That's correct, I was able to unclip the cable from the console and run it back to the glove box port without any need for splicing, removing tape, etc. "Hardest" part was safely removing the console panels without scratching them, all else was easy.

I'm currently running a set of Cooper Discoverer A/TW tires in the stock size at the recommended pressure on the door card. I was mainly drawn to them by their touted winter performance and 50K mile warranty. I've been pleasantly surprised by the A/TW thus-far. I've tried the General Grabber...

I opted to go with 20% front tint, stock rears. I think it matches about as close as possible given most tint options out there. I opted to go this route since I wanted the sun protection first, security second, and finally appearance. Driving at night has not been a problem for me. Product is...

It could be a few things: First, if your AC Drain Tube is blocked, it can cause water to back up into the system. In your case, moisture may have built up over time from using the AC, and the rain/humidity just pushed it over the edge and backed up into the system. Check underneath for a rubber...

Have you considered moving the usb/aux in into the glove box? Sounds like you keep your iPod plugged in, so this would certainly make it "out of sight, out of mind". Took me no time at all, required no cutting/splicing/etc. Just pop off a few panels and you'll wonder why Toyota even moved the...

Yep, I've lined these 3 locations with some black non-slip drawer liner similar to: Duck Non-adhesive Solid Grip Shelf Liner, Black - Walmart.com. Works great, doesn't slide out, and stops any rattling noises from keys, etc. I ended up doing the two rear wheel storage trays in the cargo area...

I've used truck cap/camper foam mounting seal in the past and it has worked well over long periods of time. Real inexpensive too so it can be replaced often since any footpads, etc will collect dust, dirt and other grime from the road requiring replacement eventually. It's easy to cut/trim to...

I have this problem too, although I'm not entirely convinced it's always caused by the vehicle/tires. I notice that right at 65, there seems to be some vibration, although the wheel does not shake, more like the vehicle lightly oscillating. Above and below this speed it's steady and smooth, and...

Very Easy to Move USB in '15 TPE As an update to this thread for anyone looking for info on the '15s: I completed the center stack to glovebox swap in my '15 TPE today. Took all of 20 minutes, and mostly due to removal of the console. It was hard to find a clear writeup on trim removal from...

Any chance you have a few pictures of the fit? I know they've been evolving over time, but I've seen a few vehicles were they fit great, and a few that are pretty sub-par.

Certainly does, glad to hear that it didn't hit! Thanks for the clarification. I had a feeling that even the longer boxes could be pushed forward enough for the rear hatch to open all the way. I've done this on a few other vehicles with rear hatch spoilers and as long as there's no touching...

When you had the Skybox 21 mounted on the factory rack, did you have any issues with clearance for the rear spoiler? Sounds like the 12, 18 and 21 are questionable at best (all the longer option over the 16...) Most folks say they are mounting their crossbars all the way forward, but did you...

Thanks for the info guys - I'm whittling it down to either the A/T3s or the A/TWs. Both seem to offer better snow/ice performance without sacrificing too much in the Dry Road, Handling, and Noise departments. It sounds like the A/T3s and the Wrangler AT w/Kevlar are similar on-road, but I've...

After a few more weeks with these tires and presumably warmer temps, do you have any more feedback regarding on-road handling? I'm seriously considering these or the A/T3 for year-round use here in the Pacific Northwest - Lots of highway in the summer, lots of snow/slush/ice in the winter. I'd...

1engineer, after reading through this whole thread, I gotta hand it to you: Not only have you provided sound, straightforward information, but you've also stuck with the thread for a long time. Very respectable. I saw you've had the (presumably) older Goodyear SilentArmors, but I'm wondering...
