    I'd very much appreciate it if you could post the Toyota procedure for troubleshooting. Thanks

    Gas gauge woes...

    That seems like a pretty drastic measure at this point... Is this a common problem... Do you know this from experience?

    Gas gauge woes...

    My 2013 4Runner trail edition, 135k mileage Just started to show around a quarter of a tank on the gas gauge, but runs out. I have read other posts where people talk about a bad ground on the sender (can access it under the rear seat)... But in that case, it seems like their gas gauge just...

    Replacing touch screen, Pioneer model, help!

    Anyone have experience replacing a Pioneer navigation screen? I have a 2013 4Runner trail edition and have everything apart but can't seem to firmly insert the screen circuit tape into the connector on the circuit board...it's loose. Wondering if anyone else had a similar problem. I saw a great...

    Pop! sound after lift...???

    Problem solved...got another alignment, by an alignment Jedi, who fully torqued the LCA bolts and the pop sound is gone (runner drives much tighter too). This alignment master was also able to get well within the factory specification for the alignment, kudos to the JBA upper control arms...

    Pop! sound after lift...???

    Thanks... Good to hear that a few people seem to have this same issue... It definitely fits with my loosening of LCA on that side only when I get to the installation. It also fits with the lackie alignment technician's narrative that he didn't touch the lower control arm cans on the driver side...

    Pop! sound after lift...???

    I used to brand new KYB strut mounts when I assembled the struts. They have the inside rubber bushing made as part of the mount. When I assembled them I did so in the following order - strut, washer, mount (including rubber inside) rubber on top, washer. When I tightened the nut on the top of...

    Pop! sound after lift...???

    Another strange thing I just noticed regarding this popping sound... If the vehicle is in park or has the emergency brake engaged with it in drive, turning the steering wheel from Lock to lock does not elicit the popping sound However, if it is in drive and I have the brakes applied, when I...

    Pop! sound after lift...???

    That makes sense...I did have it aligned, but the technician at the Toyota dealer is a miserable prick and toe-n-go'd it. My runner left with a worse right caster than it was when I drove in. That being said, the tech told me that he "didn't do anything to the left side, it was in"...that tells...

    Info on these TRD wheels

    what's the general concensus on 285's ? I am considering getting these wheels... I have Cornfed leveling spacers in the front, which raised the front end up about an inch total. I had FN countersteers with 265's, then changed back to stock wheels but went to Firestone Destination AT's in 285...
