    ALIGNMENT in Phoenix

    I went to Firestone in north phx to have my alignment done before a road trip. Big mistake. The alignment was worse than when I took it in but didnt have time to fix it before the trip. They made it so that it pulls right pretty bad to the point it is unsafe. If you let go of the wheel it...

    Finding KDSS rigs

    It makes it difficult because most dealers and private sellers don't even list it as an included option. When I bought mine private party off CL it didn't list that it had KDSS but it had everything else I was looking for. It wasn't until i looked underneath while test driving that I saw it...

    Buying a 5th Gen

    I have a trail premium which has everything that the sr5 premium has plus some. You can get the best of both worlds.

    My $5 mod in 5 mins.

    For reference, my 2014 TEP does not have the harness attached to the dummy plug. The 2014 had some other electronic differences(e.g. clock display showing compass and range/mpg) so that may be why.

    Any Help if possible

    Glad you got it figured out. I am planning on buying through gshadow soon. He has been very helpful and responsive when I have reached out. This thread has solidified my choice to go through him.

    Reverse Lights

    I got the same bulbs as Redrunner above. They are at least twice as bright as the stock bulb and replacing takes 30 seconds as you just have to pry off the plastic cover and can twist out the bulb without taking the tail light off. Definitely recommend if you want a cheaper option than diode...

    Driver door key lock not working

    I had replaced the motor on my actuator and didnt get it put back in right and my manual key wasnt working. There is a bar that runs from the lock to the actuator that has to be in place for it to work. It was kind of a pain to get it to slide in properly but wasnt too big of a task. I had to...

    Is this the cause of bad MPG for 5th Gen?

    I've heard its the aerodynamics and the angle of the front windshield that sucks things towards the windshield. This is also the reason I replace my windshield twice a year on average. I usually wait until I have at least 5 chips and a crack that is 7 inches long. Its brutal.

    Anytime Backup Camera/Front Camera Group Buy ***CLOSED***

    Does the NAV override disable all nanny mode functions? Thinking of being able to change what phone is connected while in motion.

    transmission temp check mode

    You have to add a custom PID to see the trans temps with the torque app. I just did it for a trip while towing and it worked great. Link to the instructions below from a previous thread.(note that you have to have torque pro($4.99) to add the custom PID. The free one lets you add it but...

    Rear ended, questions about repairs

    My wife backed mine into her moms car in the driveway when leaving the garage. Doh. I bought an OEM bumper from Toyota and had it painted at a shop and replaced it myself. The process was very easy and it turned out great. There is a little bit more of a gap where the bumper meets with the...

    dual usb outlet for dash blanks

    Ive had this installed in the blank to the right of the steering wheel for a year and a half and it works great. Was easy to wire into the accessory spot in the fuse box and fits in the spot without any modification. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CTOKI06 If i remember correctly i...

    Dear Toyota, please fix this in the next production year of the 4Runner

    The Eco light can be removed via carista. The back window or sunroof don't roll down when the window option is set in carista. You can make the dash lights go full brightness by turning the brightness wheel next to the steering wheel all the way up until it clicks

    Cargo basket question

    I too have the curt with the extender. I also got the cargo bag that fits perfect. I mounted it directly to the crossbars instead of using the hard plastic spacers that make it sit up higher.

    Brake Pad upgrade? (stocks suck imo)

    It might be overkill but I installed the Powerstop package below about 20k miles ago and have been very happy. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00O6QJ9UG
