Remember, you’ll be better for it.

 

Can we maybe try going back to the long blank posts again?

 

Got the plug re-wired into the harness. It’s ugly, and probably needs to be re-done sometime down the road. Everything is back to working and no more dash lights.

 

Yeah, you like that?

TPMS QUESTION

I am going to swap the wheels off my 2nd gen and put on my other wheelset (FJ Cruiser wheels), but those don't have TPMS. I had discount tire install the tires on those wheels so they wouldn't charge me for re-balancing, but the quote for 5 new TPMS sensors and installation seemed a bit high at like $400+

Any tips on saving some money on getting/installing 5 TPMS sensors? I can then take them to Discount Tire to get rebalanced then under their "lifetime" "infinite" balancing/rotation (except I don't trust them to rotate, so I take them wheels in separately so they don't touch my lug nuts or over torque my studs).

Edit: I can also do the programming/pairing with Techstream for the 4 wheels the truck can monitor (not 5 apparently).

 

I think most of that cost is related to the TPMS Sensors, use you google Ninja skills and get them cheap online from Toyota parts or Dealership. My buddy last year had 2 "go bad" and think he said he found them online from toyota dealership in FL for like $50 each.

 

Friends don't let friends TPMS

 

Three great solutions:
1. Place TPMS sensors in trash can. Live with light on dash. (This method has been extremely successful for me for the last few years)
2. Place TPMS sensors in trash can. Find the wiring behind the dash that needs to be adjusted to turn light off. (seems like too much work for me)
3. Drill 4 holes in a small chunk of PVC piping that match the diameter of the neck on the TPMS sensors. Insert sensors. cap ends of pipe. Pressurize to psi on door tag. Toss under back seat. (added benefit of having a pipe bomb in your truck at all times)

 

I dont even see my light anymore.

 

TPMS

You could break the bead yourself with a highlift jack and a minor deathwish. Secure the jack to a bumper or slider with a ratchet strap to reduce risks. Install the factory sensor or one with a matching frequency/communication type and air it back up. The balance would likely not be out enough to notice on a truck with off road tires. I've had aftermarket sensors fail in only a year where Toyota sensors usually over a decade. I eliminated the system in my 2004 4runner in 2019 when I lost a sensor to low battery voltage.

 

Happy last Monday of 2020 everybody

 

First Monday of 2021 waiting for us tomorrow like:

 

Happy belated bday @thefatkid


My wife's honda had the tpms light on during the last road trip. Has been reset a half dozen times; usually once they are all good it stays off til the weather changes or we leave town. They are way sensitive is my point.

I haven't had any for a few years now. Seems like discount had a setup for around 100 bucks when they tried to upsell me last time... I'd definitely look online for some from toyota if your dead set on replacing....
