If you have access to another dealer… you may want to just try that. Per above… my experience was a total non-event. I put it in my notes and they knocked it out. It’s baffling to me that you’d have to fight so hard.

I spent a lot of time over thinking this. Landed on Cutting Edge. It has been great so far. FWIW, underground is my fav color on the 4R, but on a beach truck… ease was the goal.

This it blinks until 4HI is actually engaged.

I have the Landcruiser skid plate. It’s identical to the TRAILHUNTER skid with two exceptions: - it says “TOYOTA” vs “TRAILHUNTER” - it has a straight front edge vs the angular cutouts on the TRAILHUNTER version (this somewhat prevents the chin spoiler from fitting) I like having TOYOTA in...

Mad Max vibes

V6T = lexus upsell Not going to happen. Outside the noise, I think the 4-banger does well in the vehicle.

In my experience most of the moisture you see is in the seal which is a tad porous. VW window seals are similar. If it bothers you, you can park it in the sun. IMHO, this all sounds normal.

Toyota SET installs 265/65R17 nitto ridge grapplers as a port option so I believe 265s are fine. I have the above, and would have preferred 265/70r17 if I could have picked myself. Looks better, more side wall and a more accurate spedo.

If it’s cold outside and you park outside it can take a while. Unlike the engine bay there isn’t a lot of heat either. As it’s been mentioned… you can check the drain holes. FWIW, you can often see moisture at the base of the passenger door windows glass as well.

I took my SR5 in for an early oil change, o notes the TSB in the online appointment form. They were able to knock it out. The said it was pads + hardware and add an hour to the service. 🤞 the noise doesn’t return.

I had mine fall off at the dealership. They washed it (asked them not to), and I didn’t notice till I got home that it was blasted off. I may try the mod above in this thread or similar to avoid losing it again.

It’s helps if you skip the “calibration” which you likely don’t need… but they will certainly sell it to a willing customer.

Does the SR5 have fake engine noise? I’ve never noticed it. Maybe because I am not in “sport”.

I thought I red on here that they are the same part. Let an expert chime in though.
