    4Runner in snow?

    Not sure what you expect in RWD. However if you take your time to accelerate rather than gas the throttle you can get around just fine. Yes it will take longer to accelerate and steep hills will be impassable at times. Good thing you have 4wd, don’t be afraid to use it. Sent from my iPhone...

    Softex Seats

    Have you priced cloth seat covering from Toyota? Also make sure you have the tool to install hogrings and about 100 hogrings themselves. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Brake squeal common?

    See my above post there is a bulletin for brake squeal. The dealer should have taken care of that if they knew what they were doing, provided it happens during cooler weather. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Brake squeal common?

    For the 2021, there is a TSB for pad squeal if anyone needs to know. Not safety related just annoying.

    Can't get a Runner...might get a Jeep. :Cry:

    If there is a dealer with an allotment that you are looking for it may be reserved. Tell the sales person to call you if the deal falls through. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Undercoating the 4Runner

    Not sure if anyone uses cosmoline, that’s what I used. Does it smell, yes. However you aren’t removing it without brake clean or a similar solvent. Also it kind of self heals, when I was off reading in Colorado I hit my hitch and scrape it off couple of days later in the heat it kinda filled...

    Oil leak

    My guess on the leak without photos would possibly be the timing cover leaking. As far as the check engine light, could be coincidence but no way to know without the codes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Drove a 4Runner For the first Time Today

    You have come to the right place Richinridgewood will enlighten you! But due to his bias and long winded responses I will sum his reply up. “The 4Runner does exactly what it should. The aviator while overpriced and designed differently then the 4Runner is superior to the 4Runner in EVERYWAY...

    4Runner Rattle Noise

    Must be yours. Mine had one rattle that has since went away. I will take some rattles in stride knowing I bought a car to last. Either way I hope your Honda serves you well, I had a couple high mileage ones in my early 20’s and they took me everywhere with out trouble. Sent from my iPhone...

    Good UCA recommendation

    So, UCAs will have little to do with that if any it will allow your alignment angles to be at or closer to specification . The biggest thing to help your c.v shafts with a lift will be a differential drop kit, this lessens the stress on your cv shafts and flex on the boots. Sent from my iPhone...

    Brakes issue on my 2014 SR5

    So the thing I see commonly is when someone bleeds the brakes on the GX/4Runner is after the initial bleeding the rears still have some air trapped. Pump the brakes then crack the rears individually with no pedal depressed (otherwise the actuator does it’s job and fluid blows out) wait about...

    Help! My backseat left side window stopped working from either switch

    So there should be 12 volts present at the positive wire which may be white that should be present at all times at the regulator if not check the fuse and wiring from. Other wise pull the window switch out, back probe the black, and light blue wire at the switch when it is depress voltage should...

    Help! My backseat left side window stopped working from either switch

    Good advice! Also if the op is comfortable checking voltage I would maybe take it a step further provided voltage is present and jumper the window motor to a 12v source and operate the window. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New TRD Sport

    Exactly. They could have made it a limited sport! Make it look like an SR5 but real leather, dual climate, limited wheels and forget about the chrome or add some subtle chrome accents. Add the AWD ability and forget the XREAS garbage. Or just make a new SR5 premium with the mentioned touches...

    New TRD Sport

    I thought they were just discontinuing the night shade. Either way it seems useless to have another trim. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
