I wonder if the Hybrid trims get the axels, and not necessarily the gas-only OR trims. Due to the torque differences in electric vs gas.

@DangItsDen where did you buy the kit from? It looks like Olathe has the kit available for a good price, even with shipping.

It's a raw deal in that sense, yes. Ultimately, you can go with an aftermarket lift and suspension and void your warranty with respect to most anything Toyota corporate deems is affected by your modding adventure. In terms of dollars and cents, Toyota has to build 4Runners for $20,000 out the...

Very intriguing! The stock ORP ride is very harsh to be honest, and this seems like a good factory approved fix / OEM+ mod.

I have LT275/70-18 E loads and went up to 37psi. Seems fine, wear is good - still doing 19.8mpg.

Yes, those were factory. A/C smells way better! The original cabin felt pretty flimsy to be honest, weighed nothing. 1yr / 6k mi, a good bit of it off roading in Colorado.

Replaced original cabin filter with the Wix, very brown and dusty. Also replaced the engine air filter while I was at it, and noted that the Hengst filter has a snow guard in addition.

They are all around 10-20psi of dP to be honest, the aftermarket isn't in the business of grenading engines. https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/the-myth-of-flow-over-efficiency.398959/ This thread deep dives the topic. Reading through all this led me to the conclusion that the Toyota...

I don't believe springs are calibrated per vehicle on this one, the N1 filter fit multiple engine and models in the Toyota family. If you look up that part number, it fits every thing from Yaris to Highlander to 4Runner - it's multi purpose. All of the oil bypass springs are concerned with...

Yep, often this was a hidden feature you could enable on your BMW, Mercedes, VW with a coding tool. I converted my GTI and 340i to ECE pattern headlight beams, and enabled the anti-dazzle high beams. Driving along at 62mph+ / 100km/h with the auto-high beam set to ON, you could see your high...

AI reply guy slop aside, this is my choice of oil filter: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=478677&cc=3458784&pt=5340&jsn=627 https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/virgin-beck-arnley-041-8066-vic-c-110-c-p-toyota-90915-yzzn1-equivalent.390740/ "This is the filter Toyota should...

This video demonstrates his sentiments: Toyota oil filters favor oil flow over oil filtration. The folks on BITOG did observe a run of the OEM N1 filter suffering quality issues relating to pleats/glue some time ago. Fact is, Toyota sells you filters at retail for $5 - meaning they must be...

Lol another oil filter thread! Toyota engines run clean in general and don't necessarily need 99% @ 20 micron efficiency in their filters. Because Toyota buys 999999999 filters from Denso each year, they do spec cheaper filter media that causes their filters to be known as rock catchers...

Wild that my mom's X5 has cheaper German made cabin filters than Toyota OEM or Wix.

Have heard this about house hvac systems, but not for cars. All of my German cars going back to 2007 have used this type of filter, and I also use it in my wife's Honda. Should have no effect, other than reducing the outside odors and allergens. The basic paper filter is comical if you ask me.

Looks like Toyota uses a cheap, non-charcoal enhanced one for the cabin filter? Wix offers this one - WIX WP10652 - but it's rather expensive for charcoal + microban anti biological coating.

This happened to me once in Texas with a Golf GTI. I had replaced the all-red incandescent rear tail lamps with full LED w/t amber turn signal EU market lights. Failed because there was no DOT stamp on them, only a part number and ECE code.

Toyota doesn't make brake pads, discs, fluid, or calipers. They are procured from 3rd party companies like Denso, Advics, Aisin, Hitachi, Tokico, Stanley Electric, etc. Same with the German cars, who buy sub assemblies in from companies like Brose, Webasto, Continental VDO, Bosch, etc. My...

It's a supplier issue I'm guessing. The brake sub assembly arrives pre-assembled to the Toyota factory and they just slap it in on the line. The problem likely was Advics or whoever had an issue with bad brake pads, or didn't properly shim and grease the assemblies before delivery.

I had mine done under warranty about 2-3wks ago, and the problem seems fixed. New pads, shims, and re-grease. Original pads appeared glazed, as per the notes.
