You're not nuts There have been some previous posts on heated seats. Here's a link to a recent thread entitled "Heated cloth seats". In it, there is a posting by me which has links to even older posts on heated seats for cloth or leather...

1GR-FE V6 engine performance I think this description on Wikipedia about the 1GR-FE engine (the V6 used in the 4Runner) will better explain the increase in both horsepower and torque when using 91 octane instead of 87 octane. "The 1GR-FE is the 4.0L version. Bore is 94 mm and stroke is 95 mm...

I was cruising eBay looking for ipod adapters, and came across this 2001 4Runner for sale in California. It looks pretty badass, with LOTS of mods. Thought I'd post a link, in case anyone here was looking to purchase something like it. FYI, I have no relation to the seller. I just admired...

I recommend Targus adapters I have a Targus power adapter for my notebook computer which works very well with the 4Runner 12v lighter socket. Go to following Targus website and use their search engine to find the adapter that right for your notebook make & model, and desired usage...

Not so much an accessory to the 4Runner itself, but for where you park it. Came across this novelty sign on Amazon.com, but it can also be purchased directly from the manufacturer's website http://texsignonline.com/4RUNNER-PARKING-ONLY-toyota-atv-street/M/B00095VBR2.htm]

Very cool. Wish it was mine. Why does everyone else have the cool toys?

Correction! This offer ends 12/31/2008 It's in the offer details link, in small print.

I've been very pleased with the service at Grossinger Toyota North. Been a customer of theirs for several years, just for routine scheduled maintenance - nothing more. Am usually greeted with a "Hello, Mr. xxxx" as soon as I walk through the door. The guys in the service department have a...

Here's a past thread that's been referenced many a time. It's in regard to an aftermarket seat heater that can be installed for cloth or leather. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/showthread.php?threadid=15396&highlight=heated+seats Couple of other discussions, which discuss the above...

I doubt any automaker could be successfully sued if they could show they were in reasonable compliance with previous existing government standards.

Existing poll There's already a poll on the subject, albeit open to all 4Runners (not just V6s) found here: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/showthread.php?threadid=7889 And, by the way ... I typically use 89 :D

Same here. I got an online quote for $678 (or thereabouts) from another retailer this past Sunday. Had my mouse pointer hovering over the "Buy" button. But, thought....naw... I'll do it later this week. Went back on Monday just to recheck the price, and it had risen to $899, like everyone...

This article gives an interesting look at what one nuclear explosion at high altitude, and resulting EMP, can accomplish: http://www.worldtribune.com/worldtribune/05/front2453711.9284722223.html After reading it, I too considered what could be done to protect a vehicle. But, there's no...

I use the same spot for the suction cup of my Sirius JVC car kit. Works great. Easy on, easy off. I stow everything in the armrest compartment when not in use. I've no doubt it would be stolen, otherwise (in Chicago anyway).

Some more available items Found more items that are reasonably priced. First is an awning ($99.99) that attaches over the rear hatch...
