    rear window goes up super slow when cold

    i think they tried to scare me off from using the warranty,, i just knew if i took it to the stealership and they found dust, the ext warranty people would try not to cover it and then i would have a huge stealership bill. in this case, i only got as far as the extended warranty people...

    rear window goes up super slow when cold

    in this case, i only got as far as the extended warranty people, didn't even make it to the stealership. but no doubt the service writers would try something. my local dealership, centennial toyota in las vegas, absolutely ****ed me over last time i went there. i totally agree with you...

    one thing i found out, is that if the window is down, you can't turn on the side mirror/rear window de-icer

    question for the experts. i was going to trailer tow my 5 gen 4runner, lifted and all that fancy stuff. was going to use axle straps on the rear axle but for some reason my 4runner doesn't have a front axle (must have lost it somewhere, still runs fine though). i was thinking of putting...

    Slightly different size tires with a locking rear end?

    My forerunner has the blocker rear end. I just got a flat tire and my spare is not quite as big of diameter as the Other rear tire. Do the locker rear ends have spider gears in them? If so how fast should you go? I’ve got like about a 50 mile drive to the nearest tire shop
