That's better! That's about what I had pictured in my head. If it were me, I would use the main ground wire for the relay grounds rather than run the relay ground all the way back up front to the battery. I'd run an inline fuse by the battery on the main power cable to the rear similar to if you were powering an amplifier.

Is there a dedicated Admin for the 3rd gen section??

Yeah, that makes sense actually and should save some wiring. Are there any good tutorials that you know of for amp installs? I've never actually done one.

How do I go about cleaning the inside of the engine bay? I've been slowly detailing my 4runner and the engine bay is the last thing, but I am scared to spray water in there even though I've read that it's perfectly fine. My dream is to keep this baby fully stock and looking brand new.

I've only even uninstalled amps in my vehicles lol I would imagine that crutchfield.com should have some tutorials on install

Hey all,

I have a 2002 limited and looking to get a new set of tires. There are so many different suggestions my head is spinning. Michelin? Nitto? KO2? Falken? Yoko?

Is there a consensus on what the best AT tire is for mostly highway, limited off road that won’t make too much noise?

Thanks in advance.

Anyone ever removed this faux wood stuff? I hate the look of it and actually replaced my climate control panel because I marred up the original so badly trying to remove it. So, any tips for how to remove it without ruining my dash?

Any help would be appreciated!

Valve covers?
Where is the leak roughly, or where do you notice it? Look for wetness.

Get yourself a good heat gun. That's clearly aftermarket there and I'm right there with you on the faux wood. It's gonna be some glue residue and once heated up everything should come off cleanly but you'll have to scrape and pull off remaining stuff. Take some soap and water to it at the end and that should really clean things up. Good luck and hope this helps.

The OEM front skid off an 01-02 will fit a 99-00, right? Looove how they look and wouldn't mind a little protection around there

[thatoneguy]

Looks like the front skid plate takes 7 bolts. Mine only had 4 when I got it. I had to remove for radiator swap. Just got the rear two bolts back in, having trouble with the other two..

how many bolts does the front skid plate truly need?
