Nope

Definitely electronic static, not distortion of a bad speaker. But thanks anyway. It sounds like the static you hear when listening to AM stations during a thunderstorm. But it happens when there are no storms around, so that's not it.

2011 Trail edition with the standard am/fm/satellite/CD radio. Recently I've been getting loud static when I make calls using the bluetooth connection to my phone. I've had this phone for a couple years with no issues and have never had problem in my other vehicles using this phone. I'm not...

Yes! Thank you! The charcoal color is what I received, not the Silver i have on the 4Runner. Do you know anything about Originalwheels.com? Are they legit?

Banged up one of my OEM Trail Edition wheels and found one on ebay that was listed as 2010-2013 Trail Edition wheel. When it arrived it was a darker gray metallic color and isn't anywhere close to the original wheel color. I seem to remember seeing this gray metallic on FJ Cruisers, or maybe...

Anyone know where i can get one of these? Effed up one of my wheels and need a replacement. Doesn't have to be perfect, but must be straight and round.

SOLD - SOLD - SOLD Set of four 17" steelies, fits 4th & 5th Gen, and ??? Set of four, used but in good, straight condition (see pic #2) asking $100 for the set. Also have One in excellent condition (see pic #1). This one was the one for the original spare from my Trail Edition. I replaced...

Found that problem at first oil change nine years ago. I guess Toyota still hasn't addressed that articular issue. You need to have the weight on the front tires to move the sway bar out of the way. Use ramps if you don't room to work underneath.

The only thing I see that seems unreasonable is the price of the parts. Looking online MSRPs for the OEM front and rear pads are $104.50 and $67.50, respectively, and those come with the anti-squeal shims (so that's a suspect charge, too). I'm pretty sure the engine air filter MSRPs for about...

You're lucky you live in Florida where it's relatively flat. Take that towing combination where there is some hilly country and you'll spend as much time in 3rd gear as 4th. I have that problem on the midwest interstates towing a camper weighing less than 3500 lbs.

Have you actually measured the height of the garage or you going by the hotel's advertised maximum height? The last time I was in the DC area the hotel where we stayed advertised a maximum clearance of 6 feet in their garage, which is about 6 inches lower than my Trail Edition. However, the...

If you can find them, I put the SAW 1.5 rear coils on about 150,000 miles ago and they gave me 2.0 inches of lift at install, and never settled at all.
