I just had my truck at the dealer for a different reason. They said they had to replace the 12V battery because it didn't have enough charge for their diagnostic/update tools (i forgot the exact term he used). He said he has not heard about a bad batch of batteries or hybrid not charging the...

LOL. But seriously, what's the best brand of oil ?

I might get one if it made this noise.

Good: - Trail hunter skid plate - Bed Step Bad: - hard tonneau cover -when it rains it always wet under there

I like how the "after" picture is the one with the rodent.

Welcome to the 21st century where it's not expected that a consumer needs to disassemble their vehicle to go on holidays for 2 weeks. Maybe that made sense in the 70s but most of us have moved on and have no interest in going back. Its true all vehicles have some parasitic battery drain but...

I tried to just disable the app or its functions. Only way i could get it to STFU was deleting it.

Do you all get constantly nagged to reconnect and re-authenticate? That's why i deleted the app.

"Drive more or get a trickle charger" is a ridiculous response from the dealer or Toyota. My battery has always started the truck but if i was having this problem i would look into trickle charging the 12V battery from the Nimh while the truck is not running. Just remove it before going to...

Any money i might have spent on extended warranty (for any type of purchase) has usually gone into my retirement fund.

Thanks for the ideas @Baltimore. I now have 3 aux wires in the fuse box for use. I decided to leave the switch harnesses as is - except i tapped into the output similar to how you tapped the illumination. I only need one switch now but ran 3 wires for the 3 switches. I used hit shrink around...

I have a limited which is not supposed to have Aux functionality. The switch wire harness is there but switches, fuses, relays and Aux connectors are missing. @Baltimore I just found an old thread where you described the same situation. Were you able to make use of the switch wiring ?

It seems i have partially implemented Aux functionality. I have a limited hybrid so i did not expect any Aux wiring. I thought i would have to run wires thru the firewall to add switches. But the switch connectors are wired and powered behind the 3 switch blanks. However there are no Aux...

Its the perfect tire for me. I didnt want to change any front end geometry too much or tire weight. These tires ride better, traction is vastly improved and as a bonus they look great. It looks and feels like a truck now. Best mod. I probably took a small hit to gas mileage.

You might be hearing the pressure vents behind the rear seats. I have not looked but it would be nice to deaden the sound.

I think they're ugly. Mine came off day 1. The hood badges are next. Be very careful with the paint. It's alot softer than any previous vehicle i had. gly

Tires are definitely the biggest functional enhancement but i would hate the truck if I didn't disable the seat belt chime.

You didnt ask for a guess but here is mine. Pin 1 - Ground Pin 2 - unused Pin 3 - Key-on power (accessory) Pin 4 - Battery (+12) Pin 5 - Canbus High Pin 6 - Canbus Low Pin 7 - TAIL ? Possible for the charge indicator Pin 8 - Smart key ECU You probably want accessory power but i'm not sure i...

Im not sure about the schematic but how many pins are on the connector for the charge pad? In the picture above, not clear but it looks like 2 - which is all it really needs.

How often are the tires rotated? Forget it - i just saw this only happens with braking.
