    2013 "ride" doesn't seem just right

    Any info on the suspension details? Price range? Just curious, as the ride leaves a lot to be desired in the handling department.

    Excessive road/tire noise. Dealer says both rear axle bearings?

    2013 2WD 4Runner with 93K miles. Noise just became real noticeable, almost overnight. Sounds like I'm running mud tires! Low pitch whine, especially noticeable at 30 to 40 MPH that varies with speed, not RPM. I can't tell where the noise is coming from other than the drive train. Truck in...

    2013 "ride" doesn't seem just right

    I dropped by a tire shop this afternoon and talked with them about my issue(s) before I deal with the Toyota dealership, and the guy was extremely nice and helpful, taking it for a test drive with me. He said he's not really familiar with the 4Runners above any other vehicle and that it drove...

    2013 "ride" doesn't seem just right

    Yes, as best I know. Both completely stock and "appear" to have been well taken care of.

    2013 "ride" doesn't seem just right

    I recently purchased a one-owner 2013 SR5 4Runner with about 50k miles and in great shape. My girlfriend recently bought a one-owner 2011 SR5 with about 65k miles, that seems to be the exact same vehicle, other than leather interior. Nothing appears to have changed in their design between 2011...

    Ham radio mount

    I haven't tackled my 4Runner, yet, but when I do I will use one of these laptop mounts to the passenger seat bolts. Completely removable without any damage or modifications to the truck. Ham Radio Complete Installation w/ Pictures - TundraTalk.net - Toyota Tundra Discussion Forum

    CB install writeup

    Great work! I dislike Diamond as a company (re: customer service), but maybe you will never need them. Nice install!

    Front Passenger Seat Comfort... aint there

    A 2011 with leather seats vs. my 2013 with cloth seats feels quite different, something other than the coverings. Not sure of the reasons. Comfort of the cloth seat is much better.

    My "windshield creak/tick" and how I fixed it.

    This issue is also in the Tundra, I believe. At least, the sound I hear in my Tundra reminds me of this exact issue.
  10. Q

    2-way radio interference?

    Those cheap radios have interference issues that are inconsistent with each other, to some degree. One radio may have issues at certain frequencies, which are different frequencies that might affect another Baefeng radio.
  11. Q

    Valve noise between 1500-2000 rpm?

    I think its normal. I've road in several 4Runners besides mine, and they all have a valve rattle type noise at lower RPM's.
  12. Q

    really bad rattles

    I've heard the "windshield" rattles from the dashboard on my 2011 Tundra, but have never sought to actually find the issue. My 2013 4Runner has an annoying rattle or squeak coming from the hood latch, so I was told by the dealer. They said they fixed it, but that lasted maybe three days. It...
  13. Q

    Audio Upgrade?

    I'm very interested in upgrading the audio in my basic '13 SR5. It is the worst factory system I've heard in quite some time. In comparison, my '11 Tundra factory system sounds great. BUT, I'm also very careful in evaluating the "sound" improvements others describe. As a recording engineer...
