    Front Brakes dragging

    Toyota pads? I’ve seen a few occasions where the aftermarket pads were too thick and contacted the rotors all the time. thats my first guess. Aside from that check backing plates. Air in the lines most likely won’t cause brakes to drag but a spongy pedal or poor stopping power instead...

    Whining Noise From Engine

    In the video at low rpms like that with no load it’s most likely a pulley or accessory. At higher RPMS under heavy load like when I floor it I have a whine which I believe to be the chain and I believe to be normal... Not saying this is your noise but just giving ideas These are not exactly...

    Alignment ( caster ) question

    Thx but I’m already in spec. I’m familiar with alignment angles, I was asking if people deviate from factory specs...on factory suspension. I swear I read this somewhere.

    Alignment ( caster ) question

    2016 Trd Pro Love the truck but since new it wanders all over the road like I’m drunk. Constantly need small corrections to the steering wheel. Currently has 9k miles, NO MODS. I remember reading many people have experienced similar and I can’t remember but I thought adjusting the caster...

    Rear window not going up, Toyota says because of dirt build up

    Dirt in the mechanism is a horseshit cop out. Have you driven the 4Runner? These things have such drag and create such a vortex behind the truck it’s IMPOSSIBLE to keep the hatch clean. If my service department told me that I’d probably answer with that it seems like a manufacturer defect or...

    Dumb meets dumber - UCA castle Nut "screwed"

    Punch it out my ass...that appears to be threaded. No amount of downwards force is going to separate a threaded bolt from a threaded hole unless you press the threads out too. Your gonna have to drill it, yes you can drill a grade 8 bolt. Use good bits and keep dipping the tip in oil every...

    Picked up 65 trees today, 4runner tows great

    Thx for sharing It doesn't look that impressive but those little trees weight adds up quick with the full pots especially if the Costco employee was liberal with the hose when watering. Have fun planting all those!

    Timing cover leak = first trip to dealer

    I have a seep from my timing cover too, verified by my service department. I did not want it addressed as it's just a seep and I only have 5K miles ( 2016 Trd Pro ). I have warranty to 8 years/75k so I'll wait till it's dumping or close to my warranty expiration. Leaks happen not a big deal in...

    Softex seats

    I love the softex. I'm in and out of luxury real leather cars all day and they are nice but the softex seems softer and seems to wear better. It's a total judgement call as I know there's people that don't like it but go ahead and put a slash for 1 in the " like it " column for me

    Real World MPG with 5th Gen?

    Everything you need is on fuelly.com They have a much larger sample I believe then whoever posts here That being said I get 17 even 2016 Trd Pro stock, usually drive sort of aggressively

    Discussion: how to make 4wd more reliable in the 5th gen

    Poetry. I'm not sucking up cause I really don't give a rats ass if your a mod or not. I do like it here but whether I can post here or not will not make me lose sleep at night. That being said...this is awesome and about as bruntly truthful as I've seen on a forum. Kudos 1engineer, I'd buy you...

    If this is true, then this 4R will be my last Toyota

    There's plenty of companies that refurbish, recycle, and reuse old cell phones and associated hardware. In fact go to nearly any grocery store nowadays and you'll see an automated machine that spits out cash for your used old cell phone. I'm not sure how this thread became more about cell phones...

    If this is true, then this 4R will be my last Toyota

    Holy shit OP. Is this your first auto-ma-car? Things have changed since the Horse and buggy brother. I read this thread and it makes me want to gouge out my eyes. I hope you got your questions answered and have a satisfactory resolution but maybe don't start a thread on a TOYOTA forum looking...

    If this is true, then this 4R will be my last Toyota

    FYI tire pressure sensors are federally mandated. Good luck finding a new car without this system. Before you go blaming Toyota maybe do a little research first. I'm not a hard core Toyota fanboy but I see no reason to be pissed at the manufacturer for something the NHTSA forced them to do. FYI...
