2014 4Runner SRV I'm getting more wind noise in the cabin, and it sounds like it is coming from the rear liftgate. This past winter, after a heavy wet snow, I opened the rear hatch. Because of the heavy snow, the hatch wouldnt go up all the way so I pushed on it, forcingit up as far as...

I managed to get the nut off with a Dremel without damaging the shaft or the rubber boot. I’ve learned the value of anti-sieze lubricant on my outboard. When I put the new arm on I’ll add a little to bake the next one easier to get off. I was going to ask if the barrel of the nut should have...

That doesn’t sound correct. Looking at a new OEM Toyota wiper arm for a 2014 SR5 4Runner (left photo), you can see that nut is part of the arm. The teeth are fully embedded in the plastic, so they couldn’t engage anything. It slides onto the stud and the arm is secured with the flanged nut. The...

I need to replace the rear wiper arm on my 2014 SR5. I got the nut off the wiper arm stud but could not get the arm to budge. I sprayed it with PB Blaster and let it sit overnight. This morning I still couldn’t get the arm off so grabbed a puller from the local AutoZone. All I could accomplish...

On my 2004 Limited and my 2014 SR5, when the rear window was down the rotten egg smell of exhaust fumes would enter through the opening. This especially happened when accelerating. Did Toyota manage to fix this on the 2025 4Runner?

How does the insert attach? Finally getting around to ordering this. It seems like it is just a push fit. Does the insert just push in or is there hardware needed to attach it? Thanks

The front actuator tested good by my mechanic. He not only bench tested the actuator, he installed a new one, which did nothing to solve the problem so he put the original, working actuator back in. How is the transfer case actuator tested to confirm that it is bad?

The 4WD on my SR5 4Runner will not go into 4H or 4LO. When I try to put it in 4WD, the green 4WD light flashes but it does not go into 4WD. I’ve tried all the suggested ways to get it to work. It is not a case of it never being used, I use it all the time. Brought it to the dealer today...

I took it out this morning and tried multiple times to get 4H to engage: - start the engine - shift into N - turn 4WD switch to 4H; light goes on and flashes - shift into D - drive for 10 minutes or so; 4WD light never stopped flashing and 4H never engaged I did that multiple...

My 4WD has not worked since the end of past winter. Sorry this is a long note, but I wanted to give the history of the problem and what was done to try to fix it. My 4WD worked fine for most of last winter but at the end of the season it started to have problems. It was months ago but what I...

After years of towing with my 2014 4Runner, I need to replace this rear bumper insert. Can anyone tell me the name of this part? It is hard to tell from the exploded parts diagrams I’ve looked at. Thanks

This winter when I put my 2014 4Runner in 4WH on snow and ice the 4WD indicator came on, I could feel the 4WD grab and the vehicle went from losing traction to not slipping at all. When I took it out of 4WD the dash light went out and I could feel the change back to 2WD. The last two times I...

I ordered new Strongarm struts from Amazon. The liftgate stays up once open but it is tough to raise. Pulling it closed isn’t an issue. I’ll see if these new struts help. The issue may just be me. Some arm weakness and grip issues may be the problem. If I need a stronger strut, I am...

Hi, When the catch is released on the liftgate should it rise pretty effortlessly? The liftgate has gotten more difficult to lift. I’ve got some issues that have caused some arm weakness when lifting and I’m trying to figure out if I just need new struts or if I need to get struts with a...

2015 4Runner. I tow a Sea Pro 22’ boat and dual axel trailer for 5400 lbs. No problem at all. I tow it 200 miles round trip a couple of times a year. Only modification was I added an oil cooler to it.
