Oh man, that'll do it.
We all been there including me.
Fortunately my cargo area has an all weather tray that caught the water. It soaked everything within the tray though...
Rancho Cordova CA has the best parts yard for 4runners I’ve seen. There is always several parts 4runners listed.
Sad seeing so many 4runners taken off the road but their loss is my gain. Some day soon that’ll change, but it’s been a good run all things considered.
Fabricating sheet metal is more necessary depending where you live, as I understand clean 3rd gens on the rust belt are much less common. If parts 4runners are available take advantage of it while you can.
