“Unfortunately, sometimes we launch a great vehicle, and we don’t have the necessary wiring hookups or a pilot holes to add accessories. And it’s kind of like an afterthought. Should be really upfront in the upstream part of the planning,” I like this. I wish the 4R was better about this. We...

I normally hate tack-on stuff, but I gotta say these look pretty slick.

This is great. Thanks for the recipe.

Well I mean I did say that right in the readme. :)

That print looks really good. What printer do you have?

Already posted right in this thread way back in September.

Only cheap in the long run but for about 100-120 you can get a reader/programmer that works on unlimited vehicles forever with no subscription, just the one time purchase. I've already used it twice on different makes & models and spanning different months, so it's already paid for itself as far...

Why are you asking them? That is what they are asking whoever might know, is exactly that. If you know for a fact that there is no difference because you have been inside the trans and can show what happens in both cases, in all possible conditions like hills or cold oil or idling etc, the why...

Because there is no such thing as a new 3rd gen, and I don't want a Tacoma, and do want a Toyota. In fact I almost did not "why even buy an automatic". While still shopping I almost got a 2014 FJ just to get at least slightly new kinda-4runner in manual. But a '14 fj is still pretty old and FJ...

And I can't stand that I have to use this automatic. It's always not going when I want and going when I don't want, and I never have this problem on my decrepit old 3rd gen, or 1st gen, or any other manual I've ever owned regardless of make or model. I even have the OTT tune now. If anything...

I did it with a Launch X431 about $100 from aliexpress, no subscription, use forever, unlimited vehicles, all makes. Even came with a tpms learner for gm & ford. Link to details in the description.

Sounds good. No problem. They are not in my way.

You wanna drive 3 hours to meet me half way somewhere? I'll do it just for the fun of it. I'm in central nj and it looks like Owego is the half-way point. I'll bring the torque wrench and bolts and throw 'em on. It will be a wash for us both in terms of money just because of the gas, but I'll be...

I would probably be constitutionally incapable of resisting the urge to make this jack do double duty as a 12v power source, and add a switch to make the exposed jack not live so water/snow/salty snow can get all over it. Or conversely maybe adding a big diode so that the +12v can only go in...

They also make a plug that goes in the OBDII port. It's not as convenient for regular frequent repeated use as a jack on the outside. If you are going to want to plug in regularly, then it's definitely worth installing a jack. But if ity's only going to be occasionally, you don't have to...

Anyway thanks for the part numbers and links.

Good god. Just holy hell. And I don't even know who to blame. Is it really just that thoughtless design? Or did all designers involved hate this as much as I do, but execs forced them to do it this way to reduce part counts and assembly steps, at the expense of all other priorities like...

Wow. Well I guess it makes sense to bother trying to rebuild the lip after all. That is kind of ridiculous to have such a big part so easily broken. I mean it's a mudflap. it IS going to take hits. At least the part costs less than I would have imagined.

Here's the original expansion nuts vs the license plate nuts. They need to poke through more than one layer on the back side so I found these unusual ones that are longer than most. I can't find a link for them on the Ace hardware site. They were in the loose hardware drawers, and they were...

The u-clip nuts were originally on part 1, now they are on part 2, and parts 1 & 2 are not connected to each other any more. Part 2 is not super rigid and only connected by real screws over on the inboard side. At the outboard side it's only attached by those loose push button rivets. So when...
