  1. T24A-FTS Teardown

    I agree. Anything with AI BS lasts about 5 seconds for me. I don’t care what the topic is. I see so much incorrect or misinformation being pushed through YT, it’s crazy. If any content has AI or even looks like it has, its not being watched here.
  2. Front & Rear Differential Fluid Changed / Serviced (2026 4Runner 6th Gen)

    I'll stick to the 30K and 50K after for diff's and transfer case. Transmission, I cannot remember right now but its following The Car Nut's recommendation. I don't Off-road or tow anything.
  3. Front & Rear Differential Fluid Changed / Serviced (2026 4Runner 6th Gen)

    $1500 - OUCH. That is nuts. What was the $1500 consisting of, or what was the breakdown in parts vs labor? Google's AI reported $400 - $700. Not that I trust anything AI.
  4. What Brand Motor Oil Do You Use In Your 6th Gen?

    Toyota OEM for oil and filters. Many threads have debated this. Its probably more important ā€œwhenā€ you change your oil and filter. No more than every 5k. I do 4k
  5. Wave Runner 4Runner TRD Pro Build: Kings coilovers 3" lift, 0 offset wheels

    Love to know the final cost, trick, mods, tax.
  6. CD player for dummies

    You might consider getting a friend or you to ā€œRipā€ all your CD tunes to MP3. Then, I assume you can play them directly from a memory stick. Disclaimer, I have not done this in a Toyota but have in many older vehicles.
  7. Sport Mode - not working?

    Off topic but why would you trade an LC for a 4R? Value losses, sales tax, etc.
  8. SR5 owner, is upgrade to Bilstein takeoff suspension from Off-Road model worth it?

    My SR5 is fine. I really don’t see the value in upgrading anything for a ā€œroad orientedā€ car. So many folk are waisting money of after market crap. If you need more ā€œanythingā€ buy a different trim level or vehicle.
  9. Failed State Inspection because of OEM Premium Taillights

    Move out of that crazy state šŸ˜
  10. 4Runner Long Drive question

    I personally think it's a risk taking a new car off the lot and trusting it for a long drive. Generally, things got wrong very early or when the vehicle is old (not including poor maintenance). I'd rent a vehicle and then test/break-in your new 4R close to home. I'd say after 1000 miles...
  11. Squealing brakes issue fixed with heavier rotors replacement

    I don't see a reply from the original poster. Highly suspect information. I will start take a video reversing out of garage to capture the squeal. I would hope that is enough to satisfy the dealer to do the TSB. I will NOT leave it with them. They need to trust the customer! I really don't...
  12. Drive Connect - how to delete / remove “Experience Drive Connect” message?

    Watching..... You should at least be able to change the default startup screen!. Cheap shot from Toyota (again). If its possible, I'd be surprised but welcome it. Sure - I know if you use Apple Maps or the google flavor, the screen will default to it. However, 90% of my driving, I don't need...
  13. Learned something today about the Parking Brake

    I use the auto parking brake. I know there is a button but why would you use that? If I stop, hear the PB activate, what would pressing or pulling the switch do? i guess if normal brakes fail, you can use to button carefully to slow the car??? very confusing statement in the manual shown...
  14. Squealing brakes issue fixed with heavier rotors replacement

    Are your sure the TSB included new rotors? I get the squealing in reverse 3 times a week but other times not when reversing. Its getting more frequent and louder. I park in a climate controlled garage, sometimes for a few days without driving. Does the dealer have to replicate the problem...
  15. Soft Glass - Easily Scratched

    Same as the paint. Soft, not durable. I really don’t know how Toyota got a ā€œQualityā€ label.
  16. ANYBODY USING MILESTAR TIRES?

    I never buy off-brand, non-USA tires. If they were half the cost of a proven name brand, I'd still not even consider. Reasons - Safey, Performance and reliability.
  17. CarPlay, iPhone and Bluetooth question

    As I understand it it, Apple CarPlay used both BT and a WiFi connection to the car. I believe it initially initiates a BT connection but then WiFi. I wanted to connect my phone to a dedicated hotspot and use CarPlay wirelessly. It was not possible because CarPlay takes the WiFi connection on...
  18. Show of hands: Those who do NOT want a moonroof (TRD off-road Premium)

    Not wanted here. Save $$$$, don’t have to deal with leaking, another point of failure outside the warranty. Also, having had them previously, we just don’t use it.
  19. Suspension front lift to level my SR5

    I am totally curious to why you need want to to do that?
  20. TRD PRO Exhaust Tip Mod (Cut End of Exhaust Pipe)

    Any increase in exhaust fumes getting into the cabin now? I think I will leave the OEM in place :)
