How difficult is that light assembly to remove? Thanks for the tips guys

when I say socket I'm referring to the piece that unscrews from that housing that the bulb rests in. That piece comes out altogether and I put the new bulb in there and then twist it into the housing. I've ruled that piece and the bulb both out by swapping them (bulb and socket) from one side...

Hey guys, having an issue with the rear driver side brake light on my 2010 and thought I'd see if anyone has any other ideas. Here's what I've done and what I know: The light itself seems to work in that it lights up when the headlights are on, but it doesn't light up with the brakes, so it...

Does anyone a link to instructions or video on how to remote the front door panels? I've seen the question asked before with responses like 'look it up in the service manual'. I'm hoping for a bit more info here, if someone has a picture, video or wouldn't mind writing up or linking me to...

So I have a 2010 SR5 with the 17" wheels and am wanting to trade up for the 20" wheels that come on the limited. I know there has been some interest in the past from people who get the Limited but want the 17" wheels for better offroad performance, so thought I'd try here. I'd be willing to...

Can someone tell me where the OBD2 port on the 2010 model is? Is it accessible, or do I have to take stuff apart to get to it?

OK on the brakes, we'll just get used to it. On the front windows, can that tint be removed or is that going to be built into the glass? Anyone else notice this on the front windows?

I've had the 4Runner for a couple weeks now, and have a couple questions. 1 - The brakes seems a little 'soft', and I've noticed that when depress the brake pedal I get a wierd sound, almost sounds like a puff of air mixed with a slight squal, hard to describe. It's not crazy loud, but you can...

I've got the SR5 with the 265/70/17 tires. It has the crappy stock bridgestone tires on it, and I want to replace those. I don't have 4WD and don't go off road really at all. So, I'm looking for the best tires on the road, and think I have it narrowed down to 3 options. Bridgestone Alenza -...

OK then, let's see a side by side comparison. A Before and after would suffice as long as the pic was taken in the exact same spot at the same time each day - it wouldn't be exact but would be close enough for a fair comparison. A side by side is even better, if someone has access to 2...

Ok, a couple things: I've only seen the one thread on here that has the picture of a 5th gen with HID, that's the thread that also has the visual walkthrough of the install. I've also seen another picture online somewhere of a 5th gen with HID lights. The pictures I've seen don't seem to show...

This has been discussed. The 5th gen models do not have projectors, so any true HID install will require a retrofit of the stock reflector housings with projector lamps, this is going to be a difficult process.

I'm just having a hard time trying to imagine someone driving a venza around the farm, even on dirt roads. I'm sure the venza can handle it, but is that really what you want to be doing with a car? Another thing to consider is resale value, I think the 4runner us going to hold its value better...

I was concerned about that at first also. Obviously I don't know you but I don't think you'll really miss it all that much. What you should be more concerned about is the travesty that is the antenna

The antenna on the new model is dumb, must be a cost cutting measure by Toyota, because I can't think of a single good reason to do it, gets worse reception and is ugly
