  1. Third row seat deletion

    If I understand this you want to add 3rd row. To do that row two will need to move forward 5 or 6 inches. That is the sacrifice you make to 2nd row leg room by adding 3rd row. I would not have bought mine if I had known that. (Bought it in transit and never gave a thought to 2nd row leg room...
  2. Drunk Driver sideswiped me only 600 miles in 😢

    Check around with others that have body work done. Maybe get a reference or two. I have never had body work done in a dealership. Most of my dealership mechanical repair experiences have not been very good. Seems the dealerships are always watching the $$$ not the quality of workmanship. IMO A...
  3. Drunk Driver sideswiped me only 600 miles in 😢

    Some of the better shops will make that go away looking like new. You will know of course but repairs and paint can work magic. Good luck
  4. Gasoline fumes while driving and after driving - 2025 4Runner TRD Pro

    Not knowing what effect this test actually has on components, what would happen if it ran excessively? My guess is no alarm. No code because it did not fail. Which is why no codes popped up at the dealer. Could it cause fuel vapors?
  5. Gasoline fumes while driving and after driving - 2025 4Runner TRD Pro

    I think this is the culprit. Might be over the spare. Not sure how long the test should run but there are reports of them getting stuck on for hours.
  6. Gasoline fumes while driving and after driving - 2025 4Runner TRD Pro

    Bothered the heck out of me as well. Not something I would design into anything let alone an automobile. But there it was whizzing away, either a compressor or vacuum pump. It had been parked for a few hours in the driveway. When I left the house it was apparent something was running out there...
  7. Gasoline fumes while driving and after driving - 2025 4Runner TRD Pro

    Not sure if this could be related but In Nov this year with 1500 or so miles on the truck I heard this whirring sound coming from the drivers side near the rear wheel. Loud enough to hear 15 or more feet away. Sounded like a miniature air compressor. All ignition etc off. Not sure how long it...
  8. Snow packing inside the doors

    Lousy seal approach. of the 4 cars here only the Toyota shows road junk inside. The bigger problem is how do you flush the salt out?
  9. Cleaning road salt after winter storm

    Unfortunately further north and west driving through it is a daily occurrence for 5 or 6 months. They seem to throw that stuff down 2 0r 3 times a week. There are car washes that have undercarriage spray - probably better than nothing. If I could I would use a garden hose. As for external...
  10. Trick to get rear hatch close and lock?

    I believe the button with the lock on it can also be used to control how far the hatch opens. When I was messing with it as you did the hatch ended up only opening maybe 75% of full. Somewhere in the manual I found the usual 4runner machinations to reset to factory. Steps are Long lost to history.
  11. Did anyone’s 4Runner come standard with the “secret” flashlight lantern in dash cubby hole?

    Not only a secret compartment with a secret brush but secret code stamped on the cover. My guess is Morse Code. Maybe a ham operator is out there somewhere to help out. I have seen a bunch of interpretations but none from an amateur radio operator.
  12. Reminder: you may be able to deduct the sales tax paid on your 4Runner purchase (US federal income taxes)

    VIN specific. If your 4 runner VIV starts with J (Japan) it is a no go.
  13. Post beach day cleaning / detailing advice?

    From a mariner's perspective, no matter how often or careful you are cleaning after salt water use, Including fresh water engine flush things go to hell. It just isn't possible to clean the minerals from all the nooks and crannies. Look at for sale boat advertisements, a big plus is fresh water...
  14. What size hitch drop (towing my motorcycle)

    What I have done is set the trailer on level ground, get the trailer frame as close to horizontal as possible back the truck to the trailer hitch take some measurements. Not sure of your bike trailer configuration but the top of the frame is a good reference point to the ground. That dimension...
  15. 5k service. poor customer experience.

    There are liquid wax's- not really a wax- the dealers spray on to get a quick but non-lasting shine. Getting that on the windshield turns it into a radar screen, especially bad at night in rain. As I head toward my first service I am becoming less enthusiastic about dealer involvement. I have...
  16. Remote Start - Android Auto set-up

    Remote start may be a cause but that also happens when i park and return with the phone on me. Start all over again pairing. Some times carplay drops out as well. But not always. PITA The pushbutton idea could be good. At least others in the parking lot won't see some random 4runner guy yelling...
  17. '25 ORP hybrid - remote start not working from fobs but working fine from mobile app - any tips?

    Same here. At first After many failed attempts someone took the fob and pressed the unlock button many times. Then tried the remote sequence, it worked. Not sure if it was coincidence or actually got things going. I do know the timing and side of car are important. Also I have to have line of...
  18. Rear wiper sweep

    I' m to lazy to start a new subject so here goes. I looked around the secret passageway located in the left dash which is exposed when the drivers door is open. On the outside of the door there is a secret code. Don't know if there are any ham radio folks out there but that is the only thing...
  19. Rear wiper sweep

    Hadn't thought of using that 🤓
  20. Rear wiper sweep

    Is it normal for the rear wiper to clear ~ 60 degree arc on the window?
