A 4-pin trailer wire extension. Here's a 60" one from Lowe's for $7. Hopkins makes a 48" one iirc. You can get a 7-pin extension, too. A cheap solution to an odd outlet placement.

http://www.lowes.com/pd/Reese-Connec...-Loop/50437618

And Invisible Glass; I never leave home without it. Available almost everywhere from Walmart to auto parts stores to Target for about $4. It's like weak bug & tar remover. I haven't taken the paint off any vehicles yet. Use newspaper to clean with - no streaks. (Better than Windex ever was.)

This 2016 TEP w/KDSS is a big step up from the 1986 Subaru GL wagon I used on the Outer Banks beaches for 14 years. That thing would go anywhere in the sand on 185/70-13 tires. Dual range 5 speed, factory skid plate, 3 position manually adjustable rear shocks and armored exhaust. All factory, including the white spoke wheels. The front sub frame finally rusted apart.

Wifi or Bluetooth OBD module. For $20-$30 you can save hundreds at the dealer.

+1 for this, and when you pay the $10 for the Carista app, you can enable remote window role down with the key fob and disable seat belt chimes.

I haven't even taken delivery of my 4Runner yet (should be about 2 weeks just like OP), but I've already purchased the following:

1. Salex Organizer (Glove Box only; still waiting to see if I'm going to get a Console Vault. If not, I'll get the Salex OCD console organizer as well). Make sure to use the Amazon Code OCDSALEX for a discount. Less than $20.
Link: https://www.amazon.com/Vehicle-Organ...alex+glove+box

2. HID light kit from XENON Depot w/ Philips 4300K upgrade. I also added the following Philips Vision replacement LED bulbs: map lights, dome light, and license plate lights. I considered upgrading all interior halogen bulbs to LED, but for minimal expense with biggest impact I settled on what I listed above. And of course, there is a coupon code for 20% off: SS20. Less than $200.
Link: https://www.xenondepot.com/H11-HID-kits-s/290.htm

3. OEM All Weather Floor Liners Black (PT908-89160-02). I debated between Weathertech and Husky, read several threads, and even watched some YouTube videos. In the end it came down to fit, I like the way the OEM mats fit versus the aftermarket solutions. If you don't plan on having mud or water pool inside the vehicle, this may be a factor for your decision (I needed better protection than carpet, but not the extreme protection of Weathertech or Husky). Less than $120.
Link: All Weather Floor LinersBlack PT908-89160-02

4. Weathertech TechShade. I definitely overpaid for this item, but I couldn't find anything else and Weathertech is a trusted brand in the industry. Less than $60.
Link: Windshield Sun Shade - Custom Car Window and Windshield Sunshade | WeatherTech.com

5. Black Out Coverlays for Rear of 4Runner 2014+. With shipping, total cost was $80.64.
Link: Black Out Coverlays for Rear of 4Runner 2014+ 00012-R1640-23-24

6. CANVASBACK cargo liner. I have a dog, so this was a must have. This set gets great reviews on the forum, which is where I found out about them. $169 shipped.
Link: Toyota 4Runner Cargo Liners | Canvasback.com

7. Toyota 4Runner Owners Manual. If you already know your VIN number, you can register it on the Toyota Owners website. This is FREE, and I guess would fall under the category of making your 4Runner easier to work on.
Link: Toyota Owners Official Web Site

8. LAMIN-X Fog Light Film. Mainly for looks, but it looks awesome! And it's less than $20.
Link: http://www.lamin-x.com/SearchResults...Covers&Submit=

Also on the cheap side, matching front window tint will be one of the first things I do when I take delivery. Should run around $80. Another option would be to tint the front windshield with Llumar Air Blue 80; it won't make the window any darker (you wouldn't want to anyway), but it will protect you and your dash from UV rays.

Wow. I'm impressed. So far 2 pages of suggestions with no mention of firearms. That has to be some sort of record. Albeit, that console vault was a close call.

I second the salex organizer.

Well ok, I do have a Mag Safe 3 ready to go once I get some other cargo area organization done and an overhead locking rifle rack installed.



This is what I had setup in my Tahoe before trading it in on the 4Runner..



For the 4Runner I want to do something similar to this..



But I'm waiting to post anything about it until I get it completed...

You can pull off a full install for about $20 - $40. Very useful for camping and offroading at night..

Get 2 sets of these. Double it to 4 sets if want more intensity up front and in the rear.
http://a.co/eXqwWhy

They put off an amazing amount of light and are surprisingly durable and hold up to the elements much better than I expected. And if they don't... well. you spent $10-20 LOL. Mine are still working just fine.

Wire and switch of your choice. I just used scrap stuff I had lying around. Get some very thin aluminum angle or plastic and some good double sided tape and mount them up on your body mounts where they are protected. Requires some time to route the wires.. but it is a great first project and very cheap and easy. Plus it will give you some time under the truck figuring out where things are...

If you want to get really creative, you can wire them into your puddle lights and have them come on when you approach the vehicle.... but that requires a bit more hacking and tearing the truck apart and splicing.... But it's pretty darn cool when you walk up and you truck lights up like a UFO....

Alternatively, you can also get a little cheap wireless controller to switch them on and off. http://a.co/ap4znHh

The really neat part about this is that you should be able to pair this to your home link buttons in the truck. (I'm assuming the newer models still have this). Can't guarantee that particular controller will work, but something similar can be done and I think that one will do it..
Is there a how-to DIY tutorial on this? This would be pretty cool! But I have to admit, i have no experience doing any sort of aftermarket wiring or installing switches of any kind...

Seems cool, but wouldn't this prevent you from accessing the mirror on the sun visor?

There are tons of wiring write ups here.

Long story short, go through the firewall grommet, and use a blank left of your steering wheel.

It's incredibly easy.
