Been jumping in at the ready with my phone recording, but no sounds so far since posting. I'll post up one for sure when I finally catch it. And just to clarify on the original post, I meant if I open the door, it does the popping noise about 5 times in 2 seconds then quits so it's very quick...

I've got a 25 Limited and noticed sometimes (1 out of 10 maybe?) when just unlocking and getting in on some mornings after it's sat all night outside that there's a short burst of popping noise that sounds like an AC vent blend door actuator that's stuck. It quits after about 2 seconds, starts...

Gotcha, that may be it as well, but sometimes my AC/air isn't turned on at all. Will have to not if it does it with the air on or not. Let us know what the dealer says, I'd assume it's covered under the basic 3/36K full warranty.

What year and how many miles? I'm at 20k on my 25 and have just a single loud screech that's a fraction of a second long on every startup that sounds closest to this and I can never tell where/what it is other than the engine bay when everything else is cranking up/over at the same time. It's...

Honestly thanks for posting this, I've noticed one of the many Tacoma rattles inside the cabin is coming from the door handle cable. Whenever I have my music on and it hits a moderate to heavy bass if I pull the handle very slightly (I've had many boring hours just driving alone on the highway...

If you press just the button but have your key on you (and don't press the brake) the accessory mode starts up (radio, AC controls, etc). I'd make sure you're pressing the brake pedal hard enough when you try to start the truck next. Sometimes I want to start the truck up but my key fob is...

Just curious, why'd you get rid of them?

Where was the leak from? I see a few bends and dent marks in the cooling fins but nothing that would lead to a leak from the cooling tubes. If it really was from those little dings that's wild, I've seen way worse damage on nearly all my vehicles. I might have to put up a stainless steel mesh...

What Will wrote was dead-on. There's a bunch of caveats and to honor it you have to jump through a bunch of hoops. My own dealer has Lifetime Oil Changes for free and I've just got 25k so it was on my to-do list to find out more - you have to do all service at that specific dealership every 5k...

Just bought one from Troy Dietrich in Greenfield and can vouch for him, the pricing sort of fluctuates on the model year and trim level but overall they ran the exact same when I price checked him against Jerry Johnson at Midwest Superstore earlier this year. He's still gotta make some cheese...

My inflator has the same female thread to uncouple the hose with it, but JACO has a version of that quick connect chuck that's crimped into a short 4" hose with the other end that's a male version (same as any Shrader tire valve), so it can thread into any existing normal female Shrader thread...

Another vote for the JACO quick connect versions, I've got several versions of them on my home garage air lines (for pumping up tires on my mower, cars, log splitter, etc), and have them on my portable handheld battery air pumps as well. So much easier, and I like the integrated digital gauge...

Haha I've never had it on mine, does it have the door-slamming-closed sound like AIM back in the day?

I agree looks like a white paint overspray from another car getting worked on nearby in their shop. For the misalignment on the hood, I'd think it might be possible to barely loosen the bolts one side at a time and have a helper lift the hood and then tighten them back down. That's about the...

You probably need to swap to higher spring rate coil springs, or longer springs with same spring rate in order to compensate with the added shell weight. The shocks are for dampening and cushioning the ride primarily, with some adding some lift options like the 5100's but would give an error I'd...

@BLtheP that's good to know, but on the other hand to say it's been like this for a long time I don't think is the case. My 2016 5th gen 4Runner and several Lexus' (2013 and 2014) in my driveway both have the open to atmosphere vented expansion tank. I'm confident on that as I've topped them off...

Al the Toyotas I've ever owned (and most other cars I'd presume) have the expansion tank open to atmosphere, some more prominently than others. When the coolant heats up during normal running/driving there's no air to compress inside the engines coolant system, so it will automatically open...

All of those sounds aside from the big one at the end are pretty normal. It still sounds like a metal cooling but something is binding up a little more and then popping / releasing after relaxing from the thermal expansion. I'd check all your normal bolting connections at the exhaust points for...

Just FYI only the MAX hybrid option has full time 4WD. My non hybrid has the regular 4wd dial selector to engage 4wd hi or lo. To the OP I'll admit I've never owned a car with a HUD and this one is one of the factors I bought the Limited trim (on top of all the cameras/power/heated options/...

Fill us in what you hear, I don't mind the Limited suspension and ride height as I don't intend for this truck to be an offroader, but do wonder what average lifespan and weak points of these magnetorheological shocks are vs standard shocks should one die out of warranty.
