I think I’ve figured this out, at least in my usage in an SR5 with PT4WD. I’ve had this happen twice now, with the last time it going into 4low while in park, which set off an alert My son is learning to drive and so we swap in and out of the driver’s seat, which we have to adjust to account...

FWIW, the blue crush washers are metal (aluminum or aluminum alloy of some sort). The blue is a sealing coating. It could be the new/different ones are the same but with a different color coating. I suppose you could saw one in half and see if that’s the case.

For anyone who posts “it’s a truck” to excuse the stock ride quality of the 6th Gen, since 1998 I’ve driven nothing but trucks (F-150) or BOF SUVs (2nd and 4th Gen 4Runner and 100 Series LC), and my 6th Gen SR5 is the harshest ride of any of them by far (including an F150 with load range E LT...

The “antenna” in the liftgate window is for defrost/defogging.

Is it the turbo whistling?

Depends on what you mean by “smooth ride.” My SR5 with SL Ridge Grapplers at 34 psi rides like a jitterbug at low speeds with any sort of road imperfections, but is quite smooth at 75 mph on a decent interstate highway. I’m pretty sure I could air down to 20 psi and wouldnt solve the ride...

I posted this before (maybe in another thread) but the Ark mudflaps are easy to trim to the length you want. I ordered the full length and trimmed to where I wanted (I ended up only trimming the front ones because for whatever reason they had several inches less ground clearance on my truck than...

I assume you know this but as noted above you have to toggle to the “standard” cruise control option BEFORE pressing the cruise control button above the toggle switch. You cannot toggle to standard option after pressing the cruise control button. I see that error message if I try to do so. It...

Thanks for the post. I’m going to file this away for future reference. In addition to better looks, is the new armrest noticeably more comfortable for an elbow to rest? That would be a nice low cost add to an SR5 if so.

Tire size doesn't affect this measurement.

You can trim the Ark to length with a sharp razor knife. I took a couple inches off the regular front wheel Ark flaps because the stuck down so much. The rear ones don’t, so I left them alone.

That would be true for most collision repair centers, it's not particular to a dealership. The days of bondo and paint are mostly gone, particularly with panels that are designed to crumple in an accident.

is OP saying the steering wheel is off center sitting on flat ground with wheels straight or while driving with vehicle pulling to the right? I assumed the latter, hence my comment about road crown. Where I live, we have some roads with significant crown and you do have to counteract it with...

Road crown/grade can cause a slight pull one way or the other, usually to the right on a two-lane road that's crowned in the middle.

Someone else can chime in who perhaps has the oem aluminum plate and the transmission skid plate installed, but I installed the Trailhunter-equivalent Landcruiser front skid plate and the transmission skid plate on my gas SR5 recently, and I don’t know of an installation reason the transmission...
