  1. Drunk Driver sideswiped me only 600 miles in 😢

    That would be true for most collision repair centers, it's not particular to a dealership. The days of bondo and paint are mostly gone, particularly with panels that are designed to crumple in an accident.
  2. Alignment Specs

    is OP saying the steering wheel is off center sitting on flat ground with wheels straight or while driving with vehicle pulling to the right? I assumed the latter, hence my comment about road crown. Where I live, we have some roads with significant crown and you do have to counteract it with...
  3. Alignment Specs

    Road crown/grade can cause a slight pull one way or the other, usually to the right on a two-lane road that's crowned in the middle.
  4. Transmission & transfer case skids compatible with TRD skid plate?

    Someone else can chime in who perhaps has the oem aluminum plate and the transmission skid plate installed, but I installed the Trailhunter-equivalent Landcruiser front skid plate and the transmission skid plate on my gas SR5 recently, and I don’t know of an installation reason the transmission...
  5. Factory tow hooks shipped damaged

    That assumes these are going to get used, of course.
  6. Transmission warms up, then cools and takes longer to warm up

    I have an SR5, which may have a different gauge appearance for the transmission than yours, but I generally drive with the engine oil and trans temp gauge screen showing, at least until it warms up (after which I switch to watching boost). In my experience, per the gauge my transmission...
  7. Reminder: you may be able to deduct the sales tax paid on your 4Runner purchase (US federal income taxes)

    I sometimes wonder if these sorts of completely misguided and off-topic responses are based on AI queries by the posters? Which then serve as fodder for more AI learning, creating an endless feedback loop of increasingly worthless information. I'd like to think that, otherwise, I can't imagine...
  8. Reminder: you may be able to deduct the sales tax paid on your 4Runner purchase (US federal income taxes)

    The OP is talking about the SALT deduction. The two responses are talking about loan interest deduction.
  9. Air bubbles in OEM Factory PPF (in front of rear fender)

    FWIW, I think mine is entirely a PIO (Southeast Toyota).
  10. Air bubbles in OEM Factory PPF (in front of rear fender)

    Mine is like this. I haven’t worried too much about it, but my guess is it’s going to be impossible to put PPF on the heavily orange peel textured paint areas and have it adhere without some air gaps.
  11. Strange mark on my hood

    That would bug me as well . . .
  12. Torque Spec for Oil Filter Installation

    I think maybe you're missing the point. Historically, turning the canister filter some rotational distance past the point at which the gasket first contacts the filter mount IS the spec, like the info I gave you from the Factory Service Manual for the 100 Series Land Cruiser. I think you may...
  13. Torque Spec for Oil Filter Installation

    This is one of these replies that doesn't precisely address the question, but I just did the oil on my 2000 Land Cruiser and for the oil filter, the FSM says to hand tighten it until the filter gasket contacts the filter mounting seat and then tighten it 3/4 of a turn more. So that's the "spec"...
  14. SR5 Owners - What do you think?

    I've only had mine two weeks, but in that time the one thing that has irritated me about the spartan feature set on the SR5 is the manual dimming rearview mirror. I'm fine with the manual climate control, the smaller screen, the manual liftgate, etc. But to have the same ancient rearview...
  15. Squeaky suspension in negative temps?

    I'll never experience negative temps where I live, but if you need a good dry lubricant for plastic, etc., look at 3M Silicone Lubricant 08877. I've use it to address squeaks and similar rubbing-induced noises on door seals, hinges, and plastic trim on some of my other vehicles (as well as...
