Trolled this forum for 2 years. Lots of help. Here’s my build result for those who may find it helpful. Cheers.

Interior

Touch Screen protector
• Brand: WONDERFULHZ 2020+
• From: Amazon
• My Rating: 10/10
• Would I buy again? Yes

Center Console tray
• Brand: JKCOVER
• From: Amazon
• My Rating: 6/10
• Would I buy again? Meh. Prob not.
• Notes: not a fan of not being able to close the console unless the tray is pushed forward. It slides back a lot and is annoying

LED INTERIOR Bulbs
• Brand: AUTOGINE 16 piece LED 6000K
• From: Amazon
• My Rating: 8/10
• Would I buy again? Yes
• Notes: YouTube various install videos before you do this. Then it’s easy. Bright, might be too much for some. Did not install in vanity.

Cell phone holder cup mount
• Brand: CTYBB cup holder cradle
• From: Amazon
• My Rating: 7/10
• Would I buy again? Yes, a tad wobbly tho

Molle panel and upper Molle
• Brand: Tac1
• From: Tac1
• My Rating: 5/10
• Would I buy again? Prob not, different brand yes, prob would have done rago
• Notes: not the best fit as far as angles. had to bend each bracket 20 more degrees, that’s not easy. Also switched out the 1/4 fasteners for M6s, why mix types in a truck that is metric? Rattles. But. I really like the roof Molle for fishing rods. So. Meets my needs. Fasteners droop, and rattle. I’m an engineer and have ocd. This drives me nuts.

Front camera and rear override
• Brand: Anytime
• From: Anytime
• My Rating: 8/10
• Would I buy again? Yes
Notes: about a 5hr job if you are anal. Wanderlost overland on YouTube helped research. Put center low. Good fit.

Exterior

Tint - Front windows
• Brand: 3M 20%
• From: some guy down the street
• My Rating: 8/10 (decent match)
• Would I buy again? Yes

Roof rack
• Brand: Prinsu, full length no drill
• From: Prinsu
• My Rating: 8/10
• Would I buy again? A rack? Yes. This one? On the fence
• Notes: modified mounting for no silicone. Search no drill no silicone thread for details. I Very much like the prinsu profile vs others. 2” cross bars better for my needs than some others which are 3” a few taps were short, and one of the large fender washers rusted in 1 year. In socal.

was the third row seat an option in the limited model for 2021? I never have seen a limited without the third row. I noticed your second row seats fold up like the 2 row configurations. did you change the seating at all?

nice write up

3rd row was and still is an option, when I bought only about 1 in 20 came without. I stalked inventory until I found one without. No mods.

Thanks for the helpful review. Perhaps this would be a good addition to the "Limited Edition Mod Thread".

I didn't realize Limiteds w/o the 3rd row option were so rare. My Army Green 2022 is my third LE and none have had the third row. Guess I lucked out as I would of had no use for it.

I wonder if it's regional. I've never seen a 4runner limited without a third row in Canada

My 2014 Limited doesn't have a 3rd row, from Calgary.

I have a limited with only two rows of seats. They are very rare and hard to get.

Really? That must be regional rarity. I just ordered a 2-row limited at the end of last week and the local dealer didn't blink an eye...told me I'd have it in 4 months or so.

Maybe I'm getting a unicorn and don't even know it.

damn wtf. I would have liked a 2 row limited but it is what it is, maybe in the 2012 model year they just weren't very popular and became popular as the vehicle gained more popularity in general

I have a 2016 Limited with 2 rows, was very hard to get, had to trade with a remote dealer to get it. Also have a 2021 Limited with 3 rows. Heard at this time impossible now to get 2 row Limiteds.

Hey at least we didnt get the 4cyl 2wd one the US got

lmfao that 4cyl would be 0-60 in like 20 seconds hahahaha a 4cyl lmao this vehicle is near 5,000lbs

Come just because it can barely make it out of the garage and ideally always needs to be driven downhill.. no need to make fun of it...

Well ok..its a POS!

Is there anybody on this forum who even has one? Never seen one other than for sale years ago at Southern US dealers.

Hmm, interesting. There are several 2-row Limiteds allocated to the KC metro dealers as we speak.

Nightshade came as a 2 row

lmao it was discontinued in 2011 after a less than 10% success rate. it didn't last very long. any canadian 4 cylinder models would be from 2010 and unless it was VERY well taken are of the road salt and winters would have taken their toll after 13 years
