    Engine woes and the all-too-obvious fix

    (For giggle :naughty:) Bosch is German, NGK/Denso is Japanese. If one speaks German and the other can only understand Japanese, how would you expect them to work together? My understanding. I've learned a similar lesson with the oxygen sensor on my other Japanese car. The Bosch was chosen over...

    MAINT light

    BlackWorksInc, The MAIN'T light on my '06 Sport never came on every 5k as it's supposed to. I know the light is there because it lights up along with other dashboard lights when the key is in ON position. Would it be possible that the previous owner had this "oil-change reminder" feature...

    Truck Won't Warm Up

    An OEM part from the dealer solved my very similar issue in the past. I would try that first in your situation. If problem persisted, maybe other folks would chime in with their opinions.

    Truck Won't Warm Up

    Did you use the Toyota OEM thermostat or an aftermarket one? Does the ECU throw out an error code like P0126 or P0128? Another possibility is that you might have a "defective" new thermostat even though this is odd. This happened to me before on another car.

    JBL head unit versus all others

    Why would you want to install an original non-JBL Toyota HU in place of the JBL one? I don't see any benefits gained for doing this :shrug:, plus there will be issues with fitting (as some folks have pointed out above) as well as wiring. Better go with an aftermarket HU (if you dislike the...

    who else loves their 4th gen

    No offense to the original post nor taking away your excitement , but my experience with these cheap eBay LED lights was that they don't last. Water would get inside the housings after only one rain and gradually damage the whole assemblies. Momo and TRS have some quality products if you can...

    Adding an USB outlet for In-Dash -- where would you mount it?

    I don't have ass warmer :biggrin2:, so i got the USB mounted next to the DAC switch. This spot is very convenient to me since it is close to the flip out tray, where my phone is placed there[/URL]~original[/IMG] all the time :cool:

    Cabin fan slows down at idle

    Cannot say much on your blower issue, but i would recommend you change out your OEM battery to see if it could improve your situation since i'm pretty sure your batt is on its way south. Mine is '06 and just changed the OEM Panasonic about 3 months ago, and i could notice a big difference in...

    Normal transmission downshift behavior?

    Both of my '06 Sport 4WD and my girlfriend's 05 Sport 2WD have the same downshifting behavior when slowing down to ~30-35 mph. My gf's currently has ~222k on the odometer with original transmission. There was an old thread where a few folks did mention about this and from their sayings, seemed...

    Nice look! Would you mind providing the numbers of bulbs needed for the cluster? What type of LED were you using?
