Looking up this issue here just made my day. I must have just barely tapped that rear window button with my hand or something else. I use that rear wiper all the time. This is why forums like this are so useful. Thanks all.

Thanks for your input. It is much appreciated. I spent time today with my son in the 4th gen and the 5th gen runners.

This is my first post in this section of the forum. Long time owner of a 2006 4th gen, which I still own, but as of yesterday I now also own a 2022 5th gen TRD Pro in Lime Rush with 13k on it. Got it for a good deal. Still a lot to learn about all the dials and buttons. Hopefully my pic...

Since this is a rear driver side window and not the back window I would think there are only two options and one of those you seem to have somewhat eliminated. I have a bunch of cameras surrounding my home and sometimes they pick up things and rarely not. The only other option is that the...

Nitto just released a new upgrade to the Grappler G2 at SEMA two weeks ago and so holdover stock from the model for the last several years are now being discounted. Mine were $180-190. The G2's are not overly aggressive AT's.

They are the OEM running boards. I might change them out, but they look better with these wheels than the stock ones.

Thanks. I'm terrible with this stuff.

I cannot figure how to imbed pics into the thread directly. I've done it multiple ways and it just doesn't seem to work.

Finally upgraded my wheels and tires. Next up is new shocks and struts. Wheels, 17x9 KMC and Nitto Terra Grappler G2 in OEM size. These live most of their life on the road so not overly aggressive. The OEM rims kept leaking and the Firestone Destination LE tires were fine for highway in dry...

It generally happened between 45-65 mph or that was at least when it was most pronounced. A vibration or a stutter. These things can be difficult to pin down because sometimes they only happen under certain loads or within certain harmonic ranges. LOL. It's like tuning a guitar or bringing a...

My F150 did something similar. In that case it was two things; corroded lines for the trans cooling lines leaking fluid and there was an ignition coil going bad that showed itself until certain loads but never threw a code.

I put mine in 4H once a month or anytime in rains. I find it actually runs better in the rain in 4H. It rained today and I had to run some errands. Went right into 4x4, no problem. The first thing I did when I bought 2006 4Runner was to replace all of the diff and transfer case with Amsoil...

A neighbor has a '91 with I think a '97 engine in his. Like me is an engineer (except he works as one and I don't). We think alike. He helps me with cars and I help him with bikes. And we both help one another coming up with ways to solve problems without spending a lot on special tools. The...

To each his own. Apples and oranges. I have driven the FRS and consider it a fine vehicle. A neighbor has one. It is not really relevant to me in a discussion of an old British style roadster. Completely different type of vehicle. If you compare it to my old ISF it doesn't really compete. For...

I have driven all of the generations and I like these the best.
