Itsdchz- 2015 SR5-P Build Thread
2015 T4R SR5 Premium 4x4
Super White with 3rd Row
The 3rd Row prevented me from getting the Trail I wanted, as this was the mandate from the wife. If I wanted a 4Runner build, I also had to sell my 2011 FJ. Time to start the 4Runner build!

My 2011 FJ:




Finding a Blizzard White in an SR5-P with 3rd row was a challenge. Only 2 matching vehicles were in CA and Nevada. Thankfully, my local Toyota dealership's GM (and owners nephew) is a friend of mine, and took the time to secure the trade. Took 5 days for them to get it due to the other dealer not wanting to let it go.

Finally had it just after Thanksgiving:

I've like what you've done so far. It's subtle, but looks great.

I have had Toytec setups on my Gen 3 4Runner and my 2011 FJ Cruiser. I really love their setups, customer service and reliability.

On my 4runner I could not be happier with the responsiveness in turns and the noticeable lack of dipping of the front end, which was the worst out of any vehicle I have ever owned. VERY happy with the setup and highly recommended.

The Scangauge II Bracket is from Paranoid Fabrications.

1st Gen Tacoma ashtray ScanGauge II holder | Catalog Products | Shop | Paranoid Fabrications

I bought the setup used from a forum member and honestly was just after the Scangauge II. But... When I received it, I noticed the bracket (painted black) would slide into the lower console perfectly and I added double sided tape to the top. Perfect fit. I angled the bracket and it sits perfectly. Drilled a hole in the back of the console, with a gasket, and everything seems to work perfectly.







The USB in the glovebox:
Got a right angle USB plug, drilled into console with a gasket. In my FJ, I actually spliced the USB Port and Aux Port from behind and ran to head unit and glovebox. I will end up doing this as well, as I hate the sight of cabling.

In glovebox, pried out the round plug port, (Not a good job, need to touch up the scratches). Mounted a USB extension with the round mounting plate, found on Amazon, and used a gasket to keep it snug:





The Fire Extinguisher and bracket are basically any one you can pick up on Amazon. The bracket is just mounted to the side compartment door:




The Flashlight is mounted using Quickfists:
Amazon has some great package prices.

It took me less than 10mins to move the usb/aux from the front console to the glove box. Let me know if you needhelp with that.

Never thought about moving the entire usb/aux panel from the console to the glovebox. But, that may be a nice idea. I would be interested in the info.

Thank you!
