Well done! Nice and clean. Did you change the tires to a taller narrower profile?

Yes there are many butyl Matt sound deadening materials out there that stick very well. And there are many YouTube videos to show the basic procedure. I did this on my RAV4 hybrid limited. I feel that most of the videos are over the top because they are audiophiles. I was more interested in...

Same here I think it rides just fine I just want to get rid of that stink bug look! My fifth gen had the Bilstein leveling kit and it was fantastic with compression and rebound! And I did a lot of ground pounding.

Well for me personally I went with the TRD off road orp non-hybrid. I particularly like that model because it offers you the option between the two drivetrains. The other high end models are very nice but significantly more which put financing and taxes over the top for me was not realistic...

No, it's just a 12 volt battery with a glass mat internal so it doesn't leak. My 5th gen early model was so basic, I was expecting to have to recalibrate the windows but that did not happen. I have read some articles on maintenance with the 6th gen that the windows had to be recalibrated and...

Crap I was just watching a YouTube clip of some PhD at a university that explains the iForce Max powertrain on how the engine and the electric motor, transmission and transfer case are all connected; he even has a model of it on his workbench and explains the kind of output the electric motor...

your pic is a leaded acid battery with liquid in it.. all you have to do is unscrew one of those caps and look inside and you will see the acid in there. My 5th gen had the same kind of battery and lasted almost five years and was still good but I replaced it with a AGM.

Yeah I just noticed that on my 25 orp, it has a spare tire that has a wheel exactly what is on all four. My 5th gen gave me a steel wheel. So I never rotated that out. Guess I'll have to be telling the tire folks to rotate out the spare. Or I'll just take it off and put it in the back so there's...

Well I personally like the 58 with the round headlights. The new Land Cruiser is nice as well, but doesn't seem as roomy for some reason in the cockpit area. The seats are a little bit more refined than the 25 4Runner also having a lot of plastic. Ground clearance probably isn't as good on the...

But I'm guessing you have the iForce Max Hybrid model? I believe those keep the internals powered. But the standard 12 volt system like mine not sure about.

Hey thanks for that bit of information. I did find the part at a Toyota parts and a pretty clear process of installing which is pretty much Plug and Play. My concern is did you have to recalibrate your windows or your info system for settings after the disconnect of the 12 volt negative...

I agree being this a first-year model. I've always balked at getting the extended warranty. And luckily in my 5th generation I never had to use it.. but I digress to say that with the turbo pushing this engine I am trying to think positive and probably do very frequent oil changes. And yes the...

Hello thanks for this breakdown of the install. Where did you order the lights from? I see them on a few Toyota parts sites but you mentioned that you were able to find a good deal on them. Thanks in advance

Hello, I heard that this is an accessory that can be purchased. I can't seem to find it but I know I saw it once line somewhere for around $300. Can somebody share the link if they know of this. Thank you in advance

Thank you yes I just increased my tire pressure too 40 PSI and that seemed to make a pretty good difference. Thanks for your comments

Well I had the 5100 leveling kit on my 5th gen and it made the ride very planted and smooth but with Superior damping and rebound. My new ORP seems a little bouncy as I'm driving down flat asphalt. That's probably a byproduct of poor valving. I wonder what shock that really is with its...

I personally don't think they do anything but just to make sure there's fluid and oil and air in the tires so you can take it off the lot for that big depreciation hit :cool:

Not saying WeatherTech is bad, but I had full set on my 5th gen it was in Channel, and after the second year they faded out a little. I was coming back from a hike I had my rear window cracked about 3 inches and I literally saw one fall out as I approached. I might give the Huskies a try.

I too had the same problem and I started to sweat bullets!. I was starting to think that I was going to have one of these new cars with electrical problems like I had on my previous Mercedes glc. If a car gets some type of parasitic virus or fault it can literally travel around within the CAN...

Did you have to do any special tapping to get that light bar installed and working two hours that's great.
