. Did...

    Navigation / radio reboots hangs problem update

    Thanks for the link bro! My audio system was randomly freezing and wouldn't let go without an ignition cycle. I used the link to download the update to a USB stick and did the upgrade as instructed at the Toyota Downloads site. I did have to remove the map CF for it to work but it went...

    Magnetic Grey 4Runners! Lets see them!

    My 2014 LE with Cooper Discoverer ATP 275/55R20s just passed its 2nd birthday and 25K miles. NFabs and TE bits added shortly after I purchased it. Still love it.

    Oil Change 5th Gen: How To- LOTS of PICS!

    This. I just did my first DIY oil &filter change on my 14 LE by following Antman's excellent post. When I went to remove one of the 10mm bolts at the front of the under engine cover, it snapped cleanly off. No doubt snugged up by the dealer tech with his impact gun. When I got to the pan...

    5th Gen Spotted Thread

    Coulda been me. I had the family in OC last week staying at a place near 87th St. Mine is a '14 Mag Grey Limited with NFabs and Cooper Discos on stock wheels. It has fairly dark tint and 2a and Navy Veteran decals on the rear window. I did see a new white TRD PRO just a block away.

    Any ideas on reducing liftgate travel on 2014 T4R?

    ^ This. I keep a microfiber drying towel hanging on a hook just inside my garage door. I put it on the rear garnish as I'm lifting the gate. It's a dual purpose item as the rear window is always dirty or streaked with drips. after I close the gate a couple of spritzes of glass spray and...

    Why do I buy Rigid Industries LEDs vs cheap china knockoffs?

    LoL another guy with the Signess. It's hard to deal with multiple disorder disease isn't it? T4R Mod addiction, Colt-heartedness, Signess etc. Sorry for the thread jack - back on topic.

    AT Tires

    +1 On the certificates. I bought it from Discount Tire on my new Coopers for $20 per tire and I consider it cheap insurance for a no questions asked policy.

    **RiDE Spacer kits to run nFab's on your SR5 or LE**

    I PMd RiDE several times over the last couple of weeks and never got a response. It looks like he isn't responding in this thread either. I was ready to use Antman's DIY thread to cut my LE rocker trim down. I got lucky and found a member selling a set of Nfabs with trail rocker trim and am...
