Hello all,
Just wondering what some of you are using for your OBD2 tool.?
Speaking specifically for brake pad replacements, engine light resets and engine code analysis.
Not looking for an elaborate/hundreds of dollars for a tool, just something that is practical and usable for me the average...
So this is for a hybrid model. Mine is non hybrid. I'll have to check with the dealer parts people to see if this is the same for all models. Thanks for the info.
Hello all,
Does anybody know if Toyota just makes a transmission plate for the underside. I have toyed with the full plate that TRD aftermarket offers but I choose not to have one panel to do everything,
I like them broken down into individual plates.
So really all I need is a transmission...
I would only add oil if it needs it. Gear oil expands and creates a lot of pressure. But keep in mind the differentials have venting caps. These are supposed to close when submerged. I would not trust them; so if you should submerge your axles I would definitely check for water in there.
I'm...
Yeah I had a big time lemon Mercedes that had the same kick issue, erratic problem where I looked like a one-legged Flamingo doing The Jig every time I tried to open the hatch with my hands full!
This is for the birds no pun intended.
Mine works and then it doesn't, then it will open with a...
We should keep this information on the down low because all the smash and grab jackasses out there won't need to smash anymore! They can just push really hard and get in. That was the first thing that I thought of when I saw my rear quarter Windows spongy like that. Easy easy access! But I...
Mine is loud also. I did notice that with other models at the dealership for comparison it was blatantly loud on all of them I looked at. I personally don't feel that is normal. I am thinking this is a design defect that will surface next year or third year in this generation. Most likely out of...
Well I went out there and checked it, and mine is perfectly tight on both back windows and front windows. Typical 4Runner window seal. Yours does look odd. I took a picture for comparison. Mine is an orp.
Don't those have an option of going 1.5 to 3 in? I know once you get over about 2 in your upper has to be changed for the best alignment. Did you get the full kit with the upper control arm or just the struts and shocks? Thanks in advance I've been looking at these as well.
Well I've spent years trying to live a low-key lifestyle, I even bought a RAV4 in white. And I do think that Toyota did make a RAV4 with this exact same color and you do not see many around like that.
We're mostly the monotone colors, just look around, black, silver, white,gray.
I remember the...
I have been thinking about that as well, because I do not see any access holes. I haven't been that fired up to head down to the local dealership parts department and pick their brain for a breakdown of it. Hope someone chimes in with details.
Hello Van,
by any chance do you have the part number for that Toyota skid plate for the transmission engine. It looks like it's one piece, I can't really tell. Thanks in advance
Yep I agree, The way the back seats are designed now and the battery pack raising the rear cargo floor is odd.
I stuck with the standard gas Turbo. I feel that's a pretty simple Powertrain. Looking at it closely the front and rear differential are very easy to do maintenance on as well as the...
Yes in small cars it's very minimal.
I did that to a RAV4 hybrid and increased the tire size to a size up with michelins. Made all the difference.
But I also did the butal mat in a two-stage process meaning I did the Butyl mat first and then backed it with a thin sound deadening insulated foam...
That's how it starts!😂
But wait!
There's nothing like sound deadening your doors so you can have that stereo sound even better and a quieter ride.
Maybe even going with an under the hood sound/heat insulation.
I personally don't see the insulation as a modification more of an upgrade. Mine...
Yep, I agree, when I got my 5R off-road I never saw any, but by 2016 they were everywhere! I'm pretty sure this will be the same. I've already seen a few in my area that have been decked out to the max! And most of them always seem to be passing me up and accelerating a lot faster than my...
Well I'll chime in on this one,
I'm not a rock crawler so the 17 inch wheel does me no good, I prefer the 18 in, gives me more height and ground clearance with a taller Tire basically a skinny 32.5, and the ride isn't as jarring.
If it's worth anything I've been down the modded road before...
