They haven't answered yet, but their about-us says it's just a single guy with a day job, and it is (was) a holiday weekend. So I guess I'll just wait a bit more before I try to hunt down the connectors and pinouts to see just what all has to happen. ... ok I gave up waiting and just ordered...

Maybe by switching the batteries, you "rebooted" them, and that's why the non-working one started working. Everything is fragile and sucks these days.

Similarly and opposite, I wish there was a way to make them stay on until I explicitly turn them off. Accessory mode is always shutting off when I'm in the middle of something. I keep forgetting to see if it's adjustable via obd2 like with the fake engine noises and seatbelt alarm. On my 3rd...

You just expressed at least 2 different ideas that make no sense at all. 1, It's obviously the opposite of hassle now that I have figured out a solution I like. I have my priorities of things I want, and it took some effort to figure out how to attain those goals. Now I more or less have. Good...

Awww yeah baby! (updated video now includes removing and reinstalling the jack bracket) It's possible to stow the jack tools kit under the jack, freeing the jack tools cubby for your own use, which I use for a trailer hitch. There is a cavern of space between the interior panel and the body...

There is nothing about the squeal that implies excess heat or wear or anything that would be visible. This is why the dealerships all keep saying "we don't see anything wrong". The squeal makes a lot of noise but there is almost no energy involved. It's all noise and no force. It's the same...

In my drawing, the stick is basically everthing in a chain from the rotor surface, through the pad, to several different contact points all around the pad to the caliper, to the knuckle. And ultimately to the frame but I'm just going to assume that the knuckle is more or less solid and it's...

Since the volume requires a resonance, and that is easy to disrupt even if you can't change any other variables, by absorbing the initial input vibration energy as it's being created so it can't sync up and amplify (ex like putting dynomat in your doors) I bet one possible cheap fix is just...

It is universal. It's just marginal. Chatter requires setting up a resonance. That can be a finnicky slightly random thing that comes and goes. Obviously they tried to design to avoid any resonances in general, and so even though they failed, they still did at least come close, so it's...

I don't see how any of the things in the video can do much for this chatter. All of it looks like things that only affects how hard the pads drag on the rotor when *not* braking. The 4runner brake squeal only happens when applying light, but still active positive brake pressure. And it only...

On top of that, it's just an example of chatter. Any first year completely understands chatter, what causes it, and various ways to address it. It boggles me that Toyota don't know exactly what part of the design of the caliper is allowing it to happen, and 3 different ways to disrupt it by now...

A lot of pads come that way out of the box. Can't be that dirty.

I just grabbed one of those round lights at a local lowes, and it does fit exactly perfect both diameter and depth, but a bonus that's not apparent from the pics is the orange outside part is all silicone rubber not plastic, so it doesn't rattle.

Not on SR5.

I started researching oddball items to make a little kit that has all the classic janky repair stuff as a joke. First, a small roll of duct tape, then some zip ties wrapped around that, and some ketchup packets of lube to take the place of wd-40, maybe other packets of glue & wet-naps stuffed...

I managed to cram a few things in with the tire iron. If you put something solid between the tire iron bag and the wall, about 1.5 inches, then strap that down, it creates a space between the tire iron bag and the wall that you can stuff things in to and the tire iron holds it in place so you...

Raising the floor 5 inches and then carving out a couple pockets is not exactly a gain in storage.

Or the fixed steps. They are the most basic/cheapest steps, but they are an option not standard. There's some other things I happen to know about but don't see here like the hood liner, black lug nuts.

But it's basically useless just like the arm rest trays with no kind of door or cover to hold stuff in place. That air pump in the tray doesn't weigh much and has a velcro strap around the handle into the weird fence thing. It's 12v cigarrette cord is trapped between it and the wall. And the...

Among the 6200 different details of what all is in the different trim levels, what all is available as a possible option in the different trim levels, and what all inventory was available or on the way at any dealers within a days drive around me... this is just a freaking detail I missed. And...
