Hi,

I would like to fit the towbar to my 2009 Tarago, so that I can put the bikes rack at the back.

I note that Toyota Genuine Accessories has a "Towbar with Rear Step & Side Protector". However, fitment requires Factory Fitted Sonar to be deactivated on my GLX.

Actually, I don't mind to have a towbar without the Rear Step & Side Protector.

I want the towbar and also want to keep my rear Sonar. I am too lazy, I cannot park my car without the rear Sonar.

Is it possible to have my towbar fitted and also keep my rear Sonar ? If yes, could you please let me know where I can do it?

Many Thanks.

There is apparently a Toyota towbar that fits that still allows you to use the sonars. If you are in Sydney try Phil McCarroll Toyota at Waitara I know they offer one

Thank you for your reply.

      Buying 3rd hand 2010 Aurion Sportvio for $9000

      I bought my 2006 ATX Aurion back in 2015/2016 with 160,000 KMs on the odometer. 8 years and 100,000+ KMs later, still going strong. I do a lot of preventative maintenance with regular engine oil changes. Transmission fluid has been changed and also the coolant. In that time period, I have replaced the water pump, alternator and both front and rear struts/shock absorbers. In hindsight, I have replaced brake pads much sooner than needed. Overall, future maintenance should not be expensive.

      KUN26R Hilux Single Cab - Tray to Tub

      Hi Reece, I've been trying to reply to this post, but for some reason the site wouldn't let me. On one of my morning walks, with my dogs, there is a Hi Lux tub sitting on the nature strip. I know nothing about it, except that I think the owner could well sell it, but hasn't. I will attach a photo for you, and if you are interested I will email you the address, if you PM me with it. Note that it is in Geelong, Victoria, maybe a good reason to visit. . Herb

      Removing low beam bulb 2014 Camry

      Fitting on the headlight bulb appears to be the usual twist to release and lock. Definitely do not try to brute force the removal because you will definitely break something like the headlight housing. Suggest that you use some WD-40 and have a real good look at the existing bulb using a mirror and a good light source. Then have a few wiggles attempts to loosen the existing bulb so it can then be removed. If this does not work, then time to be smart and not stubborn. Far better to pay a $15 fitting fee than the exorbitant cost to replace a damaged headlight assembly.

      Buying 3rd hand 2010 Aurion Sportvio for $9000

      That is about the standard price you'd expect nothing crazy, I paid pretty much the same for a 2008 model with 160k on the clock. As to the high km's and maintenance, 165,000km for a Toyota is nothing to sweat about and the maintenance/repairs are pretty cheap. If it's been treated well by the previous owners and you continue to look after it then it will easily last you another 5 years.

      Removing low beam bulb 2014 Camry

      I apologise if this is an idiotic question--I've searched and watched dozens of videos on how to replace a burnt out bulb, and i'm fine with it (i've even done it before, though it was years ago). the problem is that I can't seem to get the bulb out of the 'plug'/base--it seems that that is too blindingly obvious to be explained or shown on camera. I can't remember what I did last time I replaced a bulb... I don't know if I have to push something on the fitting to release it, if i have to twist it, or just yank really hard. I've applied as much strength as I dared, but am afraid of breaking something if i try to brute force it out. I could just pay $15 for someone at supercheap to pop it out and replace it for me but it's become a matter of principle at this point... I'm unwilling to admit defeat. The photos below are from a different post on this forum, but they're the same exact kind of bulb/fitting i'm struggling with... Any tips would be much appreciated. My wife is getting really annoyed with me because we can't drive at night but i'm too stubborn to pay $15. Thanks!
