    Help! Redarc trailer brake controller not working

    Thanks. The fuse was blown and the lights are now working properly. The trailer brakes still are not working, but I can deal with that. I think the 5-pin harness on the trailer is somehow not activating my brake controller.

    Help! Redarc trailer brake controller not working

    I need help. I recently installed the Redarc Tow Pro Elite trailer brake controller using the Tekonsha 3041P wiring adapter following the instructions on Etrailer.com. I'm certain everything is wired and installed correctly, and I'm certain the trailer is not the problem, as the brakes/lights...

    Redarc brake controller install

    Update. I have tried the wiring method mentioned on the etrailer site using the factory Toyota jumper harness: Installing Redarc Tow-Pro Elite in 2018 Toyota 4Runner Using Tekonsha Wiring Harness | etrailer.com. Using this method, brakes, brake lights, and turn signals worked fine, but the...

    Redarc brake controller install

    Mine is doing the same. I wired using the etrailer instructions linked earlier in the thread. The trailer running lights aren’t working, but brake lights and signals are. It also seems that the trailer brakes are working fine. I wonder if it’s because the etrailer instructions say to leave the...

    3rd Row Opionons?

    The 3rd row is the only option I wish my 4runner didn't have. I've owned it 3.5 years and have never used the 3rd row, but there have been dozens of times I could have utilized the extra cargo height lost to the 3rd row.

    Sound deadening doors?

    I did the inner and outer skins of all 4 doors with Kilmat that I bought from Amazon for about $60. It took about 1.5 hours per door. I hoped it would reduce road noise, but if it did it was only slightly. The biggest benefit was the improvement in audio quality and reducing the "tinny" noise in...

    Best offset to be flush with 285s

    Actually, it's pretty well documented on this forum that 285s rub worse with wider offsets, particularly on the front because of the wider scrub radius when turning. Basically, wider offset wheels make big tires hit the mud flaps and front bumper worse. OP, I agree that 0 offset on a 17x8 wheel...

    Synthetic Oil Change for $17

    Nobody cares unless you tell us where you got the stuff so cheap, and if the deal is still going.

    Mine has the gap too. I'm not really worried about it.

    Bilstein TRD Pro suspension kit on sale PTR13-35140

    Yes, install yours as if it were an SR5 and set the driver side clip set higher. The only exceptions to that rule are the KDSS equipped vehicles, and KDSS is not available on a Limited.

    PSA: Anti-Seize Your Lower Shock Mounts

    Anti-seize everything on these trucks. The fasteners are horribly susceptible to corrosion.

    Towing 4100lb trailer with 285’s. Quick question.

    By design, a torque converter has more slip (meaning more heat buildup) at low RPMs. At higher RPM, the torque converter locks, essentially making a direct link between the trans and engine at higher RPMs meaning less heat buildup. YouTube

    Is my 2018 SR5 Premium 4WD lifted?

    Looks to be a Rough Country lift. Take a pic of the rear shocks and that should let you know.

    Installing 1/4 spacer on top of 6112's on my own

    SoFloT4Run I have personally done the strut removal both ways, removing the UCA spindle on my 4th gen, and removing the two LCA spindle bolts on my 5th gen (the 4th & 5th gen are almost identical). In my opinion, it is much easier to remove the two bolts attaching the LCA. You just need to get a...
