    Anyone care to post a "how-to" on full installation of anytime backup camera

    Where did you get the blue led camera switch? I am looking for the exact same thing to power up the camera I bought.

    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    Sand ain't no thang Last weekend we took it to the Sand Dunes in Colorado. We camped up past the park, in the mountains. Oh yeah, I pulled my Clipper 2016 106 ST SS Sport pop-up behind it, loaded with camp gear and a full tank of water. The sand going past the park is treacherous. Many, many...

    Oil Change 5th Gen: How To- LOTS of PICS!

    Stuck metal filter plug? Like others that have posted here, my filter plug was stuck as well. Trying to unscrew it caused the entire housing to unscrew - and I was the last one to have tightened it. Easy fix. The housing wrench I bought has a hole to access that plug, and what I think is a...

    60,000 mile service

    I'll have to look in the manual, but if you have yours it has all the service recommendations in it. For all my vehicles I tend to: check all fluids check brake pads and rotors check throttle body to see if it needs a cleaning, clean if it does look grimy clean MAF sensor (takes a few seconds...

    Sounds like New Mexico roads. 3 days after putting in the new windshield on my Taco two rock strikes on the drive to work starred it. Grrrr.

    At least they left the light on for you! When being violated in a seedy motel chain, it's the little things that make all the difference. :drum:

    The bug shield really blends in. Looks pretty good. Thought this was a cool pic of my windshield tint, stopped at a light.

    Was surprised how big the box was, but then again it is a large hood to straddle. Went on in 2 minutes or less, but it was past sunset so have to wait until tomorrow to snap a pic and post up.

    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    Checked the throttle body to see if it needed cleaning: Some smudge there, but not enough to warrant a cleaning just yet. I'll wait until I hit 100,000 then clean it thoroughly (at a bit over 63k now). But I tell you, this is the first all black vehicle I have owned, and man does it get...

    Real World MPG with 5th Gen?

    Check mpg the old fashioned way and see if it jives with the computer.

    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    20% tint on the front windows to match the rest, visor tint, new windshield. Looks great, but it is storming right now so can't take decent pics. Also priced a new head unit and sub. Pretty sure we are going in on a Pioneer 7" Nav system with wheel controls unit added to keep all the wheel...

    Uhhh, don't think you left the heat, but certainly got to the mountains! I grew up in Vegas, been to those mountains a time or several.

    My install of 28 inch 145W LED Bar (14k lumen)

    Great. Now I want a 3D Printer! :) The possibilities for all the mods I have wanted to do on my Camry and Tacoma, and now my Runner... I love ya man, but my wife may want to say angry things to you when I start wanting to throw money into this :)
