    I'm done with AT Tires

    Funny, I'd be all over one with 4wd a strong v6 and towing package. I need a better towing margin on my 2014 4runner, all the choices suck. I'm shopping a smaller trailer to get around with. Currently pulling a 7x12 single axle, ebrake, fine local. Need to lock out OD and stay in 4th on the...

    Has anyone figured out a solution to the excessive downshifting in cruise control

    Happens even when not using Cc. I put a banks pedalmonster in a couple years ago. I tow alot usually lock the trans in 4 and keep it 65 and under on the highway. The banks keeps the torques steady and the shifting to a minimum. For towing I use the midrange setting at 4, for general commuting...

    Liftgate rust

    really look close at theh bottoms of all the doors too. Mine developed tailgate rust like that, but it's elsewhere on the body panel. Oddly, my frame looks almost perfect.

    Toyo Tires Suck!

    Hate to tell you. The Falken wildpeaks I put on 2.5 years ago also have cracks in the sipes. Also at 25 thousand miles.... Not sure it's really anything to worry about.

    Why is a replacement hood insulator so expensive?

    Tear the stock crap Out, clean the sheet metal and apply dyna-mat. Sound insulation and heat control. Plus mice won't eat it.

    Hatch and handle replaced, water under cargo carpet

    I'd be looking at the top of the hatch and how it fits to the body. Also as above check the grommets.

    Android Auto module

    Have a 14 limited which means jbl. After driving my wife's buick with aa I started researching upgrades and updates for mine. Ended up with the Hamilton update module on black Friday sale. Allowed me to keep the current jbl system, which I like. Along with SiriusXM intact. Install took all of...

    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    Installed the hamilton apple/android module into my 2014 limited. Money well spent, about a hour to install and get running. Wish I did it sooner, waiting got me 10% off for black Friday.

    2008 sr5 ac v6

    My other thought is expensive. It sounds like a control valve or door isn't working correctly. The system is out of whack if you're getting 37f out the vents. You know that! I've not had hvac problems in any of my Toyota . DIY would be a full module scan, after that a skilled shop or the...

    2008 sr5 ac v6

    There's a temp sensor in the lower right panel to the right of the steering wheel. Pull the panel and clean the sensor if its cruddy. Don't think thats your problem, but its a place to start. BTW, how is the heat working?

    OK to Use Strut Rated for 4WD on My 2WD?

    I'd imagine they'd be a bit stiffer due to sprung weight of the 4wd system . Compare the listed curb weights of 2wd VS 4wd. Plus I'd imagine the front shock mounts to be different. Haven't looked, I've a limited
