XenonDepot HID kit 4000K *** SOLD *** I sold my TRD Pro last year but I have a brand new never-installed XenonDepot HID kit (4000K) I'm willing to sell at minimal cost. I had bought directly from Xenon Depot last year. They currently sell for $240. Ready to install, including two OEM housing...

DC area dealer for airbag recall Well, I waited until January 2020 to get the passenger airbag recall done on my 16 TRD Pro, hoping that the dealer techs would have had enough practice by now to do it right. The job took about 2.5 hours. There was one minor hiccup. When I got the 4Runner...

In case anyone is considering one of those cheap bull bars for the purpose of protecting the front bumper in street parking scenarios, I must say in my experience it does very well for that purpose. I installed a cheap tubular bull bar that I got on eBay for about $100. The tubular stainless...

Well, 21 lb ft seems to be the magic number. Anything less results in loosening and squeaking within a dozen miles of driving.

Helicoil tips I did my first oil change myself at 5k and took it in to the dealer at 10k. At 15k when I was doing the third oil change, I noticed one of the bolts would keep spinning. After I chased the hole with a tap and replaced the bolt with a new one, it held fine and snug until I made the...

How did your skid plate mount repair hold up? I would think because you welded the new flange nut to the bracket and not the radiator support, the skid plate may get some vibration or movement on that corner? I'm trying to figure out how to fix mine.

My '16 TRD Pro came with out-of-balance Nittos on black TRD rims. Steering wheel vibration at 60 mph. The solution should have been a one-time Road Force balance, but the idiot dealer service rep and techs let my truck sit in the parking lot in the freezing cold for 3 hours before pulling it...

I think the OD of the washers was 1", and the ID was whatever the bolt is... probably 1/4", if I remember correctly. (I just took the bolt with me to Home Depot to match the washer.) On a side note, the Plastidip on the washers is beginning to fray on the edges from high pressure car washes...

I just installed this on my '16 TRD Pro. It ended up taking me 3 hours because of a few minor but time-consuming problems. Here's a heads up to anyone looking to do this install: 1. Get a stubby ratchet and/or angled or offset wrench! Even though my T4R is only 5-months old, I had to use PB...

With the switch set to "AUTO," only the DRL lamps (no marker lights) will be on in daylight. It will automatically switch to the projectors and marker lamps in darkness. With the switch set to parking light mode, the DRL and marker (aka parking) lights will stay on, whether in daylight or...

Here's a link to some on ebay. Looks like they're getting cheaper... less than $2 each... 10x 3K Amber Yellow 23mm 12V Motor Car 9W LED Eagle Eye Fog Driving DRL Lights | eBay As far as mounting in the grill, for the two side LEDs, I used the head of the LED bolt against the front of the...

I used these cheap amber LED "eagle eye" bolts from ebay, about $3 each when purchased in bulk. They have clear lenses with an orange shine. When turned off, they reflected the sun and looked like shiny white spots during the day. They were also ridiculously bright at night when turned on...
