    Squealing brakes

    I had that happen once before with my '98 Tahoe. They didn't squeal, the truck just didn't stop! The front brakes were done a few months after the rear. The squeal is only in the left front. Could they have left a part out? (I've never done disc brakes on a "cager" before.)

    Squealing brakes

    About 3500 miles ago I had a 4 wheel brake job...pads and rotors. Almost immediately after the work, the left front brake started to squeal loudly when I first backed out of the driveway. After the first couple of stops, the squeal stops. Its only coming from the one wheel. I went back to the...

    How To: Headlight Bulb Conversion (H11 to H9 & 9005 to 9011)

    Done it...doing it again I did this in my 2011 runner and an finally going to do it in my 2021 TRD. It worked well in the old runner...sure it will be okay in the '21(after 5 years). May aim the low beams a little lower to avoid blinding oncoming drivers. I hate that when it happens to me. Here...

    Mount lights 2021 trd off road with adaptive cruise control

    I thought about these as an alternative to grill mounts. Do you get any reflected light in your face from the hood surface?

    Mount lights 2021 trd off road with adaptive cruise control

    I've been waiting for a grill guard for my '21 trd off road that doesn't interfere with the adaptive cruise control to mount a light bar. Looks like I'm wasting my time, so I'm looking for ideas for mounting auxiliary lights. I guess I could put something together with nuts and bolts. I'm not...

    Updating nav data 2021

    I looked, but can't find specific info about updating the navigation system in my 2021 TRD OFF ROAD. Does anybody know if there is an update available. If there is, do I have to get it from the stealer or is there an aftermarket source. I am assuming that any update would be for the USB...

    Help finding a switched fuse

    I guess I'll try to strip the wire that AOB suggests and do a splice onto it. I'll use some liquid electric tape to insulate it. With these low profile fuses, there's no way to tap into the interior fuse block. (I also have to go to the parts store and replace my old supply of blade fuses for...

    Help finding a switched fuse

    I just wired my LED light bar on my 2021 TRD Off Road Premium. (Under the front bumper, using the fascia mounting bolt holes...still have 12" ground clearance). I used an AOB push switch and it works fine. The green top light comes on when the switch is on. I need a power source for the lower...

    2021 light bar mount / bull bar

    I am searching for a way to mount an LED light bar on the front of my 2021 TRD Off Road Premium. Every bull bar or brush guard seems to interfere with the radar antenna mounted in the grill. I had a Weston bull bar on my 2011 and it was fine...held up very well for 8 years. I'd put the same...

    Bull bar / auxiliary light mounts

    The new 2021 TRD Off Road Premium is growing on me. Seems quieter and smoother than my 2011 SR5. The shop will reinstall the Viper remote start tomorrow (hopefully my high beams will work this time...see my other thread for that saga!). I would like to mount my LED light bar but I haven't...

    2021 high beam problem after Viper DS4 install

    UPDATE: I took the truck back to the installer. They checked everything they could and then took it to the dealer. No problems when the dealer put it on their computer. The installer said that they checked all fuses and that there is no power to the left DRL / high beam. They checked the bulb...

    2021 high beam problem after Viper DS4 install

    I tried all the combinations of high beam switch and automatic high beam switch. No luck. When I push the automatic high beam switch, the indicator light on the multi function display doesn't come on...that makes me think there is a bad fuse. I thought they might have unplugged the switch, but I...

    2021 high beam problem after Viper DS4 install

    I'm going to call the shop when they open this morning. I checked the switch and its still plugged in. I don't know which fuse to check. I really don't want to tie the truck up for another day if its just a fuse. I guess I have to go page by page in the manual to find a fuse chart...not listed...
