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

Oops... My bad hahaha thanks for the catch [MENTION=77504]mace.[/MENTION] , totally forgot to mention Front Panel Express. Great program and product. How did you mount your panel?



It's just wedged in there. It fits tight enough that it hasn't moved in months.
 
Almost died, thankfully I got a call and didn't pull into the intersection when the light first turned green.

To the little ****er in the red Jetta who blew a red light on Academy and Kelly Johnson, I hope you get ass cancer.
 
I just purchased my 2010 sr5 on Saturday and have since been finding out new things about it. Purchased it from a used car lot and found that it had a dealer installed option for hands free cell phone. Sunday I was going through the glove box and found the manual for factory remote start. Next I took to my dealership I work at at put it on a lift. Looked at the front springs and noticed they were silver (assuming not factory) and that rear springs were black. Tried to research with no luck. I did find this toy tech kit that looks similar. https://bilsteinlifts.com/shop/toyo...ec-3-lift-front-rear-coils-toyota-fj-cruiser/

What do you guys think?

Not that this is answeri your question, but I'd get that undercarriage sprayed with fluid film, rust check, waxoyl, etc. Before it really starts to take off. Ever since my 04 Tacoma frame turned to dust I'm always trying to prevent it from happening again, trust me you don't want to let it go for years:offtopic:

Took quite a while, but finished installing my custom panel in the space under the A/C controls

Trimmed down my scanguage to sit in flush in the top of the panel, inserted the switchpros in the center, a cigarette lighter with a dual USB outlet on the opposite side, then the override switch for my front and rear cameras, and lastly a indicator light for when my secure idle system is engaged.

What is a secure idle system?

I almost said something about the rust. I need to coat a few items. Just some more stuff to tinker with to keep me busy. Thanks for the input!

Springs is lucky they have a Cracker Barrel or else i'd never visit. :hungry:
 
K&N cabin filter? Just from your pic it looks inferior to OEM because it has 22 pleads vs Toyota's 30. Maybe better media or quality? I just get OEM charcoal and it has been flawless for 12 month intervals.
 
What is a secure idle system?

Secure idle is typically installed in police cars and emergency vehicles. It allows the driver to remove the keys and keep the car running and has built in security to shut off the car if someone attempts to shift it into gear.

Do i need it? No... Is it cool and somewhat useful? Yeah.
 
Got my Husky cargo liner and emblem overlays put on this morning after picking up the 4Runner from the shop. Had a knocking sound coming from the rear suspension... techs said it was the reservoir hitting the body of the truck so they trimmed a bit off. Knock hasn't come back yet.

Happy reunion with my 4Runner and 95 Tacoma today. I picked my trucks from port of Gdynia after they arrived from Oakland. Tricks survived this 6 weeks on the sea journey in excellent condition - not even a scratch. After connecting the battery both truck fired up without single hesitation.
We drove straight to "safety inspection station" - both tracks passed, so they are legal and ready to be registered here.

After getting papers in order we run to gas station to fill up their hungry bellies (fuel tank had to be drained to absolute minimum for sea travel). 95 octane is the lowest rating here but still a bit better what truck needs (95 octane EU is equivalent of 91 octane in USA). That gas station was a bit expensive at 5.03 PLN/l that is about 4.76 USD/gal (locally I pay 4.38USD/gal).

Then 360 miles trip to my home city. Freeways in Poland have speed limit 90mph but to save fuel we were doing only 80. Still to fast for fuel economy, so I got only 18mpg (both Tacoma and 4Runner). Less then 6 hours later both trucks rest for the night at my driveway. Still with California plates, for few more days.

Home sweet home.

What did they trim? Should we be on the lookout for this? Mine is coming in next week. Anyone else with 2017 Pros experiencing this? Couldn't they simply adjust the reservoir?

I know of another member here that's having the same issue and has taken it in to get it looked at. So far it appears that the techs at his dealership were also advise to do a similar thing but instead of trimming off a piece they were advise to bend back some of the metal. I'd be curious to find out how much play that reservoir bracket has once it's loosen. That would have been a much easier solution.

I don't hear a knock. Here is what mine looks like if that helps any one else.

ARB Outback Drawer

Installed my ARB Outback Solutions roller drawer this week. Also built a flat platform in the cargo area for the drawer to bolt down to. Used 3/4" birch ply, primed and coated with bed liner.

I still need to add tie-down track to the top of the drawer and on the left side next to the drawer on the cargo plate. Installed T-nuts in the cargo plate so I can easily bolt things down. I'm also planning on making some drawer dividers to keep things neatly organized. Eventually I will add a 2nd drawer next to this when I have the funds, but no rush at this point. I also want to add a sleeping platform extension that mounts to the rear drawers for support.
