Hey! Yes, I was able to pull the rear door flare without issue. I ended up replacing most of the clips and it fit a bit tighter then. Might as well as long as you're in there. I found the most difficult spot to deal with was right at the main bend, or corner, beneath the door handle. There is...

Hi all. I know this thread is over a year old, but I need to pull the flair on the driver's side rear passenger door. I can't access the clips from behind because there is no liner to pull back for access to release the clips. It just clips into the door. I'm working on the assumption that I...

I hear a squeak from there when slowly rolling over speed bumps. Never when driving. I just assumed noisy springs. Thanks.

Agree that black wheels are getting pretty common, but they would provide a little more contrast than the gunmetal. I’d choose black. Good problem to have, though.

I’ve had both on my 2017 4Runner. I settled on the Toyota Predator steps because I found the front step is better placed for climbing in and out. The N-fab front step was, for me, too far forward. Especially when getting out. Just my experience but if you can test one or both out, maybe at a...

My 2017 SR5 Premium seats heat pretty evenly and I think get really warm. Have the dealer check yours out. Might be a simple fix.

Congrats! I bought my 2017 from Magic Toyota, too. My salesman (Gabriel) was great but I think he left. I remember one of the managers being kind of a tool. Glad you had a good experience and post some pics tomorrow.

So true!

No prob. My steering wheel wobble was noticeable pretty much right away but it’s road dependent, ranging from pretty smooth to pretty annoying. My commute takes me on back roads and keeps me below 60 mph so it works for me. If I commuted on the freeway every day I might feel differently.

Agree. Always best to keep original paint. I wish we had a real scratch repair shop around here. Everett-Seattle area anybody?? Maybe a quality detail shop would do that type of work. All the body shops I’ve asked said they just repaint for chips like this. If the OP has this option, I’d agree...

Oh man. Sorry. It can all be fixed. Still a big bummer. The grille garnish should be easy as they can just replace it. The hood is, in my opinion, more concerning. It’ll have to be painted to fix those chips correctly. It seems you have to let them fix it. I hope they have access to a good...

I have a difficult time believing that the steering wheel wobble does not "take away from the enjoyment of the vehicle." Mine wobbles above 60 mph at times. Driving those speeds is not as enjoyable when my hands are shaking. Hard to imagine somebody thinking otherwise. Just my experience, I...

I’m sure Toyota knows about the wobble. My service dept was open about it being too common on the 4Runner. But they are popular and selling well, even holding resale value. I guess it just isn’t costing Toyota dearly enough (financially or safety) to take action, which would likely be costly. I...

I agree and I’m really surprised that the issue still exists, especially as common as it appears to be. I’ve had two 4Runners and it’s been present on both. Currently I get the wobble on certain surfaces and I don’t drive above 60mph often so I accept it. But it will very likely be a factor when...

I’m new to the wrapping idea. Just curious if that trim piece needs to be removed to have it wrapped or can it be done without pulling the dash apart?
