I just replaced the tail lights of my 2004 with OEM-style LED tail lights for 2006± I got off eBay. Everything bolted up nicely and the tail lights and brakes work, but the turn signals aren't flashing at all in the back and are flashing quickly in the front. Do I need resistors? Seems strange...

Just wanted to say this happened to me in my 2004 4th gen over the weekend while driving down a country road. Gave me a big shock because I wasn't sure what happened and the headliner was closed. When I realized the car was still handling finr I pulled over and looked all around the truck...

Thanks for the advice - I was looking at this setup: Andersen 'No-Sway' Weight Distribution Hitch

I've already got an OBDII sensor, so that's easy. I've never tried checking the trans temp, but that should be straight forward. Are these the airbags you are referring to? https://www.airliftcompany.com/shop/60809/ You don't use a weight-distribution hitch? No, the point would be able to...

Apologies if this has been covered, I searched and couldn't find anything. I have a 2004 V8 Limited with what looks to be the weight-distribution hitch receiver on the truck. I think this puts my towing capacity around 7000lbs. The truck has XREAS but does not have air suspension. I'm thinking...

I just took my 2004 in for its 60k mile service (the previous owners barely drive the car), and the dealer told me my driver's side CV boot was completely missing. They quoted me $860 + tax to do the work, which seems insane. Any idea why the OEM CV axle (part number 43430-60061) is $350-$450...

I got my T4R a few weeks ago, up I'm northern Westchester, it's an 04 limited v8.

Are these just for looks or are they brighter too?

XREAS shocks have hydraulic lines coming out of the top section of then, regular shocks don't. You can see this really obviously looking at the rear shocks. If you look at your frame rails, you will also see metal pipes running forward and back along the outside of the rails. Those are the...

Yeah but I don't have kids! If anyone was going to be back there... I definitely would have gotten them!

I put the WeatherTech digital in the front of mine this week. With all this snow we've been having I think you made a good call on those! I cheaped and skipped the back though.

Still have the trunk mats? I'll take them from 100 shipped

In case anyone is wondering, the dealer ended up having an independent shop replace the socks with new X-REAS shocks. I wanted them to put the Bilsteins on, but they wouldn't really deal with me until after the work was done, so I didn't have much say. It cost them something like $1500. I...

I'm not upset at the dealer at all, I think they are doing what they need to do, it's just a frustrating situation. They are supposed to call Toyota today too see what else can be done, and I'll propose they put new shocks on it. littlehandegan, I was thinking of trying to follow the truck...

Yeah, they seemed really nervous about doing that, but I'm going to give it a shot and see what they say. I haven't read up on the upgrade options, so I'll do that before I talk to them.
