I like the color coded handles/mirrors (although I wish they left the grill and bumper chrome!). I like the sport wheels (off road ones are nice too), and mostly I loved the ride and handling feel of the sport buckets with lumbar support. The LSD better not leave me stuck in the sand when I go mountain biking, and hopefully some day the cheesy hood scoop will grow on me (like it has some of you!). Now it is time to accessorize. Where are the best deals to get items like the ovalized tube steps, spare tire lock, locking lugs, bike attachment, etc? Thanks again for everyone's inputs! - Jack

Especially since none of us can compare your sounds to what we think is normal If by rare chance there is a defect in your engine, and you develop a major problem later on in the warranty period, guess what a non-standard oil additive is going to do to your case? As much as I love Toyotas, one small peeve of mine is that they usually don't add much insulation under the hood. I don't know if this is for cost, weight, cultural, or some other reason. Maybe Toyota powerplant engineers LIKE the sounds made by their babies. Who knows? I have an employer-provided Chevy Cavalier that has mountains of insulation under the hood, including a thick hood blanket, and is silent at idle. Too bad everything else about the car sucks. Also keep in mind that you now own an engine with an aluminum block. Depending on what else you've had in the past, any aluminum engine will sound quite different than a cast iron block engine. Different designs, inline vs. vee vs. pancake, will create yet other differences in sounds. |

Hey dudes. I just bought a Lund Interceptor bug shield for my '05 Prerunner access cab and installed it (correctly). Problem is that when I close the hood, the latch wont lock into place. I tried slamming the hood down thinking it would close, but it is still stuck in the position that it was when I popped the hood to begin with. I'm guessing that the bug shild is too thick to fit in the seam of the hood. Also, every time I start my truck, put it in drive and start moving, the truck makes a deep "ping" sound for a second. Happens every time. Don't know if it's normal. Any thoughts on what I should do? |
