    2011 SR5 4 wheel not engaging

    I am having a similar issue with my '11 TE...I try to engage 4H every so often as instructed. The last couple of times the light did not turn on (no flashing, no solid, just no light), but when i tried again it would flash and lock on. I put it on the back burner of things to deal with. Got our...

    New 4500 Luman LED Headlight option from VLED

    Alright gents (and ladies too!), I have finally retrofitted a pair of trail aftermarket head lights with my projectors and the VLED headlights. I checked their site, recently, they have a new edition. The fans are loud but over the engine, you shouldnt hear them. They have no been installed in...

    Aftermarket Head Unit

    It has been done before. There is a thread, a large one at that, with all info on new head units, amps, face covers, wiring adapters, etc on the forum. I cannot remember what the thread is called, but do a search for new radio or new headunit and it should come up. With Android Auto and...

    5TH Gen (2013) has a flaw

    In my '11 (and I cannot imagine them changing this) all dome lights can be switched off. Yeah its a pain to do it in the rain, if the hatch lights are coming on too, but you can reach the dome and front ones from the driver seat. As for the dash lights, did the dash dimmer work? I learned a long...

    She took it AGAIN?!?!?! Green eyes brewing

    The future Mrs, does the same thing. It started a couple of months back when I took her car in for service while she was at work. It was going to take a while, so I left her my 4Runner, while I had her's worked on (Nissan Juke). I travel for work often so my 4Runner sits in the garage most of...

    BFG All-Terrain T/A KO2 went on sale today

    So after almost a week of them on, here are my impressions with my KO2s 265/70/17 Load C at 44-45psi... 1.) The truck feels more stable all around especially at high speeds. The truck is no longer "floaty" and feels more connected to the road. 2.) Body lean is much better, my TE doesnt have...

    Question: 5th Gen Fuel Consumption at Idle

    I feel like this would be a.question we would normally be asking you...1/3 rule sounds close to my mpg math with the winter and my remote start.

    2010 Transmission Issue

    Mine does this all the time, from day 1. I say it is about 3-4 secs. Go from park, to drive, the car will move a little if you hit gas but takes 3-4 secs. Same thing from N to drive etc. I think this was discussed a few times before. As long as we are talking about the same thng, it is a...

    Plastidip OEM Trail rims?

    I painted my TE rims black the other day before I got my KO2s. It is from an '11 TE so the wheel may be different since 2014. I have pics of it on this KO2 tire thread.

    BFG All-Terrain T/A KO2 went on sale today

    My KO2 265/70/17 Load C showed up last night, and were installed today. Huge improvement over the stock P rated tires. Oddly enough, they weigh a few lbs less than my stock tires did, so the mpg hit shouldn't be as bad. Road noise is minimal; I have the in channel vent visors which make a ton of...

    BFG All-Terrain T/A KO2 went on sale today

    Just an update...As expected, Summit kept pushing back their expected arrival dates for the 265/70/17 Load C KO2. No fault on their end, as the tire isnt listed out until March 1st. They did update me last month, saying the tires were going to be expected in the middle of March, and gave me an...

    New 4500 Luman LED Headlight option from VLED

    Unfortunately, not yet. I need to snag a pair of trail headlight assemblies. I'm not too keen on doing the retrofit myself, but I was quoted like $800 for a place to do them if i supplied the parts soooo I'm gonna do them myself. I thought $800 was a bit much to take my projectors, put them in...

    White gunk under my oil cap

    Hey guys...so before I get flamed, yes, I have searched the forum for an answer. I have only seen this discussed in older generations such as 4th, and 3rd gen. In performing my oil change today, I noticed some faint white residue under the oil cap (see pics below). There was no sludge in the...

    New 4500 Luman LED Headlight option from VLED

    I have the projectors and the 4500 lum verison from VLED for lows, but I lack the time to put them in. Now that I'm seeing these, 4500 may be too much for lows in projectors. I know they do a 2500/4500 for low and high in one lamp, so I may trade these out for those. Just not sure yet. Like...

    Rear brake question

    Always double check the work and confirm issues with your own eyes. It is very sad but now a "normal" thing in todays age to be taken advantage of. Brake pads should wear realitivly even. I called out one service tech as i was told i only had 3mm left on all pads. seems the tech didnt bother to...
