    Little squeak when from the brake pedal

    Hey Folks, I've noticed a squeak (don't know how else to describe it) coming from the brake pedal when I push down on it. Doesn't seem to matter if I go down hard or soft on it. And it's pretty consistent. Have any of you had this happen? Do you know what it is? It's still under warranty...

    Off roading in Toronto area

    I searched the forum for 'Toronto' but all I saw were hello from toronto posts. I want to go off roading (any season) but I don't know where to go in the toronto area. I'm a noob to this, but keen to drive over stuff. So where do I go? GTA is good too, of course. Sent from my iPhone...

    Things you did not know about your 4runner

    Really wanted to contribute to this thread... if you have the third row, you can store a few things towards the top of the seat when it is folded down. A sort of secret compartment, but not as slick as that other one that was talked about so much here. Also, the inside top of the center...

    Wiper blade defroster and remote starters

    When I talked to steve he wasn't sure which wire would get the wiper defroster started, and I'm not keen on testing it out. That's really the only reason I decided to go with a local shop. Well that and the exchange rate meant I wasn't paying much more for the shop to install it. Sent from...

    Wiper blade defroster and remote starters

    Gonna go with my local guy. Getting the G9 two way remote and it'll turn on the rear and front defrosters when it's below freezing. Paying more than I wanted to spend, but why get only half the features? I figure Ill pay a bit more to not have regrets. Install is happening on the 26th. I so...

    Center differential + rear differential + front differential = confusion!

    Alright, I'm starting to understand. So why are 4WD preferred for off roading over AWD? Is it only because 4WD has the low gear? Im guessing AWD is preferred in the city cause no binding happens. Yes, I am a 4WD NOOB Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Center differential + rear differential + front differential = confusion!

    I've got a couple of question... Firstly, regarding the ATRAC, I can't get my head around the bit where more power is delivered to wheels that have traction. In a locked differential setup as the SR5 has, don't all wheels get the same power regardless if they are slipping or not. That's how...

    Sigh... I did... and now I'm confused about that too...

    Center differential + rear differential + front differential = confusion!

    Thanks... I had a 4WD Escape some months ago and ya I was a bit confused when taking my T4R SR5 on sharp turns with H4 engaged. The Escape never did that jerking motion, but I guess it had opened differentials, right? I understood differentials enough to know what was going on with the T4R...

    Wiper blade defroster and remote starters

    Thanks again for the input. Regarding the 2 way starter... I can see how the confirmation that the car turned on is a good thing. The two way starter is an extra $113 (with taxes), and now its starting to get a little too expensive. Initially I was planning to spend about 300-400... and...
