Top 10 5G 4Runner Questions

FYI we do have a FAQ section at the top of the mods and write-ups sticky. I can always add FAQ threads to that and not have to make a new space taking sticky :spy:
 
3 I know I've researched in the first week.

Can you add a 3rd row to a TE?
Automatic headlights and if your lights turn off after locking the car with lights switch 'On'?
Why are so there many things to do and not enough time/money!?
 
How to remove door panels?
What size speakers fit in each location?
Infinity Kappas? (I wasn't sure how to use this one in a question, lol)
 
Great idea, though as someone who writes documentation for a living I can tell you nobody will ever read it... :hiding: Is everyone making suggestions seriously going to make 1e find the links to the relevant threads on his own? :eek:

Why did my rear window defrost and wiper stop working?
- Rear window is not fully closed. Close rear window completely and try again.
 
1) What the hell is the matter with phillyd2?
2) Seriously !?!

Main two are Wheels / Tires and Suspension. I know when I was looking it was a real PIA finding info and following various threads down various rabbit holes. I think the Modifications, Write-Ups, Quick Links, and FAQ's sticky is a great start. Mr. Jesse will add additional links if you let him know but that means that we all must step up in the process.

A better way would be how they do How To Technical Articles on the FJ forum. Using Antman's oil change write up as a example, they will just take the meat of it and put a read only version in that section with a link to his build thread if any want to comment and ask questions. Of course this would take a lot of work to organize and keep updated. so maybe not doable.

Add to that the fact that subjects such as Wheels / Tires and Suspension are in many way subjective so there really is no right answer to Which Lift Should I Get?

At the end of the day I think sometimes we are our own worse enemy, me included. Instead of taking some time to search we just start a new thread instead of bumping a older one the same subject. Hell, not long ago we had two started like a week apart on the Gobi Ladder. So maybe a Sticky on HOW TO SEARCH? :eyebrows:

Another annoying thing we do is not follow up on questions asked. Again, I too am guilty - but more than not when I search for something I'm thrilled to find a thread on it that just sort of dies out without anybody posting what they learned / did, or if whatever it was turned out as they wanted.
 
I guess it's a good sign but I would have thought potential buyers may have asked about potential or frequent problems with the 4Runner.
 
Those of us that have been here awhile have answered many questions. I would like to put together a "Top 10" list of questions new owners ask the forum. I will take the top 10 and provide a few links for each that answer the question. Even though [MENTION=48772]Jesse1983[/MENTION] is stingy (and rightly so) with what he considers "sticky worthy" topics, if it is not made into a sticky at least we could link them to a "Top 10 Questions" thread.

So let's hear it. Start throwing commonly asked questions out there and I will compile them next week. I'll start:

What's your gas mileage?

8,446 = threads. 145,369 = post. Only 10 are not ephemera?
I agree, thin the herd :laser: starting with my own lol.
 
lololol.....


I say the next idiot that ask "how do I black out my chrome?"....we cut JayG's German Shepard loose to chew their nut sack off....



:pound:

Sweet! We have been doing a lot of bite work....he may still have a problem with the release command though! :)
