My son just bought a 2012 RTL and I ordered a rear view mirror to replace this one (glass surface is deteriorated), I may have ordered the wrong one. I can’t ID the mirror in it, it displays digital temp and direction on the right and has an added area to the bottom of it. None of the used OEM ones I found look like this. What am I missing?
Not sure where to post this, we just got a new patio cover installed, the company has a great reputation and it looked fantastic when finished. They flashed it said there shouldn’t be any issues. Just had the first heavy rain on it and there’s leaking by part of the soffit, water almost looks like it’s coming into the soffit. I’m calling them tomorrow, but not sure where the water is getting through. We had them remove the old cover (W channel) and it leaked, but only from the connection point to the fascia and not the soffit like this.
I’m looking for a lightly used 2014-2018 GX to replace my aging 4Runner, and have a question about the trim levels. Almost all I see are base level trim. No Levinson, air ride, real leather, etc. Am I really missing anything special if I concentrate on the base level? I mean, I am coming from a 4th gen 4Runner that’s pretty spartan, so any luxury features will be a welcome upgrade.
Anyone using aftermarket seat covers? Post photos and mfg name, I have a 2006 Sport, looking to maybe cover the front seats.
What does everyone use for dividers in deeper drawers in a tool bench drawer? I have a variety of crap that I’d like to organize better and maybe have 2 or 3 dividers in each of my 16x26x8” deep metal drawers.
This truss support (or whatever it’s called) on my shed had peeling paint (basically came off in one big strip) and some of the wood under was soft, maybe 1/4”-1/3” deep, there are no leaks and the issue is confined to only this spot. Shingles and flashing look good. Could it just be age? Shed is 25+ years old.
Is this blackout / top a special option? I’ve seen a stealth package that’s maybe dealer installed that resembles this, this is a 2019.
My 8x12 shed has some roof rot, basically just the decking on one corner. It doesn’t extend into the interior, just this section on the outside. Can I just tear off the shingles in this little area, cut out a replacement piece and fit it in? I hate to tear off one whole side and put in a whole new 4x8 sheet.
I have a 2007 SR5 Double Cab with 145k miles, well maintained but I’m wondering if the suspension or some components are starting to age. When I go over a bump at say 30mph, there is this annoying, vibrating squeak, and it will last a second or two after hitting the bump. It seems to be in unison to the bed bouncing going over the bump.
This short video gives you an idea of the sound, but it doesn’t tell you where it’s coming from. It sounds like it’s under the truck, but hard to nail down, almost sounds like it’s below the front part of the bed. It does have what appears to be mostly factory suspension, and probably OEM shocks. I had a truck shop try to replicate by bouncing, shaking, etc and no luck. I haven’t had it in for a full suspension check yet, that’s next. Truck rides nice and quiet on the highway. Any ideas?
I’m retired, and looking for a little more in a semi-daily driver. I have a 2006 4Runner I bought / rescued from a family member, it’s been fun putting it back together but I’m ready to shift gears into a smaller SUV that’s agile and more fun. Our other cars are my wife’s 2019 QX80, my 2007 Tundra double cab, and our 2002 Suburban we bought new, so I have the big ass vehicle market covered.
I’ve been looking at Macans, and would like to know what to look for and be aware of in the used / CPO market. I’ve test driven an S, so I know the car a bit, but could I be chasing a maintenance nightmare? I can afford the maintenance, but I don’t want a money pit. This would be my around the town fun car with limited use (I think). I’ve driven Mazda, BMW, Lexus, domestic alternatives… nothing comes close to the fun factor.
