  3. Glove box latches to cure rattle (3D print)

    If you get two sets printed, and they work well, I'll buy a set and pay for the shipping. PM me if you'd be willing to do something like this. TIA!

  4. Germany Disables Toyota Features Remotely

    I'm confused. Your news link states Toyota has removed app based remote start from vehicles in Germany due to their law against unnecessary vehicle idling, yet disabling your DCM does the same thing: "Most of your vehicles safety features and Navigation options will not be impeded by installing...

  5. Wanting to keep the engine running when coming to a stop

The rearward cross five tire rotation has been the go-to rotation pattern for vehicles with five matching wheels/tires for as long as I can remember, with...

  11. Spare Tire Overtightened / Marks (rubbing damage)

    Aren't 4Runner's spare wheels mounted face up, meaning the dents would be on the outside sidewall of the tire? I know my full-size spare on my Trailhunter is like this.

  12. 5k service. poor customer experience.

    Moby, I'm not trying to downplay your frustrations, but just to be clear, this is poor customer service at this dealership, not Toyota. I too had a streaky windshield on the 2025 4Runner I just purchased. One of the very first things I did was to clean it with Invisible Glass Glass Stripper...

  13. Spare Tire Overtightened / Marks (rubbing damage)

    Honestly, I'm not surprised, given how thin that piece of plastic is. I agree that someone needs to come up with a fix.
